This makes the watch more scratch resistant and durable than the regular version. The sapphire version also has a different color scheme than the regular version, with a blue bezel and strap. Gorilla Glass is made of alkali metal silicate and has improved durability due to an ion exchange process. This creates a certain surface compressive stress and protects the glass from scratches. In addition, the break resistance of Gorilla Glass is 8 times higher than that of conventional (mineral) glass. Gorilla Glass vs Sapphire Glass Watches
