So I do think that it's tough to just scratch a sapphire crystal, but they can shatter when hit with force. Mine didn't even drop that far, just land smack dab on the cyclops at the right angle.
Most watch related accidents are in bathrooms with hard tile floors keep watches out of the bathroom or be extra careful.
