iFixit noted that the raised titanium lip does little to protect the Apple Watch Ultra’s screen.

has revealed that while the new smartwatch lives up to its rugged reputation, repairing it will be challenging.

However, once the screws were removed, iFixit pried open the back of the watch, immediately destroying the Apple Watch Ultra’s waterproofing gasket. iFixit noted that one of Apple’s standout features for the watch — the titanium case’s raised lip — does little to protect the screen. “There’s about 178 degrees of danger for the screen here.
