The Screen Sport Watch Makes Better than the Watch Edition



better than the Edition model higher-end of the SmartWatch. DisplayMate has published a report in which makes it clear that there are differences between screens the two models of Apple Watch, let's move detallarte below.

Although the screen Edition model is made of sapphire material and has greater resistance to scratches, Ion-screen X Sport model is built with some less expensive materials, it has better reflexes and treatment higher performance with outdoor lighting. We will give more details on this difference.

Screen Sport Watch has better visibility in ambient light

Apparently the two screens behave in a similar way or artificial lighting dark areas, but when exposed to ambient light performance is not the same.

"In the darkness, Apple Watch both screens seem to operate identically, but with ambient light act differently due to the difference in reflectance materials and sapphire crystal .." says the report DisplayMate.

As you can see in the picture above, the display Ion-X Sport model has a 4.7% reflectance of light, while the sapphire screen Edition model has a reflectance of 8.2%, which equivalent to 74% more light reflection cheaper model.

"74% of the reflectance of Apple Edition Watch with sapphire screen means almost twice reflect ambient light as the Sport model. Moreover very little ambient light so that differences are readily apparent need. "

DisplayMate report gives many details about different lighting conditions, but always comes to the same conclusion, the display Sport model works best under conditions of ambient light. In addition to the report they have used different lighting conditions with moderate light, shade or a cloudy sky, always better off leaving the Sport model.

"The reflected ambient light reduces image contrast white text and graphics, and color saturation. The difference between the two screens are very striking and very obvious. "


This problem could be solved by improving the sapphire screens upcoming models of Apple Watch Edition, so that they reflect less light, but obvious to everyone that the simplest and cheapest model of the SmartWatch has a better performance in their screen the more expensive model, discrediting the high end of Apple Watch. It is also a problem that users have realized, when comparing both models in the same light conditions. The report some details of the possibility that Apple improves the sapphire material so that the difference is not so evident in the future, as we have known is given by 9to5Mac . We'll see how Apple solves this problem.
