The Ion-X Glass on the aluminum Series 2 and 3 Apple Watch models are susceptible to crack easily. With or without any impact to the Apple Watch, the screen can crack from a hairline to the whole perimeter.
In the pictures shown above, the Apple Watch display can start cracking from the bottom right of the screen, then extending to around the screen edges. This results from the aluminum model Apple Watch Series 2 and 3 screen composition being much thinner and more brittle, which may be causing the screen to crack easily around the rounded edges. The stainless steel and ceramic Apple Watch Series 2 and 3 models are not affected by this recall as the screen is made out of sapphire crystal, not Ion-X Glass. This type of glass is stronger and harder to crack than the aforementioned ones used in the aluminum models.
