Yes, the Apple Watch Blends

Blendtec and Tom Dickson have returned with the latest edition of their "Will It Blend" experiment, this time putting the Apple Watch in a blender to see how well it survives. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. Just like with every iPhone put through the blender treatment, the Apple Watch is quickly smashed and destroyed into tiny bits and pieces of metal.

Last week, the Apple Watch Sport was put through a lengthier torture test that involved attempting to scratch it with a cheese grater, pouring ketchup and maple syrup on it, boiling it in hot water, stepping on it, smashing it with a seven-pound cast iron skillet and more. The wrist-worn device also underwent a waterproof test on the same day.

Don't try this at home.

I think this was one of the better ones. They showed the whole thing being destroyed with some great slo-mo. Also one of the funnier does with the car. Keep it up Blendtec!

I read that the Apple Watch Edition would be blend-proof. Can't wait until blendtec proves me wrong.
