TechRax has taken his Apple product torture tests to the next level, crushing a $10,000 gold Apple Watch Edition with neodymium magnets.

What better way to put the 38mm 18k yellow gold Apple Watch Edition to use then to crush it with 2 powerful neodymium magnets equaling to 650 pounds of force!

Those of you who like the look of the gold watch, but can't afford to spend $10,000 on one, should check out this gold plating option.

Take a look at the video below...

What does it prove? Two things: 1. iClarified will post almost anything, regardless of how lame brain. 2. Slow news day! :p

AppleCare will take care of this problem

icar - June 16, 2015 at 12:22pm

Of course AppleCare will cover this Apple Watch.

With all the people starving in the world... this is how you spend +10K USD?

Videos like this reach millions of views from curious viewers. Millions of views equals a fat check from YouTube ads. I doubt the maker of this video used an actual gold Apple watch, specially since it's fairly easily to plate on in gold nowadays but he/she will surely make the money for it.

He showed the box, he showed the inscription on the back of the watch(which would not be present if you did gold plating). It was definitely a real Apple Watch edition.

I'm calling BS on this one. Notice the supposed "real" iWatch disappears out of frame for a long time while the magnets are introduced and discussed. Then, the watch is brought back into frame under the guise of being the same watch. I realized that the end result was a crushed watch that looks very much like an iWatch. Nevertheless, I'm calling BS.

I second your BS!

PaladinLV - June 15, 2015 at 10:21pm

Especially considering the little caveat about "plating!"

what the point here??? i only see waste of brain

Woz - June 14, 2015 at 11:21pm

Actually it's quite entertaining.

gamerscul9870 - June 15, 2015 at 3:17am

The only entertainment is how much people wasted money on stuff to destroy. We laugh in their humiliation.

I jus want the magnets

Memeni - June 14, 2015 at 11:08pm

It's only $10,000 don't see what the big deal is. I spend at least that much every 2 days.

justabrake - June 14, 2015 at 10:42pm

I would have been more interested if it were dropped from some high building then to have that done !

Tech Jedi - June 14, 2015 at 10:40pm

I have yet to understand how destroying an Apple device in so many ways proves anything. It never claims to be indestructible

Woz - June 14, 2015 at 11:20pm

It proves that it's fun to watch.

gamerscul9870 - June 15, 2015 at 3:17am

The only fun here is watching how much money they wasted over useless test to prove nothing.

Woz - June 16, 2015 at 6:29pm

Its not wasted money, because this person makes more money on this video. Nice try though.

gamerscul9870 - June 16, 2015 at 7:05pm

That depends. Can he reach a certain number of views and get all of his money back? Nice try yourself!

Woz - June 16, 2015 at 9:39pm

With the amount of money he makes on his other videos I think he can choose to justify this expense. If he couldn't then he probably wouldn't have done this video.

gamerscul9870 - June 16, 2015 at 9:58pm

At what chance? How many videos, what amount of views, how much in total?

Omar - June 14, 2015 at 8:41pm

This has gone from beyond stupid to unlimited stupid.

Gabe - June 14, 2015 at 10:07pm

It's gone to ludacris stupid.
