TechRax asks, “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?”
So, in a followup to his unboxing video, TechRax has posted “$10,000 Gold Apple Watch Edition Crushed By Magnets” to his YouTube Channel.
Check out how the Apple Watch Edition does versus two powerful neodymium magnets:
MacDailyNews Take: Smashingly effective is showing just how hardy Apple Watch Edition is – it still chimes upon connection to the charger!
The 18-karat gold developed for Apple Watch Edition is up to twice as hard as standard gold:

This is more of a business than a hobby. He’s got more than 2,000,000 subscribers to his channel. In other words, a lot more people watch him than watch MSNBC. His more popular videos get millions of views and his channel has had roughly 350,000,000 total views, so he’s paid WELL. There is no way to know his deal with YouTube but based on what I know about others, his channel has probably earned him $750,000-$1,250,000. And that is just in direct payments from YouTube. Savvy YouTubers have other ways to monetize their channels. I bet he’s got other channels, too.
That story was fantastic!
Those magnets can be damned dangerous at that size, they can literally crush someone’s hands...
Did you see the amazing release of mechanical energy released when those two blocks rammed together??? I would not want my hand between them when they met!
. . . but as Bre’r Bear famously put it,Why don’t we justKNOCKhisHEADcleanOFF!
Not mentioned, but visible in the video: The watch also broke one of the magnets.
