Does Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Have Sapphire Crystal Display

Yes, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic features a sapphire crystal display — the same scratch-resistant material used in luxury watches. Both 43mm and 47mm models have sapphire crystal.


Sapphire Crystal Properties

MaterialSynthetic corundum (aluminum oxide)
Hardness9 on Mohs scale (diamond is 10)
Scratch ResistanceVirtually scratch-proof from daily contact

What Won't Scratch It

Keys, coins, desk surfaces, zippers, most jewelry, sand, and typical daily activities won't scratch sapphire crystal. Only materials harder than 9 on the Mohs scale (diamond, some industrial tools) can scratch it.

What Can Damage It

  • Diamond jewelry (can scratch)
  • Granite countertops (may contain quartz)
  • Direct hard impacts (can crack — sapphire is brittle)
  • Dropping onto hard surfaces

Both Watch 6 Models Use Sapphire

Samsung uses sapphire crystal across the Galaxy Watch 6 line — it's not exclusive to the Classic.


Care and Cleaning

Clean with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Dampen slightly if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cloths, or excessive pressure. The sapphire surface will maintain its clarity for years with minimal care.
