Notable from their Day 1 tests is that the Apple Watch Sport screen does scratch but only after going pretty far down the Moh’s hardness scale (7-rated) into the unlikely to ever happen category.

The hardness of drinking water, which depends on its mineral content, may adversely affect human health, including kidney stone and eczema.

The researchers predicted that uakitite is between 9 and 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning it's very hard — a diamond falls at 10. But Sharygin explained that the Mohs scale has a wide ...

Using the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness of minerals from 1 to 10, the YouTuber shows how scratch resistant the screens of devices such as phones and smartwatches are.

Soft water contains lower concentrations of these minerals. Hardness is measured in terms of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃, which is used as a reference point for comparing different minerals.

How hard water is measured Water hardness measures extra minerals, like calcium and magnesium, in milligrams per liter (mg/L) of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), said the U.S. Geological Survey.
