Corning Wearables

Corning has announced a new variant of its scratch resistant glass, the Gorilla Glass SR+. This new variant is designed exclusively for wearable devices, such as smartwatches and fitness bands.

According to Corning, SR+ achieves scratch resistance approaching that of "alternative luxury cover materials" (probably referring to sapphire crystal) while having 70% better damage resistance against impact and 25% better surface reflection compared to the same alternative material. The improved optical performance should help increase readability outdoors and require lower display brightness.

Gorilla Glass SR+ is now commercially available and is expected to be on products later this year.

Maybe Corning should be working on making the product oleophobic too, at least. Preferably "Super oleophobic" would be MUCH better. FYI
