Many questions have been asked about the Apple Watch. Perhaps the biggest hasn’t been answered, until now: will it blend?

The answers is, unsurprisingly, yes: if cast into a box with fast-spinning, sharp blades, the watch will be ground up into tiny bits. But knowing the conclusion of the experiment doesn’t make watching it being carried out any more disturbing or less enjoyable.

The Watch survives for a remarkable long time, being thrown around the blender, until it starts getting ripped apart. When it does, the straps are torn to shreds and the face is smashed into bits.

By the video, the blender is mostly filled with black powder, sprinkled with some silver shining rocks.

Blendtec seem to have used the £299 Apple Watch Sport, with a white sport band.

In response to speculation that Apple’s next big product could be its own electric car, dubbed the iCar, Blendtec says that it will be able to blend any smart automobile the company releases. At the end of the video, presenter Tom Dickinson is seen welding together a giant blender in preparation for the rumoured releases.
