Mineral Crystal
A toughened glass made from silica that's heat- and scratch-resistant, offering clear visibility and solid everyday durability.
Mineral Glass
Enhanced durability
Mineral crystals use a similar material to windowpane glass and were developed for watches as a harder alternative to acrylic. Mineral crystals are still susceptible to scratches but less so than acrylic, however it is not possible to buff out these scratches as it is with acrylic. Mineral glass is not as shatter resistant as acrylic but does offer greater transparency and clarity. Due to their improved scratch resistance versus acrylic, and improved shatter resistance versus sapphire, mineral is often considered to be the best of both worlds as a crystal material.

Reviews
Awesome watch! Wears light and
"Awesome watch! Wears light and thin on the wrist, looks great, and the indiglo is SO COOL! Honestly an under rated feature on analog watches. Gets 4 stars because of a couple small flaws- the second hand doesn’t quite line up with the indices, and the movement is kinda loud. I can hear it on my bedside table at night in a quiet room. Other than that, it’s great!"

"I like having a regular analog watch that doesn't have smart features to it. Setting it is simple, just like I remember. It took me a while to learn how to set the date properly, it kept changing at noon. Set it back a day, reset the time until the date changes to the correct date, go past noon if you need to and you are set."
