Is the Apple Watch Saphire Glass and the Ion Glass Interchangable?

Is the Apple Watch Saphire Glass and the Ion Glass Interchangable? I have a Apple Watch Sport and I have suffered my first face scratch. I have read and seen test that show the saphire face holds up better than the Ion glass. Rather than get the glass replaced with the same low grade glass, can put the saphire glass in the sport watch?

"Hey Jimmy, the both of them are not interchangeable because both of these glasses were made for separate models. The Apple Watch Sport and the Apple Watch are two different models engineered differently. Unless a separate manufacturer creates a Sapphire glass for the Sport, it isn't possible at the moment. Check out my previous answer for more details.

-Let me know if this helped.

-Please accept this as the answer if it answered the question."

"While we don't have a functioning Sport Watch to test in house, we do have a working steel Watch so we tested this out!

The Sport display connectors match the steel connectors perfectly, and the Apple Watch powers on with the Apple Watch Sport display.

While this doesn't 100% guarantee that a sapphire display will work on a Sport edition, it seems like there's a good chance it will!"
