Hmm, the only aspect of this video that pertains to the ceramic edition is that it incorrectly points to it with the $369 price.

Ceramic is actually not a bad choice if you're going to be doing a lot of swimming. Not susceptible to corrosion from saltwater or chlorine like its metal counterparts.

I wonder who did the voice over for the video. He sounds just like the guy at OWC who does their instructional videos, and who is a repair tech there.

Apple uses a version of 316 SS for its Watch series. That's very corrosion resistant. It's used in the lab equipment I had in my company.

The Series 2 Apple Watch seems to have a lot of potential as a dive watch, once suitable apps and accessories become available: compass, timer, depth gauge, and (via a transmitter) cylinder pressure gauge.
