Series 5 Materials

Im confused. 


The Apple Watch Series 5 GPS Aluminum says: Ion-X glass, Retina display, and a ceramic back


The Apple Watch Series 5 GPS+Cellular Aluminum says: Ion-X glass, sapphire crystal, Retina display, and a ceramic back.


What portion of the GPS + Cellular has Sapphire Crystals on it? Cause it says Ion-X Glass and it says the back is made of Ceramic.

Depends on the specific model of Watch / case material.


Some will have a combination sapphire crystal and ceramic back, other's will have a sapphire crystal screen / front and sapphire and ceramic back.


Check the tech specs of the specific watch you want to buy at the bottom of the watch's store page. for example: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch?option.watch_cases=MWT52LL/A&option.watch_bands=MWUX2AM/A&preSelect=false&product=Z0YQ&step=detail#


Those than indicate ion glass front and sapphire back will have the sapphire crystal as part of the back.
