"Apple Watch Series 7 has the most crack-resistant front crystal yet. Aluminum models have Ion‑X front glass. Stainless steel and titanium models have sapphire front crystals."

They used to list it on the Tech Specs page when you purchased the watch, during the event for the first generation they made a point of talking about Ion-X and its durability and the scratch resistance of the sapphire crystal. For longtime watch collectors there are other ways to tell the difference and any watch shop can also do so. The reason main reason I buy the SS models is for the Sapphire crystals.
