Wearing watch during soccer
Anybody know if AppleWatch 7 can handle being worn by a soccer goalkeeper during a game? I am wondering about the g-forces of stopping a shot.
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

Apple Watch Series 7 - Apple (CA)
50% thicker front crystal. The front crystal is over twice as thick at its tallest point as Apple Watch Series 6, adding strength and durability.

Robust geometry. The front crystal has been redesigned with a flat base, creating a sturdier shape more resistant to cracks.
OLED display. The touch sensor has been integrated onto the OLED panel, creating one unified component and reducing display thickness and borders.
TL;DR - Seems pretty tough. There's even "soccer fitness" apps on watchOS's App Store, however; Probably get AppleCare+ on it anyways so if accidental damage occurs, you get reduced rates.
Don't think you'll get any guarantees from anything that it won't get broken for certain activities, eg. mountain biking, mountain climbing, skydiving... extreme badminton. Maybe see if pro soccer players wear it? Informative YouTube videos maybe could add more opinionated value here...
