Durability is something of a relative question. Sapphire is scratch and shatter resistant, until it isn't, and then the failure is pretty dramatic. Other mineral or plexi crystals are more prone to scratching, but less likely to shatter catastrophically. There's a reason the moonwatch didn't use sapphire.

But yes, if you're looking for the peak in scratch resistance, sapphire is the way to go.
