Here at Telegraph Men, we love watching the wanton destruction of an expensive gadget as much as the next guy (just so long as the gadget in question doesn't belong to us, of course).

And never does the internet fuel our guilty pleasure so thoroughly as in the immediate aftermath of a big release by tech giant Apple. There's something about the company's small, perfectly formed and achingly fetishistic products that really brings out the most creative work from online pranksters.

The Apple Watch has now been on sale for just over four days - plenty of time for tech torturers to reach for their hammers / blenders / frying pans.

Here, in all its joyous excess, is a rundown of the best Apple Watch destruction videos to have been posted online so far...

1. Will it blend?

Is there anything that won't?

2. Will it scratch?

Only when its tormentor uses sandpaper.

3. Will it drown?

For those annoying occasions when you've washed your jeans with your Apple Watch in the pocket.

4. Will it smash?

"Are you serious, Apple? Are you serious, Apple?"

5. Will it withstand liquid nitrogen (and a club hammer)?

Is that even a fair contest?

6/7/8/9. Will it grate/get drunk/boil/stand up to a cast iron frying pan?

Skip forward to 3:47 for the money shot.

10. Will it survive being run over by a car?

Warning: BMW product placement.

11. Will it 'teardown'?

Well, that was sort of the point...
