AR coated sapphire crystals... any downsides?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if there are any downsides to AR coated sapphire crystals. I don't think it is darker or anything, but I just want to make sure...

(sometimes I like to see the light reflected off my watch's crystal and directed to wear I point my watch) :-d

Simply by the nature of the design domed crystals are more impact resistant. Or less likely to shatter.

While sapphire is extremely scratch resistant a domed crystal will take the brunt of the punishment while a flat one may be protected by the bezel.
