Where these two actually differ
- We flag Rubber seal degradation over time, Polycarbonate stress cracking under mechanical impact, Mold or bacterial growth in seal cavity and Optical degradation (fogging, scratching) on the GoPro and not on the B+W.
- The B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces where the GoPro is Polycarbonate, rubber seals, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
- We are less certain about the GoPro grade, at 42% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
