The Ion-X Glass has a lower reflectance of ambient light, about half that of Sapphire Crystal. It brighter light, the Sport is brighter and easier to read than the SS (and Edition) lines. Neither are easy to read in bright sunlight compared to my original Pebble. But that was one unattractive watch with an ugly display. I can live with either Watch.
Something I'd like to see in v2 is new crystal technology to reduce reflectance of ambient light which would be a passive way of making the display brighter instead of needing dilithium crystals to power the Watch.
