Hence, specific warranty periods have no legal standing in the EU.

Given, however, that hairline bezel cracks are purely cosmetic defects which have no effect whatsoever on the functionality of the product, it's doubtful that such a consideration would apply in this specific case.
It is three years even for things that are expected to last much more than three years.

But that is irrelevant for things bought in the US.
