I have a S0 SS. It has held up so well for me. I have pretty much destroyed everything from clothing to bikes and skis my entire life. I just picked up an aluminum S3 for my wife. It looks great. For her I expect it will last indefinitely. If I felt confident I could do the same with the aluminum S3, I would buy one immediately. The premium of the SS is hard to justify. But there's also me in the equation. I haven't decided yet. So far the performance, in all ways, of the S3 is hard to resist. And for one who loves to pursue activities without a phone, the LTE version is a no brainer. I am so torn here. Nothing about this choice -- nothing -- has to do with appearance for me.
Got a tip for us?

I skipped page 2, but maybe I outta go back? I enjoyed 1 and 2.
Would Sapphire be better for a clutz whom hasn't worn a "heavy" watch...ever remain scratch free if the user bangs into walls whilst walking out doorways? Because the Ion-X has 6 dings in 10 days.

I like the weight. Go look at them at a store and pick the one you like best. No need to spend the extra money if it isn’t worth it for you personally
i remember getting the stainless steel, and i returned it.
1. it is cheaper
2. i usually put a wrap around it so you cannot even tell if is stainless steel or aluminium.
but i must admit without the wrap....the sapphire glass stainless steel does look premium but tbh no one can tell literally....
