Graphite SS vs Natural Ti

[noobinator]

I'm completely torn on these two. I have the Natural Ti AW5 and absolutely loved it. I feel like it looks 10x better in person than in any pictures I've seen. The best part about it is that it was so easy to match bands with. My worry with the graphite is not as many bands will bands will match the graphite. But then again the graphite sure is sharp looking and offers something new over what I wore for the last year with my natural Ti.

I have both with a sport loop reserved and just not sure which I'm going to go with.

Anyone else in the same boat or already was and made a decision?

I had the exact same consideration like yours. I ended up with keeping the S5 titanium because it can match every color of band
The graphite has kinda grey reflection, only some colors can go well with that.

I am sitting here debating the exact same thing. Coming from a Silver SS for my past 3 watches, I'm loving the Standard Ti finish, very classy. The Graphite is new, sexy, modern... Maybe too block-like? I dunno. I'm not too concerned about bands. I honestly feel like 95% of bands will look good on either. The difference in weight is having a mostly psychological effect on me as well. The SS seems heavier to me now.

I ordered the Space Black Ti which I'm definitely returning, very boring in comparison to these in my opinion. So I've narrowed it down to the Regular Ti and Graphite... But I'm agonizing over it.

Will somebody help us make up our minds already? lol

So far I’m leaning toward Ti:

1. I’ve had it and know I loved it
2. The bands do all match it pretty well in person
3. Extra sport loop included helps make up the $100 higher price tag in addition to (next)
4. Extra 2nd year standard warranty included
5. Power brick still included

Go with the regular titanium version you can match it with pretty much anything.

I ordered Graphite, but after more pics came out, and I saw how light it was, I ordered regular titanium, and I’m gonna return the Graphite. I only wanted a shiny finish if it was going to blend the case with the crystal, like space black does. Since it doesn’t, I prefer the brushed metal with a natural finish.

I decided to check out graphite and picked one up at the apple store today. To be honest, not really my cup of tea. I'll be returning the graphite model and I will wait for my SBTi to be delivered.

Graphite looks too glossy for me and the shine will go away with time

What makes you think that? None of my Space Black DLC watches stopped being shiny, and my first one was worn daily for three years (first by me, then my dad who I passed it on to).

I have the black ti 5 and like it and ordered the same version of the 6 that will be here on the 29. I saw yesterday am my Apple store had the graphite so I decided to pick it up. I like the color of the graphite and band much better the the TiSB And it’s gray band. It looks classier but not too bling like the gold and SS. Since the features from 5 to 6 are underwhelming and the fact I upgrade every year I figured I’d try something different as I’m already bored of the black ti. As far as the $100 more for the Ti that’s a moot point as you get an extra band, warranty, power supply etc. the trade in and resale value for the ti is really bad. I think these edition models are better if you plan on keeping it 2 or more years. In all honestly the al would be wiser for me but I prefer the premium materials as I’m a watch enthusiast. Black ceramic would be nice but again paying 1400 for a watch I’ll wear for a year makes no sense.

Tbh I'm more bothered about what the watch can do than what it looks like
