It will still scratch and will more scratch easily then titanium, as its a naturally weaker element. It's mainly an aesthetic preference though as both are incredibly resistant to scratches regardless.

Apple Store Belfast is calling the Graphite Titanium I think
Well that's going to completely confuse people.
What are they calling the actual Titanium version then?
I’ve made the right choice! I chose the Graphit SS and it looks much more exciting than the Titanium black color. It looks dull. Just my opinion.Forbes as a good picture. IMO I really like it from the picture!

Typically some stainless Steel does have DLC, specifically the Graphite model so it won't scratch that easily. Nonetheless it will depending on what materials but it won't scratch easily. This is because Graphite model does have the DLC coating, just as the Space Black Titanium.I just have a feeling Stainless Steel with be prone to scratches too easily![]()
Can anyone confirm whether or not the Series 6 in Space Black Titanium has the DLC? I spoke to Apple support and they sent me this:
Apple Watch Series 6 - Technical Specifications - Apple Support
support.apple.com
On Apple's website it says the Graphite Stainless Steel has the DLC, but there is no mention of it for the Space Black Titanium. Does anyone thing they actually got rid of it? Why would they do that?

I’d go for the Graphite. The Titanium looks boring.Just got my SS Graphite, not sure if I’m going to keep it.

Also recommending get natural
titanium instead of black.
I can attest as my first two Apple watches were aluminum and took some wear, but my sssb aw5 held up excellent. But I did have one problem. Within the first two weeks it took a mild scratch across the screen with my wife diamond ring lol. It’s like the only thing that can scratch it and it happened on accident. But I did not have any micro abrasions I had from the aluminum screens on the SS. It’s def worth the extra money. Excited to get my aw6 SS graphite so I don’t have to see the scratch anymore, albeit it’s not really noticeable but I know it’s there.Love it.
My aluminum S2 ended up dinged within a couple months and I had to stare at it for months
My aluminum S3 cellular ended up dinged within a couple months and I had to stare at it for months
My SBSS S4 remained mint for the whole year
My SBSS S5 is also still mint after nearly a year.
Since I really do like cellular, the price difference from aluminum to SBSS hasn't been too painful when considered against the subjective value to me of not needing to be as careful and not having to stare at a ding for the rest of the time I had the watch.
YMMV.

At any distance further than a foot, that Titanium looks like a Space Grey aluminium.
