First time buying Apple Watch , based on y'all professional experiences , which model should I get for less scratch, or scratch proof . Titanium , Stainless Steel or Alumium .
Thank you
 
To avoid scratches on the glass, just avoid aluminum. Both Steel and Titanium have sapphire glass. As for the actual case, Graphite Stainless Steel (with DLC coating) is typically the most resistant to scratches. Haven’t had a Titanium one so I don’t know how far behind they are.

The case of the stainless steel gets pretty scratched very quickly.

Depends on how long you want to keep it.
Forever go Titanium.
3-4 years go stainless steel.
less than 3 years Aluminum and replace.... hardly any scratches at all on a new watch.
 
I have an aluminum S4 that I wear during all types of activities and at arm’s length you can’t see any scratches. I’m not exactly gentle as I have broken 3rd party bands due to rough handling but the watch has held up fine. One advantage of the aluminum and titanium models is lighter weight.
