I bump my watches and am generally hard on watches. Would I be better off with SBSS or SB Ti? I will be using a SB Milanese Loop band as my only band.

Thanks
 
Thought you already purchased (and repeatedly posted about) your stainless steel model? What's changed?

Would it really matter between both of those watches with durability? [They both include the DLC]. So essentially you’re really choosing the casing material that you want between the stainless or titanium. They both should share the same durability due to the DLC coating.

Keep in mind, the space black Milanese loop can/will scratch the watch, as it already includes the DLC.
 
From what I saw with my own eyes at my local flagship store I would say SBSS would be better. The SBTi already had scuffs 3 days after the initial release and was mostly sitting in a drawer. Mind you the SBSS can still scuff without proper care.

Others in this forum reckon the SBTi are very scratch-proof, and went as far as testing to what extend.

If you plan on breaking down walls with your watch on I would suggest you just get a G-shock or something.

Stainless is going to be more wear resistant than Titanium.

However, it is a watch and either will show wear if you bang it up.
 
Just being honest, not everyone can wear a watch. If you have a job where you do a lot of work with your hands or you’re in tight places, your watch can get scratched up. If you sit at a desk like I do, you might find your watch covered in dust by the end of the day lol
