What are the advantages of getting a titanium s5 over a Nike Watch?

to me it seems double the price for no more features. Is it really worth it?
 
Some will see the beautiful brushed Titanium finish and sapphire glass as an advantage but besides those 2 things it’s pretty much the same. It has one special color California face but the Nike version has several extra faces that I wish were included on other versions!

Is the glass better? I just cleaned my moms series 4 stainless and the glass doesn’t have a scratch on it. I’m afraid the Nike will scratch. Is the titanium have the good glass?

please any help.
 
For one the Ti doesn't have the exclusive Nike face. Physically, the Ti sits midway between Al (matte and light) and SS (glossy and heavy) and has a gorgeous brushed finish. Oh yeah and then there's the glass - Ti has a sapphire display that's slightly more scratch proof.

The stainless has a sapphire display, which is very scratch resistant (The titanium shares the sapphire display). The Ion-X Glass is comparable to the iPhone display, it’s not nearly as durable as the sapphire display.

Buy the casing and display material best suited to your proclivities.

I gave up the Nike faces after switching to SBSS with my S4 and haven’t missed them one bit.
