Titanium Natural vs Stainless Steel Silver

[hmorneau]

Just a an update on my S7 natural Titanium….it has held up better than expected…..no scratches that I see using the naked eye. My S5 stainless had hundreds of scratches but buffed out easily before selling.
I also have a scratch free S6 SBti. The natural titanium has become my favorite of all Apple Watch models.
Will get the S8 in natural titanium again if available and if upgrades are significant.

Same here, I got a scratch on day 1, and since then, nothing. Still look very nice, my stainless had way more stratch by that point.

I will stick with Titanium in the future, but I have no plan on replacing mine soon. It does everything that I need. I have AC+ so if anything ever happen I will just get a replacement. My battery health is down to 95%, waiting for 80% (well 79%) to get a brand new replacement.

Next time I’d definitely go titanium , had a seiko kinetic titanium years ago , so light felt like wearing nothing

My ss weighs a ton in comparison

So in case anyone is interested, I spent about 20-30 minutes polishing my S7 Natural Ti using a CapeCod cleaning cloth followed by a Blitz® "Sterling Silver Care" polishing cloth, and it looks amazing.

I had been using a pen eraser to remove scuff marks (just one or two since I got the watch last year) and then I used the pen eraser to clean up my stainless steel link bracelet as well (it's seven years old, now!) and today after polishing the watch, I gave the bracelet a once-over with the Blitz cloth, as well ... They both look fantastic. I definitely prefer the polished look to the default brushed finish, but maybe that's just because I've only worn stainless steel Apple Watches since 2015. I had a long time to get use to the look. lol

Wow, that does not look like a titanium any more.

That's true. But I really like the polished look ... I like it much more than the brushed finish.

Brushed finish and weight was my reason to go with titanium. Wish iphones also came in titanium for the same reasons.

Well, the brushed part is easy enough - a few passes with a graphite eraser or a Scotch-Brite scouring pad will do the trick.

I wanted the reduced weight of titanium with the shine of stainless steel, though. And I finally got it! 🎉
