Titanium vs. Stainless Steel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right material is almost as important as picking the right watch for your wrist.  It affects not only the price of the watch but the overall experience of wearing it.  That rings particularly true in the argument of titanium versus steel.  Stainless steel is more durable and not as prone to scratches as titanium.  Scratches on titanium watches are also much more noticeable than on steel because titanium is coated in a layer of oxide formed by the reaction of titanium to oxygen.  Scratches penetrate this layer and, as a result, are much more noticeable.  However, it is relatively easy to buff out those scratches if you need to.  Stainless steel, on the other hand, is the heavier of the two metals and can significantly affect comfort when choosing between the two if weight is an important factor for you.  Titanium isn\u2019t as cold against the wrist as steel, bringing us back to overall comfort.  Aesthetically, stainless steel is shinier than titanium, which appears more matte or satin. Titanium is also more expensive to produce than steel, which often commands a higher premium on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
