Re: Titanium

In Response To: Titanium ()

Hi Simon,

I don't own the titanium watch, but some thoughts that others emailed me when I asked the same question about a month ago were:
1) Titanium is much harder to remove scratches from, especially deep ones.
2) If the titanium ever gets stained by any strong chemicals, it is apparently almost impossible to remove them.
3) The titanium stays much closer to body temperature. I don't know why this would be important, but 3 people made that comment to me!
4) Several people also told me that you have to be a little careful that the titanium doesn't fuse itself together making it impossible to open the case for repair. I could find no actual instances of this happening, but apparently titanium has a tendency to very tightly bond to itself.
Good luck with your choice! Greg
