How’s your Titanium Series 10 durability?

[FrankySavvy]

I have had a natural titanium series 10 since launch and have to say it is holding up pretty well. Sapphire screen is flawless and I have only noticed two or three very fine micro scratch next to the Digital Crown and button.

I know the micro scratches are unavoidable
Just curious how others are holding up.

My Titanium Gold Series 10 that I got on launch day is still virtually flawless. I haven't gone over it with a magnifying glass and I don't intend to. If I can't notice any blemishes with my bare eyes then I don't care if they are there or not.

My problem was when I was cleaning it, I noticed a few micro scratches in certain lighting. My OCD always gets the best of me. However I can not see them in normal use.

Virtually flawless. I'm sure if I looked closely I'd see micro scratches but honestly, it comes with the territory of owning a premium material Watch (coming from Steel) so it wouldn't bother me as much as lets say a huge visible scratch would.

I stopped paying attention to watch scratches on my Hermes. It’s only a watch. Over time it will have scratches. My grand H band is rather scratch prone. I take that as a given as well. My life is less stressed. I am also concerned about those who refer to OCD. It has a specific diagnosis and in my opinion should not be casually used unless clinically appropriate.

Oh, I am clinically diagnosed with OCD, hence my posting on this forum about scratches on my apple watch.

That makes sense. Good luck with the watch. Have a great day. BTW, I tend to be hard on watches so I just gave up.

The Series 10 is an awesome watch. I have to learn to let go and just enjoy it. It helps when you come to peace with the fact that even polished titanium Rolex scratches.

Same boat as the others. If you're just looking at it, it looks flawless. If it has the exact right lighting conditions, you can notice some minor imperfections. I have to really contort my wrist and let the light hit it all over to see them. Screen is of course flawless.

Worn every day since launch day: haven't missed a night of sleep tracking and I also have a toddler lol

It's worth noting that the Hermes will scratch easier since the other titanium models have a PVD coating--Hermes is raw titanium.

Mine still looks like new and battery is at 100%. Wish Apple offered a like model today. My series 7 SBTi is still a favorite.
