Titanium is lighter but more expensive, looks more sporty

SS, is common, cheaper and shiny

 

don't see an advantage between each, titanium is supposed to be stronger material, but I have no idea what titanium grade the Chinese use.

My titanium from Getat is superb, love the look, wear it often.

 

My SS pams barely get worn, but I MUCH prefer their weight.

 

That's about all I can say about the two

I've got a few Japanese titanium watches. It's slightly softer than steel but it's way lighter. It scratches more easily but they all merge giving watches a more dull grey look. It does not stain or react with sweat. I'm a bit of a fan of the material and I've got lots of stuff like glasses and rings. Stainless steel stays shinier longer. You can polish titanium easily but it dulls up soon.

I always wanted a TI watch until I got one. Love the light weight on the wrist but hated how easy it was to ding up. I always go with stainless over ti.

As above, I love the look but I verge between liking the lack of weight and wishing for the weight of a SS version lol

Neither one is 'better'. It's down to personal preference.

I have a titanium gen. It's ultra light but I think SS looks better, more polished and not so grey.
