Wearing this one right now. I love how light the titanium is and how durable it's been so far. I personally prefer smaller links like a jubilee style bracelet as it contours the wrist a bit better and increases comfort but I haven't seen anything like that in titanium. This is still super comfortable none the less and this whole setup is only like 104 grams or something. It'd probably be 170 or so on stainless.

I am wearing a Citizen Eco-Drive Ti watch right now and I love it. I love how light weight it is and there is something "cool" to me about having Ti on my arm. I used to be really into bicycles and always wanted a Ti bike, but never had one. So, Ti watches are my go-to now. I have a Ti G-shock (but I think it is just the back of the watch since it is mostly plastic. I also have a Ti Seiko quartz watch that I got really cheaply a few years ago. Doesn't quite fit my wrist as it was bought 2nd hand and no extra links were provided.
Back in the late 80s (when I was riding my bikes all over) I got a Timex Titanium watch and I loved it! I lost it doing something stupid, but I've since bought one just like it just to have. 80s watches were tiny!!
Ti watches and bracelets are awesome.
I love my steinhart ocean one titanium. I bought it five years ago and honestly it held me off on buying new watches until this year.
It's light and durable. It scratches easier than steel but I wear that watch almost everyday and I use it like the tool it is.
I love to. Got a chunky diver that would be way too heavy for me otherwise, along with a field watch on a bracelet and a chrono on a bracelet. That light weight feeling is just the best, imo. I know some people claim ti is more scratch prone, but the styles of those watches are such that scratches on them don't bother me.
Is there anything specific you're looking to find out?
yeah im looking into Certina. Went to a local dealer that has em and tried their DS action divers in stainless steel and loved them but then my eye caught the titanium ds2 turning bezel and I loved how it felt but im not so sure it sat nicely on my wrist visually.
I found this thread from google because I'm planning on buying a Citizen bm8560-53e tomorrow. It'd be my first watch after a decade old Gshock and a first gen galaxy watch.
I'm glad I've been hearing nothing but great things about all aspects of it.
