Could it be that Apple has improved the scratch resistance of the natural Ti after launch? Recently less reports on this here. Maybe it was a problem on the first batch only?
I doubt it. It was most likely because of the hype around/after the launch.
I agree. In my opinion it has to do with the combination of new product and unrealistic desire for perfection. We see similar things with the launch of every iPhone. Much less drama in the stainless steel thread.

I’ve been on the Apple Watch forum for approximately three years and pretty much involved in every type of discussion, I’ve never seen anyone trying to keep the Apple Watch ‘perfect’. But for what Apple charges $800 plus for a smart watch, consumers have expectations, can you really blame them for wanting to keep the device in excellent condition as much as possible? (Rhetorical).

I'm sure everyone is riveted enough by this story.. but after sitting on my return box of my Titanium S5 I just couldn't send it back. I love the SBTi that much to pay $300 more. Have to treat yourself in life right! lolI need a blog..
no, I decided today to keep the SBTi versus the SBSS so I went to initiate a return on amazon.com to return the Space Black Stainless Steel model and they require a chat session or phone call to confirm that you wipe/restore to factory the watch before giving you a return label.
During the chat I was offered $100 to keep the SSSB and I took it. SBTi is already in the fedex box to go back to Apple but i'm 100% sold on the finish for a Series 6.

SSSB is gorgeous but it's just more of the same.
I know the feeling. I originally bought the SS S5 and returned it for the natural Titanium. So glad I did.I'm sure everyone is riveted enough by this story.. but after sitting on my return box of my Titanium S5 I just couldn't send it back. I love the SBTi that much to pay $300 more.

If you look again in direct light it will very much be present. This is the problem I had when trying for a Ti - under the Apple store lights it was perfect, when caught by direct sunlight/lighting then the scratches out of the box where there.squeaky wheel?
Funny thing though....I was sitting in church and the sun was shining through the window and I caught a scratch on my watch. I thought "damn a scratch", then "oh well it would happen eventually".
But now its gone! I wipe down my phone/iPad/watch with a microfiber cloth once in a while, must of buffed it out or something.

The SBSS is stunning but not new - I’ve had it for a couple of generations so when the SBTi came out I knew I wanted the change.
It's a company Lenovo machine buddy.What computer is that in the background, my friend?
100% agreed. I tend to go SBSS but the S5 just felt the same as my S4 and S3 thus, wanted a change. I then couldn't decide between the normal Ti and SBTi but couldn't get a regular Ti scratch free out of the box (I tried 5 times) thus this made my mind up for me. I then went with SBTi and it is simply stunning especially when the light catches it. It's presence is understated but stealthy - go with the dark grey (black) leather loop:Having read all 57 pages over the last few days, I'm now (almost) sold on the SB Titanium watch.
This watch just screams to me begging me to purchase it. LOL.

Be sure to post plenty of pics once you’re a proud owner!Thanks for sharing this pic. I'd get it configured exactly like yours, though I'll certainly purchase few extra bands to spice it up given my mood.

I just did the same thing.
I have a Nike AW3 and bought my girlfriend a Nike AW5 and saw a big difference. I ordered the SBTi with the sport loop and then canceled that and ordered the SBTi with the leather loop figuring I have plenty of sport loop bands already (and an old leather band from my AW0). Shipping time is 1-2 weeks.
