Which scratches more easily and more visibly? Stainless steel gold or stainless steel silver?

[bonjourx]

I can’t decide between the two if I purchase the Apple Watch series 6. I have a SS gold series 5 and so far it’s not showing any scratches. However, I am quite opting for the SS silver this time and I’ve never had one before, so I’m just wondering between the two which one scratches more easily and more visibly? Also for a woman would stainless steel silver be good also? I’ve never seen any women posting a SS silver in the forum so I’m wondering if it would look alright? Thank you!

Definitely more visible on a stainless steel silver. But I prefer silver it's easier for the silver case to combine with any band color.

The plain SS shows scratches very easily as it doesn't have a coating on it.

But you shouldn't forget that SS silver is the only option to get scratches out of the watch with polishing it like a shiny brand new watch. You can't do that with coated SS. So somehow it is the most secure option. You have scratches you don't want to see, you polish it. People got their totally scratched old SS AW to shine again with almost no work and no cost.

Thank you for all the responses! Is there any women in the forum that has a stainless steel that they can post? I’ve never seen one and I’m thinking of getting it this time because I kinda am not liking the new gold ss.
