If you are hesitating to get a new Apple Watchyou may have seen different prices between their versions, and we are not just talking about the size, or whether they have LTE or not, but also about the manufacturing material.
And we have 2 very different models (at least in terms of manufacturing material): on the one hand, aluminum, which is cheaper and the one that sells the most, and on the other hand, titanium, which actually costs us much more. And many people wonder the reason and the real differences.
Titanium or aluminum, which Apple Watch to choose?
The titanium Apple Watch stands out for being a more elegant and resistant version, designed for those looking for a durable watch with a more premium finish. Unlike the aluminum model, titanium is a stronger and lighter material, better able to withstand shocks and the passage of time without losing its appearance. In addition, it uses a sapphire glass screen, much more difficult to scratch than the Ion-X glass of the basic model. Therefore, we would not only talk about aesthetics, but also durability.
Over time, the titanium takes on a light color that gives it character, that elegant touch that appears with use and makes it different without becoming marked. Its finish is more polished, more sober, and looks good with any strap, from a sporty one to a more formal metallic one. The aluminum one, on the other hand, has a more casual air: it is light, comfortable and practical, but also easier to scratch and with a somewhat less exclusive appearance.
Otherwise, there are no real differences. They both have the same chip, the same battery, and the same health or activity features, so what changes is the feel and durability. In the end, the choice depends on taste and pocket: titanium is for those who want something more solid and with presence, a watch that lasts for years and continues to look good; aluminum, for those who prefer to spend less and have the same experience without complications.
In short, if you are looking for functionality, stick with aluminum. However, if you can afford it, want something more elegant, and that lasts longer, titanium is ideal, although it is clear that the price difference is high, and unless there is a specific offer, or if we have extra money, it is not the best choice in terms of quality and price.
By choosing it you we recommend using AppleCare+since repairs, in case of a problem with the strap, casing, etc., are more expensive, and if you have something premium, at least have it protected.
And you, are you one of those who prefers to pay the minimum if it is going to have the same functions, or do you think that an Apple product is not only internal, but also aesthetics and quality? Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you would ever pay for a more expensive model just for its material, be it an Apple Watch, an iPhone or another product.
