    So this is the aluminum? Heard the glass is very soft more than past years. Maybe should go stainless steel, think I might. Sapphire glass.

      It is quite soft, my S8 already has many micro scratches. I’ve seen the stainless steel ones that look brand new even after a couple years

          I’ve had the Ultra since January. I’m a mechanic and have knocked it against all sorts of things many times, not a scratch on the glass or the titanium. Actually cannot believe how durable this thing is.

        I went SS 2 years ago for my Series 6 and am completely sold on the sapphire. After 2 years it looks brand new new compared to my old Series 4.

        Huh, so I’m not crazy. Had a Series 5 for a while, and upgraded to S8. Noticed within a few months how scuffed the screen was getting with the only culprits being yard work. Ended up trading it in and getting the Ultra 2 because I was so irritated with how bad the screen looked, especially when compared to my old S5, after just a few months.

        I had one aluminum years ago and as since then only steel with sapphire. I wear my watch 24/7 and have owned about 10 (2 ultras now). All have been preowned and have never had a scratch on the glass. Sorry to see your scratch. Certainly that is heartbreaking.

      I’ve owned the stainless steel S1, S3, S4, S7… not a single one of them ever got a micro scratch on the screen.

      I’ve always used the stainless steel ones and never had issues with scratches. It’s worth it

      Here’s another vote for Stainless Steel. I’ll never go back. The sapphire not only helps screen protection, the screen actually looks better. More grand. Hard to explain but if you see and wear it in person, you’ll understand.
