My first good watch was a titanium Breitling purchased in the 1990's, and I've added others since. In many ways titanium is a superior material, other than cost. I really appreciate the lightness, especially with bracelets, and it is so obvious when switching between similar size watches where one is steel, and the other titanium. Still, I enjoy both and appreciate the contrast.
