As someone that owns all three...
The titanium is definitely prone to surface scratches...I have a DSOTM, similar in weight to the ti....I bought the DSOTM as a dress watch...also have a PO Chrono in steel. Bottom line?...don’t love titanium because of the surface scratches...love the ceramic as a dress watch...but would not purchase it as a diver for fear of shattering (unless they have improved the technology) so for a tool watch definitely steel.

Ceramic is beautiful however if it chips or cracks the case is done. They both have advantages and disadvantages.
Many variations within these categories with different properties
There is no simple answer to this question because there are important variations with each material that affect the outcome. For steel, the type of steel (316L, 904L, A223, etc.) and, more significantly, the surface finish will have a big impact on the r...
