please no more titantium phones / watches though. Stainless is a much harder much more appropriate material. Tired of scratches, but "O M G ITS TITANIUM"
My take: We're talking a few grams difference on a phone/watch. If it were a laptop, it might actually make a difference, but they don't get beat around like a watch or phone does.
Titanium is basically as hard as al dente pasta, topping out around 40 HRC... which some composite plastics can approach. Meanwwhile even your crappy outdated stainless formulations from the 1940s can easily reach 60 HRC.
According to chatgpt, an apple watch weigh 61grams in hipster-loathing titanium. If you were to use stainless on that, it'd increase it by... 30grams. At it could be hardened to absurd levels (60+), to the point were scratching would only be possible by silica bearing materials like hard hard rock.
