      @becco981 we had issues with some units having already scratches. Are you sure you scratched it so easily ?

      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos does the S9P Ti has some coating on “ring” near the glass?

        @andré-faria not sure. But in the forum here some people reported some issues right? I am talking about those.

          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos No, no coating on the ring. They left the titanium in its natural color in order to emphasize the material.
          After two weeks my S9PTi is full of scratches on the ring.

            I asked because of the scratches.

            With light it seems like a coating that is getting worn
            53B61263-678A-421B-939B-9C1A1BD0CECE.jpeg

            This watch only has seen house and office life and a couple runs on the canal .
            Very strange, I contacted support on Friday, they will analyze .
            With low light all seems ok:
            1DDA7991-1C23-4E36-84E7-DBDBA8CF9362.jpeg .

            I don’t want to be picky but I am a little concerned regarding long term.
            Also at the time support said to choose titanium in order to avoid scratches, if it is not the case it is a little annoying .
            On the A2/A3p I only had scratch when got s big big fall by bike with the watch on the handlebar
            Even with usage on factories full of metal part/.
            Let’s see, maybe just a deviation on the process…

                @andré-faria Titanium scratches easier than steel. But I don’t know, how easily does the paint scratch on steel. If it’s similar to s9, then I’d say it’s pretty scratch resistant. 2 years of wear and tear - paint scratches barely noticeable.

                    @becco981 but all s9b ti are coated with paint.

                      @dmytro yes. That’s true. And it makes all the difference, to me.

                        @DMytro upon deciding between black one and ti I got this answer.
                        Although I didn’t ask about steel brushed…
                        I am thinking that if this is no coating maybe it was just polished to look shiny (it is not brushed as the rest of the casing ) and so the really small scratches can be normal, but for the two deeper ones I don’t think so…
                        Not super annoyed or something like that, let’s wait for suunto’s feedback

                          Same very small scratches on my new 9 Peak Titanium. The problem is that the more the bezel is shiny, the more is prone to scratch. So, maybe, these scratches could be polished with a car polish as Titanium are softer than steel…

                            Are there more experiences with the titanium edition? This issue really hinders me from buying one, spent 700 Bucks for a watch which is so easy to scratch is not acceptable.

                            Just read the test report from DC Rainmaker. The scratches are also very good to see on the pictures attached to the report.!

                            Example:

                            33C999C5-68D2-4CB5-9A7B-99A0F6900679.jpeg

                              @becco981 I’d also advise against wearing an expensive sports watch while cycling. I know it looks cool in pictures but it’s extremely risky; especially if you use clipples pedals. Not that long ago I was wearing my Suunto 9 on my left wrist and my Garmin Forerunner 945 on the right while riding my bike. Long story short, I had a minor accident and ended up cracking the screen of my 945 when I fell on the ground. Had I fallen the other way, I would have fallen on my Suunto 9. I’d much rather damage a Garmin than a Suunto. I ended up buying the Suunto bike mount and I love it. I’ll probably never wear another GPS watch on my wrist while cycling.

                              Btw I was testing the 945 at the time when I fell. Not sure how the Suunto would have held up (and I don’t want to find out), but I learned very quickly about the poor quality of Garmin devices.

                                @tyresej4 I’m just comparing the strength of the old S9BTi to the weakness of the new one. They’re both made of grade 5 titanium but the S9PTi is going to be damaged too easily.
                                I can accept a scratch if I hit the pedal of my bike or a rock.

                                  @kowi_01 yes! It’s so frustrating! 700€ for a watch that is going to be damaged and scratched just by looking at it.
                                  There is also another thread on this forum regarding the glass. Some models have the glass not perfectly placed inside the case.

                                    Take it easy, faults happen everywhere, specially with the tension on supply it is very easy to have deviations.
                                    No production/quality control is infalible. Lets wait to see what Suunto answers.
                                    Regarding that glass problem, honestly I think it is asking too much, at least from my watch.
                                    Only if I analyze it closely I can see. The watch was made to use not to look at.
                                    Not an excuse for suunto, but we can also pay 700eur for a 945 lte made of plastic without sapphire glass. It will scratch easy also.

                                      This might seem counter-intuitive since, in practical daily use, titanium seems to scratch more easily than stainless steel. However, this is because titanium naturally forms an oxide layer on the surface, which can scratch relatively easily

                                      So most probably you are seeing not just or not scratches but the layer thats why on low light it wont show.

                                      From what I see from my TI version that I dont use often (old prototype) those dont really look like scratches, or lets say , the nail does not feel like a scratch when I pass it over.

                                        Thanks for clarification.Knowing that, seems a risky choice from suunto.
                                        But weightwise, at least, it makes the watch a pleasure to use!

                                          I think it is reasonable. Let’s see how it goes.
                                          I am not super bothered with this, more like concerned about the day I start going more outdoors and time passes by.
                                          But they had testers on it so maybe it is just some deviation on production.
