Light enough to forget it's there

Titanium's the move if you wear your watch all day and hate feeling it. This 42 mm Khaki Field Auto weighs a fraction of the steel version, and on a fabric strap you basically won't notice it. I would wear this on a job site no problem. Light, tough, 100 m, sapphire up top.
11.6 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, black dial with the date, H-10 automatic, 80 hours. All solid.
Two complaints. Titanium scratches easier than people expect. It doesn't shine like steel so the scratches don't show as bad, but it gets a dull scuffed look over time. And $895 to $995 is about $200 more than the steel automatic. You're paying that for the weight savings, basically. If you hate heavy watches, it's worth it. If you don't care, buy steel.
