If steel watches feel heavy to you, the Festina Titanium models are the first we would show you: titanium case, quartz movement, 10 ATM water resistance and a sporty men's design. As an official Festina dealer we deliver with the manufacturer's warranty, and our own watch service will size the titanium bracelet to your wrist.
Why is a titanium case good?
Titanium is much lighter than steel, so it is comfortable all day long, and it does not rust. It is a skin-friendly metal, and many of our nickel-sensitive customers wear it without any trouble. Its surface is matt and a greyer tone than polished steel – less showy, with more of a sporty, technical feel.
What to look for when buying a titanium watch
- Scratching: titanium is softer than you might think, and fine scratches show up over time – that is a sign of use, not a defect.
- Weight: if you have worn a heavy watch until now, it will feel unusually light at first.
- Bracelet adjustment: leave replacing titanium links to a service; our own watch service does it too.
The Festina Titanium models are all sporty men's watches, uniformly 10 ATM, so you do not need to take them off for swimming or showering.
Titanium or Ceramic?
Titanium is about lightness, while the Festina Ceramic is about scratch resistance. If you are drawn to both, the weight and case size on the product page will help you decide. You will find the brand's other series on the Festina page.
Titanium Festina watches – what people ask
What makes a titanium watch better than steel?
A titanium watch is lighter, does not corrode and is skin-friendly, so it is comfortable all day. In return its surface picks up fine scratches sooner.
Is a titanium watch harder to maintain?
No, you can treat it just like a steel watch: wipe it with a soft cloth and leave battery changes to a service. Fine scratches are natural on it and do not signal a fault.
Can I wear a titanium watch if I am nickel-sensitive?
Titanium is a skin-friendly metal, so we often recommend it to people with nickel sensitivity. If you are very sensitive, choose a model whose bracelet is titanium too.
Can a titanium metal bracelet be shortened?
Yes, the metal bracelet of the Festina Titanium can be shortened by removing links. It is best left to a professional service, and our own watch service does this as well.
