Apple Watch Series 12 returns ceramic casing option alongside titanium
Apple has reintroduced a ceramic Apple Watch case for the Series 12 model while continuing to offer titanium versions.
Material strength differences explained
Ceramic is harder than titanium, yet titanium remains the stronger material overall. Titanium models include ceramic components within their construction despite being made primarily of metal.
Availability history and current stock
Apple stopped manufacturing a primarily ceramic casing after the Series 5 generation several years ago. The new Series 12 brings back the option in Pearl White and Midnight Blue colors.
Scratch resistance trade-offs noted
Buyers who dislike scratch buildup will find ceramic better for maintaining a glossy surface. Titanium is preferred by users seeking long-lasting durability over scratch resistance.
