Apple Watch Series 5 - stainless steel vs titanium

I am excited that Apple is introducing titanium material for Apple Watch Series 5. Upon looking closer at the specs for both the titanium model and the stainless steel model on Apple’s website, to my surprise, they both weigh the same (44 mm at 47.8 g)! It’s a known fact that titanium is much lighter than stainless steel. Does anyone know why this is the case?

Since the volunteers here do not have any inside information, nor do we have our hands on each model and can take them apart and weight them, you will have to take this up with Apple

They will not reply, but it does get read.


Or use the "Contact Support" link at the top of this page. Although in truth I do not think there is going to be any information beyond what has been published until such a time as someone does take apart each model and weighs them for themselves. Just my opinion.

Thanks Bob, I went back to Apple’s website and looked at the same specs again. It has been changed to reflect the difference in weight! I guess either they saw this post or they act on the feedback that you told me to send.

As Apple does not monitor these forums, it is highly unlikely they got the information from this thread. Your feedback on the other hand does have a possibility, or any number of other sources could have pointed out the error of their ways 😀
