Most people are familiar with the benefits of ceramic. It’s highly scratch-resistant, lightweight on the wrist, and offers a look that metal simply can’t replicate. That said, these advantages often raise questions for our clients. Namely, how significant the drawbacks really are. More specifically: how shatter-prone are ceramic watches, and are they suitable for daily wear?
Unlike steel, ceramic can chip and shatter, there’s no question about that. Steel will dent to absorb an impact, ceramic won’t. Though, in real-world daily wear, the risk is minimal. We’ve sold many ceramic watches over the years and have yet to see a single instance of one of our clients shattering their watch through normal use. Although, we have seen one bracelet crack from a drop.
