Ceramic Watch Cases and Bezels Explained

Common mistakes to avoid

• Testing hardness or impact resistance yourself.
• Calling ceramic indestructible.
• Assuming a ceramic-coloured coating is solid ceramic.

If information is missing or contradictory, pause the purchase or use. A cautious answer based on the exact model is more useful than a confident guess.

A simple decision rule

Choose the option that meets your normal use with the fewest unsupported assumptions. Pay for features you understand and will use. For water exposure, repairs, battery replacement, pressure testing or movement problems, follow the manufacturer and use a qualified service professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ceramic scratch?
