I second Nicolas' opinion ....
For me, personally, ceramic elements on a tool watch, or sports watch that is subjected to increased stress, is a no-go. Like sapphire crystal, ceramics is very hard, but also more brittle and will have a much higher probability to break when receiving a hard blow. I just saw a new Omega Ploprof with a broken sapphire bezel ring, after its owner had hit a rock under water. Metal will have a dent or a nick, but will not break. However, if you are - like myself - purely a desktop diver, with no intention to do some rough sports, or Mission Impossible-style gymnastics, ceramic can play out its real bonus, that of being practically scratch-proof.

I have not had an UN with ceramics
but I can tell you that the titanium elements on the band scratch very very easily. It does not bother me much since they then fade rapidly again but just so you know! Best Andreas
Ceramic, for sure
Go for ceramic, titanium will scratch easily. finally it will depend on aesthetics so please try on both if possible...
