How scratch resistant is MARQ Driver and its DLC bracelet?

I just got a MARQ Aviator six days ago and got disappointed with how easily it can be scratched, quite honestly - I am shocked! Unlike MARQ Driver that has diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated titanium plus a DLC-coated titanium case, the Aviator and the rest of the Garmin luxury timepieces are more prone to get scratched without DLC coating.

Can anyone owning MARQ Driver (DLC coated) share his experience with the watch in terms of getting scratches? I bet any watch can get them, but hope the Driver is more durable and less prone to get scratched due to DLC coating. Thank you!

At this time, more than a year of wear, you can't see any scratch on my Driver.

It depends on the precautions and your activity with your watch.

I'm taking many care of it.

Hi, I can also confirm that my Driver DLC bracelet as well as the watch shows nearly no sign of usage/scratches. I wear the watch between 4 and 6 days in a week.

Little scratches and oxidation is just a trait of titanium I'd think of it as a patina. They can be polished out quite easily.
