I have the IWC 389001 ceramic chrono. In the last 3.5 years I have knocked it into many door handles and metal hand rails. The marks left on the watch are not scratches on the ceramic. They are metal removed from the object by the watch. The ceramic material is seriously resilient to wear and tear. Of course there is the concern of dropping it on a tiled surface, which of course could result in a disaster. That is why it is on a delpoyant and I always put it on and off over carpet or wooden floors if possible. However I suspect it would survive most drops better than steel.

The best bit is it is remarkably stealthy. Almost no one suspects I am wearing an expensive timepiece, except me. I love this thing and it is almost my beater, being my daily wear > 5 days a week.
