WatchOS 6 Beta Suggests New Series 5 Watches in Titanium and Ceramic

Nice scoop from iHelpBR. Marco Arment’s take:

Two fantastic watch materials. Titanium in watches can be made to look like steel but slightly darker and much lighter-weight, and the previous white-ceramic Editions were really cool.

Agreed. Watch-grade titanium is a very different beast than the titanium in the original PowerBook G4 models. The fact that it’s much lighter should make haptics better than in the stainless steel models.
