I bought this and the non-titanium version. I reviewed the other one on its page and basically said that it looked and felt cheap.  I would say that this watch has a better feel, including the body of the watch.  I still feel that this watch is overpriced by at least $150.  Ultimately I returned it for the MTG-900 which at $89 had all of the basic features I wanted like solar and atomic.  I can live without an altimeter or compass; as fun as these sounded, in real use, they aren't accurate enough to replace the real thing if I was going into a situation where I needed them. I'd end up carrying a gps and compass with me anyway.
