U1 Steel type
Does anyone actually know what kind of metal U1 watches use?
It's pretty obvious that U1s aren't using 904L or 316L steel. The bracelets feel cheap and flimsy, and they'll often leave a metallic smell on my wrist if I sweat with one, which points to 304. Unlike 316 and 904, 304 has no molybdenum, so it doesn't resist chloride pitting nearly as well. Sweat is basically diluted salt water, so it eats into the surface and releases metal ions. The nickel content in 304 probably adds to the odor too.
So my guess is that it's using 304 anyone else have a guess?
