I haven't used the Clip+ but there's a huge thread out there on Head-fi you might want to go through. It's titled 'Sansa Clip Zip or Clip+?'. Personally, I love the slightly bigger color display of the Clip Zip. The nice little addition of the song art showing up is something I love. As far as sound quality is concerned I guess both are at par with one another and both can be Rockboxed if you want to. I'm running the stock FW and TBH I like the warm sound that this neat little thing dishes out.
my respect for Titan dwindled after using a 7k Octane(A big purchase for me then) .The links on the metal strap kept coming apart within its first year and due to this the watch fell a couple of times causing lots of blemishes and scratches on the crystal as well as the body, but Titan refused warranty claims, the watch continued to fall consistently throughout its used life due to link pin breakage causing extensive cosmetic damage. (Due to this i vowed never to buy a Titan again) ,by second year the chrono and the seconds needle stopped working and titan service technician failed to fix this, the final straw- the master-pin connecting to the strap and body broke but the Titan technician at 3 different places couldn't remove the broken pin and asked for 5.65k complete body assembly replacement!!!unbelievable!!

Nah.....I think I paid approx 16k 3 years back when it came out, That time the MRP was 17995. It's available on flip kart for 19k.

Is that ur car or bike # ?
My experince with Titan had been absolutely amazing, Had a Titan Chronograph Watch bought in Year 2000 it went kaput in 2007 the service centre guys were not able to repair it due to old model they did not have the machine in stock, U will be shocked now as I was.
They issued me a credit note for 5.7k and said I can buy any watch from their store.
Bought this.
Recently with this automatic watc, One day removed it from the box and when I tried to pull the key a part inside broke... went to the service centre they said (note the watch was out of warranty) the repair cost will be approx 6.5k left the watch there. Couple of days later they called me and said the watch has been repaired can come and pick it....went and asked them how much to pay they said the part was changed free of cost u need to pay only the service charge. SAVED 6 GRANDS.

Getting a 5.7k credit note for a 7 year old out of warranty watch is strange and anyone would be extremely delighted as usual warranty is 1 year.
Well I have a Titan Orion since 2008/9 and it has not failed on me so far despite being my regular workhorse. Though it only required strap change twice being a leather strap (once in 2010 and second this month along with a battery replacement). Also instead of walking to a normal Titan dealer try going to the Helios Store they have excellent CC.

These day most watches comes with 2 year standard warranty. Also all the major online store provide 1 year extended warranty which I think is good.

^Yeah but getting a credit note on 7 year old watch is something I have never been luck at
Yeah thats y i said that my experience with Titan was amazing never ever thought that any company will give u even 10% of the original cost after 7 years here they gave me approx 60% of what i paid for it, Actually i think the reason was i was adamant that i want it to be repaired simple (The SS in-charge i do remember his name Yash) was ery helpful he said he will get it repaired or else u will not be disappointed with the out come, Thats what the outcome was
Finally added a Pelikan to the Collection.
