I have a question about brushed titanium durability on a daily-driver watch. Does it need any maintenance? Show fingerprints? Scratch easily?

My only experience with titanium is my 15-year-old polished wedding band, that I had custom-made by an aircraft parts machinist out of an aerospace-grade titanium billet. It shows fingerprints, but still has a mirror finish and has never been re-polished since it left the machinist's shop. I don't imagine that commercial-grade titanium wears as nicely, and have no experience with brushed finishes.

Just curious about how it wears while I debate splurging for a new daily driver.....

I have got titanium watches , one is Corum Leap Second which bought back in 2008 .It's said that titanium is more scratch resistant to stainless steel but I still spot some streaks when I inspect the watch closely.Do these bother me at all ? Not at all
My other titanium watch is Rado Captain Cook , it also does have polished and brushed areas on the case , it seems polished areas hold very well but that watch is not that as old as Corum

Exactly, have had my titanium Seiko tacho for 4 years and don't worry about it.

I have a titanium IWC and it seems to wear pretty well. I am pretty easy on it but mostly is shows a little wear from my bracelet that I wear with it.

They will scratch and show scratches more easily than most SS watches.

But they are light and typically wear well on the wrist.

This has been my observation as well
