At -180=B0C, a few minutes maximum... then you froze and if you

well now, Moon suits must have been designed to work in -200 F
degrees,
with probably some margin Just In Case, are these really going to be
useless
on Titan?

While it gets that cold in the shade on the Moon, the vast majority of
the moonwalkers time was spent in the sunlight, at closer to +250
degrees.

The suits were white to reflect most of the radiation, and the
internals included a "liquid cooled garment" to remove excess heat from
the astronauts.
Suits designed for Titan would need heat generators.
