| Tissot Men's T-Touch Titanium Watch |
| Tissot brings its tradition of technological innovation to the T-Touch titanium men's analog/digital watch, which offers eight separate functions that are easily accessible via the watch's touch screen. In addition to precise, Swiss-manufactured timing features, the T-Touch also offers an altimeter, compass, thermometer, and barometer for tracking meteorological trends. The different functions are listed around the edge of the dial--just press that area of the dial to activate it. The watch case and bracelet are made from solid titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies. The digital chronograph enables you to time events up to 10 hours, displaying results to 1/10th of a second, and it offers standard start/stop functionality as well as a split (intermediate) function. The large round silver stainless steel watch case measures 40mm (1.6 inches) wide and is topped by a rounded, bidirectional rotating bezel with engraved directional markings. It has a blue dial face with large, luminous white hands. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (100 feet). About Tissot
For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years. A member of the Swatch Group since 1985, Tissot watches are available in over 140 countries around the world. Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratchproof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers). The company's timepieces have also been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. |

This is a fantastic watch. I've had mine for three or four years and it looks to me like they are still the same watch. But for 2 reasons I give four instead of five stars:
1)If the light is just a bit on the dark side it is difficult to see the LED read out and there is no watch light. If there was a light with this watch it would truly be a marvel.
Second defect: I don't know if Tissot improved on this but do not put this watch in water. They say it is good to 30 meters but it was BS in my experience. I put it one foot in a hot tub and it went bonkers. It took Tissot months and months to fix it. Thinking it was OK to put in water after it was repaired I briefly put it water again and it went kaput a second time. Tissot again took several months to fix it once more. |
I bought this watch as the result of a serious search for the perfect aviation watch. It really disappointed me. First of all it has a cheap and tinny look more appropriate for a $75 WalMart watch. It is NOT a $500 watch. It is very light, but I like heavier feel says quality to me. The watch can be tricked into giving dual (Zulu) time, but this means that the watch hands are crooked when in compass mode, thermometer and meteo mode. There is no documentation for how to get it to show Zulu time on the digital display. It took me 20 minutes to finagle it and I am dreading the next daylight savings time change because I have already forgotten how I did it.
You cannot enter the altimeter setting directly. This is not mentioned in any of the marketing materials. In order to set the altimeter to current conditions you have to know your altitude!!!!! Can you believe that???? Ridiculous... The barometric pressure is reported in hectopascals, not inches of mercury, which means that this should be marketed only in Europe, not North America. I had read on the internet that it would express inches of mercury too, but that is wrong. The date setting only is expressed as day/month, not month/day. Good for Eurocentric Swiss engineers, confusing for North Americans.
The compass is inaccurate. Without moving the watch, the compass varies by 10 degrees or so, busily and mindlessly buzzing the crooked hands back and forth with a mind of its own.
The chrono is good enough for me, but people who like split times need a different watch. I do like the alarm.
If you want a serious watch that does everything this T-Touch should do, buy a Suunto observer. |
| this was a gift for my husband for his birthday, he really loved it, it looks elegant, and very classy ...i recommend it. |
| The box it arrived in weighed slightly over two pounds, but hardly any of they weight was the watch itself. It comes with more manuals than a scanning electron microscope--that is the weight. The watch itself is very light for its size and was my greatest first impression of the watch. The solid titanium attributes to its light weight. The manual is not quite as intuitive as one may like, but once you make sense of the pictographic instructions, setting the time, date or even magnetic variance of the compass is as easy as pie. For being a large-frame watch, it has the style you'd expect from Tissot and the blue face really brings that out. Great watch, great buy. |
Ergonomics, design, functionality and elegance. This watch has them all. It is expensive, but it is also tough, practical and fashion friendly in one nice package.
The compass, temperature and altimeter features all come in handy on hiking trips but I bought this watch because it is as close to indestructible as a guy with an active lifestyle can get in this price range. |
