I bought this Tissot to fill a need for a “classic” dress watch lacking in my collection. It certainly fits the bill according to my definition: it’s small, thin, has a black strap, simple dial, Roman numerals. Overall, very elegant and unassuming. Like another reviewer has stated, the styling is somewhat reminescent of the iconic Patek Philippe Calavatra, a $20,000+ watch. The watch is so far extremely accurate (it is dead on after a week, determined by setting the watch and referring back to http://www.time.gov). The case looks nicely finished. The packaging is very impressive: thick heavy box, hidden compartments, couple of small Tissot books.
A few complaints… The second-hand is noticably out of alignment with the indices on the dial; an annoying “defect” that is unfortunately common with quartz watches. I also don’t like the plasticky look and feel of the faux crocodile strap. I’ve owned genuine croc straps before, so I know how they look and feel. The strap is also a little too thick and beefy for such a thin low profile watch. Also, the buckle has the “TISSOT” logo printed on it, which makes it look cheap. It would be more elegant if the logo was embossed. I wound up removing the logo with a Q-tip dipped in acetone (i.e. nail polish remover); wipes right off. Nonetheless, I replaced the cheap strap with a thin, black genuine lizard skin strap ($30) with no stitching. The watch now looks even more classy and elegant and is more comfortable to wear as well.
Nonetheless, I still recommend this watch despite these shortcomings. It is a relatively good value for a Swiss-made dress watch. A poor-man’s Patek.
i really love this watch. it seems perfect to me. the only concern i have is if it makes noise.. ive had some cheap quartz watches and most of them tick like crazy. i cant stand that. could you let me know if this one ticks? and makes noise? would really apreciate it
