 Tissot Touch broke after 2 1/2 years Oct 23, 2008
By Goro
"Goro"
Great watch but for a list price of $900 you would expect it to last for more then 2 1/2 years. The whole multi function including display just stopped working one day. And I have been treating it like a precious baby, no diving, no swimming, not even bringing it to the beach. Believing it was only a battery replacement I sent it off to Tissot, but NO. Tissot have quoted me a cost of repair (replacement of: multi function/movement exchange) for $400!!!! 6 months after warranty expiry.

 The best watch I ever bought Oct 30, 2006
By Dewgunner
Firstly, I am not a watch connoiseur. Far from it, I have been known to wear cheap, durable watches from Casio or even Timex if need served it. Neither makes bad watches. However, with the new T-Touch Tissot has certainly outdone itself. It is every man's secret wish toy, and it's stylish to boot.
So why should anyone consider plunking down money on this extravagant piece? Where do I begin?:
Firstly, it has an extremely ergonomic design, with nice clean lines and a finely polished Titanium exterior.
It is sturdy to the point of fault, resisting more wear and tear than you'd think possible. It was, after all, designed with the idea of outdoor use in mind.
But the most impressive feature of this watch is, of course, the touch screen that allows a myriad of functions with the simple pulse and touch of your finger. You can navigate through an alarm function, a compass, barometer and even altimeter with the greatest of ease and functionality.
In short, the design of this watch straddles extreme functionality and beautiful design with the greatest of ease, making this watch covetible and useful by both people who wish to make a bold statement about their style as well as people who want a watch that is functional with additional bells and whistles but won't die at the slightest tap. This is the perfect watch for any man.

 excellent product, fast delivery Mar 29, 2007

I bought the Tissot T-Touch from Amazon merchant Kenmar Watches. The watch arrived in Ireland from the US in 3 days which was very impressive. Tissot's presentation box is very nice and the watch also came with an additional 150th anniversary book on the history of Tissot. Well appreciated by a hard core watch collector like myself. I must confess that I currently have a Zenith Rainbow, an Omega SeaMaster, a Seiko Kinetic, a Citizen AquaLand and Mares Nemo in a collection which is tipped heavily in favour of dive watches. The chunky titanium styling of the T-Touch is in keeping with the rest of my horological wardrobe and is much appreciated. As is the light weight of my Titanium version. The overall finishing is excellent with a sapphire crystal of genuine quality , a comfortable and elegant bracelet and the polished titanium case. As quartz goes this is extremely accurate and is currently only 2 seconds slow since I got it a month ago. The carbon fibre dial is well finished and is a nice touch. The lumed markers are thin but clearly visible at night.
The advanced features such as compass, barometer, thermometer and altimeter are all accurate within reasonable tolerances. However, the thermometer is affected by body temperature (as expected) and the altimeter calculates based on atmospheric pressure so it must be calibrated prior to use from a known altitude. With correct calibration it works fine. I'm not sure I'll use the features all that much but they are functional and this watch is not a toy. The only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars is the annoying lack of electroluminescent lighting for the LCD display which render the features useless at night. Water resistance of only 30 metres is less than ideal but hey, it's not like I lack a watch I can wear while snorkeling. If you need a backlight get the solid titanium protrek from Japan. Otherwise get the Tissot, it's very stylish.

beware Dec 23, 2008
By Megan E. Boze
Please consider the following before purchasing. I purchased this watch from Watchgrabber on Amazon, and after 4 months the watch began having significant problems. For example, the digital display stopped working, the hands no longer responded to the touch function, and after a few days stopped altogether. Now perhaps I should have realized, but there is NO Warranty if you purchase this online (usually). Therefore, there is a definite possibility that you'll have an issue with your watch and not have it covered. I have been quoted at 210.00$ for repair...Awesome. Hopefully, my watch was just a lemon and the product is normally high quality. Nevertheless, I recommend getting some sort of warranty on this, before buying. Good luck.

If you want a good watch for 2 years.... Oct 14, 2009
By Dogswood
I bought this watch 2.5 years ago on Amazon for around $500. Watch looks great and worked very well for the first 2.5 years. Died last month. Took it in for a battery change. First surprise - not a simple $10-20 job. Estimates to change battery ranged from $40-$150!!. Some watch places refused to do it. Luckily, I took it to a reputable place who refused to charge me anything when they discovered that the watch would not run on a new battery.
I happened to be in a city with a Tissot service center (found out watch is made by Swatch). They told me that water got inside and that it would need both a movement and crystal replacement at a cost of $350. I thought the watch was waterproof to 100ft so I had swum and taken showers with it. They said it was only water resistant to 100ft. Apparently this means that you might be able to wash your hands with it on. I might note that this is not pointed out in any of the literature you get with the watch.
So, if you can afford a new watch every couple of years and don`t mind taking the watch off when you get near water, this watch is for you. Otherwise, look for either watches marked water resistant to 300ft (100 metres) or waterproof.
