Large, heavy man's man watch. Gets plenty of looks and the bracelet is just beautiful. Keeps excellent time as most quartz movements do. I use it as an everyday casual watch and have banged it numerous times, the sapphire crystal remains scratchless. Thought about buying another or collecting all three colors.
This watch could be improved if the night illuminators didn't take so long to charge. Also it lacks a perpetual calendar but the date is easy to change and only has to be done once every two months.
Try this before spending $2000 - $5000 on breitling, tag, omega |

I bought this watch for me as a birthday present.
I really like the Tissot brand, because the finishing in their products, looks, and precision.
The watch feels very nice in the wrist, a bit heavy (which for me is a very nice thing, because it gives you the sensation that you have something nicely built on you) and the way it fits after taking out as many as needed links.
i am a watch lover (cannot say a collectionist right now because i do not own enough yet) but two months ago i had no watches because i just gave away my two ones. After that a very good friend who knows my like for watches gave me one, then my mother gave me one and now i was able to buy this one for me, but in a nut shell this is my best timepiece so far (i have owned many watches from different brands and styles)
great construction, even better looks, highly affordable price, cannot say enough.
it is better and more elegant in person than in the pics
if you are looking for a robust yet elegant and sporty watch, with high quality construction, look no further, BUY IT |
Really like this Watch, but how about an Automatic version

REALLY love this watch, big face, easy to read because of the placement of the numbers and the luminous hands. I can glance at it and know what the time is.
So, great watch...I really wish there was an automatic version chronograph version, with EXACTLY the same face. The Le Locle comes kind of close ( I own one of those but that does not have luminous hands and does not have the numerals, so it can be difficult to read at a glance).
The PRC200 is by far my favorite quartz watch. |
Great watch for the price

| I bought this watch while I was in Dubai from a Tissot Dealer in the Emirates Mall and have had it for about 2.5 years now. I work overseas and this watch has seen a lot of abuse during that time however it still looks great. It needs to be cleaned thoroughly and the battery died a few weeks ago but up until that time it always got plenty of compliments. This is my first Tissot watch and I cant put into words how pleased I am with the purchase. I do have to say though the illuminators do not stay charged long so night time use in a dark environment is difficult and the calendar has to be reset if you dont get it exactly set right, but all in all its a great piece. I highly recommend this watch. |

I found this watch attractive looking online and it looks better once I got it than the online pictures and youtube videos show of it. So far it is as accurate and precise as my Seiko Kinetic Quartz Dive watch; which is excellent considering it has not lost any time this week verified by the WWV Boulder Colorado Time number 303-499-7111 which gives the time on the phone. [...]
I wear my Tissot all the time (inexpensive thermo compensation.) The Tachometer scale is small; but I can read it to find my ground speed (flying) or speed when driving a motor vehicle. The Swiss movement is G10.211 which is in a number of other watches. The date window is small; but I can read it. To set the time and date was easy; easier than doing so with my Seiko's (kinetic quartz & automatic dive.) The wrist bracelet is sturdy. It has shiny stainless steel (surgical grade) used in the watch. The watch does not seem too large to me. It is larger than my Seiko dive watches though. This watch also is rated as water resistant to 200 meters if one keeps it maintained with regular servicing the seals, sealant, cleaning, check ups when doing the battery replacement which requires the water resistance testing too.) The second hand will skip when the battery is getting near replacement time. The timing functions are easy to use, split time and regular timing. I would have liked a longer time frame than the half hour that it records; but of course using the timing functions uses up a lot more of the battery energy I read. So perhaps that is why it is only timing up to thirty minutes on one of the small dials. I like the sapphire crystal too; where as my Seiko has fused Sapphire to a special Barium quartz to make it less brittle. With this watch the movement is usually replaced whole if needed as it is relatively inexpensive with lots of plastic parts which I read the Seiko is also. I feel happy with this watch purchase. I have been able to read the watch in the dark; off and on depending on when the dial was last charged with light. |
