Amazon.com Product Description
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 black dial face with large, luminous white hands. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (99 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.

Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).

The company has been involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR.

Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B. Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden. Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch producer and distributor.

Customer Reviews

Tissot T-Touch Titanium
This is a good-looking watch and even more functional one. I love the Thermo and Altimiter - I can play the whole day with them, checking the temperature in LA or how high I am above the sea level. Good toy for big boys. It looks great and is the only Titanium T-touch/multi-touch watch out there. My favorites are Hamiltons with the same functions, just because of looks, but Tissot has a Swiss Name behind it.

Tissot T-Touch Titanum
Great watch. Looks good. Feels good on. Quality has been excellent, so far. I only have two complaints, one minor and one moderate. Minor: When you touch the face to change functions you get fingerprints all on the crystal. Moderate: It has no backlight--makes it tough to impossible to read in the dark.

Under-rated watch, future collectible
I bought my Tissot T Touch nearly three years ago -- basically, when the watches first hit the market.

This watch is a great piece of engineering, despite the fact that most of its underlying guts are no more glamorous than a $50 Swatch (who, ironically, owns Tissot). For all its quirks, I love this watch. It's comfortable and properly styled, looking sharper than watches costing 10x its cost. This thing is a daily driver that needs little or no care or maintenance. I'd gladly pay $700 again for this watch, and should anything happen to my beloved Tissot, I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Can't say that about most quartz watches.

The touch-screen crystal is really cool -- no doubt about it. The features it surfaces (referred to as complications to horologists) are novel but limited.

The alarm and compass work as desired, and they're really the only two "complications" that matter beyond telling time. Everything else is just a gimmick: the thermometer gives the temperature of your wrist instead of the ambient air. The barometer can tell you if there are clouds above your head (turns out that it's faster to simply look up). The altimeter needs constant calibration, but otherwise works as advertised.

Normally, I'd say it's nuts to recommend spending more than $50 for a watch with quartz movement. But in this case, if you can swallow the nerdstyle premium without a care, this is a GREAT watch.
