About Tissot

 |
 |
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.

Great Functionality and Style Marred by My Personal Experience
This is a great looking watch. The bright orange band gets constant attention (mine!) and does not fade. You can get the band in black, but why do that? Even a minimalist will have a hard time throwing away the handsome blue Tissot box that holds the user manual and a 278 page paperback history of the company! The watch rests on a miniature pillow. After some staged reticence and my best 'surelyyoucandobetterthanthat' look I bought this baby for $463 in St. Maarten, N.A. seven months ago. It looks as if I could have gotten a better price at this website (A nickel is in the mail, right?). I really love the compass. Activated by a button at the three o'clock position a magical tap on the crystal swings the minute hand to the northerly direction. This is real easy. Tapping the crystal at other identifed points on the lens will give you today's date, a stopwatch, your elevation, an independently set digital time, the temperature, and a barometric weather trend. Oh, the bezel rotates in both directions.
After just six months I lost almost every function but the time! Why own a watch if it only tells you the time. I can ask strangers for that. I sent my Tissot to the authorized repair center (Always call first to verify their address and procedure!). I included a copy of my original receipt to confirm my warrantee but still got an estimate of $380 to repair it. It seems that all those business meetings, daily showers, occasional bike rides, and a short vacation at the beach had worn out 'my little friend'. I called and got a revised estimate of 'no charge'. This may be a rare failure for a Tissot, but I find myself hesitating before using the functions I paid for. With all the stylish, highly reliable, multi-function watches available in this and much lower price brackets (Casio, Timex, etc), I can only give this three stars.
Surprisingly poor product and service.
My wife gave me this watch for Christmas. We work in the field, in tropical countries; the watch was to be a useful tool.
Within one month following a trip to Central Africa all the functions except time stopped working. I sent it to Tissot. They sent back `repaired' this time it lasted about three weeks. Tissot repaired again. I repeated this seven times in 13 months. The people at Tissot were very short on the telephone and refused to replace my watch with a new one.I was travelling so often I had to send it from outside the US, they promised they would pay the shipping every time I spoke to them and then never included the check with the watch.
After seven repairs they finally sent a replacement watch. All functions stopped working except the actual clock in five weeks. I haven't worn it since and can't afford the time to deal with the incredibly rude people at the service center.
This watch maybe lovely to look at, but make sure you keep it inside the house because it obviously far too complex to perform the functions it is supposed to outside of a home environment.
My husband loves this watch!
This watch is great. My husband loves it! It took some time to set it up and learn about all of it's functions. He wears it everyday and it is an attention getter.
