Customer Reviews

Don't bother - get a Casio instead
The advantages of this watch: "gee wow" touch screen, heavy construction, sapphire, staus and prestige of the brand name.

The disadvantages:
* the digital display is often obscured by the analogue hands.
* the digital display is rudimentary - poor format for date, digits only.
* no countdown timer.


The competition:
If you really want a watch that does all the things routinely expected of a digital watch plus temperature, altitude and compass, look at Casio and Suunto. They have several models that do it all, with a clearer, more easily read display plus extra features like recording temperature and altitude. And they are cheaper.

In summary, the Tissot is for status, but if you want a tool that will do the job, get a Casio or Suunto.

I have had the Tissot for about 2 weeks. I will sell it and go back to my 15 year old Casio Alti-Thermo.

The most balanced men's watch
If you are looking for a watch combining style, beauty, comfort, swiss-made, quality and rich functionality, the Tissot T-touch is your best choice. Many watches of higher price offer no more than two or three of those characteristics. But the most impressive of the T-touch is the technology behind: all the functionality simply at the touch of your finger and presented both in analogic and digital way! For some of my friends it looks like magic...

I have many fine watches in my collection, but once I started to use the T-touch, by far, it became my favorite.

I have only some suggestions for future versions:

- Backlight.
- Second city date and time.
- A more intelligent algorithm to correct the effect of body temperature in the thermometer.

Nice Watch
I received this watch about four months ago. I still love it. Yes, as the previous review says, the altimeter needs to be calibrated constantly to get an accurate reading and the thermometer is only accurate when not wearing the watch (it's still handy though), but all the other functions work great. I find the compass most useful (and fun). The alarm and chronometer (stopwatch) work as advertised. The meteo takes some getting used to. I haven't found it very useful yet, but I'm still working it out and haven't given up on it yet.

Also, it's a great looking watch that I just enjoy wearing. Overall, this is the best watch I've ever owned - by far.
