T-Touch Problems
I am a gadget guy and was given this watch as a gift. I was very happy with it for the first year, but ran into major repair issues after 13 months. I also have heard from other owners that this is not uncommon. The repair for my watch is $240 and not covered under warranty because it does not have signature from an authorized dealer on it (even though I do have a warranty card). There are other reviews on Amazon (under other T-Touch models) that list similar problems/experiences. Because of the problems and expected reliability, I am not even going to have this watch repaired...it's just not worth it.

To add insult to injury, the repairs cannot be completed by the authorized repair shops. None of them work on the T-Touch and thus everything has to be factory repaired, which takes 6-8 weeks.

The problem is that all of the cool technology in the watch comes at a price - reliability. The T-Touch is not as sturdy as its more conventional peers.

I would not recommend buying this watch or any T-Touch model...buy with caution.

Swiss Quality without extreme prices
I bought this watch in the US Virgin Islands, and the prices are better on Amazon ! This is a quality watch in every function, touch and user interaction. The bezel turns smoothly, and the compass markings are actually useful with the watch compass function. The tactile interface functions smoothly and all functions work well. The temperature is influenced however by your body heat, and the altimeter needs re-setting every so often. I imagine they are linked but don't really know. I like the way you can choose the digital display to provide date or one of the other functions depending on your activity.

The watch looks better than the pictures show, and the size seems just right. It is heavy and tall off your wrist, so if that is not your preference choose one with a titanium or rubber or leather band. I own over a dozen watches, many heavier or more elegant or larger, but this one always travels with me. The barometer does a nice job of predicting the weather too !

Almost Great
This is one awesome watch, no two ways about it. Tissot did a great job with this one, so there are no complaints on the Tissot side of things but I do have a complain on the Amazon.com purchase side of thigs.

Clearly, Amazon.com offered this terrific watch at a great price. And the watch arrived in a timely fashion. My first impression, as I opened the shipping box and viewed the Tissot box was "oh no!" The box was broken on one of the corners and the manuals that were included were clearly used and old. So I was almost afraid to open the box to see the watch. Once I did, the watch had a plastic film all over it, giving me the impression that the watch is perhaps new, but not the Tissot box and manuals. After removing the plastic coverings and having a very close look, the watch did appear to be new, but there's really no way to tell. In terms of the various functions the watch offers, they have been working without fault.

In the end, I suppose I don't really care about the Tissot box and the manual. Heck, I downloaded the manual as a PDF from Tissot even before I got the watch. I would like to believe that I actually received a new watch, but the fact of the matter is that although it looks new, and functions perfectly, I'll never know for sure. I think that this is something that Amazon.com should address so that the buyer knows for certain what the deal is.
