Amazing watch, December 30, 2010
This review is from: Tissot Men's T005.517.17.057.00 Quadrato Chronograph Watch (Watch)
First things first, sorry for my bad english, not my native language.
This watch is trully amazing. It's a big & heavy watch, so it feels great on your wrist.
I got a lot of great comments for the watch, and every time i ride a bus or the subway i get all the looks.
The only downside i could see is that i need it to reduce the arm band of the watch so i had to cut it with a scissor (prior of that i search online and that was the correct approach), so if in the future someone with a bigger wrist wants to use it, he has to buy a new arm band. Besides for that small thing, the watch is beautifull and i can't get my eyes from it. Saludos.

Great watch for the price, December 6, 2010

I'm really happy with this watch. The square shape makes it different to the classic round watches, I have received really great comments from my friends about this time piece.

Great watch for the Price, April 15, 2011

I love Tissot watches coz I think they are the best quality, sub-$1000, swiss watch you can lay your hands on. I am surprised that it doesnt have a good market in the USA. So if you are one of those guys who have a penchant for fine swiss watches but cannot afford those Rolexes or Panerais and Bvlgaris atleast for the time being :), then check-out the Tissot collection on Amazon. You might find one to your liking and for keeps.
Regarding the quadrato, I absolutely adore this watch. With a 40mm square dial, the watch does sit big on a medium size wrist. But it has a classy, timeless appeal and is an instant head turner for sure. The black dial with the yellow chronograph hands looks very similar to the PRC200 and is very attractive. The silver tone numbers and hour markers gives the watch a bold look. The rubber strap makes it very sporty. I dont think its a good watch to go with a suit or formal wear, but it can go well with casual, semiformal and everyday office attire.
I have a few other swiss watches in my collection (An Omega Seamaster Professional Chrono, Tag Heuer F1 Chrono and a Tissot PRC 200 chrono), so as you can see, my taste has always been towards round dial chronographs. So when my wife wanted to buy me a new watch of my choice on my birthday I thought long and hard whether to go for a square dial . But I think I have made a very good choice by investing in the Quadrato.
The only downside to this timepiece is that its basically a "One-man's-watch". What I mean is that the only way to size the rubber strap is by cutting it. So once you size the watch, you will need to get a new strap for someone with a bigger wrist.
Overall a great Sporty Swiss chronograph at a great price!
