Non Warranty - Proceed with Caution, August 11, 2010
This review is from: Tissot Men's T0134204720200 T-Touch Expert III Watch (Watch)
Please be advised that this watch will not be covered by warranty from Tissot. I purchased this timepiece from Amazon and 45 days later the center button stopped functioning. I returned the watch to Tissot with my receipt from Amazon and they refused to provide service under warranty. They informed me that Amazon is not an authorized dealer and subsequently it cost me $184 to service the watch. Any further repairs will also not be considered as under warranty.

Awesome Watch!, October 25, 2010
This review is from: Tissot Men's T0134204720200 T-Touch Expert III Watch (Watch)
Tissot 1st popped up on my radar due to their involvement with motorcycle racing. After researching the brand, I bought my 1st Tissot about 3 yrs ago (the V8, still running strong). I love that watch for it's styling and quality.
Shortly after buying that watch, I learned about the T-touch. I will admit that I have liked this watch for many yrs before purchasing the T-Touch Expert III, so I may be a little bias.
This watch combines a masculine stylish watch with a ton of features that will bring the boy out in us all. The Titanium finish is beautiful and lightweight (only watch I have lighter is the Luminox 8802). The band is more comfortable than expected and easy to size.
Features
This is my humble opinion on all the features I have figured out/ used so far.
The Touch crystal is very cool. Mine has worked flawless for about 6 months so far.
The Compass worked well in a recent trip to Germany. I was concerned about going through an x-ray machine, thinking that may mess with the compass calibration, it did not. Works well, before and after the trip.
The Alarm works well, wakes me up every time.
The Barometer is pretty cool, simple and easy to use. One side-clear day, the other side- possible rain. Seems pretty accurate so far.
The Thermotermer seems to be spot on, of course your wrist will through off, but when off your wrist seems very accurate.
The Altimeter is interesting to use when hiking or driving to see how much your altitude varies.
Awesome watch- whether you are a watch nerd, outdoors men, tech geek, or looking for a rugged looking dress watch (titanium band if you want it to look dressy.
Amazon direct purchase does warranty the watch through Amazon, not directly through Tissot.

Great Watch - Some thoughts on the band, March 29, 2011
This review is from: Tissot Men's T0134204720200 T-Touch Expert III Watch (Watch)
Great experience with Amazon and so far with the watch (have owned a week so far). Wanted to highlight a few things for potential buyers:
1) Watch Size - This watch is rather large and about 30%-40% thicker than say an Ironman. For those with smaller wrists, this may be an issue and given the size it makes titanium a must, in my opinion. Once on your wrist, the size becomes much less noticible than you would think from holding it in your hand, so really not a big deal. I really think the silicone band weighs more than the watch though.
2) Band Sizing - Ordered with the black rubber/silicone watch band, which I think looks great. In order to size the band, you are making a permanent decision because it involves cutting it with scissors. I made the mistake of cutting it exactly to size and now am worried I didn't leave enough wiggle room for if my wrist gets slightly bigger in the summer. What I noticed afterwards is that you should cut the band one length too long and then there are three connection options on the clasp (side with the top of the clasp) that you can use to tighten or loosen in size increments up to one section length. If you cut too small, there is no way to fix it. Looks like replacement straps are available through online dealers for about $90 without the clasp (not cheap, but not the end of the world).
3) Expert vs. Previous Version - expert is about 30% larger than the original, but has two major advantages - a backlight on the digital readout and is actually waterproof. If you are already going to spend over $525 on a watch, might as well spend another $70 to get these functions.
Amazon was great and everything else was as advertised. Mine did come with the correct instruction book where others stated included manual was for older version. Also, althought not covered by manufacturers warranty, Amazon does provide a 2 year warranty on this watch. I think the price differential makes it more than worth the risk. Enjoy.
