Tissot PRS200 is one of the best selling watches from the legendry watchmaker. The build quality and appeal of the product speaks for itself. This watch has got everything what an ideal quality watch should have. It has:

1. Sapphire glass
2. 200M/660FT water resistant
3. Chronograph
4. Rotating bezel dial.

The quality of the chain is A Grade and when gets dirty can be washed with warm water and soft detergent. The shine remains same for years. I have tried Tag Heur, Fossil, and DKNY but honestly I find this best. Nobody in the Swiss industry can beat the value for product, which only Tissot can give.

This is a great buy as you can always compare the features with a lot expensive watches. Moreover, Tissot is any day better than brands like Swatch, Esprit, and Fossil. The company which has been in watch making business since 1853 cannot be wrong or just average, it has to be cut above the rest and that what exactly Tissot is, and it is proved by the quality of PRS200.

This is a great watch, I had the past model for 28 years and used it everyday. Swimming, scuba diving, nmountainbike riding, 28 years on my arm. A month ago it finally gave up and I asked for the exact model equivalent to the one I had, I was refered to this one, so I bought it and I'm expecting to use it for other 28 years.

I've had this watch for nearly 4 years now and it has been very reliable and has remained water resistant for all this time. I highly recomend this watch but I also recomend that you select your watch in person.

I received a PRS 200 for a gift about two years ago. The crystal is great and has taken more abuse than a watch of this price should sustain. Needless to say, no scratches. The heft puts a smile on my face every morning when I put it on. I had an occasion to ding a chronograph button from very rough treatment - my dealer took VERY good care of me and Tissot squared everything away at no cost. I can't say enough about these watches. I plan on getting another Tissot soon, this time in gold finish. Forget Breitlings, and get a real timepiece for at least 1/4 the price.

I bought this watch ten years ago. I wear it 15 hours a day- every day. It literally still looks new! Has some fine surface scratches on stainless face and band but you have to look close to see them. Once a year I change the battery (most any decent jewelry store), and a couple of times had to get a new pin to attach the band to case. Ten years and that's it!
- I have been a restaurant manager all of these years. My watch takes about as much abuse as you're ever going to give a watch. I bang this watch hard (on a daily basis) on just about any surface possible including steel, concrete, rock, glass, etc. There is not a single scratch on the sapphire crystal.
- The only time I have ever had to reset the time is when the battery is dying. Otherwise it matches the clock on my cell phone exactly.
- I'm constantly washing my hands at work. I swim with watch on, etc. No issues with watertight.
- Trying to think of more praise! Oh yeah, it looks great, solid feel, etc. Pix online don't do it justice. I couldn't decide between black face and "Sapphire Blue." Finally got the blue one which has some kind of finish to the dial face (ceramic?) that makes it pearlescent in light- very cool! Now that I noticed it online in black for $274 I'm seriously contemplating getting that too!
- Do yourself a favor and don't buy any more "disposable" $50-200 watches without a sapphire crystal. They may keep working for years but they look like crap in 6 months (if you wear your watch in an "abusive" environment).
- Tip from jeweler- once a week spray it with windex and wash it off. Makes stainless sparkle and gets rid of grime.
- Conclusion- just about the best $400 I can remember spending on any product!

As for build quality, this watch is solid and has enough weight to make it feel substantial. The sapphire crystal allows me to be much more care-free than I would be with a lesser-quality crystal typical of other watches in this price range.

Looks-wise, this watch is slick, and it stands out whether I use it casually or to a dressier occasion. The band's design is such that it catches and reflects light in a pleasing pattern. In times of watch faces being so oversized, this `regular' sized face still looks great and will stand the test of time.

Tissot is always a solid choice for watches. This one, though it rests towards the lower end of Tissot's price range, is a great value and a testament to Tissot's quality.

I got this watch as a gift from my wife.her brother bought it in Switzerland when he was there on buisness.I very seldom ever take it off. been snorkeling,diving,etc for years this watch has never leaked.I love the way it feels, just the right weight.I have gotten countless complimets over the years on how well it looks.It has taken a beating over the years,it has alot of tiny scratches on the band and face but the crystal is still perfect.Im planning to buy another one for casual and dress and keep this one for work. it still works great.I found if you turn off the second hand(top button) the battery lasts much longer. I would recomend this watch to anyone.I love it....

This watch is just what I was looking for. It looks as perfect dressed up in a button down shirt as it does with dressed down in a t-shirt and jeans. I love it!

Have had this watch for the past 4 years, it's still beautiful and fits the perfect role of an everyday watch that isn't so fancy you're scared of wearing it but not so cheap looking you feel like a 10 year old. I agree with the other reviewer in that you should go see all watches in person, especially since there are many different styles within just this prs-200 model, I myself have a white face with blue circles.

Be careful with this watch. It is absolutely beautiful, and you can't beat the price. However, the high chrome finish is VERY easy to scratch so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a watch for heavy work. Office worker style watch. Cubicle friendly. Nice for a night out too. Well constructed and heavy on the wrist.
