Amazon.com Product Description

Tissot brings its tradition of technological innovation to the T-Touch stainless steel men's analog/digital watch, which offers eight separate functions that are easily accessible via the watch's touch screen. In addition to precise, Swiss-manufactured timing features, the T-Touch also offers an altimeter, compass, thermometer, and barometer for tracking meteorological trends. The different functions are listed around the edge of the dial--just press that area of the dial to activate it.

The digital chronograph enables you to time events up to 10 hours, displaying results to 1/10th of a second, and it offers standard start/stop functionality as well as a split (intermediate) function. The large round silver stainless steel watch case measures 43mm (1.7 inches) wide and is topped by a rounded, bidirectional rotating bezel with engraved directional markings. It has a black dial face with large, luminous white hands. Other features include a black rubber strap, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet).

About Tissot
For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years. A member of the Swatch Group since 1985, Tissot watches are available in over 140 countries around the world.

Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratchproof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers). The company's timepieces have also been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey.

This is a very comfortable watch with a synthetic band and a good closing clasp.

The best part are the touch pads on the crystal. Temp, Altitude, Barometer, Compass are all quality functions. I have worn this watch in the ocean and the pool with no problems.

I like this watch alot, high quality and comfort.

I purchased the Titanium T-Touch Tissot a couple of years ago @ FineBrandWatches through Amazon. Batteries have short life and after two years of careful use, the hands felt off!!! Not worth it.

This review is from: Tissot Men's T33159851 Black T-Touch Rubber Strap Watch (Watch)

I received this watch as a present a little less than four years ago and I have loved it since. The band is easily adjustable and quite comfortable, and the watch itself is not as heavy or thick as one would expect; in fact it's quite compact. It's not garishly flashy and gigantic, but that's something I love about this watch. The functions are amazing. The the most used function on my watch is the Meteo function, which is essentially a barometer and a weather predictor. The hands indicate (based on temperature and barometric data) what the weather will be like in eight hours. Although not Doppler radar, it does usually tend to predict whether or not it will rain. I use the compass when I travel, and the compass has helped me navigate the streets of Singapore and Paris. The glass, after all these years, is truly scratch proof, as there is not a single scratch or blemish.
Even though I love this watch, I realize not that it's not meant to be worn 24/7. I only changed the battery once when I was in London just because there was a Swatch store, but the battery life seems average to above average. The numbers and letters around the bezel are painted on, and will fall off over time. Getting sand into the bezel will cause damage and may clog up the bezel. The bezel will scratch much more easily than the glass, and after a year of use looked unfortunately cheap and worn. Other owners have complained about the buttons falling off, but mine have stayed on so far. I have had a problem with the hands, and right now my hour hand is permanently stuck on 7. The digital clock works fine though, so I still wear it.
I have no idea what Swatch does when they service the watch, but it's very expensive. Just getting a routine service after warranty cost (for me at least) $350. With the hour hand stuck, I was told it would probably be around $450. Basically, it's near the cost of buying a new T-Touch. If you invest in this watch, you'll want to take care of it quite nicely, and take note of when the warranty expires.
I like this watch, and will probably grudgingly save up for a servicing/repair. If I have to buy it, so be it. This is one watch I can't live without.
