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.

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.

I love my Tissot T-Touch watches. I quickly became so addicted to my black sporty looking T-Touch that I had to get a more dressy T-Touch in titanium. Now I have a T-Touch for every occasion I think. The pluses are many: Unbelievably reliable in every respect including the technically challenging barometer function. On my yacht I have a classic brass barometer and a "predicting" electronic barometer, PLUS access to the local official barometric pressure via Internet, and the T-touch is always the most reliable barometric instrument onboard. I have managed to adjust the brass and electronic barometer to the readings on the T-Touch and they now remain close to the official metro-services data. What more can you ask for?
Well, actually LARGER digital display and a back-lighting function. Being an "early adopter" I have missed out on these features that come with the latest models at no extra cost! Make sure you get the one with back-lighting and bigger display and you will never want another time peace in your life! I had no "issues" with my two T-Touch watches including a very respectable battery duration. If you can afford one - GET ONE! If you can afford a more exclusive and more expensive watch than a T-Touch - SAVE SOME MONEY! Or get two as well...

This is no ordinary watch, it's really a toy for grown-ups that happens to tell the time! This was given as a gift, the band was easy to adjust to a perfect fit and the watch comes with very complete directions. It arrived when it was supoosed to and there were no surprises.

I love this gizmo, and I never get tired of using the compass and altimeter. It really is fun! That being said, I had to get it replaced (through the generous warranty) no less than THREE times the first year I owned it. Right away, the first one I had just went wonky, with the touchable face erratic and often unresponsive. The next one had a button on the side break off within a couple of months, and then the repair job came back with the time-keeping mechanisms working incorrectly. I like all the features, but it has to keep time too! Okay, taking all that into consideration, the last replacement has been with me for a year and a half now with no problems. I love this gizmo, but when this one croaks I probably won't spend $700 on another one.

I purchased this SS T-Touch with Rubber Strap right before it was available in the US. I have only changed the battery once. The only complaint is that the strap was not available in larger size.

A cool watch that does just about everything that you can imagine it do with the touch of your finger.

You have to see it to believe it...
