Tissot T-Touch Titanium, December 9, 2004
This is a good-looking watch and even more functional one. I love the Thermo and Altimiter - I can play the whole day with them, checking the temperature in LA or how high I am above the sea level. Good toy for big boys. It looks great and is the only Titanium T-touch/multi-touch watch out there. My favorites are Hamiltons with the same functions, just because of looks, but Tissot has a Swiss Name behind it.

Tissot T-Touch Titanum, March 29, 2005
Great watch. Looks good. Feels good on. Quality has been excellent, so far. I only have two complaints, one minor and one moderate. Minor: When you touch the face to change functions you get fingerprints all on the crystal. Moderate: It has no backlight--makes it tough to impossible to read in the dark.

Under-rated watch, future collectible, September 11, 2005
I bought my Tissot T Touch nearly three years ago -- basically, when the watches first hit the market.
This watch is a great piece of engineering, despite the fact that most of its underlying guts are no more glamorous than a $50 Swatch (who, ironically, owns Tissot). For all its quirks, I love this watch. It's comfortable and properly styled, looking sharper than watches costing 10x its cost. This thing is a daily driver that needs little or no care or maintenance. I'd gladly pay $700 again for this watch, and should anything happen to my beloved Tissot, I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Can't say that about most quartz watches.
The touch-screen crystal is really cool -- no doubt about it. The features it surfaces (referred to as complications to horologists) are novel but limited.
The alarm and compass work as desired, and they're really the only two "complications" that matter beyond telling time. Everything else is just a gimmick: the thermometer gives the temperature of your wrist instead of the ambient air. The barometer can tell you if there are clouds above your head (turns out that it's faster to simply look up). The altimeter needs constant calibration, but otherwise works as advertised.
Normally, I'd say it's nuts to recommend spending more than $50 for a watch with quartz movement. But in this case, if you can swallow the nerdstyle premium without a care, this is a GREAT watch.
