Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Tissot brings its tradition of technological innovation to the T-Touch titanium 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 watch case is made from solid titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies.

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 (1.69 inches) wide and is topped by a rounded, bidirectional rotating bezel with engraved directional markings. It has a black dial face with large, luminous orange hands. Other features include an orange 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a cool tech watch!, January 21, 2006

I admit it, I'm a watch junkie... I have scores of watches. This new T-touch is my all time favorite. It is light weight, it is high tech yet low key.
The leather band clasps like a metal band so you don't have to fumble every time you put it on. The touch screen is really cool.... just push the crown button once then place your finger on any of six places on the dial and you can view the info instantly. the hands move out of the way for easy viewing of data in the LCD display, and return to their proper place in a few seconds. The compass feature is the best of all, it has to be seen in action!

This watch seems to weigh in at half that of my other tech. watches. I forget I'm wearing it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not reliable..., June 2, 2008

This review is from: Tissot Men's T33759859 T-Touch Titanium Watch (Watch)

I like my watch a lot... the fact that it does not have backlight and hard to read at night and the sync thing (dials vs. digital) I can live with.

The fact that it was broken twice already (same exact thing - stuck on stopwatch and not allow returning back to showing the time) is very frustrating, especially since I have it for less then a year.

FYI - Tissot will not talk to you if you have an issue. You will have to use the warranty given by Amazon and it is not good, sorry to say.
Not only that they are not responsive and it took 3 calls and screamin on a supervisor to get a status of the repair but 2 months later the same thing happened again and you have no one to talk to, just the warranty company.
Remember - Tissot will not talk to you and after 30 days Amazon will not talk to you as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-catching instrument, March 10, 2008

This review is from: Tissot Men's T33759859 T-Touch Titanium Watch (Watch)

Solid build and construction. The pressure-sensitive glass surface is scratch resistant. The compass uses the hour and minute hand and is easy to read. The altimeter and barometer stays accurate if calibrated. The thermometer uses the bottom plate as sensor, thus is only accurate when the watch is not worn.

After wearing this watch for 1-2 years, I found the digital clock out of sync with the analog clock. For example, the digital clock shows 9:00, but the analog hands show 9:02. A short call to the Tissot Customer Support fixed the problem. They showed me how to re-sync the two. They said it is caused by de-magnetization. Not sure if that is true, but at least I can fix it.

It is a men's watch, but is still wearable on a slender woman's wrist. The strap is adjusted by cutting off the extra rubber with scissors.

Despite several shortcomings, I still find this watch stylish and uilitarian. Many people comment on the watch. It is definitely an attention-catcher.
