My friend called me for my birthday 3 days ago and said he had a surprise for me...picked me up, took me to a watch store and bought me the Tissot. I had my eye on the Tissot for 2 years. What a gent.
Definitely both are great timepieces, with an amazing reputation, of course I love both. I think Tissot are such amazing pieces with really good functionality and a really luxury intended image, the Seiko are as good as Tissot but the Seiko watches are more focused on functionality as really diving tools than having a luxury image, but both are really amazing watches.
I have owned both of these. The Powermatic movement is way better than the Seiko 6r15. My Seastar was accurate to within a second a day and the 80 hour power reserve is amazing, but the bracelet is bad and nowhere near as good as the Seiko. Despite both being divers the look and feel is completely different on the wrist. I wish I had kept the Tissot and will likely get one again in the future, I still have the Seiko, it’s a good watch but nothing all that special about it. My Seiko has gained about a minute over this week, which is well within factory spec. The Powermatic movement is truly something special.
Luck of the Draw. Had 3 powermatics and all of them sucked..lost 25-45 per day after a year or two and oils dried up with horrible winding action. Had much better luck with Eta 2824/2836/2892/2895 which last forever and remained accurate for long time. My seiko Sarb with 6R15 is accurate 0-1 second for 6-7 years and had other seikos with 4R movement that run 0 beating some of my Tudors, Rlx,Breitling, etc

Received the green Tissot Seastar 1000 with Milanese strap last month from my beloved Wife for my 60th birthday, as she knows I love watches I can swim in all day (I have G-Shocks galore, a lovely old Rotary waterproof and a beautiful Bulova Precisionist, that has 300m water resistance, like the Tissot). The Tissot is just about the most perfect watch for the price paid. Stunning to look at, even better to wear. Have had total strangers commenting on how beautiful my watch is! The movement is undoubtedly world class and with 80 hours of reserve power - just amazing. Bloody love it!!
Tissot is a very good looking watch esp for the money! Thanks for the comment. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!
What REALLY grinds my gears is the proportions on those round indexes on the Tissot, and the worst thing is the second hand that because of 'reasons', that round dot does not aligns to anything, it's just like, one milimeter or so from the tip, does not align to the center of those round indexes, nor the rectangular ones... There's a overall lack of proportions on the Tissot. The strongest point for me is the 80 hours reserve Powermatic movement, and the blue sunburst dial,.
I also noticed on the loom pip the actual pip is off center on mine I don't know if that is something that is typical for teso but it's one of those things once I saw it I couldn't see it and now every time I look at the watch I noticed the loom pip is off center not a huge deal maybe I'm being a baby but they do charge $1,000 for this watch at retail and these are simple things that they can get right. However I do also have the Seiko sbdc061 that has a very misaligned chapter ring 12:00 marker and that drives me absolutely not since a lot more noticeable I think that also is $1,000 watch I don't get it... I did buy both of these on the gray market for significantly less than $1,000 asking prices so that could be the reason why I'm not getting the best versions who knows...

Then you might want to read up about Seiko and it's history of making mechanical watches in general and dive watches in particular. You are simply going by their perception in India and Indians aren't into watches
I’ve recently reviewed the Tissot and I have a Seiko diver. They are hard to compare despite both being divers. They have very different feels. Both great, both a good value, just different. I vote both!

I watched your video dozen times. And i have no words, you pick up my favorite automatic watches. I have the same Tissot with rubber strap, and my wife started to be jalous on it. One suggestion, please make some video about Valjoux 7734 movement. Best regards
Thanks very much!! The Tissot is an amazing watch! I will look into the 7734 I have a watch with the 7750... I did a video on a watch I had with a Venus 188 movement which eventually became the valjoux 7733... which became the 7734 check it out.

Nice video. Both great models. In my opinion, the Tissot is more luxurious and that rubber strap gives it a "Yacht Master" vibe. For desk diving and bragging rights it's the winner. For actually diving the Seiko wins and let's face it, the over engineering by Seiko probably means they have the same WR. Having bought and sold many watches over the years I have come to the conclusion that I am only interested in 4 brands: Casio/G shock, Seiko, Swatch/Tissot and Rolex. Don't waste money or time (pun intended) with the other manufacturers.
This is your opinion and while it is same with mine,pwe I am interested in t Tissot, Seiko,and Casio/g shock ,together with Orient and citizen are the best for buck maybe. And Rolex give me the impression that they are excellent quality tools for top durability,long standing and performance. But really there are many brands that are good. Omega as said above but also many others with their traditions such as longines, breitlijg,tag Heuer.etc. and Tudor makes some of the best watches.
Yes the newer seastar with the upgraded movement and strap deff would win... I have the older one which is very very nice I would say still has a slight edge on the Seiko.. thanks for the comment.

Seiko has a really beautiful blue dial version of this watch that is more beautiful than that Tissot Dial. It’s the SBDC065/SPB083 (for two different markets. That is the comparison that needs to be done. I have that watch, way more beautiful than the black version (though that’s nice as well). That being said, that Tissot is amazing for the price (I’ve seen it for $425). Great Swiss movement, ceramic bezel, beautiful dial, 300 meters, just a way better value than the Seiko in this particular comparison. May get this Tissot one day. A nice casual dive watch. But I just got my Seiko SBDC065 today, it’s insanely beautiful.
Dear Chris, Seiko is much better with 6R15 movement, bracelet, bezel action, luminous and reliability; in spite of the lower 50 hours power reserve. Many Thanks for the very good comparison.
Yes I agree Tissot Certina and Hamilton are my favorites... Really well made watches for decent prices... Thanks for the comment. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!
By your points/criteria, the Tissot objectively gives you more per dollar. Reason aside, I am still drawn to the Seiko. Good idea to compare these two!
The seiko is available with a great blue dial, the spb083 :) And I prefer the dimensions of the seiko, but the place of the date is much better on the Tissot. And the movement is a good argument!
I have both watches. Tissot for me. Seiko is a great watch but horrible at time keeping, but wins out in lume but not by far. Tissot is by far imo a better build quality tho.
I’m very much interested in the Tissot based on the beauty of the watch & dial. I’m not using the watch for anything other than aesthetics. I think the bezel actually looks better with the faded numbering even tho I can see why as a tool watch this would be an issue. My question is.. is this watch worth the purchase from a quality perspective outside of the Lume or bezel visibility issues? The dial seems beautiful & unique. I just don’t want It to look or feel cheap. Any help?
@@ericwojo81 hey Eric in my opinion no there aren't many watches out there that can match the quality and style of this watch. The quality is good and I would say on par with seikos in the same price range.... I also think it looks great on the wrist and the dial can not be beat. Thanks for the question. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!
Certainly, how is the build quality of the Tissot? Is this something you can rely on for shock resist or minor nicks that happen to it? Is this a piece that you can see standing the test of time?
@@ericwojo81 hey Eric as far as durability the Tissot is a watch that will last it has a sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel (which should keep the watch looking new for a very very long time) and a really tough Swiss made eta movement. It's truly an excellent watch for the money.
I love Seiko, but the Tissot is just so much better value for me. For the price I can get the Seastar, I can’t get a Seiko with sapphire, and I’m lucky not to get the noticeably inferior 4R movement. I tend to find it priced between the Turtle and Sumo (both hardlex w/ metal bezel, one 4R, the other 6R), which are both great watches, but the Tissot is (at least technically) superior to both. Seiko’s noticeably superior lume, more legible bezel, with better action and better bracelet (Tissot’s isn’t bad, except for the clasp, which is awful) make them better functionality better Dive Watches, even on the cheaper models. However, Tissot’s thinner case, better movement, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel at a lower price, all make it a better daily proposition for most people, particularly as a “desk diver”, especially as your only watch. I also find the Tissot classier, which I feel it helps it’s versatility, as I’d be willing to wear the Tissot with a suit (esp. on bracelet), but I’d never wear any Seiko diver with a suit (not even a GS). That being said, I can understand why some consider it boring compared to the Seiko’s.
Thank you for the comment I very much agree with you especially about wearing the Tissot with a suit the thinner case will slip under a cuff with ease. Also the Tissot is cheaper than the seiko so really you can get the seastar and a SKX for the price of the 061 and that's not a bad little collection...
Dear Chris, Please advise the time accuracy in both watches. Also, are they both hackable. Please also highlight the QC on the Bezzel Action and allignment in both watches. Many Thanks for the quick comparison between both watches, as they are almost equivalent in Technical Specifications.
My 2 favorite watches. You've got good taste. Actually I own the 1st Seiko sumo the non prospex one and same exact Tissot. Love them both and would have a hard time choosing 1 over other.
I have friends that Tech Dive that would prefer the 300 meter water resistance. Tech divers are a pretty rare breed. I recreational dive to a 40 meter limit so I don't care 200 or 300. Honestly, I dove for 30 years with a Seamaster 120 and it did fine.
I have an older generation Tissot Seastar with eta 2824-2 with 38 hours power reserve, i have used it more than few times, then i noticed that i can wear that as dress watch. My opinon: Still a good tool watch. They are built to last. If i am to prefer something Japanese there is an Orient Star diver with ref no RK-AU0303B. Sorry but those Orient Star movements are better than Seiko's 6r15.
what are your thoughts on the display caseback if it breaks its like my only concern other then that i love the watch and you could even put it on a bracelet couldnt you ?
Hey display case backs won't break This watch has a sapphire case back so it's very very hard to scratch and almost impossible to shatter while on wrist. They do make a bracelet for the Tissot... But it's not that great... It's not horrible it's not as good as the Seiko... thanks for the comment and please don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't. It's much appreciated and very helpful...
@@WatchChris one more question for you where can i find the red bezel one it seems like its discontinued or somthing im in canada so want to get here to save for boarder fees any suggestions?
Hey Phil yes they are both really capable and very good looking watches. Seems like where one lacks the other excels... I really love them both.. do you own either?
I have both of these. Lume, looks, heritage of this model, the Seiko. Tissot wins with power reserve, WR (as you say, doesn't matter beyond specs) and, kind of a toss up with looks because it adds exhibition case back and that fume dial. Good call that they've pretty even, which is why I got both, lol. Toss in the Raymond Weil Freelancer Diver for a third, slightly dressed up option. I have that one too, and each watch does its own thing very well. Good review.
@@Npfernandez Yes, it's very much worth it, I believe. The heritage, the specific nod to Seiko history, the finishing, Seiko lume of course, plus sapphire, DiaShield coating on case and bracelet, 50hr PR, full dive specs, looks and feels great to wear, it's a wonderful edition to any collection, excellent value for price, and a very different watch from the Tissot, meaning a good expansion of wear options.
The Seiko costs quite a bit more than the Tissot (which is not an ISO certified diver). Hard to decide on which as both are superb. However, the Tissot has a better movement with far more power reserve and probaby more accurate too. I'll just go for both then 😁
Hey CS that's a great choice 👍 infact that's what I did!! Lol but I agree with you on the movement. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks for the comment!!!!
Just ordered this watch same color on rubber, in blue, I have Seiko sbdc053 on silicon with a strapecode on it's way, wonderful watch, sapphire crystal, have also an SPDC069 Sumor with coral color, only slight negstive iis Hardlex crystal which is a minor eh. Never had a trouble . Ordered the Tissot on that color with the silicon strao which heard good, and not so great bracket so passed on going metal,,
Tissot almost every bit is better than Seiko, in my opinion. Except the lum. Bezel easy turn w much grids, #larger easy read (how many people fixated at one point to read their watch.Tissot movement just outstanding for the price,finish & accuracy. while Seiko has to hide.The case side finish ,crown guard all extra detail even the case locking back compare to SEIKO. So Seiko can price higher hoping people believe it cost more must be better.
@@innosanto in marketing it's what's known as a "value added" feature. It certainly is more appealing then the Seiko's wave back. It's not a big deal, but in most instances I'd prefer to have it than not have it and it's just one more point in the Tissot's favor.
Question asks, "better diver?" Meaning really underwater diving or desk diving? So what really matters, is simply the look that someone likes. As Chris states, "I'm not going diving with these watches." So, which one for the price would you purchase?
i love both of them but the seiko just looks like a rest of seiko from a chip version to the hight end one i think if the seiko srp21 coming with 6r15 and the same spec like sbdc61 i will put my money on the seiko but like this only Tissot wins everything Tissot looks better and also higher spec with a lower price
Hi FruiVega, thanks for the comment. The Tissot deffinatly has better specs and the Powermatic 80 is killer... 80 hours of power reserve really does come in handy and I like you can see it from the Sapphire case back. Please consider subscribing and hitting the like button if you haven't. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks!!
Why did you say the blue version of the 061 is the sbdc033?? Thats a totally different line, its the blumo ( blue sumo) the blue version of the sbdc061 is the sbdc065 i think... but you also have the sbdc053
Very true I shouldn't have said that ... I think I did only because I have both the 033 and the 061... however the 033 is closer in price to the Tissot the 065 is double the price of the Tissot even on the grey market... Thanks for the comment. Please consider subscribing and hitting the like button if you haven't. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!!
I prefer the Seiko's looks, but the movement on the Seiko is shit compared to the one on the Tissot. The ETA 2824-2-based Powermatic 80 is far more accurate and has twice the power reserve.
The Seiko looks great imo also but I really like the 80 hour power reserve on the Tissot and the movement doesn't look bad either... The 6r15 in the Seiko is an ugly movement...

@@WatchChris Already subscribed. I ended up getting the exact rubber strap model as shown in the video last year, however, been looking for a metal bracelet to swap out. Do you know any good third party stainless steel watch straps, that fit the 21MM lugs (a PAIN) lol?
@@heydude1643 thanks very much! I know the 21mm is crazy why they did that is beyond me the only one I can find is a mesh bracelet on ebay... I think being sold out of HK I haven't purchased one but that's the only one I have seen...
@@WatchChris Yeah, a quality one is hard to find especially at 21mm..... Might settle on the factory Tissot bracelet, have to try it on at the local AD first to see if it's really as bad as people say it is.
I just grabbed this watch with the metal bracelet last week and I am blown away by it. The clasp would've been better served with a milled button clasp rather than a press clasp but at this price point. I am not going to cause a fight over that. As for the bezel and ceramic chapter ring colour, I do agree with you that it's a lot better than that standard Seastar 1000. It's also better in person than Tissot's official photography would suggest.
Thanks Ed they're both very capable and incredible watches. Thanks for the comment! Please consider subscribing to the channel if you haven't already. It's much appreciated and very helpful thanks again.
Hey I agree with that on the bezel because it's too shiny. The previous model had a Stainless Steel engraved bezel which was really nice should have carried that over.

Yeah you barely notice the date window on the Tissot. Another way to say it is you can't read the date as easily on the Tissot. With my aging eyes , very important.

I had heard so much about seiko being durable and my wife gave me a monster for Xmas, it lasted 6 months im always working with my hands and I ride motorcycles alot and from being bumped around the stem lock Inside the movement broke and it had to go back to seiko for repair ,watch came back and 2 weeks later I scratched the crystal so bad cleaning my garage the watch isn't wearable wife got me this Tissot and it's held up with no issue I will never buy a seiko ever .
When it comes to those twonks who buy a watch for the edification of others, you could paint "Swiss Made" on a manatee turd and they'd bang on about how superiour it is.
Damn. I've owned 3 watches. One is a Casio G-Shock , next is a Citizen gold plated one , last but definitely not the least my Seiko I got after graduating med school.
I love the seiko but I'd take the tissot. Seikos quality control is absolute garbage, their movements are mediocre, and their strategy of moving upmarket by doubling their prices without improving quality.. ..yeah....tissot all day
Hey thanks for the comment. The Seiko is a really great classic dive watch, I think they work great side by side in a collection. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!!
Frankly, I don't care for either watch. The deal-breaker for me would be price. Many other watches on the market that have a better value proposition and much more attractive. Then again, it is all perceived value, isn't it 😉
@@DeadEyeRabbit Neither cuz it doesnt exist he is clearly idiot who doesnt know nothing about watches. These two are the best in this price range even at much higher price u cant get much better watches than what these two give you.
WatchChris the thing I’m hung up on is the bezel.. I like the idea of ceramic. A scratch proof bezel. I’m worried about the Seiko getting beat down faster. Any input?
@@ericwojo81 the Seiko will get beat up faster BUT you can change the insert on the Seiko it would cost you about 100 bucks from seiko... The Tissot will last unless you have a bad impact...
The Tissot is beautiful. I had on black dial with red bevel. The Powematic 80 was extremely accurate, almost quartz accurate. The problems were absolutely no lume and the movement is NOT serviceable. Sold it.
There is no automatic watch on earth wich is not serviceable. No lume, the video says the opposite, not as good as the seiko, but definitly lume. So, what are you talking about?
I prefer Tissot, always. But in this case much more Tissot. I can't understand about this glamour with the Seiko. Ceramic besel, powermatic 80, 300 meters versus 200 meter, case back window. So, I can't believe about this comparison. There is other Tissot models with stainless steel bracelet. Bad! So bad comparison.
The Tissot bracelet is inferior to the Seiko it is pressed metal and cheap when compared to the Seiko. Also the case finishing on the Tissot is inferior to the Seiko. The bezel on the Tissot is not good even if it's ceramic.... The Seiko has many advantages over the Tissot.
@@WatchChris You were lucky to get an aligned Seiko dial ;) Have had / have many Seikos and Tissots...6R15 / 4R35 variation is not even close to ETA, is such an unreliable movement, varies so much with position and it's a pain to regulate. I almost never needed to regulate an ETA. Seiko watches are so inconsistent with details and construction, you always have to send back/reorder to get a good copy. Tissot always flawless. And I would add in here also Seiko's "lost brother"...Orient...even they are consistent with alignment and construction, even easier to regulate than ETAs, and more accurate than Seiko. The only Seiko that I kept is the SARB, only one that worked pretty well because maybe it was a Japanese copy. Otherwise, SKX, SBD033, SNZG, SRPC, etc are all cheap and unreliable movements. SKX was atrocious in keeping time and died within a week LOL and SBDC033 took me 2 weeks to regulate and still wasn't accurate, up and down at its will. Only if you move higher now with the new Seikos - with 8L35 - maybe are a bit better, but they all are overpriced.
I had this Tissot. I've also got an Apeks diver for £120. It has superior lume, better accuracy and zero bezel play. Crazy. Flipped the Tissot in the end. Pretty watch but a let down for the money.
Orient Ray II with Miltat bracelet... 210 total. Almost as good as my Bond Seamaster. Seriously. And 3 seconds a day on average... Amazing beater. Oh... And is take the Seiko all day. Tissot sounds like it should have a leg up but looks too shiny and just not serious as a tool watch. And it's not just the price point. Look at the $4000 Breitling Heritage II. Similar visual failures, cheap shiny look.. In my opinion.
The Tissot has an amazing dial it's just mesmerizing... Thanks for the comment. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!

One correction, the Seiko Prospex is not a diver's style, it's a certified diver's watch. I still prefer the Tissot, tho
Tissot looks more dress watch in a way, while Seiko more.like a tool.
Depends on what you want to get

@@WatchChris Subbed. Thank you again.
Seastar offers more for the money, much more
Btw seiko does not use transparent case backs because of the iso divers certification
I watched your video dozen times. And i have no words, you pick up my favorite automatic watches. I have the same Tissot with rubber strap, and my wife started to be jalous on it. One suggestion, please make some video about Valjoux 7734 movement. Best regards
Thanks very much!! The Tissot is an amazing watch! I will look into the 7734 I have a watch with the 7750... I did a video on a watch I had with a Venus 188 movement which eventually became the valjoux 7733... which became the 7734 check it out.

Nice video. Both great models. In my opinion, the Tissot is more luxurious and that rubber strap gives it a "Yacht Master" vibe. For desk diving and bragging rights it's the winner. For actually diving the Seiko wins and let's face it, the over engineering by Seiko probably means they have the same WR. Having bought and sold many watches over the years I have come to the conclusion that I am only interested in 4 brands: Casio/G shock, Seiko, Swatch/Tissot and Rolex. Don't waste money or time (pun intended) with the other manufacturers.
This is your opinion and while it is same with mine,pwe
I am interested in t
Tissot, Seiko,and Casio/g shock ,together with Orient and citizen are the best for buck maybe. And Rolex give me the impression that they are excellent quality tools for top durability,long standing and performance. But really there are many brands that are good. Omega as said above but also many others with their traditions such as longines, breitlijg,tag Heuer.etc. and Tudor makes some of the best watches.
In this case, the Tissot is better looking. If this is a Powermatic 80 silicium model, it wins.
Yes the newer seastar with the upgraded movement and strap deff would win... I have the older one which is very very nice I would say still has a slight edge on the Seiko.. thanks for the comment.

Seiko has a really beautiful blue dial version of this watch that is more beautiful than that Tissot Dial. It’s the SBDC065/SPB083 (for two different markets. That is the comparison that needs to be done. I have that watch, way more beautiful than the black version (though that’s nice as well).
That being said, that Tissot is amazing for the price (I’ve seen it for $425). Great Swiss movement, ceramic bezel, beautiful dial, 300 meters, just a way better value than the Seiko in this particular comparison. May get this Tissot one day. A nice casual dive watch.
But I just got my Seiko SBDC065 today, it’s insanely beautiful.

The blue version dial in the Seiko baby MM does not have Sapphire Crystal, which is a majour drawback.
Dear Chris, Seiko is much better with 6R15 movement, bracelet, bezel action, luminous and reliability; in spite of the lower 50 hours power reserve. Many Thanks for the very good comparison.
My favorite affordable Swiss watches are Tissot and Certina great value for the money.
The seastar for me👌🏼
Yes I agree Tissot Certina and Hamilton are my favorites... Really well made watches for decent prices... Thanks for the comment. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!!

@@mrraybanman thanks!!
Just wanna know if which has bigger diameter between certina ds and tissot seamaster thanks.
Seiko has a better bezel action?
By your points/criteria, the Tissot objectively gives you more per dollar. Reason aside, I am still drawn to the Seiko. Good idea to compare these two!
Both incredible watches really comes down to which one is a better fit for you. Can't go wrong with either!
No since Tissot is without bracelet. It would be expected to be cheaper.
That Tissot over that Seiko any way, any day. 80 hours!!! Sapphire x 2. Ceramic. The movement. And, I am a sucker for a blue dial.
The seiko is available with a great blue dial, the spb083 :) And I prefer the dimensions of the seiko, but the place of the date is much better on the Tissot. And the movement is a good argument!
I have both watches. Tissot for me. Seiko is a great watch but horrible at time keeping, but wins out in lume but not by far. Tissot is by far imo a better build quality tho.
I have a V8 tissot I’ve just got a seastar Silicium they are amazing
Tissot looks bigger size than seiko, althought seizo has bigger diameter.
Lovely review! Thank you
Sbdc061 easy choice. Everything about it is nicer.
No
I have both.. to me the Tissot is a bit more dressy/classy and the Seiko has very classic vintage seiko cues..
I’m very much interested in the Tissot based on the beauty of the watch & dial. I’m not using the watch for anything other than aesthetics. I think the bezel actually looks better with the faded numbering even tho I can see why as a tool watch this would be an issue. My question is.. is this watch worth the purchase from a quality perspective outside of the Lume or bezel visibility issues? The dial seems beautiful & unique. I just don’t want It to look or feel cheap. Any help?
Are there watches on the market with better quality & more beautiful in the same price range? I haven’t found any so far
@@ericwojo81 hey Eric in my opinion no there aren't many watches out there that can match the quality and style of this watch. The quality is good and I would say on par with seikos in the same price range.... I also think it looks great on the wrist and the dial can not be beat. Thanks for the question. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the like button if you haven't already done so. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks again!
Certainly, how is the build quality of the Tissot? Is this something you can rely on for shock resist or minor nicks that happen to it? Is this a piece that you can see standing the test of time?
@@ericwojo81 hey Eric as far as durability the Tissot is a watch that will last it has a sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel (which should keep the watch looking new for a very very long time) and a really tough Swiss made eta movement. It's truly an excellent watch for the money.
WatchChris thank you, my last question is how is the comfortability? Do you hav problems wearing this all day long?
Actually, i think the Tissot SS bracelet is better made. The clasp however ls pressed unlike the Seiko. A shame really.
I just recently had to make the choice. I went for the Tissot as it also made a great watch for all social purposes
Great review, thank you.
I love Seiko, but the Tissot is just so much better value for me. For the price I can get the Seastar, I can’t get a Seiko with sapphire, and I’m lucky not to get the noticeably inferior 4R movement. I tend to find it priced between the Turtle and Sumo (both hardlex w/ metal bezel, one 4R, the other 6R), which are both great watches, but the Tissot is (at least technically) superior to both.
Seiko’s noticeably superior lume, more legible bezel, with better action and better bracelet (Tissot’s isn’t bad, except for the clasp, which is awful) make them better functionality better Dive Watches, even on the cheaper models. However, Tissot’s thinner case, better movement, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel at a lower price, all make it a better daily proposition for most people, particularly as a “desk diver”, especially as your only watch.
I also find the Tissot classier, which I feel it helps it’s versatility, as I’d be willing to wear the Tissot with a suit (esp. on bracelet), but I’d never wear any Seiko diver with a suit (not even a GS). That being said, I can understand why some consider it boring compared to the Seiko’s.
Thank you for the comment I very much agree with you especially about wearing the Tissot with a suit the thinner case will slip under a cuff with ease. Also the Tissot is cheaper than the seiko so really you can get the seastar and a SKX for the price of the 061 and that's not a bad little collection...
Dear Chris, Please advise the time accuracy in both watches. Also, are they both hackable. Please also highlight the QC on the Bezzel Action and allignment in both watches. Many Thanks for the quick comparison between both watches, as they are almost equivalent in Technical Specifications.
Hello thanks for review. Could you please inform me about how to use crown for tissot?
My 2 favorite watches. You've got good taste. Actually I own the 1st Seiko sumo the non prospex one and same exact Tissot. Love them both and would have a hard time choosing 1 over other.
I would go with Tissot.
I love Tissot seastar it looks amazing and even my 15y daughter agrees with that statement
I’ll take that Seiko 061 all day long 👍🏻
I really love the movement in the Tissot. Other than that, I would give the Seiko a slight edge, but they are both winners.
I have friends that Tech Dive that would prefer the 300 meter water resistance. Tech divers are a pretty rare breed. I recreational dive to a 40 meter limit so I don't care 200 or 300. Honestly, I dove for 30 years with a Seamaster 120 and it did fine.
I have an older generation Tissot Seastar with eta 2824-2 with 38 hours power reserve, i have used it more than few times, then i noticed that i can wear that as dress watch. My opinon: Still a good tool watch. They are built to last. If i am to prefer something Japanese there is an Orient Star diver with ref no RK-AU0303B. Sorry but those Orient Star movements are better than Seiko's 6r15.
If I had to choose one I would definitely go for the Tissot
what are your thoughts on the display caseback if it breaks its like my only concern other then that i love the watch and you could even put it on a bracelet couldnt you ?
Hey display case backs won't break This watch has a sapphire case back so it's very very hard to scratch and almost impossible to shatter while on wrist. They do make a bracelet for the Tissot... But it's not that great... It's not horrible it's not as good as the Seiko... thanks for the comment and please don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't.

@@WatchChris one more question for you where can i find the red bezel one it seems like its discontinued or somthing im in canada so want to get here to save for boarder fees any suggestions?
Both watches are great in there own way
Hey Phil yes they are both really capable and very good looking watches. Seems like where one lacks the other excels... I really love them both.. do you own either?
@@WatchChris I have the Tissot..The black dial version .. Great watch for little money ..
@@phil726 awesome watch
i agree.. both have specific appeal
I have both of these. Lume, looks, heritage of this model, the Seiko. Tissot wins with power reserve, WR (as you say, doesn't matter beyond specs) and, kind of a toss up with looks because it adds exhibition case back and that fume dial. Good call that they've pretty even, which is why I got both, lol. Toss in the Raymond Weil Freelancer Diver for a third, slightly dressed up option. I have that one too, and each watch does its own thing very well. Good review.
135i pocketrocket i have the tissot, but planning also to buy this sbdc061, do you think its worth it?
@@Npfernandez Yes, it's very much worth it, I believe. The heritage, the specific nod to Seiko history, the finishing, Seiko lume of course, plus sapphire, DiaShield coating on case and bracelet, 50hr PR, full dive specs, looks and feels great to wear, it's a wonderful edition to any collection, excellent value for price, and a very different watch from the Tissot, meaning a good expansion of wear options.
135i pocketrocket thank you for the insights. Will probably watch more vids and review before pulling the trigger.
I have both two, both gems in their own way
why there is no 1000ft diver written on the watch??
In case you want it, 2021 models Seastar noticed 1000ft diveexp on the plat ftw
i really want this sieko in green dial any idea where can i find it ?
The Seiko costs quite a bit more than the Tissot (which is not an ISO certified diver). Hard to decide on which as both are superb. However, the Tissot has a better movement with far more power reserve and probaby more accurate too. I'll just go for both then 😁

Thank you!!
Can you get a warranty from the Swatch if you buy that model with $450?
Just ordered this watch same color on rubber, in blue, I have Seiko sbdc053 on silicon with a strapecode on it's way, wonderful watch, sapphire crystal, have also an SPDC069 Sumor with coral color, only slight negstive iis Hardlex crystal which is a minor eh. Never had a trouble . Ordered the Tissot on that color with the silicon strao which heard good, and not so great bracket so passed on going metal,,
Tissot almost every bit is better than Seiko, in my opinion. Except the lum.
Bezel easy turn w much grids, #larger easy read (how many people fixated at one point to read their watch.Tissot movement just outstanding for the price,finish & accuracy. while Seiko has to hide.The case side finish ,crown guard all extra detail even the case locking back compare to SEIKO. So Seiko can price higher hoping people believe it cost more must be better.
I just got that exact same Tissot; @ under 500 bucks with sapphire crystal, display back, and Powermatic 80 it was kind of a no brainer.
Display back is more if a new watch collector thing.mist experienced collectors do not give much attention to that.
Both great watches.
@@innosanto in marketing it's what's known as a "value added" feature. It certainly is more appealing then the Seiko's wave back. It's not a big deal, but in most instances I'd prefer to have it than not have it and it's just one more point in the Tissot's favor.
There IS a clear winner! Tissot is not misaligned!
Question asks, "better diver?" Meaning really underwater diving or desk diving? So what really matters, is simply the look that someone likes. As Chris states, "I'm not going diving with these watches." So, which one for the price would you purchase?
Have that Tissot and it is awesome
i love both of them but the seiko just looks like a rest of seiko from a chip version to the hight end one i think if the seiko srp21 coming with 6r15 and the same spec like sbdc61 i will put my money on the seiko but like this only Tissot wins everything Tissot looks better and also higher spec with a lower price
Hi FruiVega, thanks for the comment.

Please consider subscribing and hitting the like button if you haven't. It's much appreciated and very helpful. Thanks!!
lower beat and plastic parts to get the 80 hours.
I’m getting the Tissot, I dint dive. Just pool, beach, rivers, work and hangout. Will be my first diver watch.
Seiko SBDC065 Deep Blue Hole is stunning . But how about Black/Gold Seastar 1000 Special Edition ?
Why did you say the blue version of the 061 is the sbdc033?? Thats a totally different line, its the blumo ( blue sumo) the blue version of the sbdc061 is the sbdc065 i think... but you also have the sbdc053
Very true I shouldn't have said that ... I think I did only because I have both the 033 and the 061... however the 033 is closer in price to the Tissot the 065 is double the price of the Tissot even on the grey market...

I'll take the Seiko.
Me too.i love seiko
I prefer the Seiko's looks, but the movement on the Seiko is shit compared to the one on the Tissot. The ETA 2824-2-based Powermatic 80 is far more accurate and has twice the power reserve.
The Seiko looks great imo also but I really like the 80 hour power reserve on the Tissot and the movement doesn't look bad either... The 6r15 in the Seiko is an ugly movement...

@@WatchChris Already subscribed. I ended up getting the exact rubber strap model as shown in the video last year, however, been looking for a metal bracelet to swap out. Do you know any good third party stainless steel watch straps, that fit the 21MM lugs (a PAIN) lol?
@@heydude1643 thanks very much! I know the 21mm is crazy why they did that is beyond me the only one I can find is a mesh bracelet on ebay... I think being sold out of HK I haven't purchased one but that's the only one I have seen...
@@WatchChris Yeah, a quality one is hard to find especially at 21mm..... Might settle on the factory Tissot bracelet, have to try it on at the local AD first to see if it's really as bad as people say it is.
@@heydude1643 how much do they ask for the OEM? I have handled them before they aren't the best...
They are close in specs? Seriously? The Seiko is a certified diver, the tissot is just a toy. 😎
Can you please review the 2020 edition of the tissot seastar powermatic 80 silicium? The bezel is so much better and so is the accuracy.
I just grabbed this watch with the metal bracelet last week and I am blown away by it. The clasp would've been better served with a milled button clasp rather than a press clasp but at this price point. I am not going to cause a fight over that. As for the bezel and ceramic chapter ring colour, I do agree with you that it's a lot better than that standard Seastar 1000. It's also better in person than Tissot's official photography would suggest.
Quality on Tissot, but comfy on Seiko. Specifically these 2 models.
I love Tissot
Hands down the Tissot

wait what?
@@bremertoerien6987 No. It’s my mistake. I hate this watches. Don’t like it in 2021.
The Tissot is significantly more accurate and the better movement. The Seastar simply can’t be beat here.
Great review but not in the same price point not fair to compare.
The tissot movement is better. It have free spurng and it is much more accurate
I’m a seiko fan. Own several nice pieces. I am buying the Seastar 1000 for my first tissot. Love it! Great price .
The Tissot looks a bit cheapo shiny. Previous model was far better to my eyes.

I had heard so much about seiko being durable and my wife gave me a monster for Xmas, it lasted 6 months im always working with my hands and I ride motorcycles alot and from being bumped around the stem lock Inside the movement broke and it had to go back to seiko for repair ,watch came back and 2 weeks later I scratched the crystal so bad cleaning my garage the watch isn't wearable wife got me this Tissot and it's held up with no issue I will never buy a seiko ever .
How accurate has the Tissot given you, how many seconds is it ahead or behind?
I own one, about +4 per day. I place it face down at night and then it self corrects. After about a month and a half I’m at +28 seconds
When it comes to those twonks who buy a watch for the edification of others, you could paint "Swiss Made" on a manatee turd and they'd bang on about how superiour it is.
I think most of the Tissot is probably made in China either way...
Actually that probably goes for both of these
I do not know both nice ⌚ watches.👍
I LIke SEIKO . More technology and more detail
The Seastar by a mile.My Tissot just shout's quality.A far superior watch.
Have you seen the new version? They updated it just a little bit...
@@WatchChris what are the news?
The Seiko looks like any building site watch whereas the tissot looks good in jeans or suit and boots.tissot every time.
Um.. okay
My wrist 6.75.. Tissot seastar too big for me?
Damn. I've owned 3 watches. One is a Casio G-Shock , next is a Citizen gold plated one , last but definitely not the least my Seiko I got after graduating med school.
I love the seiko but I'd take the tissot.
Seikos quality control is absolute garbage, their movements are mediocre, and their strategy of moving upmarket by doubling their prices without improving quality.. ..yeah....tissot all day
I have the Tissot so naturally Im gonna go with my purchase. However, I won't mind one bit if i had that Seiko in my collection too

Greg Alonzo what others do you recommend?
@@DeadEyeRabbit Neither cuz it doesnt exist he is clearly idiot who doesnt know nothing about watches. These two are the best in this price range even at much higher price u cant get much better watches than what these two give you.
Tissot more beauty, and have crown protector
I’m having a lot of difficulty weighing out the Tissot vs Seiko SBDC055 ahhhh so tough.
Get both!!!! Lol start with the Seiko and eventually get the Tissot
WatchChris the thing I’m hung up on is the bezel.. I like the idea of ceramic. A scratch proof bezel. I’m worried about the Seiko getting beat down faster. Any input?
@@ericwojo81 the Seiko will get beat up faster BUT you can change the insert on the Seiko it would cost you about 100 bucks from seiko... The Tissot will last unless you have a bad impact...
WatchChris they’re both beautiful dials. For the extra $ is It worth It to get a Seiko instead? For the long term use & overall more respected brand?
The Tissot is beautiful. I had on black dial with red bevel. The Powematic 80 was extremely accurate, almost quartz accurate. The problems were absolutely no lume and the movement is NOT serviceable. Sold it.
There is no automatic watch on earth wich is not serviceable. No lume, the video says the opposite, not as good as the seiko, but definitly lume. So, what are you talking about?
I prefer Tissot, always. But in this case much more Tissot. I can't understand about this glamour with the Seiko. Ceramic besel, powermatic 80, 300 meters versus 200 meter, case back window. So, I can't believe about this comparison. There is other Tissot models with stainless steel bracelet. Bad! So bad comparison.
The Tissot bracelet is inferior to the Seiko it is pressed metal and cheap when compared to the Seiko. Also the case finishing on the Tissot is inferior to the Seiko.
The bezel on the Tissot is not good even if it's ceramic.... The Seiko has many advantages over the Tissot.
@@WatchChris You were lucky to get an aligned Seiko dial ;) Have had / have many Seikos and Tissots...6R15 / 4R35 variation is not even close to ETA, is such an unreliable movement, varies so much with position and it's a pain to regulate. I almost never needed to regulate an ETA. Seiko watches are so inconsistent with details and construction, you always have to send back/reorder to get a good copy. Tissot always flawless. And I would add in here also Seiko's "lost brother"...Orient...even they are consistent with alignment and construction, even easier to regulate than ETAs, and more accurate than Seiko. The only Seiko that I kept is the SARB, only one that worked pretty well because maybe it was a Japanese copy. Otherwise, SKX, SBD033, SNZG, SRPC, etc are all cheap and unreliable movements. SKX was atrocious in keeping time and died within a week LOL and SBDC033 took me 2 weeks to regulate and still wasn't accurate, up and down at its will. Only if you move higher now with the new Seikos - with 8L35 - maybe are a bit better, but they all are overpriced.
So do you ever go diving?
Never
I had this Tissot. I've also got an Apeks diver for £120. It has superior lume, better accuracy and zero bezel play. Crazy. Flipped the Tissot in the end. Pretty watch but a let down for the money.
The bezel is disappointing on the Tissot I have to admit and it's something they should have gotten right easily...
Orient Ray II with Miltat bracelet... 210 total. Almost as good as my Bond Seamaster. Seriously. And 3 seconds a day on average... Amazing beater. Oh... And is take the Seiko all day. Tissot sounds like it should have a leg up but looks too shiny and just not serious as a tool watch. And it's not just the price point. Look at the $4000 Breitling Heritage II. Similar visual failures, cheap shiny look.. In my opinion.
I like tissot more than seiko
