I bought myself a Tissot Le Locle when I returned home from my deployment. It’s a wonderful watch that puts a smile on my face anytime I wear it. I plan on maintaining it to keep it forever.
I also own one lovely watch
Such a cool watch, but it wears as a very petite 39mm so I wound up not going through with the purchase. Still, exquisite.
Idk I think 39mm is a great size, especially for a dress watch.
I was in the Air Force and I received a Tag Heuer after my deployment lol
🫡
I just bought it in rose gold absolutely stunning.
Tissot is great value for money. My first Swiss automatic is a Tissot. The more I come across other brands and watches at the same or even slightly higher price range, my respect for Tissot only increases.
Teddy, this is why you are mere millimeters away from a million subscribers of your channel. Your depth of knowledge about brands, their heritage and the movement calibers that power watches we want to know about, coupled with the careful and artistic production you and your team put into your videos really showcases your passion for timepieces.
I look forward to the next deep dive into a specific brand like Seiko or Citizen.
I purchased the Gentleman Powermatic. That watch has been with my on big events: graduations, weddings, work, my father's funeral, and important dinners.
I bought my wife the Seastar 1000 with white bezel as shown in your video. The number of compliments she receives when wearing it is crazy. She absolutely loves it.
I too love the white Tissot, I wish they had it in an automatic for men's id be all over that
Same. I also added the light blue strap so she could switch it out. Very sharp watch
Solid choice … Tissot makes some really clean designs. 👍🏻
The only drawback to Teddy's content, is that it makes me want more watches!😂
I swear 😂😂😂
True story
Most def
I have my Tissot V8 with ivory dial for about 18 yrs and always love wearing it, the looks is sporty yet elegant. Perfect as a detaily watch :)
today I got my first automatic, a Tissot PRX powermatic 80 in blue, I got it for a great price and I couldn't be more happy. Thanks Teddy for helping me choose wisely with your videos.
Great first automatic watch, have fun with it! I have much more expensive watches than the prx but I still wear it (light blue dial) really often. Stunning piece.
This was my first automatic and fist Swiss watch. I’ve had it for a little over 2 years now. I honestly have no issues with it except for the occasional video of someone complaining about the plastic pallet fork and/or escape wheel or whatever). I don’t look inside the watch, and I don’t care. In the event it raises an issue when looking to service down the line, I can just as easily swap for a new movement. For this price, I don’t care. It’s not a $3000 watch.
Its a great watch. I have the ice blue and its awesome and very accurate (less than 2 seconds a day off).
I have the mechanical Ice Blue too. Try putting on their blue leather band. You won’t believe it. I’ll never go back to the bracelet again.
Very solid choice for your first automatic. Wear it well, my friend.
I will buy my green dial Tissot prx automatic when I finish my degree
Make it happen! Keep grinding.
Great timing on this video, my autoplay started playing it while I was looking around for the blue dial Powermatic with blue leather strap.
My first watch was gifted to me from my Parents for completing High School and heading off to University. It was a Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph, pearl white dial with brown leather band. That was 12 years ago, and it's still going strong. I did have to replace the band as that gradually became quite rugged, but it's a fantastic piece to dress up or down with different strap styles.
I bought a PRX from you when my son was born to give to him when he’s 18. Your customer service was great and can’t wait to give it to him one day!
Thank you for the support my friend. Enjoy the watch until it is time to pass it on. I wish I had a watch like that when I turned 18.
I did the same for my son, buying a 1993 pre-Bond Omega Seamaster the day he was born. Never told him about it until the big day. Later, he wore it for his college graduation.
I recommend you run it once a year or so to keep lubrication from gumming up, and be sure to keep all the paperwork to preserve value.
And look forward to that great day!
That's really nice! 😊 I bought my PRX Chronograph when I was 18 (last year) and one day I will be passing it on to my children as well.
Amazing video Teddy, you are the person who got me into watches.
Just bought a Seastar 1000 powermatic 80 for my dad 2 days back. He’s very happy :)
Fantastic piece...very informative and great overall summation of the brand. You should do more of these in the future.
I have the black dial quartz PRX. I bought it when the PRX first released.i wear it weekly! So good
Thank you! I have 2 watches with the powermatic 80, and now feel much better about my purchases, many, many thanks !
I love my PRX with glacier blue dial. Wear it almost every weekday and work construction.
Love my Gentleman in blue and Everytime in white. Thank you Teddy for this video.
My first watch ever was a quartz PRS200 T-Sport Chronograph my dad gifted to me when I was 16. I still wear it every week! I purchased a Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 with the black sunray dial on the bracelet on a cruise last august and then an ice blue PRX 40mm last November thanks to your video on it. I love Tissot they're a great value and I plan to keep all of mine probably forever!
Tissot was my first Swiss-made watch, about 28 years ago. I owned many less expensive watches before that, from Jaz, Armitron, and Timex, to name a few, but desired to (and was able to purchase) some finer watches at that time. I still have that PR100 chronograph and it still runs and looks great (2-tone, dark grey dial and gold sub-dials). I then added some other nice Swiss watches to my collection, but never lost a love for Tissot products. Next was a T-Trend square chronograph with brown dial and light blue hands. I picked up a Seastar 1000 chronograph last year with the blue dial/bezel combo, which is just beautiful. The Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Ice Blue Dial and PRX Automatic 80 "Glacier' are currently calling my name ... neither would be a bad choice. Glad to see Tissot getting much deserved love. Thanks, Teddy!
Another brilliant video. Some much detail, eloquently delivered.👌
I bought my first new watch in 30 years, a blue dial PRX 40mm, after stumbling onto your videos about a year ago. I bought it from you guys over the phone last summer. I enjoy wearing it often, and had two strangers compliment it just this weekend. Thank you for all of the great content you produce. You've helped me discover a passion for watches I didn't even know I had.
Congrats on your watch, I love the PRX models they are just beautiful 😄
I have a 2015 PRS516 in carbon fibre - 23 jewel with the "plastic" pallet fork/escapement. Worn regularly, never serviced, gains about 1 second/day so far. I have no complaints.
Wonderful exploration of the Tissot history and product line. I particularly liked your explanation of the different Powermatic 80 variations. Well done!
My father gave me a Tissot watch when I turned 21. I still have it even though don't wear it anymore as I think it's too small for my arm.
However recently got another Tissot watch, a SeaStar 1000 and love it.
Thanks for the video Teddy. It's very good.
Teddy, you are an inspiration, love the way that you present your material. You inspired me with your “what you wear the most” video, and it helped me get away from browsing watches on the computer go to the high street shops to try the watches on. Surprised to find up close that the La Locle was so elegant, that the Gentleman with blue dial was eye-catching. Both are superb on the wrist. Even though both have the same movement, they have their own personalities, and ended up buying both for a super deal. Thanks again Teddy, I have had the best day!
Thank you for the review, your videos are informative and fun to watch. I ordered my first mechanical watch to celebrate a career milestone, and something about the Le Locle 20th anniversary edition spoke to me. It’s scheduled to arrive within a week and I’m excited to start my watch collection journey!
I'm so glad you clarified the regulating and serviceability of the watch.
I love my dark blue sunburst waffle dialled PRX Powermatic80 and I've seen an increase in sensationalist Tissot trashing content, all of whom state that the movement is made of plastic parts and that service simply results in the discarding of an old movement and replacement with a new one. Some even go onto suggest that it is becoming a discarded Swatch Scuba style brand.
I'm not influenced by content, other than to peak my curiosity and subsequently conduct my own research, to reach my own conclusions.
The 4th section about Movements has answered my questions on the two key aforementioned points.
Teddy is just a rapid fire fountain of knowledge.
I’ve had a PRX 80 in green for about 18 months now. By all means not my most expensive watch, but does get more wrist time than my others.
I’m thinking of getting the 1938 chronometer which looks very good value for a Cosc rated watch.
I think Tissot, along with Longines are solid reliable and affordable watches.
I liked this detailed look at a specific brand quite a lot, and I hope to keep seeing more of these.
Got gifted a quartz PRX and I wear it almost every day. Love it
I bought a Tissot PRS-516 for a sporty beater warehouse work watch. Man did I abuse this watch. Dropped many times and hit countless doorways and desks. Still keeps great time, still looks great. Very impressed with Tissot. I plan on gifting it to my nephew when he starts high school next year.
I have the green dial Gentleman. It is an outstanding watch. Glad you took time to go through the movements. I really wish someone would do a deep dive on the Powermatic 80 family, you did a good job here on that.
I bought a Tissot Alpine special edition and it is a monster! I love it and the compliments I get are crazy! It makes me feel extremely happy with my choice!
Great recap Teddy, thanks.
Thank you for making this video. Love your channel. ❤❤❤
Awesome ! Awesome ! Awesome ! Great video chock full of interesting information and insights into the Tissot timepiece . I enjoy your style please keep up the great work !
I am not really a watch enthusiast. However I am becoming a fan of your channel. Your knowledge and passion for watches really talk to me. Your description of the beauty of the mechanisms and designs. And of course the knowledge of the cinematography language. You have really talented people behind you. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Ridley Scott is your source of inspiration.
Had my Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 GMT for almost a year now - love it and it looks so good!
That will be my next purchase, I’m glad you like yours.
Yep. I love mine. A lot of people dunked on it. I’m assuming small wrist people. And unfortunately I had to send mine back after 3 months because the hour hand would randomly stop. Stuff happens. But no problems since. On wrist it pops so nice.
As someone new on the hobby, I really appreciate these videos and the in depth information you provide. Being more of a Seiko collector, I'm about to move to my first Swiss automatic movement for my birthday and one of the watches I have in sight is a PRX (I have a couple Tissot quartz movements), the other being a Mido Marine Star. All your insights on the characteristics of the movements, value, affordability, servicing, and so on make me feel more at ease to make a more educated choice than if I was on my own. Respect from Costa Rica, hope your channel continues growing and all your projects succeed, you deserve it.
The PRX automatic is a lovely watch with its tapesserie design on the dial. Do ensure you check the steel bracelet. The first one I bought in line. The edges were rough and uncomfortable. The other two were also unacceptable. The bracelet is integrated with the watch. I had to return them and chose a gentleman instead. Good look with your search.
Great video and perfect timing, since I needed help picking my next Tissot. Guess it'll be a Seastar 1000... Already got a Gentleman, and it works perfectly.
Bought a PRS 516 chronograph and have absolutely loved it. I love cars as well and it’s basically a racing watch making me fall in love with it more
The Tissot T-Touch Solar was my first grail watch, and I was fortunate to buy one for well under $500.00 because it was a discontinued 2016 "Estavayer" model created to celebrate the Swiss Alpine games. It has a unique (at the time) dial with a edelweiss pattern. The T-Touch touch screen is still novel, and I love that the watch is solar powered. I replaced the leather and fabric strap with the more traditional rubber T-Touch strap and it has become my weekend warrior.
I also have a PRX powermatic 80 that I purchased on a cruise for $505.00 and when I applied my $125 non refundable "cruise credit" I walked out of the shop with a powermatic 80 for $380 out of pocket.
My first adult watch was a Tissot PR 50 Titanium...some 20+ years ago. Other than replacing the batteries a few times, its been flawless. Love its light weight (watch & bracelet) and the slim case the quartz movement makes possible. The sapphire crystal is great and especially as I wear my watch with dial on the inside (vrs top) of my wrist. No scratches whatsoever. Still a favorite to wear daily. Assume its the predecessor of today's Gentleman Titanium
My daily driver is a Tissot Visodate (older 40mm dial version). It looks great in casual or dressy situations and has remained very accurate over the past few years. So glad I got it before they increased the size!
I have had this watch for over two years now. While a very good looking watch, it loses about 2min a day, which is really disappointing.
My first Swiss automatic watch was a Tissot Carrera calibre 16 (brown dial) given to me from the parents on graduation 2013. Still love it til this day.
I just found your channel coming straight from Antonio Centeno's Real Men Real Style community (we also show off our watches in the Skool group). People, we really need to get this guy his 1 million subscriber plate.
Great content, as always👌
I have the original white dial Visodate 40mm. Recently serviced, running beautifully. I love the vintage logo which I think they should adopt across the range.
My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
My dad gave his tissot watch for me, it has classic vintage look with leather strap i love it so much
So many good choices here, my picks are the PRX, Le Loche, and Chemin. Gentleman is great too, but hoping Tissot will upgrade the bracelet a bit on future releases.
Great video! I would love to see something similar on Omega.
Proud owner of a Powermatic 80 Tradition Open Heart. Spent a year debating on what my first watch would be. Very happy and looking to get another.
I own multiple Tissots. Including the much maligned prx. "Oh it is cheap it has plastic parts!" The much famed G shocks are mostly plastic. The furniture on all modern combat rifles is plastic. The delrin slats and bearings used in many belt conveyor systems are plastic. Is plastic the best material for watch internals? No. But it is more than good enough for components like pallet forks and escspement wheels.
I have the prx 80 automatic in black. By far my favorite watch. So nice I bought the all gold prx 80 auto as well
Great video. I own 3 Tissot watches-quartz pocket watch, Lepine mechanical pocket watch and a GLX PRO Quartz Chronograph in gold finish. My favorite for everyday is the pocket watch as it is virtually indescribable and my gold tone chronograph for dress occasions. My bucket list watch is the skeleton pocket watch. I would strongly recommend the insurance policy as things happens.
Great video as always! I am considering buying the Tissot Classic Dream. This wasn't featured in the video and I was wondering about opinions regarding that watch?
Great video teddy ❤ God bless you sir 🎉
I really enjoy watching your reviews. Is it possible when you are recommending watches for men, that you do a brief recommendation for what would look good/nice/ appropriate for a women. Thank you
Great video with a lot of interesting information. Well done sir! 😎
Although I have more influential brands in my collection, today I'm wearing my Tissot PRX in glacier blue. As a budget watch, it's comfortable and nice looking. I like it.
I really enjoyed the overview of Tissot. Well done 🥃
Tissot was my first Swiss watch brand, I got the PRX and then the Seastar 1000. Even though I'm now building my collection out, I can't help but feel that I'd be nowhere without my beloved Tissot's.
After looking into getting my 1st real Swiss watch I decided on Tissot as a big fan of Moto GP (major sponsor) Browsing YT one day came across Teddy B & ended up ordering a Tissot gentlemen spring of 2020 (yeah-lockdown purchase)
Also bought a diver (I actually only swim or use a dive board) a GMT as I do travel a couple of times a year (my excuse for the purchase) & a cheap(ish) solar quartz for work over the last couple of years.
Tissot stiĺl gets worn a couple of times a week, mainly as a dress watch.
Once again, another informative, honest yet surprisingly swift overview of a very extensive collection, love the explanation of the different calibers and the deflating of the rather stupid, "Tissot make plastic disposable movements" rubbish. I have my eye on my first, dressy Swiss movement watch.. leaning on the Gentlemen - the better quality movement is a winner, but also love the PRX
I just got the PRX chrono, awesome watch, great wrist presence
Finally got my first automatic swiss watch. Went with the gentleman open heart and i cant be happier. Only issue is I might have a watch problem now. lol
Great selection. I have many but looking forward to seeing what they release in 2024. Thank you!
I’ve got 4 Tissot watches, love the variety of styles the brand has. Did buy a couple which I returned because they didn’t fit right. But value for money it’s up there with Seiko. Thinking about getting another one actually
The No1 choice for affordable Swiss watches, no question. Always been happy with the brand and what it offers for the money going back almost 30 years. In fact I've bought both a PRX and a PR100 over the last couple of months and they are amazingly good.
Nice one Teddy, at long last someone who explained that a complete Tissot service is a reasonable price that includes movement parts or module change if needed. Tissot also give a 2 year warranty on the work done. I have a few Tissot watches including the PRX, a PRX chrono along with some older models that are not PM80. My old Seastar 1000 PM80 is still running at the same accuracy as when I bought it over 5 years ago at about -5 seconds or so a day. My experience from my watches is that they don't drift too much from the original accuracy but when they do I guess it'll be service time.
I have a PRX chrono as a daily driver and I am extremely satisfied. However, I have mixed feelings about Powermatic 80 movement. Although it is accurate; there were some series with my Seastar 2000. These problems made me to sell it 6 months after purchasing it. On the other hand, I bought a Gentleman two years ago as a gift without facing any problem so far.
Every time I see the Gentleman I get excited. LOVE that watch, don't have one (yet) but it's been on my list for awhile.
Go and get it eventually. You won’t regret it. Fantastic watch.
@@koolpep quartz or auto version?is the auto worth the price gap?thank you
🙌
@@abdulrahmanassous2873 Hi - for me it definitively is, silicium hairspring, 80 hours power resevre, no abttery changes, rock solid performance and of course some little mechanical wonder ticking away for years makes it a no-brainer for me. However, if you don't "feel" mechanical movements and just want a solid watch with no fuss, the quartz looks and feels pretty much the same. So no wrong choice here.
My 1st “real watch” was a Tissot T touch in 1999 from there I got an Omega 2531.80 and then my Planet Ocean. I don’t have the OG T Tough anymore because Tissot couldn’t fix it but they sold me a brand new model for $250 and it’s my daily beater so Tissot is close to my heart and I bought my model a Tissot quartz for Christmas and he has worn it daily for close to 7 years.
Recently bought myself one. Love it to bits. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the strap so made a custom one for it 😁
THANKS,,,GREAT INFO.
The Tissot Seastar 2000 T blue dial and blue strap is really good looking. I must have a try too see whether match my 6.5" wrist.
Praying for a Powermatic version of the 36mm Seastar 1000. Its one of the best looking divers and i think it would be a huge success because of its size, kinda rare these days in a diver. Tissot listened the crowd last time and gave us the Powermatic in the 35mm PRX so maybe its gonna happen.
Got a PRX quartz as my first! Seastar or Le Locle next..
Got the seastar kinda turned into my daily for entirety of the summer. Feels great, works great, highly recommend
Receiving a Tissot watch as a gift was initially a moment of joy, marking one of the rare instances where a present seemed to hold both value and prestige. However, this sentiment quickly shifted, transforming what was once a symbol of luxury into a source of regret.
Tissot very quickly became one of my favorite brands. I loved their Ballade with the knurled bezel and I'd love to see them bring that back sometime. But I'm also eyeing that new Chemin des Tourelles. Thanks for another great video.
The Ballade must be the lowest price chronometer on the market, aside from its great appearance. I started with a PR100 auto for $250 and was highly impressed. I also have 2 Omegas which I rarely wear anymore.
I bought a PR100 in the 90s, Titanium case, heavy solid steel band. still have it. A few batteries later its still good.
Love this. I wear a chemin de turrelles for my daily. I’d live to see a similar treatment of seikos presage lineup
The ballade its also a great option with the cosc certification 👍🏻
Great video! I got my first swiss automatic watch about 2 weeks ago, and that was the Seastar 2000 in deep blue and bracelet. I was a little nervous about the size and wearability, but it turned out to be just fine.
Question: Is it COSC certified?
I have the gentleman, the prx and the chemin de tourelle and love them
Teddy, this was a fantastic video. Very well done. Would love to see this done for Hamilton as well.
Another great video. I bought the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic after you video on that watch, I love it.
Now I am considering a PRX or a Christopher Ward The Twelve.
Thoughts?
I just bought my first Tissot I didn’t want to spend more than 400 for my first time so I decided to go for the all gold classic dream quartz watch I love it now I’m looking for my second watch with a higher price point
Awesome video, as usual! 👏🏼👏🏼
Just wish you have talked about the T-Race family (movements and characteristics)… I know it’s very specific, but just a few words, mainly about the movements used in automatic chronographs would be nice… Anyway, congratulations!
My only Swiss watch is the thin, simple and elegant PR100 quartz with a silver dial. It's perfect for an evening out when I want something tasteful and functional. Slips nicely under the cuff.
I bought an PRX Powermatic 80 three years ago, wore it almost everyday the first two years and occasionally the past year. I haven't had it serviced at all so far and it still measured at a fantastic +4 spd today.
Tissot may not have exotic complications or exclusive materials unlike other swiss watchmakers but they sure know how to make a reliable, good-looking, and most importantly affordable watch.
There really isn't any reason to get any other brand of watch, other than brand variety. Tissot has got to be the entry into the watch game and having it be the only choice wouldn't be wrong either.
So my first like getting into watches watch was bought in Paris (I’m from New York) I proposed to my now wife there and wanted an engagement gift I had about 800 bucks to spend on a watch and I got a Tissot Prx Powermatic 80 green dial i bought at the Tissot store on champs-elysées I love this watch I love it so much that my wedding watch is another Tissot a Chemin Des Tourelles so now forever Tissot will always hold a special place in my heart it also sparked my love for watches I know own like 20 watches 😂
I enjoy the channel, and this is the first time I’ve actually had a comment for you. At eight minutes you mention the cheapest certified Swiss chronometer you’ve heard of. I do have a certified PR 100 from Tissot that was about half the amount of the one you showed. Thought you may find that interesting.
Own 3 Tissot's...love all of them
Tissot is an amazing brand and correctly said by you. This is a gateway to Swiss luxury brand if you say. Was very happy to own a green PRX power mat 80. Amazing video teddy
How do we know which Powermatic 80 watches have the plastic pallet fork and escapement wheel? To be specific does the Sideral use plastic parts?
We discuss the different powermatics in the video 👍🏻
@@TeddyBaldassarre sorry I added does the Sideral have the plastic parts or is it just the lower priced Tissot watches?
Non-metalic synthetic parts = plastic 13:06
All tissot watches with the powermatic 80 except for the gentleman has plastic parts.
@@petercampbell3828 I caught that.
Great video as always Teddy. One thing that's always challenging for me is getting ahold of a nice watch for my small wrist. 35mm is the biggest by far I can go for. Tissot fortunately has a very extensive catalogue, although it's not necessarily the case for other brands like Grand Seiko. Could you please pass on the message in the next Watches and Wonders summit? Women also do LOVE watch collecting 😂
I feel like everyone, including women and teens, can wear at least a 38mm watch. I've seen plenty women even wearing 42mm watches (speedy for example) and it surely does look like a bigger watch but never too big. Wear it a bit loose and it looks just fine. Also pleny women make great watch content on youtube trying out watches around 40mm ans it doesn't look odd to me.
To me, 36 is the universal fitment for 99.9 of wrists, not to stay a bigger one doesn't have its place
