Great all-rounder. Tissot is such a solid brand for the first “serious” watch for a budding enthusiast.
That’s exactly why I’m here watching this video today lol
Purchased the 18K bezel gentleman and couldn't be happier. For the money this is a superb watch. Thanks for your informative reviews.
Thank you for watching, Bobby!
I bought the black dial, 18k gold version with the leather strap and couldn't be happier. It was hard to find in my location but well worth the price. It's also very underrated for what it is considering the specs and the build quality alongside the company's history.
Added the blue dial version to the my collection following your review Teddy. One of my favourites. Keep up the Great work.
How is the lume on this? I got mine delivered from an AD yesterday and it is absolutely atrocious. I mean that, unless I "charge" it with a direct bright light (think flashlight or putting it directly in front of a lamp), it has ZERO luminescence in the dark. I'm wondering if the one I have is defective?
I tried on this watch and compared it to a rolex datejust, 2 similar hamiltons and certina.... the Tissot reminds me of a mix between an omega aqua terra and rolex datejust but it is definitely a great watch for the price.... I am leaning towards the datejust but it is more than 12 times as much at the AD.... this is a quality option if you want a solid daily wearer
@TeddyBaldassare Literally picked up my phone and your video came on! Study break with Teddy and watches!? Refreshing indeed!! 😁😃😍
Just got mine today! It's my first watch ever, and I am in love...
My wife got one that feature the same Powermatic 80 movement...unbelievably precise..around + 3 sec / day !!
Bought it from their downtown store and they threw in a *FREE* watch service. Can't ask for more than that really. She gets so many compliments.
It's funny. My 15 dollar Casio is even more precise than that.
I really like your channel! Great for stimulating the watch interest we all have and for reviews in general. Thinking about buying the Gentleman myself. Can you do a video about Certina DS-1 Big Date? Or maybe you have, im new to this channel
I just got mine delivered yesterday. Great video
Love, love, love this watch! It's on my short list for my next watch.
I'm contemplating on it🤔
Bought mine yesterday, haven't taken it off. It has that rolex look and feel from a solid Swiss company. I chose this brand over the tudor 1926
I acquired the silver dial. Its a great daily wearer for the office. It is a bit of a scratch magnet unfortunately. It was driving me anxious at first but now I don't mind the authentic "relic'ing".
I bought the Titanium Modell with Quartz movement. A great looking everyday watch, so light abd comfortable on the wrist. But soon I will add the Powermatic with green Dial. A silicium spiral is hard to find below 5K.
But I also would love to have the Ball Engineer III Marvelight with tritium lume.
...yea
....first world problems.
I have the Green dial. Looks amazing and it is super accurate - in the same range as my Rolex and Tudor.
I bought the silver dial with a leather strap. It is a gorgeous watch. The details on the dial are amazing at this price point. By far, this is my most accurate watch (+1 sec/day)...even better than some chronometers that I own. Originally I bought this watch to be an everyday wear piece. But this watch is so beautiful that I now reserve it for "special occasions". It never fails to draw compliments.
Wow, that's more accurate than some spring drives.
How is the lume on this? I got mine delivered from an AD yesterday and it is absolutely atrocious. I mean that, unless I "charge" it with a direct bright light (think flashlight or putting it directly in front of a lamp), it has ZERO luminescence in the dark. I'm wondering if the one I have is defective?
@@paulsmithchannel No, the lume is pretty weak. The indices are beautiful but they really dont have a lot of space for placement of lume. To be honest, I didn't really expect it to be much different.
My uncle gave me this watch, it's literally the best watch I own. The best part is it's extremely versatile & you always feel secure about it's water resistance.

@@paulsmithchannel The lume is subpar & very dim compared to decent quality watches. But I honestly never had much of a problem with it. I guess may be I really don't get out much these days, I don't notice it much 😂
@@ShafkatRKhan do you have a blue dial? I want to go with black so it doesn't stick out as much . Can blue be with everyday wear?
@@bencoupar1039 sure, the blue one can be everyday wear. It's blue color is very discreet.
@@ShafkatRKhan blue looks amazing . That's why I'm asking. Is it too out there ? Or do you find it is nice for everything ? Thanks man
Hah! I know why this video popped up on my screen. Last night, I purchased a Hamilton I have been wanting from a local jewelry store. Sorry Teddy, they had the exact watch I wanted...you'll get the next one bro...haha.
In any case, I had THIS exact watch (The Tissot in the review) in my cart. But then I saw the Bulova Sinatra edition, and just had to have that. So this watch moved from my cart, to my wish list. Point is, the "cookies" know I was attracted to this exact watch, so they sent me to you to close the deal.
Give me a month to finish paying for the ones I did buy last night. I will definitely be coming for this.
Beautiful affordable watch Teddy. Thank U 👍
Wearing mine right now, love it!
Yep, I brought it and love it, great value for an automatic swiss.

I really like this watch, to the point that I'm planning on making the blue dial model my next watch purchase. Two of my grail watches (price point dependant) are the Omega Aqua Terra and Vacheron Constantine Overseas, but spending ages looking for a sub-$1K alternative nothing has come close to the Gentleman Powermatic 80 (Seiko SARB033 came very close, before it was discontinued, but at 38mm it was too small for me; and I'd rather this movement over a 6R15).
I know I wanted the Gentleman from the moment I first saw it, but it took me months to decide between the blue or black dial. I was originally pulled towards this black model, because I love a matching date, and my only issue with the dial design is the date position (it sits too far in from the edge; a common 2824 issue on 40+ watches). Then I saw the blue dial in person, and that settled it fairly quickly, white date disk be damned.
I love the size (40mm is my minimum becauseof 8in wrists), and I can't bring myself to complain about the bracelet considering its price (although I love to try it with a Milanese bracelet, but they're irritatingly hard to find in 21mm).
I liked this watch since I first saw it. Beautiful, but the hour and minute hands bug me a little. They could have better detail.
I just got one yesterday! :-) super happy with it and it feels like a more expensive watch. (Which i own and can compare). Amazing value for money from Tissot here. Keep up the good work mate! Love your content.

@@paulsmithchannel check it out. Mine is good. Hands and dots around the batons are luminescent.
Hi Teddy I noticed that all your watch shots are indoors that show the watch in a premium way.... may I suggest that you also show a quick shot in a outdoor setting as well so we can see the normal look of that dial that most will see in a evey day case.
Nice review! Would not the polished mid links and the bezel be scratch magnets pretty soon?
Got this watch six months, so accurate, amazing, so precise.

@@paulsmithchannel What I do is bend my hand side ways and can see it clearly. It is a great watch, very accurate and a great price.
How about some love for the Mido Baroncelli III chronometer SI? You can find it online for a similar price on sale and it has a similar 80 hour movement that is COSC certified. Hard to beat that.
Looks like someone has already called it out but there so many similarities to the Aqua Terra 2503.50 / 231.10.39.21.
Wondering if I should save myself a few thousand...
A comparison video would be cool - mainly for my own benefit! Haha
I have it since February. Nothing to complain. Gotta love it !

@@paulsmithchannel only very minor lume and the tips.
@@Billyong9 does the lume you reference (at the tips) light up under normal conditions (i.e. you go from a well-lit room to a dark one, or turn the light out)? Mine does not show up at all, not even a little, unless I directly charge it before going into the darkness, which renders it useless under normal conditions because nobody (unless you're doing a watch review video) goes about shining a flashlight on their watch before going out at night or going to bed.
Very elegant every day watch, you can dress up or down it easily. Very good review as usual, informative and interesting, but I think will be better to give more time to show how the watch looks on the wrist.
I have the blue one. I’ve had it for six months now and it rarely leaves my wrist. Beautiful and very versatile.
Couldn’t be happier.
how's the accuracy? does it + seconds/day when wear/rest and minus seconds/day when rest/wear?
@@DarkPa1adin
I haven’t noticed any loss of accuracy while resting the watch.
The blue one is amazing.
I got a Gentleman Powermatic 80 with the blue dial back in May and I replaced the band with an Alligator skin band, real gator skin and not cowhide with gator impressions on it, as well as the option of a blue NATO strap, I wear it all the time and it’s definitely my favorite watch. One I recommend as a first Swiss automatic piece. It can be worn anywhere and looks good with most outfits.

@@paulsmithchannel The luminescent parts on mine needs some time under a bright light to be seen in low or no light. I’ll do a minute under the dome light in my car or a mini-flashlight. I don’t think your piece sounds defective, but indeed the luminescence of the watch isn’t to strong I think
Would love to see a review of the opaline 18k gold version on brown leather 😍
I have the blue and the black version - both on the original leather strap with butterfly clasp - I am very happy, because everything on these watches are stunning: accuracy (both +1/+3 sec. per day), the movement, the finishing on dial, hands, hour indices and case. I think this watch is very hard to beat unless you go to a higher pricerange - and even there it can be a competent ccombattant.
which color do you prefer? I think both are beautiful, I can’t decide which color I want to go with.
@@Lukes_ASMR I think both are beautiful too - therefore I bought both of them. I try do give them the same wristrime 🙂
You said in your other video that 22mm leather straps fit just fine in this watch. Anyway it would take nothing to trim a tiny bit from the strap with a knife, it’s only 1/2 mm each side.
On it's way... Thanks Teddy.
I bought this in quartz for my first Swiss made, (I like quartz) very happy 🙌🏻
Another boss of a watch if you want something a little more sportier but still a great watch to every occasion is the PRC200 auto non chronograph. Great legibility, but not super in your face, alsp a powermatic80
Love the videos!! Thanks for the quality content! Question, what are your thoughts on the Quartz version of this watch? I love the watch but feel like the quartz version would be more affordable for me. Thanks!
No matter how I look at it the polished centre links is a deal breaker for me even though I really like to get this piece very much. Secondly the odd sized lug width is a bit of leather upgrade struggle for me. What would you advise teddy?
How do you compare this against SARX045? Looking to start collecting and these two comes across as a good buy
cant tell if i like the certina day date pm 80 or this more
This is a great watch. Perfect for everyday.
Can't decide between the PRX powermatic or this powermatic Gentleman, basically the same price as well for an everyday wear.
solid watch, very solid, also a beauty
Gorgeous watch. Even a good sub for people obsessed with a SARB033, with a better movement.
I bought the silver dial watch for about 590usd from a local dealer, this one is a beauty.
As always thanks for the informative review :)

@@paulsmithchannel mine has the same lume issue
At this price point Tissot needs to have a screw down crown. It is good for water sports and also very elegant as a dress watch.
Hi Teddy, do you have any comments on the Tissot Carson Premium Powermatic 80? It doesn't seem to be as popular as the Gentleman Powermatix 80, even though it is quite charming itself. Thanks
How do you guys like this bracelet? Is it comfortable? Does it come unclasped easily? I've never had a bracelet like this and was curious. It looks like a great watch.
I bought one with blue dial now I see where the black could be on my list for next month. Great watch review as always.
Nice review. A question though. The super luminova colour is green or blueish/cyan? Some reviews show geen while others, like yours sort of indicates blue. So which is it? Are there different variants out there which I may not be aware of? Tks.
I wish the lug width was 20mm to have that perfect ease of finding straps. Still, it's hard to beat this for an every day watch under $1K. The Seiko SPB117 also comes to mind in this category, but is slightly more casual.
Exactly, why the extra millimetre? It would've made it such a great choice over the baby alpinists at such similar price point .
Teddy- sent you a message on IG. GREAT Tissot review!
Don’t like the butterfly clasp, and also the lack of distinguished marker at 12. For those reasons I’ll stick with my sarb035.
@Teddybaldassarre Looking for some advice. Considering buying either this Tissot or the Hamilton Viewmatic Jazzmaster. Looking for a versatile watch and trying to get better bang for my buck. If you had to pick 1 for a beginner, Which would you choose???
Which one would you choose? The gentleman or the tissot seastar?
Bought this watch with blue dial and black strap. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Teddy for the review.
I can't decide between blue or black
Stellar video
My Tissot gentleman powermatic 80 keeps time perfectly +/- 0 seconds per day
This one or the longines hydro conquest?
My next watch in the brown leather silver dial
Please review the Tissot Couturier powermatic 80
Compared to the Sarx045 it looks cheaply finished. How many half links are included?
Love this watch. I bought the blue dialed version over the summer after seeing your review and others. One thing I disagree with you on is the bracelet. I actually think it is quite nice--comfortable, looks great and is a perfect match to case, finishing is excellent, and it's got some nice heft to it. Based on your first review, I also tried it with a leather strap; but the part of the case hidden by the bracket is essentially unfinished. It is a very flat sort of bead-blast surface that appears nowhere else on the watch and seems like it is not meant to be exposed. That you could see this unfinished area with the strap bugged me, so sticking with the bracelet pretty much full time.
@Hxzrry I'm partial to blue, which is why I got the blue (wearing it now). It's a deep blue with a nice, subtle sunburst. Almost looks black in certain lighting situations, so goes with just about anything. Black might be slightly more versatile, but I also have a black faced Hamilton Khaki Field Auto, though the Hammy leans more casual with the leather or NATO straps I wear with it. The Tissot Gentleman with bracelet, IMO, leans more dressy. I tend not to wear the Tissot with jeans, but you could.

@@paulsmithchannel I mean, it’s nothing like my Christopher Ward diver, but if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can read my Tissot Gentleman. Just tiny lume dots for hours, and thin strips in hands, but I can still see it at night. Then again, I don’t have my contacts in then, so have to get just inches away to see anything. I also keep it in glass top case near window, so it gets plenty of sunlight. I do wear this one a lot-#1 or 2 during week. I’m sure if you’re seeing nothing at all on lume that Tissot would work with you.
Hi, I was wondering when you where the watch everyday (this one without the strap but yours with the metal bracelet), does the underneath metal bracelet pins to your wrist skin? Or if it is avoided with a smooth finish by Tissot? My only worry with getting a watch with a bracelet is I have had one that kept pinning on to my wrist underneath and adding one more link would have made the watch to get completely loose. By the time I remove it after the day, I used to have deep stuck cut marks of the underneath metal bracelet. If you could shed some light, much appreciated. Thank you.
@@MrAlestair I wear my bracelet version often and find it comfortable. Have it sized just right for me and no issues.
You deserve many more subscriber's. keep up the good work
Sería una alternativa al Seiko Sarb 033👍
hey man can you tell me how to gey one of your straps
I bought this last year after seeing your first review. It felt like an entry level Aqua Terra or DateJust.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I actually like the look better than the DateJust. I think the hands look better and I don’t like the Rolex cyclops (I own a submariner). I think the Aqua Terra looks nicer, but not 10 times nicer.
I’m keeping this and enjoying it.
Only gripe, I wish Tissot was applied. 39mm with 20mm lug would also be nice.
What color do you own?
@@yusef9850 I actually bought both the black and the blue model. I liked both, but the blue was MUCH nicer in my opinion. I returned the black.
My sister got one for me today and its amazing
Nice sister!
I just saw a green dial on Joma for $550…think I need to get it
I just exchanged the new movado series 800 in all gold with black dial for this watch! The movado looked awesome in person but being a quartz movement it really threw me off , much more intrigued by this watch even though I’m worried it will be too plain !
Hows the new watch been for you? Thinking about getting this one
If i didnt have a SARB, i would choose this.
I’m a big fan Teddy… but why not mention the Quartz version too? Not everything is about automatics.
Anyone have a 6.5” wrist that this fits well? Considering but may be too large lug to lug
Guys I'm not sure what should be my next watch. Tissot Gentleman or Mido Multifort, any suggestion?
LINDO ê ÓTIMO RELÓGIO
caseback is not screw-in?
I’ve had the silver dial version of this watch for about a year. Biggest drawbacks in my opinion are the non-screw down crown and 21mm lug width, but overall I love this watch and prefer it on the steel band. Wouldn’t recommend passing it off as a dress watch, but then again I wore it as a groomsman in a buddy’s wedding recently, so I’d agree it’s a great versatile option. Some ppl seem to have reservations about regulation on the powermatic 80s, but mine has been running bw 1-3 seconds fast a day out of the box, and that still holds true.

@@paulsmithchannel If I’m out in bright sunlight and walk inside where the lighting is a lot lower, I can see the lume glowing. The blue lume is attractive, but it’s not much to write home about in terms of its staying power tbh
Where's the lume shot?
Can I run this under water and use dish soap to clean?
I love tissot, its the best bang for the money Swiss brand. Also since ETA and Tissot are owned by swatch then the movement is in-house 😋
I'd throw Longines in that mix.
@@jimlittle5769 and MIDO 😊
*uggh* now I want another watch
Fantastic
Is this watch better than the Ballade?
I cannot for life of me understand why someone would go with the Seiko SARB when they could get a similar Swiss watch for little to no difference in the price.
I have the older Tissot Le Locle with the white guilloche dial, and it’s an excellent watch, without having to add the qualification ‘for the money’.
You should do both 16cm and 18cm try ons
hi teddy any plans to ship to the uk i would definitely perches a watch from you in future
Eventually yes for all brands, but for now only some we are shipping to the UK as well as all of our non exotic straps. Many brands are very territorial with their AD structures which is old fashioned beyond belief. I don't think they understand just because we are here in the US that we have customers everywhere. Certainly a priority for 2021!
does it glow in the dark?
Nice watch with an amazing review done by you
If I may offer a suggestion just pair the watch your reviewing with a couple of straps of your own to give an idea to your viewers to help them choose
If they would make this one in 36-38mm it would be perfect
I got the silver dial version. Amazing watch for the money!
the silver dial is the best looking one total class mate
I have the blue dial, but seriously thinking about the silver as well - but am contemplating the SARX033 - can’t decide between them.
@@drzaius844 Get the tissot. You'll have no regrets! Imo i prefer seikos only for my divers :)

Any recommendation to remove scratches on the bezel? Thanks! :)
Im curious about that too. The shiny bezel can be easly damaged with long term use isn’t it? Only question in my mind, otherwise i’ll pull the triger, get it! :)
Cape Cod Polishing cloths work wonders - only on the polished surfaces however.
Teddy, I'm curious what your thoughts about the quartz version of this watch are? It can be found for about half the price, and if the case and finishing are of a similar calibre to this one then it seems like it might be pretty good value quartz watch for around the $300 range.
I agree. It seems a big premium to purchase the automatic, in the same way the 18k version costs DOUBLE the steel version...
the promo doesnt work
Torn between blue or black. Which would you guys choose?
@Hxzrry I went with black. Not mad at it..
Looks like a bigger version of my Tissot PR50.
