I think you guys are overreacting. This isn’t supposed to be a luxury Swiss piece. It’s entry level and isn’t supposed to check all the boxes.
You get solid construction and build quality, an elegantly casual design, sapphire front and back and a basic automatic movement for $300.
Y’all are acting like it’s a $3000.00 rip off.
Given: "Swatch claims that Sistem51 assembly is the first and only mechanical movement with a fully-automated watch manufacturing process" even $300 seems steep. This is a new ETA, I would prefer the eta 2892-A2. I wonder what the markup is on manufacture (before marketing and accounting entries of the Swatch group).
Got the white dial version for $190 on black friday at Jomashop. Super happy with the quality, especially the dial finish!
Just bought one for my father today for his birthday... I hope he likes it.
Everyone always look at the design flow of watch making. The solid purpose of the watch is to measure time as accurate as possible. You can manufacture the most beautiful watch and use the most precious materials, but if the caliber doesn’t deliver the best accuracy then the watch is useless, it just a fashion accessory. This watch delivers great accuracy for the price. I think that it was a good achievement using great technology. Less than -/+10 seconds a day is very impressive against Seiko 4R series for example. I read in a blog that (Europa Star managed-4 +2.5 seconds) crazy. One step further and you can get chronometer certified. And just for a few bucks.
for a casual collector on a budget this watch has my interest. I like the industrial styling that's not over the top with the elegant watch face, the auto is a nice touch and obviously one of the more accessible for Tissot. It sucks the finishing has less to be desired. I have a titanium gmt and it is quite comfortable, light, and easy on the skin aside from the slightly loose fit.
Hi, I just wonder if the movement is as durable as other ETA movement?
Is it true that you cannot service this movement due to there being no screws in the back?!? I saw another review and he said this
Does the bezel sit higher than the glass? It's hard to tell from the video
3:55 The way the seconds hand twitches about when you adjust the time is jarringly horrid.
Tetlee it really hurts. But I wonder if it’s something with this piece or with the model.
My new Tissot T race Swissmatic has the same movement,and happened the same when i turned it backwards...the ETA C15.111 is moves that way! I was so worried the first time i saw this happened on my new Tissot!
I just got this watch after watching all reviews. This is the best sapphire crystal, Swiss made with swatch watch automatic movement at a very reasonable price. Amazon has it on 48% off MSRP, so grab it while you can..
i own this watch, love it
A great watch for the asked price! Better than any Seiko in that price range.
Very funny, this a cheaply made watch trying to take advantage of the Tissot brand with no success, even the fit and finish is horrid, try looking for Seiko Presage line in this price range to compare and see the feedback on them to realize how much you are wrong
@@mehdihaimar2561 lol man, this is a $200 watch...
What’s your wrist size??
Stainless steel sports stunner?
Super gorgeous. Never mind the marker.
Sb Sb I agree.
I like this watch very mucho
The bezel and lack of hacking kills it for me.
Super.👍
The movement is derived from the System51 robot-made movement in the Swatch Sistem51 watch. In addition to being machine-made, this movement is considered non-serviceable aka disposable. That means, it’s likely that Tissot (Swatch Group) is going to install an entirely new movement for each service instance, rather than replace necessary parts and oil, etc
@Marian Kotúč Would you recommend another watch over this? I was planning to buy this because i think it looks nice and it's automatic. Do you have any suggestions in this price range that are better than this watch?
@Marian Kotúč alright thanks, i was looking at the tissot seastar 1000 automatic. But its a bit more expensive, can this one be repaired?
@Marian Kotúč thank you, then I Will probably get the seastar
@Marian Kotúč , If the movement damages, Tissot changes the entire movement. So, it's not disposable, in my opinion.
The exhibition case back and finish of the movement are quite nice. Also, I like the style of clasp on the bracelet.
Tissot V8 Swissmatic (Yes, made in Switzerland.): Solid everyday watch for this Chef! Respectable maker. New for USD$263 on Amazon, 7/2022. (Tip: Also buy a watch band sizing kit for $12.) Great value-priced entry into Swiss mechanical/automatics (i.e., not quartz, no battery inside, no manual crown winding option; powered by body movements that rotate an internal, weighted device => Swissmatic). Six beats per second, 19-jewel movement. Clean 1960's retro/sport appearance. (VERY subtle [to no] automotive visual queues.) Easy to read dial. Very nice 'matte' texture to dial face. Simple date. Sapphire flat windows front/back. Solid, brushed SS case with crown guards. Hefty, polished crown. Solid, brushed SS bracelet. Good overall weight (you know it's there). Butterfly clasp with exterior etched branding (center). Cons: Biggest-> Indexing is NOT perfect! Second hand difficult to stop when setting. Not rated for scuba diving. Bezel is fixed. No small or micro adjustments on bracelet. No illumination (lum) anywhere on dial. Sub-par quality lum on hands. Push-in crown (not screw-in). Not many mechanics to see through rear window. //Conclusion - I definitely enjoy this Swissmatic without much worry. Good purchase! Feels special to wear (especially given it's a Swiss-made, name-brand mechanical at this price). Final Thought: Consider buying used in excellent condition from a reputable seller for ttl. USD$100 - $150 (?).
But aren't these movements non repairable?
What a phenomenally underwhelming timepiece. I really would expect more from the Swatch group and Tissot.
Swatch own Omega as well, what's your point
I'm looking for an affordable automatic watch... With good movement, not a disposable one, any ideas?
Seiko 5 SNKA05K...is available at only 100-110 usd in india..
So it will less than 100 usd in europe or US
nice watch and vidieo
I really like Tissot, I'm new to these watch collecting stuffs and I like the design but please, can anyone explain to a watch noob like me why everybody in the comment section hate this watch?
Thank you!.
2 years later and no answer yet, I'd like to know too
@@eazy___4032 2 weeks later and we're still here
1 day later and we still here
Because it’s movement isn’t serviceable, when that caliber starts to fail, your watch is doomed. It’s a glorified Swatch.
@@cookiemonstahmetal what. It's like use and throw?
I was told that Swatch owns Tissot. If my Tissot automatic stops working, where do I send it to be diagnosed?
on the garbage dump
If the bezel was movable I may be interested
If this is the direction Swatch are taking with the Tissot brand then it's in big trouble. Looks like a classic example of cutting corners to fool the customer.
Swatch owns Omega as well... are you kidding me😂
@@americanraptor8391 I'm talking about the Tissot brand, bud.
Хочу купить такие
you hailed to mention the lug width.
Is this too big for a 6.5” wrist?
It might be. I have 7 inch wrists and this watch is just about at the limit of what I could wear.
Waow, the swissmatics have 72h power reserve ?? :O
Is it possible to manual wind it?
Yes you can, I own this model
@@vivek36leo Thanks!
1:38 he tried to click to focus lol
😆
If anyone is watching this in 2022 right now, amazon has the white dial version of this watch for $245. So grab it if you see it!
IMHO Tissot is devaluating the brand with this kind of offering. I own a Visodate and a PR 100 Powermatic 80 COSC and those are the complete opposite of this one, offering great quality and solid movements at affordable prices.
Has any of the commenters taken in his hands this watch?
I have black version but I have to give back. This werk cannot be fixed. you have to buy new one.
No screw down crown
the 7S26 movement in the $100 Seiko is much better the single screw sistem 51 bs. Come on Tissot.
nonsecular13 it isn't a normally sistem 51, Tissot make this ETA caliber better for their own watches. But it is right, you can't repair it. No problem, after the guarantee you can become a new ETA for it for small money. For me it is okay. I like my cheap Tissot watch. 😉
I never thought I would see a Swatch Watch cased into a Tissot. Yes, I know it's the same Group. Swatch just ruined the Tissot brand name, Good job.
The only movement to have in this case style is the quartz movement as the mechanical is horrible as is seen in your video. I have this watch and for 80.00 to 100.00 dollars U.S. is a good bye. Entry level. These folks here know their watches and i listen to them EXP. Thanks
This looks like a very lower end Tissot. Something to buy just for the sake of the Brand name...
Non screw down crown with 100 m WR is useless for a Sports Watch.
The case looks like a Vostok and it has a shit movement, WR and QC. No thanks, I'll buy a Vostok for £50.
this is basically a disposable mechanical watch
This movement cannot be repaired or even opened for repair
Purpose of mechanical watches to cross generation's which a simple Seiko 5 does makes this watch no sense
True, but with service cost in many places, Seiko 5 are disposable.
Joseph Coates if one has sentimental value to it like I have with my dad's Seiko one would like to get it repaired
Never the less base Seiko 5 is close to 50-60$
Sistem 51 150$ if anyone considers to change the movement.
No Swiss manufacturer can undercut Japanese watch makers even though having said that both do things brilliantly in there own way
I agree with the sentimental part of it and that Seiko have better quality, its just when it comes to inexpensive mechanical watches, there is a oint in which they are disposable. I have a Seiko 5 I wore my entire time in the military, it sits in a box now because it isn't worth servicing.
What do you mean ? You can't repair it yourself or even a pro can't do it ? Because in Tissot's shop you can fully maintenance it for arround 100€. And if you are juste concerned about the battery it cost arround 45€
It's a pinned movement, open the back, throw away the movement, drop in a new one, that's the service for that model.
Quick correction: the “T” on the second hand actually stands for “Trash”, not “Tissot.” Otherwise great review.
austin cramer ROFL so true dude. Piece of crap garbage.
K Kao why do think this ?
True in this particulre case
An unfinished work.
All these minutes and NO good look at the crown :(
boring!
Swatch group is destroying classic brands such as tissot and longines
If you bought their watches 10-11 years ago, they were a major threat to big names like TAG because the movement was good enough to come close in accuracy without costing $1,500. Their automatics sold for like $5-600!
I'm calling this the Tissot Crapmatic.
TEESO. It's pronounced "TEESO"
What a yawner
What a boring piece. No visual or mechanical excitement whatsoever. Swatch are ruining this brand.
Jesus guys it's been years. Fix your fucking audio.
A Seiko 5 is better than this POS. Who wants to buy a watch you can't service, Tissot for the fail.
I managed one whole minute of the video before your pronunciation of “Tissot” pissed me off too much.
Just a quick question: Are only Jews allowed to work at ABTW?
LMFAO
i have a question, are you a nazi scumbag?
Why is that even a thing?
fx campbell - Ariel Adams, Aaron Shapiro... see a pattern? 😉
for the record, i am not antisemitic, i just like hilarious comments, which this was. lmao
Horrible movement, a disposable watch.
Actually I can’t imagine anyone disposing of this watch and if the movement was ever disposed of it would be due to its incredibly affordable replacement cost ($120.00 from Tissot), cheaper than a low end servicing. If you combine the classic look, the build quality and its amazing accuracy, it’s a bargain IMO. I love it.
@@Ken-gv6sb In my opinion tissot is wrong with these movements, in a swatch they can go, but not in a tissot.
This movement is an insult to the watches’ world!!!!! Produced with shitty components and it cannot be repaired!!!!! The watch is nice but the mechanism is rubbish. In this range of price it’s better to get a Seiko 5, an economic series from Seiko but their movements are very well made. This movement is electro welded, so for a minimal problem easily repairable you have to replace the entire movement. This movement is a derivation of the super economic Automatic Swatch System 51. It doesn’t worth the money it costs
OMG, this thing is so ugly. It is sad to see the direction Tissot is taking.
You can do miracles with 400$ these days if you dig a little bit into micro-brands. It’s a pass for me.
Would you recommend another watch over this? I was planning to buy this because i think it looks nice and it's automatic. Do you have any suggestions in this price range that are better than this watch?
I'm also looking for an entry level automatic Swiss made watch... Any idea?
