- Tissot is a brand with a lot of heritage. Today it is owned by Swatch Group and is the entry-level Swiss brand. Motorsports play a big part in Tissot's history and the PRS 516 is a integral part of the brand's take on motor inspired timepieces.

Tissot gives great value for money and suitable for many watch tastes. I have a PRC200 chronograph in a Caribbean Limited Edition.
As Hamilton watches move upmarket, Tissot is the real affordable Swiss watch option. I have always loved Tissot, particularly their vintage chronographs. Thanks for the review, Anders.
Just got mine, this watch is beautiful and looks good with different straps
Have had this one for about a year now. Many others have been added to my collection, but time and time again i find it on my wrist. It's different, it's got the racing vibe (steering wheel rotor) and is sans the typical chrono complication which is fine. A "beater" ? Great dial, PM 80 with Nivachron, ceramic bezel, quality bracelet...hardly. They now sell for $450.00 and it's worth every penny
i have the red second hand version (white chapter ring) with a red stitched black leather rally strap.. lovely timeless design and notable swiss quality. Purchase was a no brainer considering the movement too
Great review, thank you
Wow good value for money 💰
Plus great video
I've had a few powermatics and they always seem well regulated.
Thanks for the Demo
Hi Anders. Another great video from your side. Interesting take on a ‘sports’watch from a brand I otherwise would never have given a second thought. 👍
Hi Jakin. Thank you very much. Tissot does have a versatile collection.
Best regards,
Anders
Great review of a superb watch - I have the exact same watch and am so impressed with the build quality. Feels very high end and equal to a Tag in my opinion. In fact, I was so impressed with this watch that I recently bought the triple seconds version (T100.428.16.051.00) which is another fantastic watch from Tissot. By the way, you say that the sapphire glass is completely flat but it I would say it has a subtle dome to it - Nicely done.
Hi Anders, thank you for the review. This piece now came out of nowhere and became a nice favourite, lol.
I have an idea/feedback for the channel. Hopefully when this Corona crisis is over, I think It'd be a nice feature if you go to Swissexpo or similar watch exhibitions and shoot a vlog for subscribers. You may set meetings with sales staff to shoot some exclusive professional content, rather than random over the counter videos that we see seldom.
I think it'd be nice to see you giving your first impressions on watches from different budget leagues. Thus you can introduce more hi-end pieces with relatively lower budget. I suppose such vlogs may bring new subscribers, as well. It's a budgetary questions at the end but perhaps it's worth it. Please consider.
Again, thank you for the nice review. Regards,
Umut
Hi Umut. Thank you for your kind words. I would love to go to one of the watch fairs. They can just write me :)
My channel is only a hobby. I have a real career besides the channel, so it’s all about pure enthusiasm for me.
Best regards,
Anders
I have the same model but it has a carbon fiber bezel and a black rubber strap. My version also has blue accents instead of yellow. It's definitely a really cool watch, very accurate and comfortable to wear. I also use it as my daily watch since it's so versatile. Cheers.
I am about to buy that version. It's costing closer to 600 though. Real nice watch.
Excellent video
Nice watch, excellent value. I'd prefer it without the day date tho. Cheers mate 👍🏻
It's currently selling for 375. All watches have gone up, not because of the value of the watch, but the devalue of the US Dollar.
It’s hard to find it for less than 450 now.
@@Keepingupwiththewalsh_girls Absolutely
Powermatic sweep always looks jerky to me, shame they stopped the 2824-2 movement.
Im thinking about 3 circles small seconds version of Prs516.I dont like chronographs personally,so it could be nice substitute of a racing watch instead.And maybe buy a Rollball bracelet from Strapcode 🙂
I just bought the triple seconds watch last month with the red detail. It is awesome and very clever. Looks great on the wrist and exceptional build quality.
Wow
Beautiful watch, but, just for the sake of true, there are 4 different Powermatic 80 movement types, all based on ETA C07 caliber (2824-2). So, not actually "in-house" but "in-group" :-). The Powermatic 80 is not equipped with a regulating system. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the movement is impossible to adjust, but good luck finding a watchmaker who will want to work on it...
I love mine, but it's on a racing leather strap. The bracelet makes it look dull.
I have this watch with black face and red second hand ..love the look of watch ..but the problem is it gains about a minute a day ..where as my longines is pretty much spot on give or take a second or 2 ..any thoughts
perhaps it was never adjusted properly, unusual for Tissot. Their quality is unimpeachable! Mine is spot on. Yes love my Longines Spirit Zulu GMT which is COSC
That's a heck of a manual for a three-hander.
Makes for some great reading on a Sunday :)
it took me a while figuring out the date-wheel
I was amazed seeing only a "0" 😂
( I'm just not that smart and have a bad screen tablet )
😂 It is a bit strange with two options - the normal day display and the one with the numbers. I believe it’s made to accomodate non-English speaking.
Best regards,
Anders
@@TimeAndCrown well it was just I didn't notice the '1'
before the 0
of course a bit later in the video when it zoomed in
it became clear it was my mistake.
Does the bezel rotate? What do you think of the pop off back?
Hi Steven. No, it’s not a divewatch so no rotating bezel.
Best regards,
Anders
Where did you find it at 300? Everywhrere is 600/700
I love this watch but now it costs about $1400 (USD)
Since they turned down the vph to 21k the second hand movement isnt as smooth as that of one with 28k vph. Dont you have an issue with that since movement is why one would buy an automatic watch in the first place?
Hi Vishal. No I think the lower bph is a good trade for getting 80 hours of power reserve compared to the 40-42 you get with the ETA 2824. But more movements now offer 4hz beat rate with 70-72 hours of power reserve so Swatch Group need to update the Powermatic movement.
Best regards,
Anders
@@TimeAndCrown i see that perspective as well.. i have ordered this watch and will arrive today., hope to like it! This is the best i could get for an automatic watch of an established brand with all the features that it comes with under $400
@@TimeAndCrown the watch arrived and i am really liking it!! Its a little bulky but looks solid. This is my first tissot and seems to have all the features that i was looking for from an automatic watch!
Though I appreciate the review in itself for its completeness, presenting a $600-900 MSRP watch as a 300$ one feels misleading.
Can't click on the like or unlike button in that case.
Hi. You can never count on the MRSP. I even got 19 percent discount on my Seamaster.
@@TimeAndCrown Certainly, you could get 30 to 50% easily... by buying on the web, on more or less distant sites, to more or less professional or accessible sellers. With more or less trouble accessing the warranty in case of trouble, and an increased risk of counterfeit. Which isn't what people'd expect, and is why grey market prices can't be used as official price, IMO.
it got inflated to $445, where can I get it for $300? for $425 I rather go get a steinhart homage sub at least it can be used in a real beach/ dive watch.
Hmmm... I got some mixed feelings toward this piece.
The most irritating thing is their "T" logo on the second hand. Looks hideous, like a rotating out-of-control hammer. It always gives me dizziness. It's the main reason why I keep ignoring this brand.
Let's be honest. This is not a racing watch. Rather a classy sporty one. Without rotation, the outer bezel is useless. The day/date complication ruins dial's symmetry. I would have been preferred only date, at 6 o'clock.
Butterfly clasp looks nice BUT it has no secure element, which is a pity.
Lume looks like a disaster, especially on hour markers.
Also, from a Swiss brand, i was expecting a thinner overall watch.
The only positive aspects I can see so far is sapphire and ceramic insert. Also Powermatic 80 is nice, BUT it sacrifices the bph rate... Some say the hairspring is more fragile on this Powermatic movement.
So, overall, it's an easy pass for me, considering the above mentioned aspects and the fact that it doesn't bring any originality.
Good review, but not impressed it is just a high priced swatch watch. Since 1983, Tissot SA has been a subsidiary of the Swiss Swatch Group.
The Tissot is made of plastic?
What?? No!
Well, DW called it, just a high priced swatch watch. Most Swatches are plastic. Did he mean just another swatch group watch? I guess that would mean that's all Omega is, as well.
Damn. Just read Tissot backwards. Spoiled it for me.
Less than 200m water resistance disqualifies it automatically for me as a “all you need” watch!
Because you go everytime below 200m? Is your pool or bath that deep? Wow...
@@rob2662 and another one who knows absolutely nothing about water resistance! How about you educate yourself first on the subject matter and then come back with an educated response?! Here’s a hint: I dive and the video is about a “all you need/do it all” watch!
How I love it when people feel the need to chip in despite the fact they have no clue at all!!!
I agree that 100m resistance os only matter of time when they get foggy. I have got rule that 200m minimum as well. But in this case might to exception as they come with sapphire.
@@michal1249 if you buy a dive watch from JLC you won't have to worry about water resistance despite them having only 100 meters, too.
guys, we need to stop this non sense "i go holiday and forget the date" you have at least 3,4 gadgets in your pocket and or your car which can tell you date and far more accurate time then any automatic watch on the planet..in 2021 no one buys a watch to tell time...its more a status confirmation and fashion thing.. has little to do with the use of keeping or chrono or whatever..
