My first was the quartz version. Liked it so much I sprang for the automatic. Not exactly “luxury” but a very solid value and classy addition to any gentleman’s wrist. Good review!
Hey Jamie, this is the first review I've seen of yours and based on the quality, info and editing I thought your channel would be much older with quite a following! Would love to see more reviews like this as I think there's a gap for it in the UK with most successful channels being US based. Look forward to seeing the channel grow 👍🏻
Jamie , I am a recent subscriber and am impressed with your depth of knowledge but more importantly the passion that you so obviously have for watches .I recently bought the silver dialled Hamilton Intra-matic dress watch and your review made my mind up for me , as I was contemplating a Junghans Max Bill.I bought the Visodate a while back and agree that this watch is a great modern update of a 50s classic .I believe Tissot flies under the radar .Anyway I hope the channel grows and look forward to your next post .
I got my 40mm on mesh a few months ago while they were still available- 42mm is too big for a dress watch. I switch the mesh up with a very high quality Cognac leather strap. I love it.
Very beneficial and comprehwnsive vid. It has also One good feature is the Nivachron balance spring for anti magnetism and the high rate of 28800 vibrations per hour. All in all , you can not find anywhere else that bunch of great features. I am concidering to buy it and searched for related vids and yours is by far the best so far. I prefer the brown leather strap because , in my opion, it fits more to the case style. ⏰⏱️🧭⌚️🕰️Looking forward for more such great presentations cheers ⏳
I love the Watch and your sold me on getting one, i love your other straps you showed - where do you get them? and it is easy to change the straps? cheers
Buy quickly! Because this is a recently discontinued version, new version is the size of a dinner plate, and has the low beat movement with the clumsy second hand sweep. Day date window is even further from the case edge which looks strange (I guess the low beat movement is rather too small for the enlarged case. A firm yes for the watch in the video, but an equally firm no for the replacement model. As always ymmv :-)
I agree completely, the new version (42 mm) is a massive fail. In addition to what you said, the ”Powermatic 80” text in the dial really assists in ruining the heritage vibe. I really can’t understand what Tissot was thinking in messing with a winning formula. I’m definitely holding on to my 40 mm version.
I like them both, but prefer the new version for a few reasons: 1. I’m 6’2” and have appropriately sized wrists. The 42 is only 2mm larger, but the lugs are shorter, so it “wears” the same size on the wrist. 2. The day /date has been improved in that the background is black on the dark blue model, white on the white face model, and now has a separator between day and date. I prefer the current location rather than being too close to the “3” position as on the 40mm version. 3. The frequency changes means the power reserve is now 80 hours rather than 38, which is nice for people who don’t wear the watch every day. 4. I prefer the logo by itself and the Visodate script down at the bottom of the face. 5. I like the Milanese strap option with both the dark blue and white models. This is a good review of the current model that explains more of the changes th-cam.com/video/ZRs-U6472uM/w-d-xo.html
I tried this little thing on today. You’re bang on the mark when you say it wears smaller. My wrists are skinny so if a watch is too large the strap tends to fall away at a ninety degree angle from the lug atop the logo, which basically constitutes a dealbreaker for me. But this thing didn’t seem to do that, which surprised me. _Extremely_ tempting, and I was actually waiting for the new Powermatic 35mm in ‘ice blue’ . . . The only thing that might dash it is the relatively low water resistance, but they again thirty bar isn’t the worst, either. How’s the timekeeping? Seconds lost / gained daily a year later?
Tissot are hardly in the luxury Swiss market. They are not on par with Rolex or Patek. Having owned 15 Tissot watches at different price points, I can say some of the models are better than others. If you buy an automatic movement watch, be prepared for expensive repairs. Tissot does not accurately tell the consumer about the correct power reserve time. The dive watches are water resistant, but don't submerge them under water.
How polar opposite my experiences with Tissot is. I currently have in my rotation, all heritage models, including the quartz 1918, the mechanical 1936, the auto 1948 chronograph and both the white and blue versions of this visodate automatic. Some I've had for almost a decade. Not one has ever given me a moment of trouble, and never... not once.. have i had to take any of them in for repairs. Just the lone quartz for battery replacement. And what you have said about Tissot dive watches, in my experience, is poppycock and balderdash. I've been wearing my oldest Seastar for over twenty years of diving, ocean diving, 75-100 feet below the surface on average, and often I wear double tanks. It has never given me a single problem, and the lume still glows in the darkness. Ditto my newish Seastar. So either you have had the worst luck with Tissot watches in the history of horology... or a dubious agenda is afoot.
Have a Visodate, PRS516, and a Gentleman. All have been very reliable, very well made punching well above their price. You must be the most unlucky Tissot owner.
Just got mine can’t wait to receive it, thanks for the great review 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Watch the talented mr Ripley. Dickie greenleaf wears a dilver strap watch very similar to this.

Very nice presentation of the overall details and quality of this watch. I also appreciate your candid point of view... thank you!
This was my first Swiss watch it never disappoints (:
Great review, thanks. I purchased this for £275 from Amazon about a year ago. Looks to be discontinued now
Today I bought a used one for $250. It looks like new and I am very happy. Cool review btw.
Great review. Pleasant style. Great first video man! I'm impressed!
Lovely review brother ❤️

I wish I came here earlier only have the oversized one now

Love the visodate. I have an auto III which I think shares the same movement. Tissot is a great brand.
Nice! They are a great brand. I think they could be the best entry level Swiss brand going. 👍
@@salnova1542 the visodate? That’s cool.
nice video, keep it up !
Cheers! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😁
nice review 🙋♂️
Hi why my Tissot Visodate Heritage - Date changes 6 minutes before midnight
Привет у меня за 1,5 минуты до полуночи почему?
Przekonałeś mnie do zakupu. Pozdrawiam
How often do you wind the watch?
Rarely. I normally just let it run off my movement. Sometime I wind it just for the feeling though. 🙈

Every time I think about buying a nice watch I am reminded of that and don't buy one. LOL
