 Tissot quality for a good price |

The Tissot PRC200 Chronograph comes in the original red Tissot presentation box. If you open the lit of the box, you will find the manual and the guarantee in the left and right compartments, which can be pulled out. In the back of the box you can find some booklets by Tissot. One is a catalogue and the other one a paperback about Tissot and its history (quite interesting - even though the narrative is sometimes hard to follow...by the way...Tissot is belonging to Swatch...didn't know that).
The Tissot PRC 200 is a stainless steel watch with silver clock-face and a brown leather strap. The Movement is Quartz Analogue and is Swiss made. This is not unimportant, since some Swiss watch makers have started to put cheaper clockworks from other countries in their watches. The overall look of the watch can be described as classic, but with a modern twist (due to the silver clock-face and the small red dials of the smaller dials for time-keeping). The quality of the watch is quite good (as to be expected by Tissot) with a great attention detail. The watch is 200m/660 Feet waterproof and the case/body of the watch looks very well crafted with two small rings surrounding it, so it doesn't look dull. One of the best features is the leather strap, which has folding clasp, which is better than a buckle clasp, because a) it's better for the leather and b) can be preset to an exact size.
The only thing which annoyed me at first, was that the leather strap was quiet hard and not easy to bend. But that was only, because it's new. After 2 weeks and around 5 minutes of twisting and bending the strap, everything is smooth and working well!
All in all: As you may have read between the lines, I love my new watch. I normally wear diver watches, but this time I was looking for something more classic that can also be worn for formal occasions. I saw this watch in a jewelry-store in my town, but the price was quiet high in Germany, so I looked in the UK and paid small money for a very good watch.

Hope it doesn't go wrong!

Although I am pleased in general with the watch and it keeps good time, the crown came loose after a few months so it wasn't possible to adjust the time or date. I sent it to the local service address (in Oldham) at my own expense, for which I was not reimbursed. They kept the watch for three weeks before returning it with no comment or apology. The crown is still not right and is a bit loose but at least I can turn the hands and alter the date now.
Perhaps I was unlucky but be warned. |
