I've been in the market for a top quality Swiss made self winding watch for over a year, it was to be a gift for my 40th. I always wanted the kind of watch that could be a collectors item in years to come and after doing some research on Tissot I found that they had a strong history of making fine watches that indeed had the potential to not only be a beautiful time peace for me to enjoy for the rest of my life but something that I could even pass down to family when I shuffle of this mortal coil?
My wife bought the watch through Amazon and there service was fantastic she was a bit nervous about making such a large purchase on line but Amazons tracking service alone with a delivery time and date promise witch they lived up to made going through Amazon the right choice!
The watch itself is beautiful, my first impression was the packaging. It come in its own case mounted on a pillow with detailed instructions and a small book on the history of the company. When you take the watch out of its case the first thing you notice is the weight, you know your holding a quality piece of hand made machinery!! The finish of the watch is superb the polished steel band is a peace of jewelry with in itself and the clasp on the band has a very smooth action and is sturdy enough to make you feel confidant that it wont fall open by mistake.
The crystal sapphire face has a perfect finish and the back of the watch is equally impressed with a view of the inside mechanism. It has a beautiful sweeping action and the stop watch function is easy and floor-less to use!! It is a large watch as I said you know when its on your wrist because of the weight and size of it but its exactly what I wanted. Being a tall person I wanted something that didn't look small on me.
I don't usually ware the watch when I'm out jogging but with its sporty appearance and being waterproof you could easily do so with out it looking out of place, so you can dress up with it or wear it on you next outdoor adventure either way it will look right at home!!
I've only had the watch for 2 months but I've had plenty of comments about it from friends and family and other watch admirers. What more can I say I love the watch and I couldn't be happier with it and would recommend it to anybody who was in the market for a Swiss made time peace.
