I purchased this watch after much deliberation as to which model would best suit my needs from both within the Tissot range but outwith as well. I have had a Tissot before and found it to be an excellent brand that offers great value. You really do struggle to find a swiss made watch at these prices.

I have found that it is perfect for everyday and casual use but is not really suitable for the more formal occasion. That said were you to wear it to one it would certainly attract attention and you could show off the many features that are contained within it.

I am extremely happy that I plumped for this model. Once I had settled on the style I debated whether the titanium model was worth the extra money. I obviously cannot compare it to the steel one because I have not physically held one but it this model is exceptionally light and I am pleased that I paid the extra money for it. With all the technology that is involved it is incredible how light it actually is.

The features on the watch truly are amazing and they are simple to use with the revolutionary crystal display. Simply push the T button on the side then touch the centre of the screen and select the mode that you want. I have found the barometer feature that indicates weather pressure to be surprisingly accurate. The altimeter is handy when walking but for increased accuracy you need to set the actual height (easy enough to find from the internet or contour lines on a map) because it works off atmospheric pressure you will get a false reading without doing this. The compass is superb and very easy to use with the outer edge of the watch featuring all the degrees rather than just the 4 main points (as per some models). The thermometer is accurate but be advised it reads the temperature from the casing and so when you are wearing it, it will be much higher than the actual temperature, however simply slip it off leave it for 15 minutes and you will get an accurate measure. The chronograph is easy to use and can be done so independently of the watch hands and so you can use it whilst the watch will still show the correct time. Finally the alarm works perfectly and is easy to set.

The digital display can be set to show the time (including a second time if you require a different time zone), the chronograph or the date depending on your preferences. Equally the display alters with the functions and so will show height in altimeter mode, pressure when in the barometer mode etc.

I had wanted a watch with a rubber strap and after having read some reviews was concerned about altering it myself. I needn't have been it is very easy to adjust yourself, you just pop out the pins (be careful not to loose them as they are spring loaded and if you're not careful can literally pop out) using a paper clip (or I found the tool that comes with the Iphone 4 to get to the SIM was perfect)and that enables you to cut it to size. I would suggest using a sharp blade rather than a pair of scissors in order to get a clean edge. The strap is split into sections and so it is easy to follow, just do it one strip at a time because if you take too much off you will need a new strap. You can then adjust the strap further by 3 steps on the catch to make it slightly bigger/smaller as you please. All in all I needn't have worried, it was easy and done in minutes.

The orange markers will reflect in the dark however there is no backlight. I know that this is available on the Expert and is noticeably lacking here. That said I am still pleased that I settled on the touch, I felt that the additional features available on both the II and the Expert were superfluous to my needs.

It was a simple straightforward transaction and I will certainly make future purchases from this site.

- T-touch watches are very compact and multifunctional tool always by hand

- it provides useful information in easy understanding way for anyone

- the use is intutive and it takes seconds to get used to using T-touch.



I personally like this simple dial design on this type of T-touch watches - it makes the features even clearer.

Thanks to its design they look as unisex watches and could be worn by women as well.



My favorite feature is METEO - It is amazing to see how the weather will develop/ change in couple of hours. And it is so simple, all you should do is to touch :-)).



Simply said - you will love T-touch watches once you experience the difference...
