| Classically fashionable and ruggedly masculine, the Tissot PRS200 stainless steel men's watch features ultra-precise Swiss chronograph timing features. It enables you to time events up to 30 minutes, displaying results to 1/10th of a second, and it offers standard start/stop functionality as well as split (intermediate) and add (partial) functions. The large, round silver stainless steel watch case measures 40mm (1.6 inches) wide and 11mm (0.45 inches) thick. It's topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel with black engraved elapsed time markings and brushed riders. The black dial includes three black chronograph subdials, large luminous dauphine hands (with seconds hand) and hour markers, and an automatic date calendar at 4 o'clock. The silver stainless steel bracelet band offers links of mixed brushed and polished finishes, and it's joined by a double-locking clasp for extra security. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown and caseback for water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for scuba diving. About Tissot For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years. A member of the Swatch Group since 1985, Tissot watches are available in over 140 countries around the world. Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratchproof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers). The company's timepieces have also been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey.

| Be careful with this watch. It is absolutely beautiful, and you can't beat the price. However, the high chrome finish is VERY easy to scratch so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a watch for heavy work. Office worker style watch. Cubicle friendly. Nice for a night out too. Well constructed and heavy on the wrist. |
Agradável

| I received this watch as a gift from a friend who ordered it from Amazon. I looked at the watch in the store(national Jewelry) before ordering. One thing I noticed is the band from Amazon is different than the store bought one. The store bought one weighs a little more and moves more easily and is more flexible and has more depth and dimension to it. Thus, it makes it feel more substantial. For a 3rd comparison, I went to Macy's and the band from Macy's is the same one as from Amazon. So, either the Jewelry store one is different, or the band style has changed form the manufacturer. Not sure which one. I wish the one from Amazon had the band I prefer, but other than that, the watch is beautiful and very nice and the price is right. |
Probably best $400 I've spent on anything- ever!

I bought this watch ten years ago. I wear it 15 hours a day- every day. It literally still looks new! Has some fine surface scratches on stainless face and band but you have to look close to see them. Once a year I change the battery (most any decent jewelry store), and a couple of times had to get a new pin to attach the band to case. Ten years and that's it!
- I have been a restaurant manager all of these years. My watch takes about as much abuse as you're ever going to give a watch. I bang this watch hard (on a daily basis) on just about any surface possible including steel, concrete, rock, glass, etc. There is not a single scratch on the sapphire crystal.
- The only time I have ever had to reset the time is when the battery is dying. Otherwise it matches the clock on my cell phone exactly.
- I'm constantly washing my hands at work. I swim with watch on, etc. No issues with watertight.
- Trying to think of more praise! Oh yeah, it looks great, solid feel, etc. Pix online don't do it justice. I couldn't decide between black face and "Sapphire Blue." Finally got the blue one which has some kind of finish to the dial face (ceramic?) that makes it pearlescent in light- very cool! Now that I noticed it online in black for $274 I'm seriously contemplating getting that too!
- Do yourself a favor and don't buy any more "disposable" $50-200 watches without a sapphire crystal. They may keep working for years but they look like crap in 6 months (if you wear your watch in an "abusive" environment).
- Tip from jeweler- once a week spray it with windex and wash it off. Makes stainless sparkle and gets rid of grime.
- Conclusion- just about the best $400 I can remember spending on any product! |
Nice looking, but cheap feeling - and it stopped working within three weeks

| I bought this watch for everyday office + occasional gym - bike - run use. I usually do sports during the lunch break or right after work, and I wanted inexpensive, but decently looking watch that can fit both purposes. When you buy 300 $ watch, you do not expect it to be built like Breitling or Omega, but I was expecting it to be at least as sturdy as my old 150 $ Festina Chronobike (which took fair amount of beating from years of gym-bike-run and occasional swim routine, but still works perfectly well and looks reasonably good). Tissot PRS 200 looks very nice, but feels cheap, even compared with Festina. Especially the bracelet feels really cheap (although, like the rest of the watch, it has nice and shiny look) up to the point I am expecting it to fall apart if I would really do some casual sport with the watch on. At the end, the watch stopped working after three weeks. Thought it is the battery and had it replaced, but then the watch got stuck again 12 hours later. This one is going to repair shop or garbage bin. This is my first and last Tissot. |
