Very nice. How funny; a co-worker was wearing one yesterday and it struck my eye. Blue and gold is a nice pairing.

Thank you. I have always wanted this watch and just had to make it happen. Also a local Rolex AD here in Cincy always advertises this exact watch on their billboards on the highway and every time I see it I just want one.

Anyone have a Tissot? Found a sharp all black one but wanted to see if anyone has any positives or negatives about the brand before I purchased. Thanks

Tissot is very storied old brand based out of Biel. My cousin has a T-Touch titanium for about a decade with no issues. Their limited edition automatic's are actually quite nice and a great value. I've eyed a few over the years when they come around at a good price. If looking at Tissot, I'd check out Certina, Glycine, and Oris. Pretty sure all of the three are also made in Biel as well.

I have no negatives with the Tissot brand at all.

I don't know if this response is past its expiration date or not, but figured I would provide my .2 cents.

Background- Tissot is part of the watch giant Swatch Group. Tissot, Certina, and Hamilton are all brands classified within their mid tear group of offerings. All of the noted brands are very well known across the mainstream watch world and have authorized dealers in almost every major city in the US. This is a bonus when it come to repairs/service. In addition all of the noted brands are respected.

But in all honesty, forget the brand on the dial and just ask yourself these question(s)- what movement do you prefer (auto or quartz). What case size fits your wrist best (38mm, 40mm, 42mm, or larger). What case styling fits your personality (dress or diver). Do you prefer a bracelet (medal), rubber, or a leather strap. And most importantly who is backing the watch when it comes to repairs or service. If this Tissot checks all your boxes so to speak then it's a winner, pull the damn trigger. At any rate If you have some other questions or want suggestions within the Tissot price point hit me up. There is a lot of killer micro brands out there with impressive offerings.

Thanks for the response. Im getting married in May and will be wearing a tux. I have a TAG but its brown and dont want to wear it with a black tux. Saw a 42mm black automatic Tissot that looked sharp for a dress watch for around 400 bucks. Just wanted to reaffirm that its a pretty good watch. Thanks again.

Congrats on the wedding. I wish I has the model number on the Tissot to bench it against others, but it sounds like a decent piece. Just for kicks, take a look at the following options. FYI- for a dress watch don't exceed the 42mm case size, especially when in a tux.

Hamilton Valiant (Hamilton is a step above Tissot in the SwatchGroup)
Hamilton Jazzmaster
Seiko Sarb (Great line, phenomenal movements)-(seiyajapan is a great site)
Christopher Ward (if in the US make sure to note this in the google search)

In closing, the $400-$500 range will land you a great dress watch, with the TAG still being a great every day watch.

Typically, I would recommend not wearing a watch with a Tux.

I've had a T-Touch for 7 years, one of my go-tos for daily wear. I've had no issues at all, love that watch.
