Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's introductory plastic watch) freed in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's motion in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the most eminent quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).

 PRC 200
By D. Varga
Large, heavy man's man watch. Gets a great deal of looks and the bracelet is just beautiful. Keeps splendid time as most quartz movements do. I use it as an daily casual watch and have banged it a lot of times, the sapphire crystal remains scratchless. Thought with regards to buying another or gathering all three colors.
This watch could be bettered if the night illuminators didn't take so long to charge. Also it lacks a perpetual calendar but the date is easy to change and only has to be done once each two months.
Try this before spending $2000 - $5000 on breitling, tag, omega 40 of 45 humans found the following review helpful.
 Something you will have to recognise regarding before your purcahse
By BEWHY
At first, I thought this is a genuinely nice deal since Amazon is retail this watch for $200 less than the syndication price, and Amazon is a very dependable website. However, I am kind of disappointed after I received the package. Here are the things I am not satisfied with.
1. The Tissot package seems to be beauteous wear out, not like in new condition. So if you plan to give this out as a gift, it may be a concern.
2. The booklets in the package aren't printed in very good quality, and the user manual isn't even in rectangle shape, so I was amazed that Tissot genuinely allows this kind of package to go to the market.
3. I in truth checked out the watch in Tissot Authorized Dealer and likewise looked into a great deal of detail info on the web. When comparing this watch to the current model that's sold in the Authorized Dealer, the watch doesn't seem to be precisely the same. You basically won't tell the divergence unless you check a lot of details, such as the pin on the steel band is longer and thinner on this watch than the one in the retail store. Some internet site proposes that this may mean an older model.
Also, as you will have to have noticed from the product information, you won't be getting the introductory factory warranty when you buy this watch online.
So given all these disappointment, I decisive to return this watch. I guess you get what you recompense for. Tissot PRC200 itself is still a very nice watch, but whether it's worth to save the $200 by giving up somethings you will get through the Authorized dealer, you may have to think when it comes to it carefully. 30 of 33 people found the following review helpful.
Beautiful, Class Watch
By J. Cazalas
Just wanted to add another review of this great watch. I researched dissimilar watches for a bit, wanting a sporty, chronograph watch with a stainless band. Most indispensable on my list: sapphire crystal. This watch fits the bill. The blue is ultra sweet and in truth looks nice. For me, the size of the dial is perfect. So a lot of companies are making dials HUUUUGE. Not this one. It is big, but not too big.
For any individual looking at this watch or other nice watches at Amazon: word of caution. And please don't misunderstand this, as we ought to all know that Amazon is a GREAT company. However, you do NOT get the Tissot warrranty when you buy this at Amazon. In their defense, Amazon does state this distinctly on the page for this watch (under the picture and price information). Again, you do not get Tissot's 2 year warranty. In it is place, you get a 2 year warranty provided by a good deal of 3rd party company that Amazon contracts with.
Now, if you may know for 100% sure that the watch is authentic, then this shouldn't be a problem. As long as you get a great watch and a 2 year warranty, it shouldn't matter who provides the warranty. However, even though Amazon is a reputable company, there are shady companies out there, in particular in the watch market (selling fakes). Amazon could effortlessly be duped into buying and then reselling fakes, thinking they are the real thing. Several clients have reviewed Tissots purchased from Amazon and have stated they are fakes. They had issues, sent them to Tissot for service, only to find out the watch was a bogus and not servicable by Tissot.
If you order this watch from Amazon, will it be fake? Hopefully not. But is it worth taking the chance in order to save a heap of money? Perhaps it is for some.
But it wasn't worth it to me. If I was going to spend this much, I wanted to be sure it was real with a real warranty from Tissot. I wanted the assurance that mine was the real thing. So I went to Tissot's website, found one of the few local, authorized dealers, which happend to be a Jared's, and I purchased from them. Paid a LOT more cash though: rather of the $300 that Amazon sells it for, I paid $445. Yeah. WOW. A lot more. But to me, it was worth it.
Also, there is another gain of this. For these watches, you can't just replace the battery through Zales or other little shops, and the cost isn't the little 8 or so bucks. Rather, a one-time battery alternate may cost up to $100 bucks. Crazy right. It is so high because of the water resistence and the gaskets calling for to be checked. They watch has to be pressured sealed. So it is a process. When you get it from Jared's (and perhaps other authorized dealers), I purchased an further and added warranty for only $70, which INCLUDES LIFETIME battery replacement. Mind you, I NEVER EVER EVER buy extended warranties on products...just feel they are a waste. But in this case, you do the math: one-time battery substitute costs $99, but a lifetime of battery replacements costs $70. That is what we call a NO BRAINER. So my total bill out the door was around $540ish. A lot? Hell yeah! But well worth it for the peace of mind of having an authentic and with the cognition that it comes with lifetime battery replacements.
One final note, I genuinely just called and spoke to a manager at Jareds to ask other questions when it comes to the watch and the warranty, and they even said that the warranty includes have the band buffed up to once per year...for free. After wearing this thing just one day, I have little scatches on the band, which is bound to occur since it is stainless steel. So a once-a-year free buffing sounds sweet to me.
All in all, GREAT watch. If you want to save the $150, get if from Amazon. They are a outstanding company. For me, I wanted the assurance (and the extra warranty is awesome), so I purchased elsewhere. Regardless of where you purchase, you will be happy with the watch. Hope the review helps.
