Tissot Seastar 1000 Watch Review

   The Tissot T-Touch Expert mens watch is quite possibly one of the best “tool watches” made. This watch is pure function and manages to be aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Let’s start with the manly features of T-Touch Expert. The expert has a Barometer, Altimeter, Compass, Chronograph, Alarm, and Thermometer. As the name suggest simply touch the crystal at the 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 o’clock positions to operate any of these functions. My favorite feature of the T-Touch is the compass, when engaged the minute hand swings freely functioning as the directional hand. Rounding out this tactile watch there is a Perpetual Calendar, Luminous hands, LCD backlight, and 2nd time zone. It is powered by a quartz battery, these features could never happen with a mechanical watch. The model pictured is the 43mm stainless steel version, with bidirectional rotating bezel and scratch resistant sapphire crystal.

   Watches And Reviews is heavily geared around mechanical watches. Sometimes there is a watch that is not mechanical and is still a head turner. This is one such watch! So many functions packed into this watch, yet it does not come across busy. Well thought out and easy to read. Most of all the T-Touch Expert does what it is meant to do, function.


Pros - Functional, legible, more options than you will probably ever user


Consideration - Would prefer a 22mm lug width to better aesthetically support the case

Case: Stainless Steel

Case Diameter: 43mm

Lug Width: 20mm

Bezel: Unidirectional

Tissot T-Touch Expert Watch Review

  Want a nice affordable Swiss dive watch? The Tissot Seastar 1000 will fit bill. The watch looks fantastic with the black face and black strap combination (ref. T19.1.593.41). The red accents on the dial, hands, and bezel give a nice visual “pop” to the watch. It has a flat matte black dial, that makes the indices stand out quite well. A polished case compliments the overall appearance of the watch. The black rubber strap is integrated to the case and has double locking clasp.

  What makes this watch so great? First, it can be found under $500. Secondly, the Seastar is powered by an ETA 2824, with an estimated 40 hour power reserve. This Tissot also has sapphire crystal protecting the face and an exhibition case back. The Seastar is rated to 300m of water resistance. This all adds up to one heck of a dive watch at a fantastic value. 


Pros - Great value, looks sharp, ETA 2824


Consideration - The black dial is not offered on a bracelet
