Brand features
The company began its existence back in 1853 as an ordinary watch repair workshop. To date, the manufacturer has mastered new technologies, entered the international company Swatch Group Ltd, thereby strengthening its influence in the intermediate price range of the market and continuing to introduce advanced developments into its business.
A high level of quality and a well-thought-out pricing policy allowed branded products to become available not only to aristocrats, but also to segments of the population with an average income.
Collections for beautiful ladies are produced exclusively in Switzerland, their assembly outside the territory of this state is strictly prohibited and punishable by law.
The company's product is remarkable for its amazing durability and relevance that has not been lost over the years.
Before going on sale, each unit is checked in several stages. So the samples are tested for vibration and shock resistance, they are geometrically compared with the model, the strength of the paint and the strap is tested for stretching and other kinds of loads. Finally, the quality of the alloys used is assessed.
Main pros and cons
The company allowed the category of people with an average income to demonstrate their status and emphasize exquisite taste.
It is these qualities that affect the cost of the product. First of all, connoisseurs are interested in the country that produces the "heart" of the watch, and only then they evaluate the functionality and appearance. Therefore, if the movement is made in Switzerland, the chronometer is assembled in the same state and quality control took place there - such proposals should be trusted. They are usually engraved with the "SWISS MADE" mark.
Chronometers are divided into quartz and mechanical. First you need to decide what is more to your taste, because both the possible functionality of the product and its final cost depend on this. Each species has both advantages and disadvantages.
Positive aspects of mechanical mechanisms:
- durability, which is ensured by high build quality and unique features of the "filling" of the product;
- the possibility of repair, which also increases the service life;
- such samples allow you to emphasize the status of the owner and form an expensive image;
- a sudden stop of the product is excluded, as with a dead battery;
- wide variety of model range.
Minuses:
- relatively high errors - from 5 seconds to 1 minute per day;
- high price;
- there are watches with and without automatic winding. In the second case, you will have to regularly wind up the watch.
Advantages of quartz samples:
- perfectly accurate time display. A deviation in one direction or another is allowed by only five seconds per year;
- do not require winding;
- often have advanced functionality, for example, a stopwatch, heart rate monitor, compass;
- the batteries are replaced as needed, usually 2-3 times a year;
- mechanisms of this kind are less susceptible to shock;
- lighter weight when compared to mechanical chronometers;
- quartz is cheaper than mechanics.
Minuses:
- over time, quartz crystals are subject to wear, resulting in errors in accuracy.
The disadvantages become apparent after the direct selection of the model. For some, a significant disadvantage is low moisture resistance, for someone, the illumination of the arrows is important in order to see the time in the dark, for some fashionistas, external characteristics are above all, minimalistic variations do not attract them.
We will directly talk about the nuances of each popular model in the next section.
Variety of options
Chronometers by Tissot amaze with their variety. The catalog on the official website of the manufacturer includes more than 10 collections, and this is far from the limit, because every year something new appears on the market, and annual sales amount to more than a million items.
To choose a product to your liking, you need to know what exactly is worth looking at. Having chosen the "heart" of the product, pay attention to the following nuances:
- Body material. Differs in strength and reliability, affects the cost. Plastic is inexpensive, lightweight, less attracting the sun's rays, but scratches and scuffs appear on it faster. Scarlet alloy is more resistant to mechanical damage. Brass is the most popular housing material, strong and reliable, but oxidizable. Steel and titanium are leaders in branded products. Gold watches are suitable for rare celebrations and significant events.
- The level of tightness - waterproof products allow you not to take them off while swimming in the shower or the sea, they will not be damaged if a person is exposed to heavy rain.
- Glass - this element is often underestimated, considering that its role is too small. The impact resistance of the chronometer depends on its quality. So plastic glasses are the cheapest, they are used in budget lines. Quartz crystals are used in products of the middle price category. You can get rid of scratches by polishing, but quartz is easier to break, so it is better not to use them in products for extreme sports. Sapphire is the most expensive and prestigious material used in exclusive premium models.
- Straps - the offers here are truly endless. Leather look presentable and emphasize status. Rubbers are suitable for sports and casual variations. Fabrics will appeal to lovers of bright solutions.

How to choose
The following recommendations will help you not to "miscalculate" when choosing a chronometer:
- You cannot look for a universal watch for all occasions. Some are suitable exclusively for sports, others for formal meetings.
- Don't waste all your savings, the optimal price is 1-2 monthly salaries, nothing more.
- The design should match the style of the dress. Nothing spoils the look like a classic business suit and a cheap electronic watch with a plastic case.
- The emphasis on additional functions should be placed not as a tribute to fashion, but as a human need. For sportsmen it is increased durability, for diving enthusiasts it is waterproof, travelers will appreciate the built-in compass or world time indicator.
Design is a matter of taste. First of all, the purchase should please the owner, and not all her friends and others.

This brand has existed since the middle of the 19th century. Despite all the efforts of manufacturers to protect their products from dishonest fraudsters, everyone can stumble upon a fake.
How to protect yourself and purchase the original:
- Original units are sold exclusively from authorized dealers and partners of the company.
- Don't trust a surprisingly low price. Check the offer carefully before paying, often defects are visible to the naked eye. For example, the dial may show displaced, blurred, or misplaced numbers. If you are offered a product for less than $ 200, this is clearly a copy, albeit a very good one.
- Take a close look at the presentation of the proposal. The original watches are engraved with the letter T in various places. Make sure it's not a sticker, but really engraving. Start the watch, you will hear how the mechanism began to work.
- Ask the seller for the appropriate certificates.
