Looking for a watch model for running, I let myself be tempted by this flagship anniversary model and pioneer of the range of watches with touch screen. The titanium is appreciable, light and sober and the screen although touch offers a surface with reflections which gives it the appearance of a beautiful sports watch with needle.

a lightweight and versatile sports watch

A sober watch that offers striking black contrasts from the bracelet to the dial; contrasts cut by its sharp hands and indexes that make the time point in light. The play of color is different underwater and wet dial, with another interest. The rubber bracelet has a soft and honeycombed external surface to offer a slight sparkle.

The Tissot brand was created in 1853 by Charles-F&eacute;licien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile in Le Locle in Switzerland. Since its creation, the brand has distinguished itself by offering a pocket watch indicating two time zones. As it developed, Tissot had to structure the house to focus on the export market and more particularly in Russia. Tissot is known for its innovation. She created the first antimagnetic watch in 1930 and the first automatic wristwatch displaying 24 time zones without manipulation in 1951.
In 1971, she also created a model made entirely of plastic, including its mechanical movement, the Tissot Astrolon. The brand positions itself in the mid-range and wants to offer quality at an affordable price. In the Tissot range we find flagship models such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/prx_powermatic_80"> Tissot PRX Powermatic 80</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/le_locle"> Tissot Le Locle</a>, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/telemeter_1938">Tissot Telemeter 1938</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/v8_swissmatic"> Tissot V8 Swissmatic</a> or even the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/seastar">Tissot Seastar</a>. Tissot is also known for being the official watch supplier for many professional sports such as the NBA, MotoGP and Cycling.

(Updated April 2024)

I was initially tempted by the T-Touch Connect Solar but its imposing diameter (47 mm) was prohibitive. So, when the brand released this new model in a smaller size, I didn't hesitate long before buying it.

Compared to the old models, we can see that the design of this version is much more refined. The black dial has just indexes and the minute indications are on the ceramic bezel. The case is made of titanium and alternates with polished and brushed edges for a beautiful effect. The hands are half-skeletonized and equipped with a Super-LumiNova coating for optimal visibility in the dark.

I chose the version with the titanium bracelet. Surprisingly light, it has polished and brushed links, which gives it a distinguished appearance. However, it tends to scratch easily. The big positive point is the possibility of making micro-adjustments on the buckle, very useful when the wrist swells under the heat. Finally, it can be changed quite easily. So I also opted for a black rubber strap.

The sapphire crystal is advertised as scratch-resistant but has the disadvantage of being particularly prone to fingerprints. The touch screen now allows you to swipe but it is not always very responsive, it is often easier to use the push buttons. I find that the use of the watch and the organization of the menus are not very intuitive. Unlike an Apple Watch where everything is logical and direct, here you will have to go through several submenus for simple actions or read the manual to understand manipulations that you cannot guess.

The basic display of the digital screen displays the day, date and number of steps. I would have preferred the digital time or the possibility of being able to choose the option you prefer instead.
In conditions where you can't see the hands well, if you want to see the digital time display, you have to look for it buried in submenus. It's really not practical. Just like starting a stopwatch or an alarm, it would have been better to be able to do it more directly by reducing the number of manipulations required.

Descendant of the T-Touch family, we can regret that this version abandons options that were its trademark, such as the compass, the altimeter and the barometer.
Having tested the activity functions, I noticed that the indications were rather approximate (in particular the distance traveled or the difference in altitude). In addition, the number of functions is relatively small. An Apple Watch, for example, offers many more possibilities, will be much more efficient, more intuitive and at a price three times lower.

But that's not what we ask of this T-Touch Connect Sport. Because it is first and foremost a real watch equipped with 3 real hands. This is a beautiful piece of traditional Swiss watchmaking that has been boosted with modern technology. Its other strong point is its power reserve. Running on solar energy, its battery is almost unlimited in non-connected mode and can last 6 months with normal use.

Let's be clear, this watch is intended for a niche target audience. Athletes who need a smartwatch will turn to other models that are much more efficient and much less expensive. It is rather aimed at people who are looking for a beautiful watch first.

Personally, I find it perfect for traveling, when you only want one watch that goes everywhere. During the day, it allows you to measure your activity (distance traveled, etc.) and contains other useful functions such as notifications. In the evening, it can be a little dressed up without being too flashy. And the big advantage is that it doesn't need to be recharged!

Tissot T-Touch Connect Sport: a real hybrid

In 1999, Tissot released the world's first touchscreen watch: the T-Touch. In 2014, the brand innovated again with the first solar-powered touchscreen watch: the T-Touch Expert Solar. I bought it for myself in 2017 for my 30th birthday. 

With its 45 mm diameter, it may seem imposing, but its titanium case makes it light and comfortable to wear. The LCD screen and solar cell are directly integrated into the dial. On the bezel, there are indications that refer to the compass. This works with the watch hands but can sometimes be approximate. 

I have often taken this watch hiking and traveling and it has never disappointed me. However, I regret the absence of a second hand. 

The strong point of this watch is its power reserve. Running on solar energy, its lifespan is almost unlimited and there is no need to recharge it. 

It has about twenty functions including a perpetual calendar with day and week, a dual time zone, two alarms, weather with relative pressure, altimeter with altitude difference meter, stopwatch with intermediate time (SPLIT) and lap (journal) functions, compass, countdown, backlighting.
