Tissot Men's T013.420.44.202.00 T Touch Expert Watch Decide Now

I own a T-Touch Expert for almost a year now. It took me a while to make a decision and pay ~$800 for a watch. From my point of view it's a lot of money, and if I wasn't a gadget-freak blown away by the touch screen feature, I probably wouldn't be writing this review now. Was it worth it? I am not really sure.

CONS
First of all, I'd like to start by saying that I read the entire manual before I started using the watch. Even though this is not something that I normally do, I wanted to make sure that I won't miss out on any feature that the watch offers, no matter how insignificant. After playing around with different features for a few weeks, I ended up using it as i would use any wrist watch - mainly to see the time and date. The touch screen is nice to show off, but does not really add any value to the whole experience once you get enough of it. Altimeter and thermometer are more or less useless, since the altitude may vary more than 1000 meters depending on the atmospheric conditions, and temperature reading normally reflects the temperature of your arm. Taking the watch off for half an hour to get an accurate temperature reading is not really handy unless you are at your home, as you may end up leaving the watch behind somewhere. I also couldn't find any use of the two timezones feature, even though I travel a lot and expected that this would be something I could take advantage off.

PROS
On the good side, I went swimming a few times with the watch on, and had no issues whatsoever. Chronometer, compass and alarm work OK, as well as the meteo option, although I can't confirm how accurate its weather predictions are. It's a big watch and I hit quite a few things with it over the last year, but it survived all the poor treatment from my end.

Final verdict - yes, the watch is nice, very light for its size, looks very elegant, and it serves its primary purpose. As long as you are not expecting too much from the advanced features that it is so famous for - you'll be OK. However, if your aim is getting functionality and accuracy at low cost - think twice, you might be able to get the same functionality (minus touch screen and useless thermometer and altimeter) for half the money.Get more detail about Tissot Men's T013.420.44.202.00 T Touch Expert Watch.
