Tissot Powermatic 80 Chronometer Review - Should you buy it? 

I think you missed to state a very important item in regard to the accuracy: this model is c.o.s.c. chronometer certified. It adds a lot of value in mho. Regards, José, (Spain).

Hi Josh, I watched your review because a Tissot Powermatic 80 Chronometer has come up on an auction site I frequent. I'm a bit of a novice with watches and have had several Seiko watches over the years (I'm 62). I Like the look of this watch, and we have 2 service centres within 30k's in case anything goes wrong. Thanks for the video and giving your opinion on the watch. I must say though, ( and no offence intended ) Watching your video was like watching Dr Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory) doing a video on Flags. Try to relax a bit and smile, I hope you're still doing watch reviews. Merry Christmas to you and your subscribers, Cheers from Perth Australia. :)

great review! the tradeoff is interesting and not a deal breaker..in fact being able to hear the rotor is a plus for me--i would probably get the ladies version of this or one of its brethren that gets down to below 40mm...36mm would be my desire...

An excellent review.. Bought the non chrono Powermatic and like it.. Now considering this one.

Mine is running 2 seconds slow after a week. Amazing! My srpb11 turtle blue lagoon runs at 8-10 sec slow. Both r good but for a chronometre grade watch at $630 there is NO comparison! Hell breitling uses this same movt in a 10,000 watch! I think that this is an amazing deal even though it doesn't come with a certificate showing it's specs and certification number (which it should have)! I do wish it were 43mm over the 41mm and I do wish it had a more elaborate dial.

Bought it and love it

Very nice. Love the 80 power reserve. Thanks:)

i love your videos man. I just feel the urge to say this here. thanks for your work

Which one will you prefer,this one or Seiko presage of same price range

A very nice looking Tissot with an awesome power reserve the small crown is an oversight imo great review would be worth a look second hand

I would like to know what do you think about the Silver dial version with bracelet stainless.

I don’t know wether I get this COSC or the Visodate, this one of course has the better movement, but the look of the visodate! Can someone help me?

Hey! How about Powermatic 80 Ballade with Si escapement ? Please try to review it.

Nice review!

Good review Josh! Please make a review for VINTAGE Powermatic 80 GOLD T920.407.76.068.00

Is the Powermatic 80 open heart just as good?

so, the watch does not per other reviews have a regulating internal adjustment .." laser set" at factory.. humm how accurate is it? I have had great and terrible autos.. just wondering your thoguhts and my blue band blue face comes this week! thanks m

how about MIDO Commander II COSC? can you review it?tks

Great review😃

Is all the tissot new powermatic 80 movement COSC certified? Because I don't see chronometer word on some model like tissot PR100 powermatic 80

You left off the one drawback that was a deal breaker for me. I came VERY close to purchasing this watch until I found out that to calibrate it, unlike the traditional 2824-2 movement, it is calibrated via lazers! You pretty much have to send it back to the factory!! I did want to risk getting one that was off by sizeable amount and have to go through that. Especially once it is out of warranty.

Why are you referring it as the powermatic 80? The model name is luxury. Powermatic 80 or eta C07.111 is the movement they use in all the watches with 80 hour power reserve.

You missed the point buddy, accuracy. Before you give a presentation you need to get the right information first. Let me explain this to you again. Accuracy, COSC certified, very important along with the power reserve at such low price. You are welcome.

Which one would you recommend ,the Powermatic 80 version of Le Locle or the Automatic version with the ETA 2824-2 ?

Great vid josh

Hey, I really liked the improvement on your videoquality.

Niko Bellic would love that jacket draped over the chair.

What is model used in this video

so it advertised has a eta 28-24 but it only has a frequency of say 21500, where a Eta 2824 has a frequency of 28860. Why not just buy a Seiko movement? How do you adjust the movement? If you don’t want a watch like this....it might be hard to avoid, as the Swatch company, has brought out watch companies like Hamilton, Tissot...and others that and now they are using movements like this. So it like you not getting an ETA 2824. It’s like a “Dumbed-down” ETA 2824, or a “Super” - Seiko movement, or a Super Swatch watch.

I hate when someone reviews watches and say "they are WR to 50 meters" ... someone who doesnt know ISO 2281 standard may think he can fucking dive with this watch .... 50m = 5atm pressure = you can swim with them .

Is the powematic 80 movement repairable?

Tissot is more and more using powermatic 80 movement on their automatic watches. There is some rumors state that the powermatic 80 movement using silicon parts (plastic) which makes the movement less durable and reliable. Besides, the movement can't be regulated and non-serviceable (meaning that the movement is a disposable movement). Is those rumors true?

Why not a domed sapphire crystal?!?

good luck in finding a local jeweler that will or can fix or maintain the powermatic

good review

You forgot to mention the lack of any illumination.

Who are "we" and "us" Josh Keeps talking about?

But how accurate is it?

I will take seiko watch.

Great video but the joke at the end..... just no haha

I'd just like to say it is slightly annoying that you choose to say piece or timepiece instead of watch about 99% of the time, have you noticed this yourself? Kind regards, Ramon

Archie I know you see this.
