In this Video I am reviewing my Tissot Powermatic 80 Luxury Automatic after 5 months I wore it. Interested in buying one for yourself? EU: www.uhren-lounge.de/a-9513/ti... US: www.amazon.com/Tissot-T0864071... Thanks for watching!
The audio volume dropped out and there was never a shot of the watch on wrist... (Content providers should watch their product after production, just a thought.)
I'm looking for a visodate, but I found this in silver dial and brown leather strap with a good price. So, I have to decide. 🤔. Wish one should I go for?
Hello! It looks very nice! I'm looking into buying one of those. Do you have any problems with time keeping? I read complaints about -9 sec per day. Would you prefer a bracelet instead of the leather strap?
gkalamv Well as it is an automatic and in my case not the chronometer, it tends to move slower if the power reserve gets low. If you wear it a lot it stays pretty accurate I wouldn't chose a bracelet over leather, i really like the band as it is
+Edsternoble Hi! It can be more precise than the normal version as being a chronometer means to fulfill certain standards of accuracy in sec. per day (+/- 3 if I remember correctly). But even though the standard version has to fulfill just +/- 25 sec per day, that's only the minimum. Mine is running at around -7 sec a day which I find to be quite good and does not make me want the chronometer!
+TimeKeeping Thanks for the reply. So you're saying the powermatic chronometer would be more precise than a Automatic ETA 2836-2 movement? (not a powermatic movement) -sorry just a bit new to the technical side of watch movements.
+Edsternoble the thing is as follows: there are different grades of eta movements, categorized by how precise they should behave. if a movement now happens to have a chronometer certification, you can be sure it is very precise. which does not mean, on the other hand, that an ETA 2836-2 can't be as precise even though it's not a certified chronometer. No movement is exactly the same, chronometers are just very accurate!
I have the Tissot Ballade COSC, and it's running at around minus 1 second per day, sometimes minus 0.5 second per day - well within the chronometer criteria and is indeed very accurate (and precise). I also have a Seiko LordMatic that runs at 28,800 bph (compared to the ballade which is at 21,600 bph), but the LM is plus/minus 6 seconds per day. Some say this is good enough; some say it isn't. Furthermore, some even say that the LM movement is "chronometer capable", but that does not mean it can be certified as a chronometer. The performance of my LM is at the borderline of COSC standards, but to be able to get COSC certified the movement must be tested at different conditions and still meet the critera, i.e. those conditions will be worse than just being worn on an ordinary man's (or woman's) wrist (temperature, vibration, positions, constant movement, etc.). I'm expecting the LM to perform at lot worse when tested, far worse than just plus/minus 6 seconds.
I have one question and I really hope you can answer it . I am about to buy this watch on the metal strap. Is it going to be possible to switch my metal strap to a leather strap if I find the size ?
Christian Rivera hey! Sure thing, you can put on any strap (not only factory Tissot) with a width of 22mm, just need the spring bar tool which you can get on Amazon. Enjoy the piece, after five years I have it it‘s still a great an reliable daily!
I disagree. Since Tissot don’t have a symbol logo as a brand recognizer, they use the Tissot and the 1880 below as the recognicer. I don’t think it’s so overwhelming. You should see a ‘Christopher Ward’ logo. That’s horrible. I’m happy with my Tissot. (I have no affiliation with Tissot whatsoever).
Thia clock scratches real easy. Both the glass and the metal gets scratched fast with normal use. You also have to adjust the time every week because the automatic mechanisme is inaccurate. I would not have bought the one I have if I knew how poor quality it is.
innstikk the glass does not scratch at all unless you don't abuse it very hard, it's saphire after all. And the polished metal scratches, yes. But it scratches just as much as ss does on a JLC Reverso. It's the nature of stainless steel. Resetting the movement every week is normal for an automatic in that price range. You should have bought the chronometer if that bothers you...
It is quite pointless to have 80 hours power reserve on a watch like this. 40 hours would be a plenty enough + quicker movements tend to be more accurate.
Philip Cooper yes, you have the drawback of the slightly less accurate movement, but if you have more watches and don't wear this on the weekends (as I do wear it just for work on weekdays) it's nice to have a running watch on monday morning
