I own Visodate since january this year. I only can say amazing swiss automatic watch for the price. Elegant, classy vintage look, nice details and my first choise for business/formal occasions.
There is something about this watch, that I cannot explain, that has always made me lust after it. I am sure that, for one, the styling is simple to the point of actually being elegant. Certainly, the "Tissot" script should NEVER have fallen into disuse; it's pure class.
I own one... Its a great watch for the money... but the black and blue versions can be hard to read in sunlight. The non reflective crystal can cause problems...however the white dial version is an excellent watch and probably the most practical of the 3 colours that Tissot offers.
Hey Eric, That is a great viewpoint to bring for everyone watching. I did not get my hands on the blue one so I appreciate you sharing that. Thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar
@@watchspec Hi Jon... I went in to buy the blue dial... Its a beautiful watch.. but l just couldn't read the dial in bright light.. So l left with the white dial. I really would recommend trying on any watch before you buy. Like your reviews.⌚
I really appreciate this review. I just saw the new updated blue Visodate and at first glance it looked amazing, but the slower Powermatic 80 movement, the 42mm case and the 21mm lug width completely took me out of the market for that. It's ashamed because it is beautiful. However, after watching this vid I pulled the trigger on the previous model in this review. Can't wait to own it. Anyway, thanks for the time!
I also just purchased the previous automatic model with the ETA 2836. At a good discount too since they are being discontinued. I also have two Tissots with the Powermatic 80 movement but to me the older ETA movements are more user friendly, like the 2836 a real workhorse. They are all metal construction and any watchmaker can repair them.
This is the next piece on my hit list.I started collecting watches 2 years ago. So far i have a TAG F1,Longines Hydroconquest,Seiko 5 automatic and a Raymond Weil Tango.
You see that comment adds nothing to the discourse. Saids more about the individual making the comment than the comment itself as what was said is of no value.
Hi Tom, Thank you for watching and for the compliment. Let me know if you have any specific requests for a future Tissot review and I'll see what I can line up. Thanks again, -Jon Rihtar
Sweety, Tissot has been using ETA movements since the 50's, they're the "T" in "E-T-A". And that logo is one of the most elegant ones ever designed for a watch and really is a classic.
Just stumbled across your channel. Great content. I own the Visodate and Seiko Turtle 🐢 SRP775 amongst others. Both great and enjoyable watches. Thanks for the review.
another excellent review jon. a very nice looking watch and great value for money given the obvious quality. the old skool video on the tissot website for this line is worth checking out. good style never goes out of fashion. have had the sarx033 in the past and whilst that is a truly beautiful dress watch, it would be hard to recommend that over the tissot in terms of price after watching this review. keep up the nice work.
I’m buying a quartz version for a friend who is getting married - would you say you enjoy wearing it for casual and dressy occasions, or just when you are dressing up? :)
LOL @ 40mm diameter is the "upper end of the acceptable range for a dress watch...." and right in the sweet spot for us old-timers whose eyesight has faded since we were young lads and frivolities like "what does the size of your watch face say about you as a person" seemed to matter to us a lot than they do at this age. Now I'm no more keen to wear a grandfather clock on my wrist than the younger and more fashionably literate... but when I look at my watch I need to be able to tell what time it is.
My observations were that too large at 40mm + why the obligatory exhibition case back that’s so important to modern day Tissot’s?, although have an unmarked steel-cased Tissot Antinmatique from 1954, has a 31.9 mm case with a creamy dial, saw a larger 36 mm version going for £1.116.59, I got mine for a fraction of the price.
Hey Syndicated Satellite, Being a mechanical engineer by trade, I am a sucker for automatic movements over quartz. However, there are several quartz offerings of this Visodate that I would say look better than the automatic (potentially 😁). Too bad they don't offer all styles in both movements. Thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar
@@watchspec thanks for the nice review, which quartz version in particular would you say looks better the the auto you reviewed? Do you think 30m wr is too little for everyday wear?
@@GB-lx4jz , I really like the look of this one (especially the black): -Black: amzn.to/2EK6RJc -White: amzn.to/2JPkSt4 However, you can tell that I am impressed with the style of the Visodate automatic as well. Also, 30m is fine for daily wear. A watch with this spec has no trouble with washing hands or rain shower. My Seiko SNK809 is a watch I would classify as one of my main "daily wear" watches and it has this same 30m rating with no concerns. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar
Ребят скажите вот минутная стрелка как выставил идёт и секундах тоже , а вот часовая вот или повторюсь из за того что нет антиблика, покрытия бывает что время то на час один раз на 2 было она как бы отстает, ну склоняюсь что сам из за похожих стрелок и в спешке выставил не правильно, но идут не останавливаясь , В ЧЕМ ДЕЛО? ОТВЕТЬТЕ ПОЖАЛУЙСТА МОЖЕТ У КОГО ТАК БЫЛО , ИЛИ САМ ЗА 4 МЕСЯЦА БЫЛО 2 РАЗА ТАКАЯ ИСТОРИЯ
Hey Jose, As an everyday watch I choose the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic. Reason: the Hamilton at 38mm diameter and 10mm thickness will feel more comfortable. Also, being a field watch it will have better usability. Having said that, for someone who needs a more formal watch based on their profession, they would need to balance this aspect also. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar
Hey man. I am about to buy my first swiss made watch and did my personal research enough, but more i do more i got confused. Can u tell me difference between those Swiss made brands what is main difference, i am not talking about design and personal reference, i am talking about main concept and logic behind performance itself?!? If u take a closer look of what inside the automatic watch, it is pretty much similar!! Let me give u an example, Tissot is very suitable for beginners especially those with Powermatic 80 movement, but price of Tissot powermatic 80 with chronometer is lower than or same with those brands with same or old movement without chronometer such as Hamilton, Mido, Longines, Tudor, Alpina, Certina, Frederique Constant. If u answer the question, it will be absolutely helpful for people like me who are looking for a watch we can use it decades(I may spend 500 - 2000 $) I think those watches with Sistem 51 is rubbish, u are not able to fix it. In addition, watches at airport are almost 20-30 percent cheaper than market price, i thought it is fake but after i checked store locations with brand websites, i knew it is original. What do u think about a spending 1000 bucks at the airport?
You can choose for the 'number of the day in the week'. Monday is the first day so there is a 1 before the day. You can also choose for the day without the number, it's up to you.
Hi Jundi, The 40mm diameter on this watch allows for flexible for all wrist sizes, large to small. My wrist size measures 18cm just to give you a point of reference. In addition to the video, I have photos of this watch on my 18cm wrist included in my written review as well if this gives you an idea of how it will wear for you: www.watchspec.com/tissotvisodate/#Jump6 I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks for watching! -Jon
I hadn't even noticed, those hands are waaaaay too short!? why do they do this? surely watch designers have some absolute rules when it comes to propotions?
Why do you Americans say; "Out of Switzerland?" The watch is not contained in Switzerland. Try saying "From Switzerland" and the English language will feel better used.
@@hoosierpointblank2607 hey love the way you speak , we all have our ways of using our language, btw had this watch and sold it, re ordered because I miss it so much ,i think its extraordinary value for money, Tissot are underappreciated, Great video
