It's nothing special, mate. Tissot has a long heritage, but they slipped from the high ground decades ago. It's a quite ordinary quartz chronograph, and like most has relatively poor water protection. 100m is okay for splashing around in, but not anythign deeper than normal swimming.

But hey, if you like it, it's probably well made and accurate. What more do you want? Only one person in 1,000 will know it's nothing very classy or expensive, and he'll be a watch snob (like quite a few of us on here ).

I've always like titanium. Very light and has an understated darker-grey finish.

Richard.

Cheers Hoppy,

I know it's nothing special. I just liked it. My Accurist is a bit long in the tooth now about 9yrs old, very scratched. I don't fancy swimming at 100m depth, my lungs arn't big enough plus my *** will probably go out.

Its very Tag Kirum.

But Im a sucker for busy dials, so if 'I' was in the market for such a watch, it would be up there with the Seiko, Pulsar, Citizen brands.

But of course, 'I' would buy something in that price bracket from...WWW.POLJOT.COM.

At the end of the day, if 'YOU' like it, buy it.

Agree with the Poljot comments, good value, rare, and stylish.

Mate of mine put me on to them a few weeks back.

Also like www.70s-watches.com as some good stuff on there.
