The Tissot Seastar

I haven’t tried one on at the time of writing this post. This is unusual for me as I normally at least try one on at a boutique. We cannot exactly blame covid-19 on that, as we never had a lockdown in Perth.

I haven’t tried one on at the time of writing this post. This is unusual for me as I normally at least try one on at a boutique. We cannot exactly blame covid-19 on that, as we never had a lockdown in Perth. From what I have read, the finish isn’t that good on this timepiece, so now I am interested. Online comments have been less than brilliant, so that intrigues me. Are people genuinely disappointed or are people being too critical?

I generally like Tissot products, they are entry-level Swiss, so you know what you are getting. You are getting a reasonable quality timepiece from a Swiss manufacturer with a pretty decent heritage dating back to 1853. At the end of the day, I don’t need another dive watch, I have more than enough in rotation so I won’t be adding to that total. I have an interest in watches and while I do not buy and sell, I purchase new from authorised dealers and keep.

What I do like is checking on industry releases and following watch manufacturer products. That being said, I prefer to purchase high-end timepieces. However, on reflection, I would have more than enough entry-level watches in my collection. Although I do own three Tissot watches, two of these are currently residing with my father, so if I added to my Tissot collection, it would be one of their vintage inspired offerings. There is something I seem to find interesting in Tissot and will continue to follow this brand.
