This one has been waiting patiently in the queue for review for a while now! Is it the Seiko SARB for 2020? Well, only if you have put on weight during Corona! Great watch, don't get me wrong, but a bit chunky and a bit shiny in places. If you like it though, it is rock solid and great value. Cheers, Jody

The powermatic 80 is a beast, I am genuinely surprised how long it lasts. Tissot really are a great brand for jumping into Swiss.

It’s nowhere near as good as the OP…… but it will do just fine until I (make the seriously stupid financial decision 🙄 and) get one 😉 A ‘Rolex OP date’ is a Rolex Datejust (that would be a seriously stupid financial decision though).

[@prod.bynil-oh7440]

I got it i love it.however Theres twoajor issues with it wich doesnt get talked about enough when it comes to the Gentlemen being the best alternativ for an OP: 1. It doesnt tamper enough wich makes the bracelet Look stiff and cheaper then the actually nice finishing really is. 2. Its to big too chunky on the wrist.

I have had mine (blue dial on the brown strap) for about 10 months and I absolutely love it! Makes me happy when I see it being reviewed!

[@ajc9387]

Have owned the blue dial version for about 5 months now. Personally I think the blue dial is the way to go, over the black. I think it's a perfect everyday piece. Goes with any outfit, accurate, great power reserve, and a fair price. Wear it almost everyday.

[@spencealmighty]

I bought that exact watch a month ago Jody, my one has been running within COSC spec ever since. It may not directly replace the SARB but it definitely takes the crown of being the best value spec monster from a swiss watch maker. I only wish Tissot had something like Seiko's Diashield on there to protect from scuffs and scratches.

[@patricj951]

I have this watch(in blue) since 8 months or so. I find the size perfect for my 17cm/6,7" wrist. The lug to lug is around 49mm which is pretty big but not extreme. I have several watches smaller than this one but for such a dresswatch I like the wrist presence it provides. I am tempted to get the silver version as well...

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Got this on the leather deployant leather strap. Amazing accuracy within 2secs per day on wrist when broken in. Nice clean execution and incredible longevity of the PR. Nice everyday beater it’s understated but smart and versatile. On the strap it’s super comfortable on the wrist and can be adjusted on the fly unlike the scratch magnet bracelet. Possibly wears smaller on the strap. Legibility is absolutely no problem in all light conditions and if smudges are an issue again avoid the bracelet version. Apparently 22mm straps drop in quite easily. Overall it’s a lot of watch for the cash with a trusty ETA with 25 jewels and an antimagnetic silicon balance spring. If the black is too safe go with the blue.

[@michaelhargis7036]

I've bought through JOMAshop many times and have never had an unfavorable issue with them. I may just have to get myself this Tissot. Great review.

[@AlvisHerren]

I got a Tissot Gentleman with a Powermatic 80 movement about three years ago. I ordered the blue dial version with brown leather strap. However, I replaced that strap with a blue Alligator skin one. Love it, love it! I wear it all the time. I occasionally put on a blue NATO Strap. At some point, I’ll add the metal bracelet. It’s my first Swiss automatic and Id recommend it to anyone.

[@karlsenula9495]

This Tissot model is definitely on my list to get for a while already ... great watch.

[@Evergreen64]

I have a Tissot with the Powermatic 80 from a few years back and the antireflective coating is so good that in some light you can't tell it has a crystal at all.

Saw this watch in the green dial about 2 weeks ago, and loved it. But... I'm with you. The 21 mm lug width is the single reason I haven't bought this watch, and may never. I love to swap out my leather straps for different looks. I have a ton of 20mm straps (some of them running $100+), and would have to start over.

[@davemck1887]

[@Miginath]

I just swapped out the bracelet on my gentleman for a strap and it is that beefy bracelet that is responsible for a lot of the weight. Putting the waych on a leather strap makes this one a lot more comfortable.

[@markstanton63]

Hope it comes with a polishing cloth ..... (& a guide to overcoming certain OCD issues)

[@DouglasRosser]

I got the Glycine GL0105 to assuage my SARB-envy and it's now my favorite watch. It doesn't have the 80-hour power reserve of the Tissot but it's a genuine Swiss hi-beat movement with a domed sapphire crystal. The faux military dial is a bit marmite; I love it. If you want a bigger version of the same watch, look for the GL0101. If you can find one, expect to pay just under $300 US. They are getting a bit scarce.

[@carrickrichards2457]

Alot of watch for the price. I am torn between this and a Seiko Alpinist. Thank you for helping decide with such a clear, thorough and thoughtful review.

[@ddeboy002]

I sanded my links to brushed and it looks so much better than scratched. Just brush the whole thing or replace the bracelet immediately with a dark forest green or brown which matches nicely.

Very good looking watch. My sarb 033 is much smaller looking on my wrist though so I'm not sure I'd compare them. I put a nice Crocodile strap on the sarb which really dressed it up. The Tissot looks great with the bracelet and that's how I would wear it. Kind of sporty dress.

Your point about Seiko prices increasing at the end is on point. Swiss for that money is a steal.

[@jacc88888]

When I found out recently that a large proportion of parts of these lower end Swiss brands are made in China I’m not so convinced they are ‘steals’ to be honest. Certainly a lot of money for the average Jo around the world. However maybe Tissot has a larger proportion of parts that are Swiss made...

[@LamarFaciane]

I have a 7" wrist as well and I have to wear the bracelet on my Tissot Automatics iii a little floppy too. I really dig Tissot and this one is a sweet alternative to the sarb033

[@rodfredericks1939]

I have the blue dial on leather of this watch, a very nice combo, but have to say the black on bracelet is awesome.

[@ericgrace9995]

I own a Tissot Visodate. I picked the white dial version as the blue/black dials had problems with light reflection and legibility. You might find the same "solution" with this one. If they make a white dial, go for it.

[@waynedonovan6754]

You can usually fit a 22mm strap into 21mm lugs easily. I sometimes wet the strap ends and let it dry into the 21mm lugs. But worth noting that removal can be a bit hard with 22mm spring bars into 21mm lugs, but this is not an issue with drilled lugs.

I'll let you know where it lands 😉 Thanks again for sharing.

(I'm a sucker for blue dials) I also bought a Hamilton Khaki Diver ( batman coloring ) and an Orient that I ended up selling off a while back on eBay because I just never wore it. I absolutely LOVE this watch and I have it on right now while watching this. I have 7.25 in wrist and it fits perfectly on me. Put the date window at the 6 o'clock, and you have something that rhymes with the 2018 and up Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra at a MUCH more affordable price.

The polished mid links is not to my taste though (and that stupid lug size makes it harder to choose straps.
