i had the prs 516 automatic , day date not chrono since 2003 . still working great and looking great . very robust and reliable watch .

[@brianwolfgeher1833]

Harrison, I'm not through the video yet so apologies if you do cover this eventually. For the bezel design. The bezel is using two different scales. You have the base 30 pulsometer scale and then the tachymeter scale. The reason the white starts a little off center is because the tachymeter scale goes to that 60 dot and the front end of the pulsometer scale doesn't need to have any text because no human would have a pulse that already pulsed 15 times in that 1 to 5 seconds range. It might look a little odd but it makes the tachymeter scale functional to that 60 times per minute while not imposing on the usefulness of the pulsometer scale.

[@user-kv8po4er2j]

Tissot reintroduced itself as a player with the gentleman

[@omurtaskin]

This might be the most beautiful Tissot I've ever seen.

[@casperskestrel]

Agreed. I never considered buying a Tissot until I saw this model.

[@eman331]

If you go to their boutique in NYC on 5th Ave, they have an all gold Gentleman priced at $11,995, that's not listed online.

[@poloX1220]

someone post a picture of the all gold tissot gentleman, i want to see that bracelet in gold

[@edebube]

ETA is inhouse. Same company.

[@nerijus734]

Got the Quartz version in black color and it's very nice.

[@GuyVanderAa]

This is another hit. Love it. Seriously considering getting one. Need to talk to the wife… 😎😅 Nice video, as always. 👍

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks mate!!

[@highwaystar3780]

Open Casebacks Cost No more to produce than a Solid Caseback. I have a $60 Watch with an Open Caseback. With that said, I Don't care for this watch as it looks generic as shit. And the review was awful. The worst thing you can do is Not to convey and demonstrate how the Action of the Pushers feel on a Chrono watch? So, you lost me...sorry mate!

[@anthonystevens8683]

Tissot are a great brand without any doubt. Great value even for the more expensive models from the brand considering what you get. An in house Tissot movement would cost a fortune to produce and could hike the price considerably. Using the very well proven Valjoux 7753 minus the self winding rotor therefore makes a lot of sense. I don't think Tissot are overlapping Longines though. The prices may overlap but the specs at that crossover point do not. As much as I like this watch I'll be sticking with my panda PRX chronograph but if I didn't have that I might have been tempted by the 516. On my wrist today is the PRX digital that allegedly nobody asked for 35mm mirror face version. I actually really like it. I remember round case digital LCD watches four decades ago and this one brings a smile to my face. A retro digital classic. Many thanks for sharing Harrison (as always) it's always interesting to hear your thoughts.

[@Dialandhands]

I just tried this on today and it’s great!! It wears wonderfully on wrist and the bracelet is super nice. Yes it doesn’t have a quick adjust system but for a big brand, sub $2000, mechanical chronograph it really is a great deal! Now if we compare this to the new Christopher Ward quartz chronometer chrono, the CW is much better for the money.

[@ldbloom]

Love this and so nice. I am wearing the Tissot Sea Star 2000 with blue green waves which I love. Tissot punches above its weight. Dial, hands, markers, movement all well done. This new chrono is very interesting.

[@jamied931]

Needs a better clasp tbh. No idea how large companies selling $1000+ watches with dogsh*t bracelets and clasps.

[@uncles2000]

Ask Grand Seiko. They have mastered the art of Japanese Shitbraclet.

[@watchnerds]

I was about to say look at grand seiko till the person above me stole the march 😂.

[@Rodolfoguerra12]

Try a grand more recent grand Seiko on, the quality of the bracelet is insane, it’s just the lack of on the fly adjustment that ruins it, no biggie for me though

[@watchnerds]

@@Rodolfoguerra12 went to their flagship boutique in Manhattan and while yes the dial, the hands and the case is impressive, I found some movement finishing and THE bracelet is really lackluster, well, grand seikos really meant to be worn on strap either way... Unless they're designing bracelet that much more unique and coherent with their design, I think they should've stay in Longines price range instead of going upmarket against Credor, Omega and Rolex.

[@Rodolfoguerra12]

@@watchnerds I own the GMT Quartz and the quality is amazing, even the bracelet at least for me. Also own Omega, Rolex, Tudor, I love them all equally for different reasons.

[@nedflanders3769]

It’s gorgeous, but for that price, Tissot needs to include a quick adjust clasp. My $300 Erebus has one.

[@imwinkelried]

I am very happy with my first manual wound watch. The PR 516 looks amazing & feels great on wrist, worth every penny. Grreat job Tissot👏👏👏

[@rnunez70681]

Do you know the weight of the watch?

[@tschoy9388]

Truely said, I have a choose difficulty between Longines Conquest Chrono. and Tissot PR516 Chrono. Longines is better in finishing and automatic. But double the price.

[@wen9321]

The appearance is very different, need to choose？？😂😂

[@itzlep7109]

Omega De Ville Chrono. Year 2000. It is such a sexy watch with its 36mm case.

[@andrewkaiser4660]

My 1st proper watch is a Tissot Seastar 2000 the blue dial with blue fabric strap and I absolutely love it. I’m seriously considering this watch as I’m looking at something smaller than the Seastar, I want a Motorsport style watch and chronograph also, it reminds me of my dads 70’s Breitling 🥰and I’m really happy with my Seastar and from what I hear the Valjoux 7753 is a much better movement than the regularly trashed powermatic 80 movement even though I’ve had no problems with it myself Thanks for the good vid and making me spend $1000 more on my next watch 😆✌🏽

[@erdnadre7566]

I am a male nurse in Zurich, Switzerland, and my patient gave me this Tissot.

[@user-bz5ys2du6r]

lol a male nurse. You're probably gay too

[@markmendoza3121]

Kind of hard to justify an $1800+ Tissot watch but it does looks great though.

[@isaiahgray6415]

Wearing the Hamilton Intra-Matic panda chrono today - another vintage-inspired affordable chronograph. The Tissot looks nice! There's a big market gap for relatively small, not-too-thick sports chronos that this model fits into well. Do you think the extra grand for the Longines is worth it?

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

I do think it’s worth it in terms of build quality but Tissot is definitely catching up. With that said, Longines is also getting really good with the new upgrades to the Hydroconquest GMT!!

[@user-dl6tb3yt2v]

Thanks God no pointless crown guard on a chronograph and no date. Congratulations Tissot. Beautiful watch.❤

[@Ascendsean35]

Tissot should be priced to be a nice "one and done" watch for the average person who wants to spend 400-600. Anything much above that price doesn't make sense to me. Seriously doubt these models will hold their value long term either

[@sennaracinglegend1438]

I have a very unpopulsr tissot luxury powermatic 80 white dial on bracelet. I have to say the bracelet is insanely good, even compared to rolex oyster feels more solid. The step dial in person adds so much more tridimensionality and the finishing is insane.

[@magnushatzidimitriou9544]

Wrist check: I'm wearing the Tissot Alpine on board special edition chronograph. It is a chunky 45 mm monster that I love!

[@khronokraze]

I like this a lot. I would consider getting one.

[@luiso29]

I have an old quartz version, from around 2010-2011

[@E82N55]

ETA is Swatch, which includes Tissot. They should’ve done a closed case back to make the watch that much thinner.

[@watcheswithabdullah]

In-house movement is a term word that many Swiss brands throw around, while still quietly working with various manufacturers or buying off a movement manufacturer altogether, instead of themselves directly producing the movements. As long as we can see things like higher magnetic resistance, better finishing and perhaps better accuracy, off-the-shelf are totally fine even for higher priced pieces, within that $2 - 5k range. The more in-house a brand becomes, the more expensive the service costs are going to go. Don't think Tissot owners would want to pay Omega money for regular servicing.

[@AceDayton523]

Can't believe they settled for the Mineral instead of the Sapphire crystal, for the price range I believe Sapphire crystal should be automatic for this watch especially since all my cheaper Tissot automatics are made with Sapphire 😢🤔

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

It is sapphire crystal. You must be thinking of a Seiko.....

[@AceDayton523]

​@@jasongultjaeff9397At 3:26 he mentions that they using Mineral Bezel instead of the Sapphire

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

@@AceDayton523 yes it's a mineral bezel. Your post implies the watches face glass. Maybe just the phrasing.

[@AceDayton523]

​@@jasongultjaeff9397 I actually thought he was originally referring to the bezel and glass face, I checked the watch details separately and saw it's Sapphire crystal for the face, For a moment I was so bummed out 🤣🤣 Thanks for the relief 🙌🔥

[@matthewa6346]

Got the quartz version - love it! But would prefer the mechanical version as it’s stunning.

[@gavinwhite9743]

Lol, Rolex churning out 1.1 million watches has mass produced movements. Tissot is using an in house movement, ETA is from the same group. Longines is determined to squish Tudor. Longines has better heritage, and produced it's own designs, unlike the Tudor homage brand, dedicated to cheaper chunky vintage Rolex.

[@BadGuyDennis]

I would not consider this piece simply because of the mineral crystal. I also wouldn't consider the Longines Conquest Chronograph because of its modular movement. What I recommend is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer Chronograph.

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

It is a sapphire crystal. Check the specs on it.

[@ahha6304]

Looks similar to the one Roger Moore worn in Live and Let Die, love it

[@phild5813]

It's a nice watch but as the brand stands today, I can't justify spending that much on a Tissot. The seastar 1000 power80 is the limit in my opinion

[@tamirdossiea3680]

I think the "game" they are playing is marking up the unit the first quarter or 2 of the year only to slash prices to a more affordable price the holiday season. I expect to see these hover around the $1200-$1250 price range by October of this year. As has been happening with there higher ticket items year over year. Where in $1200 for this would make a sweet pick up. They did the same thing with the sideral. Paid $1095 when first came out..... hovering at $695 now. Both are very toolish in nature.

[@GuyVignati]

They just did an exact looking edition of their PR516 back in the 70s, don't see any particular strategy in goind back into vintage since it's almost like this for every brand right now...

[@nikc1313]

Even sub 200 quid ali express watches offer on the fly micro adjust clasps. The pressed flip lock style just isnt acceptable at this price point any more. Also on a personal note i can never bond with a watch with a matt black/grey dial. They dont have enough visual interest and i eventually get bored. The longines with its sunburst dial looks like a much more expensive and interesting product

[@Greeneyes3005]

I have an automatic PRS 516….Why make the newer model a downgrade to manual wind? Seems a very strange decision to me.. but I guess a 68hr power reserve is a compensating factor.. 🤔lovely watch though.

[@Isofile]

So do you consider it to be better than the longines?

[@danryan4137]

I think the quartz two tone is a great looker. I can’t get my head around 2400.00 Canadian for a Tissot automatic with a crap clasp,bracelet.

[@BlackWipeout]

3 quartz version is also here ;) Nice review

[@jondoe5590]

I've held both, the Tissot is a very pretty watch and a great quality piece for that price however, the Longines is noticeably better.

[@johntoal627]

Wait 3 months and you will get this piece with a sizeable discount.

Compare to Hamilton Intramatic Chrono Manual, same movement with a 3rd sub dial, different looks, etc.

[@syktgrei]

I suspect Tissot aren't really trying to eat from Longines, I think everyone is heading towards higher value/prices (as you said just after I started typing this)

Better bargain for the price than this for sure. This kind of price is way out of Tissot's league. You're up near Tudor and easily into Longines or Oris.

Well executed and keeping it under 2k$

[@aqualust5016]

Honestly I don’t mind a bit of progressive cost change over a few decades, so long as the quality and brand identity is maintained or even improved. At that point the increased cost to produce is earned through hard work and dedication to the supporters that got them there. Now if Tudors all hit 10k+ by 2030 we’re in a for a messed up watch market and a ton more Seikos are gonna be sold.

[@nikhilc8681]

What's wrong with having an ETA movement, especially at this price point 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@anjav6]

Tissot brand will(probably) never produce an in-house movement cause the don’t wont to compete with other brand in swatch group that are positioned higher in hierarchy such as Omega and Glashutte Original who are doing that job. Even Longines isn’t producing their own movements but rather having their movements being produced from ETA exclusively just for them and those movements are slightly better modified than movements found in lover range of Swatch family.

[@laurens4561]

Should change the logo on the dial and remove the 1853.

First of all tissot had 2000 eur models before not just last 3 year or so,prs 516 automatic last two generations are in that price range and they are.great watches,but all of watch you tubers are ignoring them because of 45 mm size,and also longines is using eta movements, they are just modefied for them,and so is this one for tissot,please do some researche and be objective

[@emanuelemontecalvo5165]

Scusa se scrivo in italiano ma non conosco l'inglese ho visto il Video con il traduttore. Video scritto molto bene. Sei bravo perché dici le cose in maniera esatta. A me non e piaciuto il logo del orologio. La scritta Tissot potevano farla con il logo Tissot degli anni 70 avrebbe avuto un fascino più indovinato all originale . I contatori cronografici di forma rotonda sono belli, ma negli anni 70 erano di forma quadrata Non è un orologio che se lo guardi da lontano lo riconosci subito....la forma la puoi confondere con un orologio di qualsiasi casa. Il modello Tissot al quarzo ha un fondello chiuso con un bel disegno in acciaio. Il fondello trasparente in vetro di questo modello ci permette di guardare un calibro industriale. Il prezzo del orologio nuovo per me è un No. È molto furbo chi lo compra usato in buone condizioni. Il valore dell orologio sarà più economico e giusto per questo modello. Non è un orologio da collezione ma per una raccolta il mio personale punto di vista. Grazie per la pazienza per leggere il mio lungo commento

[@dannyfree1120]

This just needs to be auto. Better clasp too.

[@RK-zo9vs]

No, no, no, they are all homages of the Omega Speedmaster

[@theaussiewhinger]

That's a pretty simplistic take. At that rate, they are all homages to the Speedmaster. While they may share some characteristics, all the watches you've mentioned bring different things to the table.

[@kleepach]

@theaussiewhinger , if we look at the Speedy and Daytona now, they have totally different philosophies, whereas it's clear that Zenith did try to imitate the Daytona style. I mean, just look at the same kind of bracelet, the outer massive tachymeter scale, applied markers, absolutely identical style of hands. Speedy doesn't have any of these
