Swiss, COSC Certified, and Cheap! The Tissot PR100

[@johannesstevens1929]

I have a Tissot PR100 for 15 years and it cost me today $240 to service it. The same amount I bought 15 years ago at a respectable dealer in South Africa.

[@cosmaracorosu]

Johannes Stevens Hopefully another 15 years for that money :-)

[@rogerfilerable]

If replace the existing bracelet with a nice quality aftermarket oyster bracelet that tapers down to 16mm buckle will be an interesting combo

[@mariog7213]

do you know of one that fits properly?

[@misterfreeze6545]

I just ordered one from Jomashop... now $264 w/ a $5 coupon and free shipping! It's an amazing deal, and has to be the world's cheapest Chronometer! This is even lower than the Sellita based Glycine Combat Sub and Combat 6 that I got for $279 each! I'd rate Tissot as the hands-down best value in Swiss watches. Their watches like the PR100 compete against Seiko, and you often find Tissot now in shops that sell mostly Seiko/Citizen/Casio. I find Tissot to be of better quality. You won't find a Seiko that performs to COSC standards, not even JDM models costing three times as much! For the same money you'd be putting this up against the Seiko 5 or the Presage, and I think the Tissot clearly beats them. While the PR100 does have a few limitations as you point out, you really can't complain much at this price! It has basic styling, but then, so does Rolex, and this is about close as you can come. The PR100 is spot on for what the stereotypical Chronometer should look like, businesslike and functional. I prefer it's styling to Tissot's more expensive Chronometer Models. On the plus side, Tissot has very nice finishing typical of most Swiss brands, (but not quite to Rolex's and Tudor's level of perfection) and it does offer beveled case edges where Rolex does not. The Tissot even offers a date, while Rolexes like the OP39, Explorer, and even Base Submariner don't. I don't mind the Cyclops, I think it gives the watch a little unique detail. Tissot actually does a better job of integrating the bracelet end pieces into the cases than Rolex. It's seamless, where Rolex leaves an unsightly gap between bezel and bracelet. Minor complaints I have, is that Tissot's bracelet oddly won't lay flat when off the wrist, it just retains it's curved shape. The links are only single piece, rather than the 3-piece links they appear to be. And as pointed out, it has a tinny clasp. Hand winding is a bit stiff and difficult. But, I feel that the PR100's only big shortcoming is that even though it's a Chronometer, it uses the most basic version of the Powermatic movement of the non-Chronometer model, the C07.111, instead of the nicer C07.611 used in all Swatch brands other than Tissot and Certina. The "High Tech" escapement uses the plastic pallet lever and wheel with no ruby stones, borrowed from the low-end, robot made, Swatch System 51 movements as seen in base Tissot automatics. That's why it has only 23 Jewels instead of 25! Odd choice for a Chronometer, and I don't think it's accuracy will stand up as well over the long haul. However one benefit is that the watch is very quiet, and doesn't make a ticking sound. It takes a strong mic to even pick it up to measure the timing. But the fact that it can be certified at all, is certainly testament to the accuracy of such a basic movement, at least in the short term! I scoped it out of the box at ZERO in FOUR positions and -2 & -3 in the other two positions. With a bit of beat error of less than .4ms in a few positions. Mine runs exactly on time sitting in the box, but about -4 to -6 sec/day on the wrist. The adjustment screws of the balance wheel appear to be set in the default positions and there is no regulator, so I doubt that these are even adjusted at the factory. (Apart from the laser trueing of the balance wheel.) I'm sure it will probably run well enough for several years, but with daily wear I would think 5 years would be pushing it. With greater wear of plastic and getting brittle, there is a greater chance of timing deterioration and parts breakage over time, than with steel. But, for infrequent wearers like myself that own lots of watches, I don't think it's too big of an issue. And you could afford to buy a lifetime supply of 25 of these Tissots for the price of a single Rolex!

[@misterfreeze6545]

@Ruel Marquez This is just Timex's marketing jargon from the seventies, a time when plastics were replacing metal, not because they were better, just cheaper. The standard in watch movements remains metal parts with jeweled bearings. Only low-end movements contain plastic. The only possible advantage is that they may keep running longer without oiling and proper servicing, but not necessarily as accurately! Some high-end movements are going with Silicon levers and escapements, but this is not plastic. Tissot makes both varieties, but is one of the few to use plastic in their cheaper models. Seiko also uses plastic for some movement parts, but not the critical escapement.

[@Peter-2704]

Tidy entry level Swiss watch but that date window! Ditch it or execute it properly, that's what I say.

[@johnfrei9057]

Peter 2704 It is a bit odd to put a round cyclops over a square date window but honestly as an owner of this watch I never noticed it until I watched this video.

[@Pentti_Hilkuri]

I prefer no date over any cyclops anyday.

[@djedgejr]

Agreed...That round cyclops over a square date window is hideous ! Tissot what were you thinking ? Go for the TISSOT PR 100 AUTOMATIC BLACK DIAL MEN'S WATCH T101.407.11.051.00 for a few pennies more and you have yourself a fine watch !

[@choohiokyu2140]

Took me 3 months to decide buying a Tissot PR100 COSC during Dec Xmas holidays unfortunately it was out of stock and I had to wait till late Jan 2020 for the new stock . This watch run pretty accurate ( about -1 sec in a week ) I left in the drawer on Friday night and put on my SKX for my weekend and the watch is still ticking on Monday morning no need to adjust your watch . Truly a Everyday watch for Monday to Friday . Price is truly affordable too at USD 274++ with shipping .

[@Ax07605]

I think the benefit of having a simple dial is at you can pair it with straps very easily. The money went into what's important in a dress watch, the watch. I think really nice bracelets are a must with sports watches, however dress watches have some more room.

[@MikeyFFA500]

Love the watch, hate the round cyclops over the square date window..

[@thevelointhevale1132]

The top end of Tissot's Automatic range is exceptional quality at a price point that puts Longines and Oris to shame in the same class. I own the Powermatic 80 in the 2018 Seastar 1000; what a watch!

[@jasonwb6884]

Cosc certified watch for less than $300. and a 80 hr power reserve....That's crazy, very good value.

[@res00xua]

I can recommend both the watch and Jomashop. I got one there as well. Very satisfied with it and with the Omega that I purchased there as well.

[@larryleyba6496]

I agree. I really like the classic simplicity of this watch and I love Tissot. I can also vouch for Jomashop it's one of my two or three favorite online watch stores. Long Island Watch has also been a great experience for me.

[@JustinSerda]

I have bought a lot of stuff from Jomashop and probably will never buy anything over $500 or so from them again. I bought a Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch from them and within a few months, without any damage or impact the start stop pusher fell off never to be seen again. They flat out refused to fix it. I even looked back through old photos and found that the pusher was actually already loose when it arrived and I just didn't notice it. Had to ship it off to Omega for repair. I'll keep buying from them with cheaper stuff but no more big purchases.

[@res00xua]

Sorry you had that experience Justin.

[@modelandrei6599]

Better bang for buck movement for less than 300 $ is the bulova uhf 262 khz. Not swiss I know, but if accuracy is your thing then a few seconds a year sound better than few seconds a day. And another thing, I think that a powermatic 80 movement already has a accuracy of +/- 5 sec a day. I noticed that in my hamilton. If anyone else has a powermatic please back me up. Than you for another great review! All the best

[@MarkM58]

You did a video last week that included the two-tone/white dial. I ordered one and it arrived today from Jomashop. The COSC certificate was missing, but other than that, everything was fine. I missed the $20 discount. LOL. The watch is very nice for the price-point. I have an 8" wrist and it wears well. This is my first Tissot. We will see how it hangs with my SEIKOs, G-Shocks, and Oceanus watches!

[@msc_2253]

Nice review! I have the silver face version of this watch and wear it as a semi-dress watch. It's not the most exciting to look at, but it is very comfortable, keeps great time and fits well within a collection.

[@_PGleo86]

Got my Aqua Terra (38mm, blue, on bracelet) from Jomashop and I have to say I was impressed with the service, shipping, and (of course) the watch. Glad you're partnering with them a bit! Great video as always!

[@MAC-ez2rq]

Got one two weeks ago. Running good so far (automatic and white dial). Plus it has a COSC. I replaced the cheap bracelet into a leather strap. It looks better now as my daily watch.

[@77cjam]

It's a decent price for a good brand. It does look a lot nicer from far away which is perhaps telling. But I do think nice overall package, for a good price and nice to see a mainstream brand reviewed rather than yet another microbrand

[@stevek8829]

On the link to the Joma page the only watch they mention COSC is the quartz edition-for $100 less. If course many non Swiss could be but only Swiss need apply.

[@jeanlefranc3817]

OK, the date window does not look great, but COSC automatic Swiss watch, from the Swatch group, with 80 hours power reserve, solid end-links, easy to wear size, all of this for less than $ 300. A no-brainer. One more reason to talk newbies away from D Wellington or Invicta

[@tristonsemper5]

Well. I have an titanium tissot pr100 AND an Invicta pro diver in the collection. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Seiko nh35a automatic invicta. It is absolutely brilliantly polished, has a screw down crown and it is much more eye catching then the tissot. However i have to agree on the trash named Daniel Wellington

[@MarkM58]

@@tristonsemper5 I agree. I have 3 Pro Divers with the NH035A and one with the Sellita 200W. All are excellent watches with good bracelets and solid end-links. If they didn't have the Invicta name on them all the watch snobs would love them. BTW, before they start with I "don't know what I am talking about", I own 54 watches that consist mainly of SEIKO divers, G-Shocks, and Oceanus watches! The Tissot PR-100 Two-Tone joined the collection today. So now it is 55! LOL

[@BarnOwl61]

Jody, this watch deserves respect, but it isn't exciting as you stated. Most people won't, but i think the Cyclops is brilliant!

[@gid-vicious]

I like the cyclops! Kind of sets it apart from the non chronometer one and adds some character.

[@raymartin9129]

I completely agree. Just got mine today and it's quite the head-turner.

[@larryleyba6496]

There are times when simple is classic. I do like the aesthetics of this watch when in the mood. I have a Seiko solar that resembles this watch, I think I paid $80 for it about 6 or 7 years ago and although my bracelet that came with it fell apart about 2 years ago I have found the classic simplicity of the solar has made it a strap monster. Everything I put on looks smoking hot. It's not a watch I wear everyday, but when in the mood, it always makes me happy. Being solar, I often forget about it but when the time comes I am usually within a few seconds even when it's been several months between wears. Good work Jody. Keep it up.

[@jasongennero2925]

For $325 you can get a mathey Tissot type 21 I believe it's called, it has a chronometer grade selita sw-200 in it. And it's also from jomashop so you'd get the same ten or twenty dollar discount as well. That's what you should be reviewing next. Trust me I know all the best deals on jomashop I stalk their website daily for good deals. And that chronometer mathey Tissot for $325 on the leather strap with the discount $305. They even have a patina lumed one for the same price.

@@somethingnotmaterial I wouldn't buy in that price range, you'll lose too much money, usually a thousand dollar watch is worth less than a thousand and when you pay a thousand for it it turns to five hundred when you peel off the stickers brother but if I had too choose a thousand dollar watch I'd probably buy a Gucci pantheon automatic with a chronometer grade eta 2824-2 in it they are around $800-$1000 brand new and they remind me of an ap Royal oak without being an homage to it. Screw links, integrated bracelet, and everyone knows what Gucci is.i hate it when I have to explain to a woman what a breguet is or a Girard perriguex . You'll never have to explain what a Gucci is to anyone and it's a damn good watch that will get a nod from any watch enthusiast. Unfortunately you can only find them on e Bay, they are rare and Gucci doesn't make them anymore. I don't know why. They really are top quality. Other than that if say buy a Swiss watch company diver if you want a diver for $400 you won't find anything better brand new. But you really should just save your money for a Rolex. Which isn't the best watch you could buy for what they want for them but they will always go up in price after you buy them never down. Other than that look at saint honore, mathey Tissot, Tissot on jomashop they have the best prices rn

[@charlie-obrien]

Tissot is a brand that I only became aware of through the JOMW channel and at first I was lukewarm over their offerings. But I have to say that I like this watch and see a lot of value in it. As you say, it is a good office dresser with simplified dial and hands that has a great power reserve. Sounds perfect. Of course the main selling point is the COSC movement. We don't see that everyday for under $300. This one is a winner, Jody and I'm glad to see your new association with Joma watch return a dividend so quickly.

[@gpearce11]

I’m definitely curious, but I’d probably get the standard version because it loses the date cyclops, and the even lower price is obviously nice. I appreciate that they lumed the hands, but it’s definitely a shame they didn’t put any other lume on the dial. A small lume dot at the end of the indexes (even only at the quarters) is all that was required.

[@NWolfefan]

Impressive features at that price indeed. Replace that circular cyclops with a square one to match the date window (or remove it altogether) , add a milled clasp, and raise the price towards $400, and it'd still be a deal. One question though - did I miss something? Is that a friction fit caseback, and not a threaded one? If so, that needs to be changed as well. Regarding internal cyclops, my vintage (70's) Accutron Deep Sea has one, and nicely done as well.

[@calebbutton1939]

Hi Jodi. Love your channel and another great review. I was scoping out this watch months ago and at the time couldn’t find any reviews of substance, but ended up pulling the trigger anyway just based on the specs and less than impressive jomashop photos... So I bought the (nearly white) silver dial version, personally think it’s the most handsome in the range and figured it would be a great every day watch with great bang for buck. 4 months in, I’m still very pleased the (nearly white) silver dial is extremely versatile it goes with almost any outfit, it’s my easiest and most reliable “grab and go” and with that 80 hour power reserve and my rate of reaching for it I average only needing to hand wind it about once a month. The silver dial’s sunburst brushing is more easily recognizable and it is a subtle but nice feature. Personally I love the quirky cyclops, but the awful bracelet had to go. Currently I have it on a random brown leather strap I had laying around it’s nothing special but looks significantly better. I found there isn’t enough space between spring bar and case for a normal nato. (tried out of curiosity) Jodi, wondering if you or anyone else has found and can recommend a suitable replacement bracelet, or handsome/suitable leather or rubber straps? It would be nice to have the option to keep it on for a quick swim if I wanted to. Cheers

Date integration is a little odd but looks like a great everyday watch

[@brianmsahin]

A COSC certified Chronometer is all very well, but there are many of those to choose from .........but, there's still only one Cherenometer. 😉

Nice looking watch

[@paulmcshea7054]

Nice piece 👍

[@markembry4049]

great job as always. i have had a watch to catch my eye its a compadre on gearbest looks good would like to see if you have ever or would consider a reveiw on that watch ,one plus for it it has a seagull movement. thanks for consideration

[@TinBin-Craig]

[@AntoineZertyty]

The new versions of those watches dont have the cyclop anymore i think

[@paulmiles3457]

I am in the market for a Tissot PR100, but I would prefer the Quartz to be honest.

[@johannesstevens1929]

Go for another timepiece, it will cost you more to service on the long run, I know 🤑😕 15 years with PR100 auto quartz caliber $=240

[@tynannida9642]

Seiko needs to start using that movement

[@weeks55]

I'm such a fan of the PR100 - especially how Tissot offers versions in quartz and automatic. To me the best feature isn't obvious - it feels so comfortable on the wrist. Has to be in the top 3 non-diver watches I recommend for "Just One GOOD Watch" set along with sapphire Eco-Drives, Seikos, and Certinas. I think I'd sooner buy the Certina DS-4 if it were my money - very similar overall, but I prefer the bracelet on that one, and right now Jomashop is claiming to sell it with a non-Powermatic ETA movement. Each movement has its own strengths but that one has the nice 4Hz sweep. :-)

[@johannesstevens1929]

I own one (PR100) for 15 years and wound recommend one...services alone WILL set you back a few $$$ on the long run 🙏

[@johannesstevens1929]

@@growsanctuary2867 no you can't compare it with the new technology...but the name disappoint as a entry brand...

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

Great review as always. Could you please tell me if this watch comes with the silicate hairspring? Just wondered, because if just purchased the Seastar 1000 with the black strap and blue dial of which is not Cosc certified but looks like an identical movement to the PR100 you've reviewed?

[@shonkeymoulder6972]

Hey Jody, I’d like to ask if the date on this piece instantly changes at midnight or is it a slow change?

[@DuxEtRex]

I love Tissot. It was my first real watch. A square, with bracelet that I've tried over and over to find again. But to no avail. This watch though, is as boring as watching baseball. Disappointing. But as always, keep up the good work!👍🏻

[@terrymccorran6496]

Nice very good value watch. Now wall clock where did you get it please?????

[@terrymccorran6496]

@Michael L can't find one like that, and the reviews are awful of those I've seen. Good enough?

[@0smodius]

Can anyone say whether the display back is Sapphire?

[@Watchmade]

You can‘t do nothing wrong with a Tissot. Should be in every collection as a everyday watch. Also very strap friendly fits with stainless steel but also with leather in black brown and even a nice vintage green.

[@carsaregood911]

Why is the PRX P80 not COSC certified? As I understand it uses the same movement?

[@Bobsbargainbasement]

Nice piece

[@robertbrandywine]

Is this the ETA 2824 or the Powermatic 80? You said Powermatic 80, but mine says Powermatic 80 on the face. Anyway, I've heard the PR 100 has been discontinued.

[@bohaulund9594]

I know this is late, but when looking for vintage watches a rule of thumb is, if the hands got lume the dial/indices should have lume aswell. This Tissot would fail a vintage test.
