I just purchased this watch. I have 7 inch wrists and I have no problem with its size and it sits firm without any wobble. I have more expensive watches but the Seastar gets the most compliments. The dial is simply amazing. The way it plays with the light is mesmerising. I am not a diver but I wanted a rugged outdoor watch for camping. Now that I have it I think it’s too flashy for knocking it around on a camping trip. I am using it as a dress watch surprisingly - it looks that classy. It also slips under my shirt cuffs no problem. I had my eye on the Omega Seamaster with the wave dial but for some reason the Seastar just does it for me. An ISO 6425 600 metre approved dive watch for the price Tissot is asking has to make this one of the best dive watches on the market. The watch keeps time within 2 seconds a day. Pretty good performance and with 80 hours of power reserve. This watch is a winner.

Great Review, the Tissot 2000 has a Nivachron balance -spring in Titanium alloy not silicon which provides both shock & anti magnetic i figure they have done for those plastic watch purists its a eta C07.111 it might calm a few nerves but i doubt it, i have both a cheaper one & a 2000 i use the silicon one for work as i need the 80 hour for over the weekend & found it does run close to that, found no issues at all.

i picked up one of these last week whilst on a city break in Rome. Ive got the green / teal version - it is stunning when the light catches it. One thing worth noting is that the movement is a derivative of the ETA 2824 2 movement slowed down to 5bps from the normal 8bps. I wish theyd stayed with the faster run speed for a smoother second hand movement but thats the choice tissot made when aiming for 80 hours of power reserve (which is outstanding). Accuracy wise im seeing about +1 sec / day so well within COSC standards (even though the watch is not a certified chronometer.)

I put it down and haven't touched it until Wednesday morning when i noticed it stopped at midnight. So my watch ran for 7 days... and i'm very, very happy with the watch.

I have this exact watch, the dial is a darker teal than normal but just gorgeous. I have a blue dial new Omega Seamaster 300 and Tissot pulls off the 'wave' effect much better than my Omega. This is much bigger than the Seamaster 300 and has more presence on my 7.5 inch wrist. This reviewer is pretty critical for a watch that cost a 1000 bucks. There is no way my Omega is 5X the watch this is. They get it because its an Omega, I get that but this watch is a steal for $1000. I bought it with Tissot black rubber strap. Highly recommended!!

Yes, I like to see the movement regardless. My watch keeps COSC time. There's nothing wrong with a watch looking good. The see-through case back does nothing to take away from the watch. A lot of dive watches have a case back that looks like this even without the saphire crystal. In all, this is a very high-quality dive watch. The script does nothing to detract from the dial. Most dive watches are big for people with small wrists. Saying it is too pretty to be a dive watch is an inane comment. Seriously.

Since the watch is ISO 6425-certified, I assume that the simple, wide and flat sword-style hands are for legibilty in low light environments. It's an amazing value as it rivals the Omega Planet Ocean when it comes to specifications and the Planet Ocean is over 6x the price. Iown one of these and I absolutely love it. Mind you, I got the deep blue because I wasn't a fan of the teal. As for the size, Ive worn an Invicta Grand Diver for almost a decade and so I'm used to big and heavy watches. As for the lume, well, it's more than adequate and my night watch hasT100 tritium cylindersin it so it's not a big deal for me.

I just bought the dark blue 2000 on a flash sale on Amazon for $550. I actually will dive with the watch though certainly nowhere near its capabilities. My friend has an Omega Seamaster ($5k?) and we vacation quite a bit in Mexico, many times driving down Baja to fish and dive. Im a bigger guy with 8" wrists my friend is bigger than me. I've never had any real problems down there but losing a $500 watch as opposed to a $5k watch to some "road tax" seems like something I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over (as long as my dumbass buddy was the one to lose his Omega as well). my real question is - I was wondering if a watchmaker can get rid of that "T" second hand and replace it with something less obnoxious?
@thetimebombardier Жыл бұрын
greetings Ash, thank you sir and welcome to the channel!! I confess I'm slightly jealous of your diving off baja... would love that!! ad yes I hear you, losing or damaging a 5k watch is not something i could forgive myself for!!! Good question on the seconds hand and yes I would say it's something fairly straightforward as long as they pick the right size but that shouldn't be an issue for a pro watchmaker, it's a big counter balance but it is a long seconds hand and it will be regulated to the movement so fingers crossed it works!! keep me posted please!! cheers!!!

I'm not sure that is the teal dial, it looks too dark and too blue. I think that's the deep blue because it looks exactly like the one that I'm wearing. I agree that the lume isn't fantastic but it only had to be good enough to pass the ISO certification. Considering the price and everything else about this watch, I can deal with good, but not incredible amounts of lume. I think that what's kinda superfluous is that they coated the hands, indices and date window frame with RHODIUM. Like, I don't actually see the point of it as polished stainless steel would've looked the same. The watch is basically hermetically-sealed so it's not like anything inside would corrode anyway. It's like they incurred that cost for the sake of it.
