MIDO Oceanstar Tribute vs Tissot Seastar 1000 - Swatch Group Affordable Dive Watch Comparison

[@BCallum]

Think that Mido Tribute is going to happen for me. Almost pulled the trigger mid Dec. Figured I would wait til Feb when I was better prepared to make the financial jump.

[@DFlemming]

I personally prefer the Tissot.

[@TheRealTrueFabio]

Mido, black, 40.5mm, absolutely perfect in dimensions. I Hope One day we ll see a brushed Tribute with Oyster bracelet.

[@MrFelix002]

I just bought the Tissot, can’t wait to hold it in my hands

[@MrFelix002]

Finally got my brand new Tissot seastar loving it, the bezel is great I guess they updated it very well made watch for the price I paid

[@waltersjohn6339]

I own the Mido. It is really beautiful. One major flaw is that the lug width is 21mm. Finding suitable straps is difficult.

[@hillogical]

The Tissot really looks like a younger brother to the Seamaster. I really like the date at 6.

[@tonyr669]

Then you should see the top of the line Mido Oceanstar with the wave dial! Spectacular!

[@hillogical]

@@tonyr669 I really like that one two. I'm not sure which one to get

[@vintageswiss9096]

@@tonyr669 then you should see the seastar 2000 at half the price.

[@Ahmad-vw5uw]

Dear Chris, Many thanks for the comprehensive comparison. Mido is better by far, 40 mm, Day-Date, more dressy, good looking, better dial, nice bracelet and bezel action, with closed screw down back, as a dive watch.

[@denisdaly1708]

i prefer the look of the Mido

[@gregwebb1107]

I almost bought the Mido in November. The high polish pushed me away. Love the day/date complication with the color match wheel. It may still happen, who knows. Nice comparison.

[@TheKhazar]

the movements are not exactly identical. Mido sports the C07.6 version whereas Tissot has C07.1. Tissot's version is put into cheaper watches and has plastic escapement fork and wheel, whereas Mido's version has these parts in metal.

[@Bhethar]

Mido looks like a 2K watch, goergeous and so so elegant! The Seastar don’t know why but it reminds me a Tudor from afar mixed with an Oris.

[@keefw361]

It looks more like a 5k watch looks quite expensive

[@kl5696]

Of all the reviews on KZbin for the Midi Tribute, yours is the only one on the black version. Everyone else reviewed the blue version. The black seem better to me as it match more closely to the original watch from the 70s. Also, the date-day wheel matches the black dial and doesn't break up the symmetry as much.

[@bradd3840]

Love the Mido over the Tissot but I just bought the other affordable Swatch Group luxury diver; the Longines HydroConquest. Paid the same price I paid for my Seamaster to be serviced this summer (yet another Swatch Group product). I should have it by next Wednesday.

[@ramspencer5492]

The Mido is quite nice.... Good dimensions too... Not crazy about the lack of brushing. I ever like fine brushing on top of the lugs on dress watches when that's available... Not an all polished fan. The Tisso is just another oversized dive watch.... Maybe if I had an eight inch wrist but I might still opt for adding 40mm! Tissot isn't paying attention to the market at all and are leaving a lot of money on the table....Thanks for the video.

[@han7902]

In the gray market, with same mesh bracelet, Tissot sea star is 40% plus below mido ocean star's price. Beside price, case size difference and extra date feature from mido are the main deciding factors to get which one.

[@lapajaenelojo2153]

Better to save to get the Oris Aquis than that Tissot homage. The Mido seems more interesting an original.

[@LouisMorales-zx3jm]

Mido looks really nice.

[@MikeMloungeMain]

I have the Tissot Seastar and I'm very happy 😊

[@MikeMloungeMain]

Scammers

[@L3M0N4D3C4NDY]

Considering the price being more reasonable and having a nice 300 m water resistance, I’m leaning towards Tissot although I like Mido’s vintage inspired design and the smaller case size. I’m planning to visit the boutique to try on the Milanese mesh variant of the Seastar 1000 to see if it does any better than the normal metal bracelet on my tiny 5.9 inch wrist.

[@siraudzvlog4533]

I got Tissot and I love it!❤

[@deej9367]

Mido all the way. Seems like company's are doing the large polished center links on a lot of watches recently, I'm not a fan at all.

[@japd7897]

The Mido is soooo much nicer.

[@sontungnguyen9857]

Mido seems nicer to me as its size is easy to wear. But I hate the weak lume, Mido could have done much better at this price.

[@alejandrodelvalle2790]

Mido all the way!

[@japd7897]

Sin lugar a dudas.

[@josephhall4464]

Dial proportions, bracelet seal the deal for Mido imho.

[@MrFelix002]

My Seastar bezel is perfect they fixed I’ve had my watch for a year

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

The Tissot has a Oris Aquis vibe to it looking at it straight on.

[@135ipocketrocket2]

Mido just has that outstanding retro vibe. Never been a fan of those overly fat hands on the Tissot. Entire watch just looks cheaper. Glad that it is, lol, but that Mido looks worth it's price and stands out in its design.

[@135ipocketrocket2]

@+❶ ❸３１７１❼３➃❼❹hitviaWhatsapp I'll have law enforcement contact you, lol.

[@cpowerca]

Tissot looks young and fresh, Mido looks elegant and conservative. Cant go wrong with neither..

[@LLSicilia]

yeah two different styles of watch, different type of appeal

[@drkbarry]

Excellent review. Love the Mido but all that polishing bound to be a scratch merchant. Are the indexes applied or printed by the way?

[@michaelriera6277]

To fix sticky bracelets try submerging in warm water then clean with dishwashing soap and rinse well under warm water. Should fix or at least help .

[@DaTryHardCamper]

If theres a 41mm seastar I'd get that one probably.

[@waynesellers4078]

I know that for the money the tissot is probably better in every way but I would still have the mido

[@AlgorithmicApostasy]

I prefer the Seastar

[@MrZanzibar123]

Interesting comparison, Chris, thanks! Happy new year!

[@ashendrannaidoo]

Hi Chris, great video... Can you maybe do a comparison between other swatch group watches like the tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium vs the longines conquest blue dial for example... Would be really entertaining to see the difference in quality to value

[@jims4539]

At these prices the bracelets and clasps should better. Cheaper in the Swatch Group is no excuse.

[@jonsonnenschein1253]

I prefer the Tissot, but not that color. Make it the black dial and a chrono. I like a watch in the 42 - 45mm range.

[@red75v67]

That 'T' second hand is just wrong. Mido for me.

[@Kalmar917]

The Mido.

[@michaelcano1591]

Where did u actually buy the Tissot from? I see them on discount but don’t wanna get burned…

[@luked2767]

Prefer the mido but don't like The powermatic I hate that they lowered the beat rate and the ease of adjustment. I love the idea of the 2824 with a silicone hair sprin, better balance wheel, upgraded spring but keep it at 28,800bph and keep the micro ajust screw so you don't need to ajust the balance or replace it to have it regulated. There are some good quality Chinese based 2824 movements with an upgraded 80ish power reserve while keeping 28,800bph.

[@jodysilvia2]

Happy new year brother.

[@jjbuckmaster7059]

I’ll take the Tissot! Thanks Chris!

[@nazreenmonash4372]

i like tissot..

[@Moosestuff10]

Anyone by chance know that this guy has a 7.5 inch wrist?

[@Petruccio1881]

the only reason I'm watching this video is Mido that has day/date complication

[@fungus70]

Mido's clasp is highly polished. Won't that just get scratched like crazy ?

[@waltersjohn6339]

I own this watch. YES'1. The clasp does get scratched like crazy. So, I only wear it for "Dressy occasions".

[@user-tx4wj7qk4t]

​@@waltersjohn6339that's silly. You could just get the clasp brushed. Also nobody is looking at your clasp

[@efenli]

👍👍👍 Nice Watch 👍👍👍

[@sanchez-ro6gl]

Having a watch named after an ex spurs striker is a big no no .

[@tonyr669]

I don’t like the fat hands on the Tissot. Otherwise very nice.

[@johnraba9322]

Tissot is better.

[@wurf5336]

"affordable" 1100€ xD

[@user-td2xf2xy3j]

Tissot👍, Mido👎

[@imranchowdhury4972]

Tissot Seastar is one of the most ugliest watch to compare with any watch.
