Is Tissot Automatic worth it? ›

While they might not possess the decades-long heritage of some competitors, Tissot's reputation for producing reliable, well-crafted timepieces positions them as a wise choice for those who seek a harmonious blend of Swiss excellence and contemporary design.

The short answer is no, you cannot technically overwind an automatic watch. Unlike manual watches, which require the wearer to wind the crown to store energy in the mainspring, automatic watches utilize a rotor mechanism that winds the mainspring through the motion of the wearer's wrist.

Tissot offers a wide range of high-quality watches that you will love to wear and will last you a lifetime. Additionally, since they cost significantly less than many of their Swiss made counterparts, it is quite a bit easier to own multiple different Tissot watches to provide you with different timepiece options.

To restore the power reserve of your watch to more than 42 hours, you need to turn the crown about 32 times (clockwise). Whenever you wear your watch, the automatic mechanism is wound every time you move your wrist.

So, is Seiko better than Tissot? In the end, the idea of Tissot vs Seiko boils down to personal preferences and priorities. Whether one prioritizes Swiss precision and elegance or Japanese innovation and affordability, both Tissot and Seiko stand as stalwarts of the watchmaking world.

Like any high-precision instrument, a watch needs to be serviced regularly to ensure optimum functioning. The servicing frequency depends on the model, the climate and the care you take of it. As a general rule, we recommend that you have a service carried out every 4 to 5 years by a Tissot-certified service centre.

Most automatic watches have a power reserve of around 40 hours, which means that the watch will continue to run for about 40 hours after it has been fully wound and taken off the wrist. After this time, the watch will stop running and will need to be wound again.

The watches are priced affordably

Tissot prides itself on creating affordable luxury. Each of the brand's timepieces is priced very fairly considering their high-quality nature.

Some Tissots might have unique designs and stories, but these are limited to vintage models, mostly. You might come across the exception to the rule here and there, like the new ice blue PRX, but for the most part, it's only vintage models which will hold or increase their value.

It is likely because you're not wearing or winding the watch enough. Automatic watches gain power from manually winding it, or from the automatic winding that occurs from your motion while you are active while wearing it. So simply put, if you're not wearing it, your power reserve will run out.

The answer is no. If you don't wear your watch, it is not necessary to leave it on. As when you keep your watch operating, the drying process of the lubricant will not necessarily become slower. Instead, there is always a chance of damage when a watch is kept on operating daily.

Unlike with a quartz watch, you need to wind your mechanical watch. Even if it is a self-winding (automatic) watch, if it has stopped running, it needs to be wound.
