You can’t just call any blue Tiffany blue, this colour literally bears no resemblance to actual Tiffany blue…
I guess Tiffany owns every shade of light blue
It's literally ICE BLUE looking as Tissot named it. Really don't know why this would be called anywhere near Tiffany Blue.
Not anywhere close. Some people who are colorblind are in denial.
My thoughts exactly
It's clickbait.
I've added 6 Tissots to my collection over the last 4 years: they provide endless enjoyment at a great price.
Which 6 Tissot watches, if I may ask?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 titanium chrono, LeLocle, Seastar, Visodate, and 2 recieved as gifts, a T-Touch and a PRX auto
Tissot, Hamilton and Longines the big three. You can get a pretty awesome collection with these brands, let alone Top-tier ETA movements.
Hallo, könnten Sie bitte sagen, diese Uhr oder Hamilton Murph 38 mm? Ich mag eigentlich 38 mm Uhr. Tissot Gentlemen ist aber 40 mm.🤷
I´m new to this watch world. Whats the difference between top-tier and Tissot? I find Tissot luxury. Am I wrong? I need a watch for a lifetime, what do you recommend?
@@edgarmarafuga143 in the world of luxury Swiss watches, Tissot and Longínes are entry level brands, with budgets under U$ 2.000,00. This Tissot Gentleman is, IMHO, a great model under U$1.000,00.
@@edgarmarafuga143 If you can afford a Rolex OP 41 go for it, If your budget is low, this Tissot is a great alternative, they both can be for a lifetime but for different budgets ;) There is also the Seiko SARX models, also a good alternative but I would say Tissot is a little better....
@@edgarmarafuga143 one thing to know about the watch world. You can wear/like whatever you want. Don’t let anyone tell you what’s bad or good. Live within your means, there’s an entry point for everyone.
Mr. Hunter is right on the money with this review and especially about the dial. The layout and indices definitely give off a Grand Seiko vibe. Those guys and girls at Tissot have been stepping up their game the last couple of years and this watch is a great example of that!👌😎
Tissot employee here. Please, don't call this Tiffany blue. It's literallly called Ice Blue and you did such a good job remembering this fact for the description.
Thank u bro
Any chance for a smaller size gentleman? Like a 36/37?
Hello! I have one question. Tissot is luxury or not?
Ok so in summary “Damn good watch….damn good colour and damn good value”. Damn that’s great!
😂
I bought my Tissot Gentleman Powermatic at Nordstrom. I immediately noticed they had the price of the Quartz on the Automatic. I got lucky and they honor the price. I got the Automatic which is normally $800 for only $400 👍
Random lucky day.
It was the original dark blue, not the new ice blue, but I still love it.
PS: Gentleman > PRX
I looked at the PRX, it looks cheap to me compared to the Gentleman.
I love my dark blue dial gentleman. I can't stop looking at the light play when it's on my wrist, and it has a very premium feel. Now that I've watched this video, the ice blue dial is on my radar, too. I also liked green dial, except for the sector markings. In terms of Tissot's colour choices, they are bang on for me.
Agreed I would trade in my green dial Gman towards the ice blue if given the opportunity
@moneymikz I wouldn't trade in my dark blue dial, though. I just want the ice blue as well. 😁
The dark blue Gentleman is on my radar, as well.
I guess you missed to emphasize silicium balance spring which is antimagnetic and differentiating factor from PRX
He forgot to talk about the most important difference!😂
Just my 2 cents about the price difference between the Gentleman vs the PRX is that the Gentleman is equipped with Silicon hairspring for anti magnetism. You only get to see silicon hairspring in watches Longines and upper tier brands.
When talking about the movement and the upgrades over the prx, you should mention it's the powermatic 80 silicium, which has a silicone hairspring and a traditional escapement, over the plastic one in the prx. Great review otherwise!
Huge point. And, for nearly the same money. PRX is all hype.
Tissot like Hamilton is a great product and value
Amen to that!
The Tissot Gentleman is a nice watch. But its color is not Tiffany blue, but light blue, or ice blue.
I bought this model as my first mechanical watch and is very beautiful I highly recommend it, the only con is the bracelet scratch very easy, keeps time very well.
I have the dark blue version but this ice blue version is really nice. It's like a fresh breath of air every time you look at it.
And don’t forget the mouvement is high end in the Powermatic line.
Great review ❤
Exactly. And the PRX uses a low-end Powermatic, for nearly the same money.
Oh this one is beyond awesome! I still need a proper dress watch
I bought the dark blue dial version. I think its a great watch for the money. The angles on the applied indices and the sun ray dial just look awesome in the sun. Its lacking in the lume dept but i bought it as a dress watch, not a sports watch.
Im ego invested so your mileage may very.
Very nice n beautiful dress affordable watch with fantastic color dial 💪👍👏
You say you rather opt for a TAG Quartz or Longines. Which ones?
Just bought this brand new for 742 USD, I work on a cruise ship so no tax and crew discount, it’s beautiful
I saw one in my local store, before this video and I thought it was a stunner. It looks really nice. Here in Australia, the price is getting up there (same as the UK). For that, you can get the cheapest Longines Quartz watches, though I'm not sure they look any better or are better quality. A bit more and you can get a Hydroconquest quartz that does look better. There is also the competition with more expensive Citizen (Series 8) and Seiko models that have better looks or finishing at this price point. A bit of a tough sell for sure and it's why I've held off.
I was tempted to go for a Visodate Tissot, but the reflective glass put me off.
I always am puzzled by the words “for the money” without a reference point . Which higher priced options do you feel this watch compares equally or favorably ?
Lovely watch, Harrison. What kind of watch box you have there in the background, btw?
It's a lovely watch, great value. Not for me as I have this genre covered, but if I was considering it I would prefer the date at 6 if it really has to be there.
I would love brands to offer date or no date options for all models.
I don't know if it's just my perception of Tissot, particularly because I saw them in airports growing up being heavily discounted. But I couldn't justify spending £800 on one, I would much rather own something like a Christopher Ward for that money, or look to stretch the budget towards Longines.
True but it’s easy to get the Tissot watches at a discount.
Yes, I had mine at like less than half that price on the grey market and it worked just fine. It's a very good watch, nice specs and you can feel quality in the weight when it's on your hands, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, it's not "gorgeous" or giving "Grand Seiko" vibes.
He's right about the scratches, and you'll notice them pretty easily, glass is great though.
Get a Gentleman at a discount, you wont regret it.
They have gone up a lot recently which is a big shame.
I am not saying its better than an OP, but it puts a bigger smile on my face.
I have a green on bracelet, and blue on a Crocodile Deployant.
Tissot fanboy here 🙋🏽♂️
Same!
I own more tissots than any other watch and not a single regret @@ChisholmHunterOfficial
Same!
No words about Silicium Spring with a COSC performance?
any significant upgrade from the previuos model? Bracelet and micro adjust?
This is the new "green." I think it looks solid though. Maybe 5 years form now this tiffany blue/ice blue thing might get old..I don't know...
I was planning to buy seiko presage but then i eventually ended buying this beauty.... Must say that this watch is elegant and eye catching!!!
Looks great!
Can you tell us the minimum bracelet adjustment in mm please.
Gorgeous and definitely not "Tiffany blue".
Blue dial? OG Cocktail time everyday.
what is ur opinion on Tissot Gentleman Open heart over this watch???
My omega Deville has a butterfly clasp where you have to put the bottom end first and then the top end to close it it can be annoying but he they did it for safety reasons so it won't fly off but compared to my Longines with a butterfly clasp you can put top or bottom first but it does have double buttons.
The blue looks similar to the 75th anniversary Seamaster Aqua Terra
The pnly thing that bugs me about the butterfly clasp is the lack of any sort of microadjustment.
Fully automatic… so probably a very novice question here, but does it not have the hand wind hacking manually capability as well?
How could you suggest to remove the date window? It’s what makes it!?
Today I tried several different color variations and also the titanium versions of the Gentleman with the intention to get one but the bezel and bracelet look like they have been over polished and lost their crispness.
Come on. I think it’s basically a datejust 41 with smooth bezel right . U should say the obvious
Upgrade : New Longines Conquest, but more than double the price…
I love my glacier blue PRX Powermatic80 40mm and would love to add a Gentleman…except my next purchase is a Maen Manhattan 39 ultra thin green dial
I’m concerned on buying the prx or gentleman ..which do you recommend?
@@abdulrahmanassous2873 I have not seen a gentleman in person so I can not say for sure. I believe for a little extra money you can get a better version of the movement in the gentleman but I truly love my PRX and wear it daily Monday thru Friday
IMO The Tissot Gentleman is probably one of the more unexpectedly, bland watches out there. The sum of its parts are far less interesting than the individual elements on it.
You look at the entire watch part by part, be impressed it's that cheap then when you look at the entire package, for some reason, for me, it just falls apart, really unfortunate, I prefer this over the Tissot PRX by principle because it'll probably stay in style for longer than the PRX.
I wouldn't say it "falling apart" but it's a bit bland. I like my Seiko presage more even if it's objectively a "worse" watch. Cheers!
I think the blue open heart version makes it fun/interesting again
Really nice watch.
I have a slim wrist and I really like the gentleman open heart, but I think the case and bracelet are just too big
Longines conquest 39 automatic helloooo?? :)
Quick release on the bracelet? Is this new?
I hate clickbait headline. Tiffany is not general title for any blue dial. That's baby blue color
Ive seen videos of the PRX movement containing plastic parts. The Gentleman models that have "silicium" written on the dial, do they contain plastic?
No Muhammad. Gentleman is hasnt plastic pieces. 🇹🇷
Wich Model is exactly that longines?
Anything is better than the prx.
it’s not great. The laughable thing is for another £1000 they could’ve had an absolutely brilliant watch. i’ve looked at this area of the watch Market upside down inside out and by far best value proposition is the twelve at that price followed by B&M Riviera.
Why people call tiffany blue to every light blue dialed watch? This is more of an ice blue and it has nothing to do with the Tiffany color. The Tissot that is the closest to that color is the PRX Mint dial (quartz). Not even the PRX Ice blue. Not even the Citizen Tsuyosa. I could go on....90% of the watches I see people calling Tiffany blue are not even close to the original color.
what is your wrist size ?
I love the gentleman, but I just sold my green dial. Great watch with great value, but 40mm is too large. Didn't care about the size until I got a black bay 36, then I couldn't stand the gentleman because it felt too bulbous and the elegance was missing in comparison. I'd buy another in a flash if they were 36-38mm
I agree: that opening shot in ths video really highlights the too big size.
My low-limit is 39mm for dress watches but in general I agree with you.
homage to oyster perpetual 😂
I wish it was 38mm.
Great watch besides that it has a plastic spacer
Sub second markers? Why???
Show me a Longines for 200 more that is as beautiful as this one.
Everything light blue isn’t Tiffany blue… very clear especially in person
I have bought this watch a week ago 🇮🇳
The addiesdive look ??
Not really Tiffany blue. Ice blue looks very different
Looks like my boss
max blue from twenty years ago.boss missed something
pretty dam tiffany blue.
dunno how many times you said dam
Dam…
People gotta stop comparing all light blues too Tiffany blue, they didn’t invent that color. That being said this looks nothing like Tiffany blue.
Doesn't look anything like Tiffany Blue 😂
Tiffany AKA Pantone 😂
Damn damn damn damn damn
the gentleman is the better PRX. But calling everything tiffany is just stupid.. they literal have a prx "tiffany" which is mintgreen and this is tiffany blue? ^^ But valuewise i would always recommend the Citizen Tsuyosa, they are very often in sale and you can get them for 200 bucks.
Damn
40mm isn't a dainty watch. It's pretty damn borderline clown size
U wrist size?
Yes, it nearly enters the territory of Longines, but: in my opinion the Powermatic 80 Silicium can’t be compared to a quartz movement.
When I compare the Tissot Gentleman to the Longines Conquest (not the new model from 2023, I mean the previous one) the build quality of the longines doesn‘t need to hide, it at least at the same stage. And with the new model of the conquest, also the price nearly doubled.
I own the Gentleman, but I would go for the new heritage COSC if I was looking for a nice entry level watch, and I agree if you have a couple grand available go for longines spirit 37 or 39 GMT
Which one is that, the 1938?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 Yup 👍
@@jhrodriguez08 Have it on my radar. The salmon dial 😉
It’s more expensive because of the movement and not the bracelet 🙄
Did I hear him say "niggles" at 5:55?
Why do you keep saying "pretty damn" throughout the video?
That’s never been Tiffany Blue 😂
Wait till bro discovers Chinese watches
another dork calling any shade of blue Tiffany blue
its literally the definition of an everyday watch... wtf are you smoking
Too big for a dress watch IMO.
As stated previously, nothing like Tiffany blue, how irritating that you keep referring to it👎
nICE
This isn't a tiffany blue and doesn't even resemble from any angle...and its far better color and more classic and blend in with anything kind of watch🤦🏻
This color isn’t even remotely close to Tiffany blue.
Straight up click/algorythm bait calling it tiffany blue. Not even close. Very shameless and unprofessional tbh.
I dont get who this watch if for. If you wear a suit and have "made it" buy a Rolex, this watch doesn't really suit a T-shirt & jeans look...and that's 90% of us! But that's just me and watches are different for everyone.
Young professionals, graduates, people who can't justify rolex prices etc.
It's something of quality. Maybe not extravagant but still solid quality watch.
Pagani Design do much the same, but with a Jubilee bracelet for £60
there is no way you are not joking, yeah?
I agree, instead of one, you purchase 10, right? Because it breaks that often and the service is more than the watch itself. You are so smart, they even beat Rolex.
I have two Pagani's and am not ashamed of it. The Omega Moonwatch "homage" and the Rolex Submariner, also "Homage" (which is french for fake.) I bought them because I wasn't sure about the original which I couldn't see in the flesh, and Pagani makes exact replicas. In case of the Rolex, I knew right away I shouldn't buy the original. To bulky on my wrist. And I have a 20 cm/8 inch wrist., who would have thought that? The Moonwatch fake, sorry homage, I loved, and I bought the original later. I recommend Pagani highly. Great fakes, and they don't make a secret out of it. Damn. Saffire glas. Seiko Movement. How can they do that.
@@TheHarryb first of all Homage does not mean fake.. and Pagani also does not make homage watches they just make fake watches which is theft and everyone who buys stuff like that is a creep. If you wanna know if the original does fit your wrist just go to an AD and try it out it's not that hard. "they don't make a secret out of it" yes they do..they never tell which watch inspired their model, they use their own name on a 1 to 1 design from the original. Also their automatic movements are cheap, the finishing is atrocious.. just buy a good original Seiko or if you don't wanna spend more than 50 dollars then buy a Casio at least they make good watches.
@@pacisking Thank you for sharing your immeasurable wisdom. Very beautifully articulated too.
Caliber is a let down.
