Tissot’s Most Capable Dive Watch Gets Some New Offerings - Tissot Seastar 2000 Black PVD

[@GinoWatch]

I purchased the Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 on a steel mesh bracelet. Tissot has allowed me to own incredible Swiss made timepieces usually well above my budget. Amazing watches, love my Tissot's!!

[@ahha6304]

Damn, I always want a mesh! but the only bracelet was on bargain sale so I have to take that instead.

[@soubhagyamahapatra6843]

I own this watch on bracelet..... and i can say its built extremely well and can compete with watches nearly 3 times in price. Clicks a lot of boxes not only as diver but a great everyday watch having features like magnetic resistance and basic shock resistance at this price point is unheard of.

[@josephvoroshilov9263]

All mechanical watches have basic shock resistance even at a very basic price point. As a dive watch IMHO Seiko Prospex 62mas is better. But love Tissot's dress watches

[@rjunuh4084]

I’ve recently purchased this watch the quality fit and finish is phenomenal! I own a Oris Aquis, and Omega Planet ocean both respectively 2.5 to 6 times the price of this watch it matches them in build quality. Its also running at +1 second a day that’s better than both my Oris and Omega that are at +6 seconds and +3 seconds a day.

[@MrLoichin]

@@rjunuh4084 though its movement is C07.111 its still based off a heavily modifed reliable workhorse ETA2824. Only downside is they pulled down the frequency from 4hz to 3 hz beats thats why we get the jerky movement but rewarding it with 80hr power reserve

[@tpoz48]

Tissot makes great watches. They probably are the best bang for the buck for watches under $1,000.
I have a Gentleman Powermatic 80 and a Quickster Chronograph that I'm very pleased to have. I just bought a PRX 35mm as a gift for my sister.

[@wrldgaming4558]

I’m always torn between buying a new Tissot or Hamilton as a value buy

[@tyronnezx]

I agree. Tissot has an insane value proposition that not even the more expensive cousins under the swatch group can beat. I own a PR50- my first watch with massive sentimental value and now a Chamin de Tourless that is far more gorgeous than the omega deville. They look similar but the Tissot hands down beats the omega. For a diver, i settled with a longines hydroconquest which i will pickup tomorrow, but the Seastar is a better build imo. The only reason that i didnt pick it up is due to me, having two Tissots already

[@kyoukan91]

No, no they don't. Tissot is swiss garbage. It's like the fucking Invicta of Switzerland.

[@CaptainSnappy]

Sizing is odd for the Seastar lineup. You have 46, 43, and then... 36? There's a big size gap where most peoples' sweet spot is.

[@BenStirlen]

Ikr 40/41mm case is my favorite. I’m a 7” wrist

[@rezapahlevi2044]

pretty much most of Tissot's lineup

[@shanedich3660]

Agreed. I'd get this in a 40.

[@mikepurdy3952]

Agree!!! The Sweet-Spot is 38mm. to 40mm. with (SHORT) LUGS! WHY is that So Hard for the Watch Manufacturer's to understand...🧐 ALSO, Labeling a 36mm. watch as a (Woman's Watch) has got to be the "Most Moronic" Sales & Marketing mistake in the History of Horology...!

[@gnirujan]

36? There is a 36 Seastar? Automatic?

[@SjefVanOekelsKotshoek]

Just received mine. It's not too big at all.
My wrist measures 7,1 inch (18,0 cm) in circumference and 2,2 inch (5,5 cm) in width and it really looks great.
And it's SO beautiful to look at. I also like the strap which gives the watch a "lighter" look 👌
The version with the bracelet is too bulky and heavy looking in my opinion.

[@kalkin8129]

That's what I noticed when I first tried this watch
Even with the 46mm size it fits perfectly fine on my 7inch wrist

[@blairdalgleish8247]

I own the silver version, much more accurate than my 3 seiko watches with 6r35 movement.

[@timetowatch_francois]

Very impressive!
I LOVE larger watches ... this one's spot on!
Thanks for sharing.

[@MiK0Y14]

Agree, this might not for everyone.
But on my 8” wrist.
These looks awesome.
I’m wearing it with stainless bracelet. It does weight a lot comparing to a rubber strap or Ti strap.
But you will get use to it.
The feel and Build quality of this is superb for its price.

[@topranked5465]

Can you buy the one with the strap and put on a stain stell bracelet on it?

[@chiefsaint]

curious were you able to buckle the original strap easily. I love the original strap but it's a little small on me, the buckle doesn't make it to the center of my wrist.

[@andywilliams4887]

Lovely looking overall, great specs, super value and long power reserve. I have a 7 inch wrist, but the 46mm case and almost 16mm thickness is too big IMO. At this entry price, why not go thinner and offer a perfectly acceptable 300m depth rating ? - no pro diver would ever select this for commercial or saturation work. I may feel differently once I get my hands on one to road test.

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Try the Seastar 1000.

[@M3LTUP]

Imo , i think 39-42 is about right. This is a beautiful watch. Just sized a bit large for my taste.

[@Shessyyy]

My wife bought me the silver version with the Turkis Dial. Lovin it. It feels lik this Watch was made for my wrist😍

[@wesleylong113]

I just picked one of these up for a good deal used, and I love it!
It is a bit larger than I'd like ideally, but it's still nothing really crazy (I have about a 7.1 inch wrist, and this is about the maximum size watch I would wear).
But I went for this instead of the smaller SeaStar 1000 model just because of the dial! That's really the best part of this piece, the waves catch the light really beautifully and in different ways under different lighting conditions, it's hard for it to come through on camera, but it's really cool in person. I feel like Mr. Wonderful collecting a dial like this!

[@Dark_Asteroid]

Rocking it now on my 9 and a half inch wrist! Love it

[@emmiification]

Just got it yesterday only :) loving it .

[@robb-kx6wu]

The strap was WAYYY to short for my massive wrist, I can rock a GSHOCK Mudmaster and it looks normal so found an "old" Bond Black Gray Nato with PVD Black hardware and it looks amazing with this case and the splash of blue looks unique. Love it so far, it's built like a tank.

[@homerfantastic]

Same here, I’m looking for a larger strap in rubber.

[@CheckDisOutpeeps]

Just got the Tissot 1000 grey, beautiful.
Next a Longines!

[@topranked5465]

Which lobginess are u thinking of getting?

[@CheckDisOutpeeps]

@@topranked5465 checked out a few in a boutique near me - hydroconquest is pretty cool

[@chiefsaint]

I absolutely LOVE the watch and with that I adore the strap, the look is incredible BUT it's made for a smaller wrist. the average 12h strap is 80mm, this one is 71!!!! SO when I put the watch on because of the weight of it it tilts because the back buckle can't reach the middle of the back of my wrist. I had to buy a standard black strap from Tissot 80mm at 12hour and 125 at 6 hour vs this stunningly beautiful strap that it comes with that is only 71mm at 12 hour and 118 at 6h which is really a bummer. I'd actually wear the original strap even though it's slightly off center because it's so unique and stunning but I know it will wear quickly because it barely fits my wrist (and I am not some extremely large guy. I'm pretty average at 6' 200lbs. Wish they would make a normal size strap for the watch. I called them and they don't

[@konadora]

really love that gradient dial, but i wish they did away with the seastar logo. feels a bit tacky compared to the rest of the text font.

[@jakenasz3428]

I love my seastar 1000 grey sunburst dial! 43mm is perfect

[@joliverlie151]

I like your channel Teddy. I love Tissot products , i just bought Seastar 2000 with dial color Torquis. Built quality, specification 600m, Automatic nichiron very value for money., I love it.

Unbelievable price. I'd rather have 5 of these in assorted colors and bands and $$ in the bank than one Rolex. Just my opinion.

[@bhavaniyadav009]

So basically, it’s a polished watch. That means it can get scratch marks if it hit something. Will it be problematic? What is the experience of the people who is using the same watch?

I love this Tissot 600 m. In Hong Kong , it win the price, US 995, that is lower than HKD10000. But the Mido 600 m is HKD 15000, and Titoni 600 is HKD 26000 in Hong Kong. And please forgot the Rolex and Omega 600m , both over HKD 50000.
I don't mind the 46 mm diameter, since I have the G Shock diver over ten years, it is 45 mm in diameter . My small chinese wrist 6.5 in is ok.

Hey teddy question: the material on this strap is embossed cow leather would a rubber strap be better for diving? Or..?

I really like this watch, but I do need to grab a new strap as the black rubber one isn’t the best

[@franc101978]

If this watch was made by Rolex or omega everyone would be going nuts

[@franc101978]

[@Leftystrat]

Or the better movement,

[@jonasjung7501]

It seems like 600m leans into overkill as far as diving specs and sacrifices wearability for a lot of people. Somehow Glycine is able to get 300m water resistance in their 39mm Combat Sub, and that’s honestly more than just about anybody ever needs.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

Not really, some ppl like to wear big, clunky watches.
It's a matter of preference and style, not specs.

[@SaSpursFan]

Why couldn’t they have a 40 mm ?

[@jasonkusters5607]

And I’m on the last hole so that sucks! Emailed Tissot for larger bracelet option or larger strap. I was amazed they don’t have any options for me but told me to look at aftermarket. Strap length was 118 and 71? Why when most are 120 and 75? Blows my mind that a watch of this size has such a small single strap option. Guess I’m selling it

Beautiful watch

[@magicfelgrand2425]

It is a beautiful watch for sure but build with low quality actually for this price. The rotating bezel failed and become very loose! I sent it to Tissot for repair. After 4 months same issue again. If you do little search on internet many have the same issue…It seems that they use very poor quality metal below the bezel. I am very disappointed about this said « Professionnal » watch…ISO6425?? Don’t make me laugh. It is beautiful watch for sure but at this price it is only crap on it except the Powermatic which is good. How can you do professionnal diving with a failed bezel??? I have a Seiko Samurai since 2018 half the price and I used it every day and got it on my wrist on beach and ocean every years!! It never failed!!! All Seiko Prospex are tougher and real diver watches than Tissot Seastar watches.

[@rjunuh4084]

Yes mine as just come back from Tissot with the same issue! The bezel is a let down, I read many reviews with the same problem I hope this is the last time this problem occurs🤞
