Gorgeous timepiece, hot.

thanks,bought

Lol. No doubt that the dates for use will be in the future. good try though.
I'd bite for £210!

Any one else can feel free to send my their 100 quid off code too :stuck_out_tongue::p

The £100 code is for non sale items. I got it today for purchasing the v8.

Not ugly but id be getting that strap changed

I've owned a couple of Tissot watches, quality watches. Must say I like the look of this. Potential 5% quidco people.

Good deal, Tissot make some lovely watches, I have a Seastar and I love it. I personally prefer the black with rose gold version but its not reduced. Also I would recommend trying the watch instore first. Not sure what the sizing on these is like but when I tried on a PRC200 it looked ridiculously small on my wrist even though its not actually a small watch.

Thanks, bought the last 37 of them.

knowing someone in the company helps. they get 30% off :smiley:

It's definitely you

Another watch where the dark hands on dark background make it difficult to tell the bleeding time.

I'm no expert but surely being able to tell the time is the primary (only) function of watch........

Beware of the cost of battery replacement on these, only Tissot will do it and it's extortionate! Most back street watch shops won't touch them for fear of breaking them.

The Tissot PRS 200 looks a better quality watch reduced to £250

Tissot are a great brand and when on sale they represent good value, but charcoal on black is a bad combination for legibility. I used to have the citizen nighthawk stealth version. It sat in a draw for 2 years before I sold it - because it has zero visibility unless your outdoors on a sunny day.

Replaced battery in my slightly older version for £4 last week. It's just a clip on/clip off case back; nothing needed other than precision screwdriver. G10 chrono movement offers no obstacles to battery change either.

Not my cup of tea but not a bad deal if you like the watch. Also got some decent offers on Rado watches on the site.

Now please go for a swim in it and post us the results lol

Nothing special about the movement, or the looks. I guess it's the word Tissot.

Abit dark and busy IMO. Automatic Hamilton watches get my vote at this low end Swiss made price range. :wink:

It went via Goldsmiths in the end for £75. It was cleaned and polished along with the battery change but that's outrageous.

That said....it's a beautiful watch with bulletproof timekeeping.

The retailers seem really keen

Of course. These quartz watches run on typical alkaline cell sized batteries, which cost about £1 for decent ones, plus a few quid for labour.

Citizen ecodrive watches have a much larger rechargable battery within them (designed to be charged by light), that generally should not need replacing often - but over the course of a decade or two, they will stop holding their solar charge, so replacing those is quite an expensive job.

I wouldnt mind if it was a decade or 2 but 6 and 7 years? no way. Both were around £500 mark so i will not be going back to them. whats worse i have 2 other citezen watches that will no doubt get a replacement batteries in next couple of years.

That's terrible luck. My dad still has his Eco drive from maybe 15 years ago, I too have 3 of them of various ages. Other than changing straps on them every now again (and the date on the non perpetual calendar watch), they're fairly hassle free.

Thanks but I really meant why do people think they will break them while changing the battery?

You can get quality, guaranteed, work on 'good' watches from highstreet 'Timpsons', they offer a basic 'battery for life' deal for around £12, which rises to around £20-£25 (can't remember exactly, sorry !) if you want it 're-sealed' & tested, in which case its battery, reseal & test for life... I'm having each of mine done as they require batteries.
