Swiss watchmaking accessible to all. Your complete Tissot resource — guides, collections, deals, and comparisons.
Tissot has been making Swiss watches since 1853, making it one of the oldest watchmakers in Switzerland. The brand occupies a sweet spot: genuine Swiss quality at prices that don't require a second mortgage.
As the official timekeeper of the NBA, MotoGP, and the Tour de France, Tissot has deep connections to professional sports. The brand produces over 4 million watches per year — more than almost any Swiss manufacturer.
Tissot's Powermatic 80 movement offers an 80-hour power reserve at price points where competitors offer 38-42 hours. This means you can take your watch off Friday night and it'll still be running Monday morning.
For many collectors, Tissot is the gateway to Swiss watchmaking — offering the quality, heritage, and movements of brands costing twice as much.

See how Tissot stacks up in detailed comparisons.
Tissot is one of the best value Swiss watch brands, offering genuine Swiss movements, quality materials, and strong heritage at prices from $250-$3,500.
Both are excellent at their price points. Tissot offers Swiss-made movements and the Powermatic 80 power reserve advantage. Seiko offers full vertical integration and stronger mechanical diversity. Personal preference decides.
The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is the current fan favorite — 1970s design, 80-hour power reserve, integrated bracelet at ~$650. The Gentleman Powermatic 80 at ~$695 is the best all-rounder.
Tissot watches depreciate after purchase like most watches in this price range. They're purchased for enjoyment and quality rather than investment. The PRX has shown better retention than most Tissot models.
