So I've been swapping out the many colored straps that go with the new Tissot Sideral and posting them to WRUW.
Still two more to go...green and black.
But after four colors, I thought I would ask, "Which one wore it best?"
The watch comes with the Blue strap so that may cause some to select that as a default.
The Orange strap gives the watch a bit of the Gulf livery feel.
The Red strap makes the dial pop with the contrast of red and blue and picks up the red secondhand.
And, of course, Yellow and blue are always a compatible combination.
So which one is your choice? Which wore it best?
See better images below...the poll crops out the straps from the images...
Beautiful watch!
Looks like the poll crops out the strap...so here are some better images for you to judge by...
And for fun...for those of you who missed it...here is a lume shot...

Agreed. Every time I go into a Macy's/Nordstrom/big box mall store and see these I'm like....🔥
This was one I got to try on at my local AD. It is really a beautiful watch. Pictures really don't do the marbling o the case justice. It almost looks like Damascus steel. Anyway, I voted for the blue; it just had the most impact with the dial and case in my opinion.

I know the watch is great, but I didn't know it has a lume this awesome
I like the yellow…
There is one small thing I noticed about this watch that I do not see anyone mentioning. It seems like the case of the blue version of the watch has some blue in the case. But the red and the yellow strap versions are just carbon.
I have not seen anyone comment on this. These are pictures from the Tissot website

Dare I suggest a white strap for those days when you feel like you can take on the whole Empire yourself? 🤓
This would be my watch to die for if it had Solar quartz mvt. Might be that I can not resist, and it will become my first mechanical auto watch. My vote for yellow!

Yes - that is one of the aspects of the blue version that caused me to purchase it. The other is that the lume is much better on the blue version than any of the others.
Brave Beaters did an excellent YT video which I watched before making my purchased. It was very instructive...

Too bad Tissot doesn't make a white strap for the Sideral...that is a brillant idea.

I have to say if you are someone who doesn't like setting your watch...this is the mechanical watch to get.
The Powermatic 80 movement really works as intended (80 hours of power reserve). I have not had to set the watch since I first put it on. I wear it every couple of days and gave a solid full wind when I first put it on and it has been running perfectly on time since.
Very easy entry into mechanical watches.

I think if you go with the red model + a white third party strap, you’re set! Nice occasional homage to the Death Star countdown display.
Creative watch. I would not buy it for myself just because it is not my style

I believe that watch should work for human, not other way around. Adjusting the time every week (because it is off by 4 minutes), spending two days for service (because closest mechanic is 3 hours of drive both way from where I live, and it is not a single day work). I like my Roomba to do the everyday vacuum, and I like the watch that works every day anny time. I remember when I had to change the battery on my first ever watch (50. Eur Festina) in the end it costed me more then the watch, before counting in half day spent driving to an back home. Might be, if I am weak and buy this one, it will change me. Otherwise - great looking watch, congrats!

The lume is great!

Thanks! I think that and the ability to swap out multiple straps were the icing on the cake for me.
