Hello there,
I've been eyeballing this piece for sometime now and I'd like to consult you on it.
What has your experience been with Tissot and more specifically the Le Locle line. Good or bad!
I've never owned a Tissot but this one keeps taunting me for some reason.
I'd also appreciate any suggestions regarding alternatives. I like the petit seconde but the Le Locle line is huge!
I'd also like to tackle the whole powermatic 80 or not thing. I'd love more power reserve but I don't know if I'm willing to sacrifice the smoothness of the seconds hand for it.
By all means gents, ladies, fire away!
oh... and do you think I can wear this casually? jeans / sneakers ? or dress only?
Thank You!

My Tissot is a quartz Classic Dream, which is one of my dress watches, and I love it. The finishing is top-notch. I love the look of that watch, but if that is your wrist in the last picture, it may be a little big for you. If I'm thinking right, I believe that is a 42 mm watch, and that wrist looks more like a 39 mm watch size at the most.
Tissot is a classic Swatch Group brand. The watch you're looking at is powered by a variant of the classic ETA 2824-2. You shouldn't have any problems with it if you choose to pick it up (with the possible exception of the gold-coloring wearing through over time).
Also, you'll find that 21600 vph v. 28800 vph makes a lot less of a difference with a small seconds hand.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
That's not my wrist. I have 7.5' wrists.

Oh, perfect, same as mine, then it will work great. That watch has a beautiful face. You will love it!
I was comparing the steel version of this model with the tissot heritage “magnetique” I recently picked up. I chose the pocket watch over the LL because I was super interested in the movement/case back in that model. my tissot is built great I’m sure this model is as well. Enjoy
Tissot has heritage, quality and value. It's a great brand.
However, in my opinion, the Le Locle collection in particular may not be the best way to go. Sorry to be so direct, but I believe it may be helpful to hear an opposing view, for a few reasons:
PS: A few random ideas of places where to look for a dress watch in the same price category:
MODERN DRESS WATCH: Mido Baroncelli 38, Orient Bambino 38, Junghans (a lot of choice there), Hamilton Jazzmaster (also full of choice), or something from the Seiko Presage line (cocktail series maybe?)
CLASSIC DRESS WATCH: For this price you'd have. to go vintage, not sure if that's your thing.
Tissot is a great place to start in Swiss watches. I love mine. And this is where the collection Really started for me. It was a gift. I’ll keep it forever.

Great points and concerns. I want that red seiko negroni cocktail next. Beautiful dial. Dress watch. And have seen them under 500 CAD.
