Thinking about this…

I'd give the blue face quartz version a go but I'm not sold on the price of the automatic version

Not sold on price of either of them

Love it, but will wait for better bracelet or strap option.

The folding clasp is an insult. They’d be better off selling watch head alone.

MSRP is a joke. Nobody will pay that

That’s a very cool looking chronograph!

I especially like the color scheme and the handset.

Never seen that model before. However on the face of it, I quite like it. Little bit of playful colour, quite sports and could put multiple straps with it.

Just did some research and seems like a decent movement, so far so good.

Water resistance only a 100m, which isn't a deal breaker but is a big no no for me on a sports watch as I would like to take something in that design into the pool with me on holiday.

Then I saw the price and thought...... Are you actually crazy!!? There are many other options at this price point which quite simply are better.

I think the dial is awesome. The thiccness is a little off putting but I'd need to get it on the wrist to make a final decision on that.

The price is a little proud tho. . .

Once you valjoux, nothing else will do

Anyone else try to scroll left and right to see more pictures?

Go for it 👍 .. Tissot is an amazing brand .. I have 2 .. A Tissot Courturier Black Chrono 43 & A Tissot Gentleman Green 41… both are amazing

I'm not a fan of chronos but this watch could turn me 😀.

How much is this watch?

Yes

Don’t know anything about this model,it’s a nice looking watch

Too sporty for me, didn't like the color combination

I like the design, especially the lugs. Even with the available straps, I get a feeling of further strap combos

Regarding the price 🤔: is it that different to the PRX Chrono price? This one has 68h Powerreserve, the PRX has 60h... jep, it's manual winding not automatic... but what's so bad about the price-movement-mix? Or is it just to expensive for a Tissot?

Curious for other opinions 😉

I like the look, I'm just sceptical about the movement. Mind you, the ETA C01.211 movement I've worked on was from an older watch. The movement contained a fair amount of plastic. Hopefully they have improved their quality.

If I were you I'd save up for a Longines?

I love Tissot, but that bottom-of-the-barrel clasp on a 2000€ watch is a blatant cost-cutting maneuver.

I personally prefer the aesthetics of the Heritage 1973 model, but this one is thinner and costs 500€ less.

Bezel and caseback are mineral - that sort of cost cutting at this price would just annoy me too much

It's nice but clasp looks cheap

I think I'm going to get one very soon!

Not for me

I'm with you - it's a solid entry level release imo.

The movement is well spec'd - hand wound isn't a bad thing, especially with nearly 3 days PR, it definitely pays off in height saving. 13.7mm for a mechanical chronograph with 100m WR ain't bad at all. The bracelet looks OK to me too - tooless quick release, solid end-links and milled hinges with a pressed clasp is pretty standard, if not better spec'd than average. I think some are confusing folding clasp for folded end-links!

I don't really pay much attention to many of the comments, doesn't appear that they come with any hands on knowledge or experience of the watch (as usual!).

The price is the price - Swiss mechanical chronographs have never exactly been cheap and the way the maket is I'm a little surprised it's not more tbh. It's hypothetical because I won't be buying it, but I wouldn't pay retail. That's more about knowing it'll be around for ~ 20% less in 3 to 6 months (as Tissot always is) than thinking it's unreasonably priced though.

It's a good looking racing chronograph with some real history and heritage - I reckon it will sell pretty well, especially once all the 'Best budget Daytona Alternative for under $2k' videos hit YT.
