Tissot v Frederique Constant

Both have similar looks but the price difference is so much I'm confused which one I should take

Tissot - 39.3mm (modified eta movement)

FC - 40mm(Automatic Caliber FC-303)

Tissot has invested in a highly automated and efficient storage and manufacturing system that only makes sense for a fairly high volume manufacturer, which they are. FC sells a fraction of Tissot’s volume and can’t come close to matching their efficiencies of scale. What you are getting in FC for your additional money is design and decoration, prestige, exclusivity and the higher cost of manufacture, plus, possibly, a higher markup.

The FC has larger numbers, a more refined center waffle pattern and - most importantly - Breguet-style hands, which makes it favored straight away.

Purley on looks alone FC , better size brighter dial

I like the breguet hands on the FC.

Im gonna be the odd one out and say the tissot is so much nicer.

Why do you say thay. I mean by the presentation of it I think FC looks little better but from far both have same looks tissot has more power reserve though

Plus if i get a mate black leather bracelet you need a really good eye to spot the difference

My wrist is small so tissot will look better, im planning to go to a shop which has both and see which one catches my eye

I am no watch expert. I am newby when it comes to watch game. But the few things that do it for me is the the dial looks better presented, mainly the date at 3, the FC looks like they didnt prepare as it has cut ever so slightly the bottom of the numeral. Where the tissot it sits flush with the numeral. Then yh the power reserve, 80 hours is awesome. And last thing is i prefer the style of hands on the tissot. I personally wouldnt get the lether strap i would get the stainless steel bracelet. But whatever watch you choose, im sure you will enjoy it bro.
