But the smartwatch and all it s beautiful hordes of information misses the point.
Tissot t touch solar watch review.
Tissot t touch expert solar reference t091 420 47 057 01 despite the fact that this watch is a digital quartz watch it is by no means cheap and i am not talking about the list price of 1025 euro.
My guess is that the t touch connect solar will operate very much like a smartwatch light the idea being that tissot can revive some of the magic of the t touch while adding modern features that consumers want such as call and message notifications and exercise activity tracking.
The tissot t touch expert solar is a tool watch made for a very specific buyer.
As you can see it received a pvd treatment for the black finish.
It measures specialized data crucially important to its intended user.
Its functions include multiple time zones stopwatch day and date as well as a barometer for maximum efficiency.
The case is still light weight and comfortable but now you have a situation where the lugs can easily extend beyond the edge of many people s wrists giving the watch the feeling of being too large.
Combining both analog and digital readings tissot t touch expert is a watch that will suit all kinds of horologists and brings the best of both worlds all into one handy little watch that looks good and does the job.
Following on from the original tissot t touch solar released in 2014 tissot unveiled the new tissot t touch solar ii watch at this year s baselworld with a fresh aesthetic and design.
The t touch connect solar features a large 47mm titanium case with a scratch resistant ceramic bezel.
Tissot also actively involved its name in the sports arena being an official timekeeper in various sports events.
On the one hand is a group that believes that this watch is a luxury brand on the other there are those who see it as a middle range brand.
While the t touch expert i last reviewed was 43mm wide the tissot t touch expert solar is a wide 45mm and with wide lugs wears broadly on the wrist.
It doesn t need a smartphone to maximize capabilities.
The 45mm diameter case thickness of 13mm is very solid and made of titanium.
Although not a lot has changed in regards to the functionality of the piece it is impossible not to appreciate the new sleeker finish colour choices and dial design.
We haven t had a chance to wear one yet but we assume it feels exactly like a regular tissot.
The company later on developed it to be solar powered which is another first in the world and named it the t touch expert solar.
It operates on power from the sun not a usb.
