A Tissot lady's watch to dress up any wrist

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is the Tissot Bellissima Lady worth it at $365?

At $365 it is a reasonable buy for a Swiss-brand dress watch, since that is near the low end of its recent price range. At full retail of roughly $450 to $550 it is a harder sell against similar quartz watches.

Is a 26mm case too small?

A 26mm case is on the small side and reads as delicate, which suits slim wrists and dressy outfits. If you are used to 32mm or larger watches, try one on first.

Is it water resistant enough to swim in?

It is water resistant, but Tissot dress models are typically rated for light everyday contact such as handwashing, not swimming. Check the depth rating on the specific version before getting it wet.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. The Bellissima Lady uses a quartz movement, so it runs on a battery that needs replacing every few years.

When is the best time to buy it?

Prices tend to dip during holiday sales and end-of-season clearance, and the current $365 at eBay is already close to the low end. Waiting is unlikely to save much unless a store runs a deeper promotion.

What comes in the box?

Expect the watch, its strap and a Tissot warranty card and manual. Presentation varies by seller, so confirm with the store if a gift box matters.
