Is the Mido Multifort TV good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100 m), which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not a dive watch, so leave it off for scuba diving.

Does it have an automatic or quartz movement?

This version is quartz. That means it keeps time well and needs no winding, but it does not have the sweeping seconds hand or mechanical appeal of Mido's automatic Multifort watches.

What size is the case and bracelet?

The strap width is about 22 mm (0.87 in). The TV-style case wears larger than a round case of the same width because of its square shape, so try it on if you have a small wrist.

Is the crystal sapphire?

Yes, it uses sapphire glass, which is much harder to scratch than mineral crystal. That is a step above many quartz watches in its class.

What functions does the dial have?

It shows hours, minutes and seconds in 12-hour format, a date window and luminous hands and markers. There are no numbers on the dial, only indices.

How does it compare with an automatic Multifort?

The automatic versions offer a mechanical movement and often more finishing for enthusiasts. This quartz model is simpler to live with, thinner on maintenance and still has the steel case, sapphire and 100 m rating.
