Is the Tissot PRC 100 Solar worth it?

If you want a low-maintenance Swiss-made dress watch with sapphire crystal and solar power, it offers strong value. It competes well with other solar watches but stands out for its Swiss origin and refined design.

How does the solar movement work?

The dial absorbs light to charge a rechargeable cell, which powers the quartz movement. With regular exposure to light, it can run for months without needing a battery change.

What is the case size and thickness?

The case is 34mm in diameter and 9.1mm thick, making it a compact dress watch that suits smaller wrists.

Is it water resistant?

Yes, it is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not diving.

Does it have a sapphire crystal?

Yes, it features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is more durable than mineral glass found on many rivals.

What is included in the box?

The watch comes with a Tissot presentation box, warranty card, and instruction manual. The warranty covers manufacturing defects for two years.
