Is the Tissot Savonnette a pocket watch or a wristwatch?

It is a pocket watch with a hinged cover, meant to be carried in a pocket or on a chain, not worn on the wrist.

Does it need a battery?

No. It uses a mechanical hand-wound movement, so you wind it regularly instead of replacing a battery.

Plan to wind it about once a day. A mechanical movement runs down over roughly a day or two depending on the model.

It is a full metal lid hinged over the dial. You press the crown or a button to open it, which protects the crystal when carried.

It works for daily carry if you don't mind winding it and the extra bulk in a pocket. Many owners treat it as a dress or occasional piece.

Check the specific listing. Some Tissot pocket watches ship with a chain and others do not, so confirm before buying.
