Is the Tissot T-Touch worth it?

It is worth it if you want a rugged quartz watch with compass, barometer and alarm built in. If you mainly want a dress watch, a simpler analog model costs less and looks sharper.

How does the touch screen work?

You tap the sapphire crystal to cycle through functions and confirm settings. It takes a little practice, and it works best with bare, dry fingers.

Is it good for hiking?

Yes. The compass, barometer and thermometer make it a practical trail watch, and the sapphire crystal resists scratches. The touch controls are harder to use with gloves on.

What is the battery life?

Expect roughly a year or more from a fresh battery with normal use. Heavy use of the sensors and backlight shortens that, so budget for periodic battery changes.

It is water resistant for daily wear, hand washing and swimming. Avoid pressing the touch functions underwater and do not take it diving.

What comes in the box?

Typically the watch, a Tissot presentation box and paperwork. Check the listing for the exact contents and warranty terms before buying.

Our take on the Tissot T-Touch Men's Quartz Watch

The Tissot T-Touch is a 42mm men's quartz watch with a hybrid analog-digital display and a touch-sensitive sapphire crystal. Tapping the crystal cycles through functions like chronograph, alarm, compass, barometer and thermometer, which is why it appeals to hikers and travelers more than to dress-watch buyers. It is a rugged tool watch rather than a luxury piece, and its value depends heavily on the price you find.
