Visodate not too bad la except for the stupid day/date.

Absolutely. By far the best Tissot imo.

But still under the loupe, the hands and markers I would say is below that of the ah pek Seiko 5s.

And snap on caseback for the price?

for 2k plus I think acceptable. Whats inside counts. Not many ppl wanna spend half a month salary on watch. Thus tissot seems ok choice for those on a budget

Of course. Just that in most cases and while Seiko do have their issues lately, Seiko's usually offer better value.

Ex: Like the SARB035/033 over the Visodate.

Both the Seiko and Tissot is made in China anyway... even Tag Heuer bits and pieces are made in China. Seen a factory tour video on that laugh.gif

Case... bracelets... hands etc.

Some say even some movement parts.

Anyway.. as long 60% of cost origins from Swiss.... can use Swiss Made label di wut.

sadly my seiko cheap chrono quartz many years back wasnt thr best experience. Dropped few times n the hands dropped off the chrono stopped working

I wouldn't call that an issue since watches aren't meant to be dropped unless its made from plastic and/or called Gshock.

It's like calling eggs bad quality cos they broke when dropped. laugh.gif

The price range in your poll is too wide.

Of course I will pick Omega, then Siko, then Tag.

Seems like you missed out Tudor. Not a hot brand.
But that Tudor doing now is like its bigger brother Rolex in terms of marketing.

Some folks still cant get over the poor man rolex image yet.

But Tudor definitely offers best bang for buck now.. the case is second to none and in house movement.

unless you plan to resell, the only watch worth buying right now is a smart watch that acts like your personal assistant.

i'll go for Garmin Fenix 5X.

On the contrary. Smart watches are even more redundant than traditional watches as it merely replicates our phones that needs charging and lacks the emotional aspect of that mechanical watch thats been a constant companion for the last 20 years.

for active people like me, some activities like monitoring golf swing speed, heart rate, & constantly watching the running distance can't be used merely with a smartphone. if it can, it's too bulky and tedious compared to a smart watch.

it doesn't have to be an overpriced mechanical to have a watch that lasted 50 years and by the time it hits 20, the mechanical parts will starts to wear off and u need to constantly readjust the time back even if u're wearing it everyday.
*
As a specialized tool yes.

Perhaps its worthwhile for the demographic of folks who put upmost importance in monitoring their golf swing or obsessively track their steps etc.
