Well Graham, you've got a point, however, remember that you're paying for a
quality Swiss watch made by Tissot, a well established manufacturer in this
industry. As well, this Tissot Silent model isn't specifically made for VI
users. The idea behind it is to be able to check the time without people
around you noticing and as it happens we can benefit from this touch crystal
technology. To my knowledge no other watch makers are using this technology
which's, IMHO, a very clever idea as it can offer you the functionality of a
digital watch while maintaining the elegant classic look of an analogue
watch. And to be fair, Tissot has models which are quite more expensive than
the Tissot Silent; take for instance the Tissot Touch models.
You can tell that I'm very passionate about this watch can't you?! *Smile*
Just my two pence worth.

and at that price it wants to be elegant as well. preferably it should make
the tea, cook the dinner and clean the house as well!
For something that is just a time piece I would need some convincing that this is anything but an extreme con.
I am in to Braille and use things like the Braillenote which is certainly
extremely expensive because, though cheaper in real terms than a few years
ago, Braille cell technology is still expensive. but unless you are heavily
into sport and need a watch that stands a good chance of survival in water,
or you earn wages typical of a top end premiership footballer, this price
would probably deter most would-be buyers especially when braille watches
are still available for a quoarter of the price.
Cheers

Hi Darran and all,
The watch is grate. Accurate, elegant and water proof. However, one thing is
good to be aware of, Tissot, the company, functions as franchise
manufacturers. So if you ever need to fix your watch the dealer would have
to get the parts from the country you bought it from, and that clearly takes
more time. Further more, even with an international warranty, the dealer
here in the UK wouldn't be able to replace the watch for you if needed
because it will be a none UK model. While when you buy it from here
obviously all British sales regulations apply. I'm talking from a first hand
experience. Having said that, I don't know if the States' models are the
same as the UK models. You could find more about this matter from a Tissot
dealer.
HTH,
Amro B

Hello to Tissot watch users out there.
I'm thinking about buying one of these watches, and was just after a little feedback from those who've already taken the plunge.
Are you all happy with the watch, or have you discovered things that you don't like or just can't get along with?
Many thanks.
Darran
