First I am wondering where my first review disappeared to? It coudn't have been that it was unfavourable.
br /
br /Anyway when I first ordered the watch I received a defective unit. A quick call to Amazon and a new watch was delivered two days later in perfect working order. The defective unit was sent back at Amazon's expense. Very seamless and easy.
br /
br /Now to the watch: I travel overseas and across multiple time zones and this watch was exactly what I was looking for combining function and form. This watch does that well. It looks great (just a tad thick but not too bad) and the way you can swap out time zones is great. It does come with a steep learning curve and it will take some concerted effort to master it's functions but it is well worth it. And the price was outstanding.

I fell in love with the watch the moment I wore it. And then started my nightmare to try to figure how it works! Once I got a hang of it (or basically refused to try to learn all of its programable features), I adore the watch. It looks great although its a bit bulky but that goes well with its style. The major complaint I have is that in 6-months, its battery died on me (hmmm). Didn't or has not happened with my previous tissots.
br /nevertheless, its a cool looking watch!

The watch feels light and not consistant with the quality I expected. The use of the different time zones is a little difficult and the chronograph when used for a longer period of time does not respond to a push on the crown to stop the timing on my watch. The touch face is a novelty and fun. I find the digital display needs careful reading to make out.

I travel often and thought that it would be convenient to have such a handsome watch that also doubles as an alarm and a multiple time zone watch. That was a good theory, wasn't it? Unfortunately, this watch is not easy to figure out, and I've read the manual about 8 times. Intuitive? Not on your life. The alarm, now that I finally figured it out [many trials and many errors] is pretty cool, and I am hopeful, if I study hard, I can figure out how to have the dial switch time zones. Having said all the foregoing, let me say that this is a very handsome watch, with plenty of heft and a quality feel. Indeed, I get plenty of compliments. I get as many compliments on this as I do on my more expensive Bulgari and Tag watches. My advice is that if you like the looks and can deal with a ludicrously steep learning curve on the T-Touch aspects, by all means buy this watch. It will look very good on you.

br /Update November 2008:
br /
br /I wrote the above a year and a half ago. I still love this watch, especially after I had a computer geek at my office show me how to "swap" to other time zones. It is a must for travel overseas, given that you can not only "swap" to your local time but use it as an alarm as well. Once again, if you can put up with the very unfriendly learning curve and are willing to persist in studying the incomprehensible owner's manual until you figure things out, it's a great watch.
br /
br /P.S. One reviewer above said his battery died in less than 6 months, but mine is still going strong. [I hope I didn't just curse myself by saying this.]

I ordered 2 for gifts, but returned on. It was returned on 6/27 and signed by you at 10:29, yet I've not gotten my credit for the return. Is this the way you treat all customers?
