Great deal for a Swiss automatic from a solid brand like Tissot.
43mm is a little big IMHO, but solid specs for the price!

FWIW, this watch uses 19 jewels ETA C15.111 automatic movement made specifically for the Tissot line of Swiissmatic watches. This movement is modular, completely machine-assembled (soldered), not adjustable, and non-serviceable i.e. considered disposable if something goes wrong. It is cheap for a reason.
A high school kid with a Rolex 😐
Fair point. The whole mechanical watch thing doesn't do a very good job in standing up to any amount of rational scrutiny. All roads ultimately lead you to "there's a quartz Casio that does everything more accurately, more reliably, with more complications for 50% to 99.9% less money than the watch I'm considering. The only way this watch is superior is in metal finishing and conspicuous consumption". That applies to all the way down to Vostok and Seagull, and all the way up to Richard Mille and other similar house-priced watch brands. Mechanical watches are idiotic. I wish I didn't like them so much.

I have checked the # sku on the official Tissot website and it says that it cannot find any watch with that number, will the watch be authentic?

Some people like to tinker with their own movements and self service their watches, even their $30 NH35s.

That being said, can you actually get a replacement ETA C15.111 movement? Is it interchangeable with a 2824? I know the C15.111 is based off the weird Sistem51 movement which you are unable to replace due to the movement not being available.

I have a Orient and a Seiko that's easy to service...many watch stores will do it on the cheap.

Quote from will403536 :
I've been obsessed with mechanical watches since high school. Many of my classmates wore Rolex, Panerai, and that got me into all kinds of watches, obscure ones, cheap ones, whatever.

I've moved towards quartz because I still love watches, the look, the variety of styles you can get, but mechanical just does not make any rational sense as someone else described above. They're way fussier and require maintenance service over the years, the service costs can buy me 1 or 2 Tissots, or even more (~$1000-1200 for a Rolex service). As someone who isn't "money isn't even real to me" rich, $1200 does mean something to me, and I rly can't justify mechanical watches beyond buying "cheap" $100-300 ones intending to never service them and purely as disposable novelty trinkets essentially.

TLDR bored of mechanical watch hobby, stick to cheap quartzes
Anything beyond something like an Oris, Rado, etc. you start getting into mechanical watches where the service costs are easily at least $500. I can't justify spending that much on a automatic watch knowing that. Brands like Seiko, Tissot, and Hamilton make great automatic watches that are relativity inexpensive. While this watch does look nice I'd rather have a watch with a metal bracelet.

Thanks for the link. I almost purchased one from Nordstram Rack a couple of weeks ago, but after seeing this video, I'm glad I didn't! That looks like he's got a grandfather clock strapped to his wrist. Holy hell that's big.

Wouldn't it make more sense to get a watch with more legible/larger hands and indices over a watch with a big case and dial?

In fairness that guy has really small wrists though too. He has it tightened to the last hole on the strap. I agree that it looks ridiculous on him, but maybe he just likes looking like an eight -year-old who wore their dad's watch to school.

I'm going for it on this one myself. Thanks, OP.

It has been my experience that the more legible/larger hands and indices fit better in a larger case.

The whole classic car thing doesn't do a very good job of standing up to any amount of rational scrutiny. All roads ultimately lead you to "there's a Honda or Toyota that does everything more accurately, more reliably, with more comfort for 50% to 99.9% less money. The only way this car is superior is in the metal body". That applies to all the way down to Mustang and Corvette, and all the way up to Ferrari and other similarly priced car brands. Classic cars are idiotic.

Corvettes don't have metal bodies.

A reasonable price for an automatic watch from a reputable Swiss watch company, As others have said, 43mm size may be a bit large for many people.

That's the #1 consideration for any watch I wear, readability. I have found that dial design is a more important factor than size for watch readability. This watch is a case in point. It's a well-designed, spartan, visually inviting look that from the 10-14" distance from which one typically views their watch, the distinction in readability if this were 38-40 mm probably could not even be measured, even for those who require the marks to tell the difference between 1:30 and 2:30.

Conversely, Invicta monstrosities sold on TV are up to, what, 50 mm, and have designs so rich with tackiness and purposeless bling that they wouldn't be any more readable (or less unreadable I should say) as wall clocks.

Shame about this one though. It's a very nice dial design, maybe the most appealing that I have seen on a Tissot; it's just too darn big for my tastes.
