Tissot Men's Everytime Desire Auto 316L Automatic Watch (Black)

The Sistem51 is really misunderstood. Yes it is not realistically serviceable, but it was never designed to be. If you want a "repairable" automatic at this price point, you're usually dealing with near-disposable Seiko movements that make more time and financial sense to replace than actually repair.

This is purely my opinion but I would not get this watch. This watch is using the C15.111 movement and from what I've researched, it is basically Swatch's Sistem 51 movement, which isn't serviceable. So once the watch stops moving it's a toss-out type of a watch. Free-sprung movement is nice but the fact that the movement is made cheaply and also that it technically only has 51 parts is a bit scary. The power reserve is nice I will say which is over 72 hours.

I'm going to be a bit pedantic here, but your phrasing makes it sound like "it breaks and you're out of luck."

The Swissmatic (C15.111) watches can be repaired - and apparently they're repaired quite rapidly all things considered - but that "repair" simply means replacing the movement with a "refurbished" movement and your "old" movement gets sent out to be refurbed somehow.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Swiss watches. But then again, I find that I wear my Apple Watch more than I ever wore any of my other mechanical/quartz watches (not all Swiss...)

But if I was in the market for an inexpensive automatic Swiss watch, for $163, I'd certainly consider this one. It offers quite a bit for the price (which is normally in the $300-$400 range - although that seems... overpriced.) However, if I was looking for an heirloom-type of watch, well, ok, this wouldn't be it.
