Smartwatches are now the talk of the town in the wristwatch world. Tissot, a long-established Swiss watchmaker, was the first to introduce a wristwatch equipped with a touch sensor, one of the features of smartwatches.
Tissot's newest model, the T-Touch, is a multi-functional watch with a touch screen.
Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar ¥124,300～
The Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar embodies the brand's corporate philosophy of "innovators by tradition.
The result is a wristwatch that incorporates many modern features while building on a foundation of watchmaking technology backed by more than 160 years of history.
As the name of the item suggests, this work has a high degree of independence through solar recharging. By mounting a solar cell developed at the CSEM Research Institute in Switzerland under the dial, the watch can be operated for up to 6 months when linked to a smartphone and up to 10 years when not linked to a smartphone.
So-called smartwatches are a pain to charge every day, but with this watch, you can basically keep using it by connecting it to a charger.
Functions include a calendar, timer, stopwatch, alarm, compass, altimeter, weather forecast, message notifications, and other basic functions, plus an active tracker that records the number of steps, distance traveled, and calories burned.
Each function can be used by touching the "METEO," "ACTIVITY," "CONNECTED," "T-TOUCH," "TIMING," and "NAVIGATION" areas on the dial with a finger.
These features will be changed through updates to be performed in the future.
And despite its multifunctionality, the design is elegant enough to be used on or off the job.
The ergonomically designed 47.5 mm titanium case and the touch-panel sapphire crystal glass with scratch-resistant coating make it easy to wear without hesitation .
Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar, which pays homage to the brand's history while achieving further evolution, will go on sale at Tissot stores and online starting Wednesday, December 1.
