Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 Review

Post by gaf1958 »

First of all, while Tissot advertises the Seastar 1000 as “an elegant watch for watersport lovers” that is a bit of an oxymoron. It is a rather simple looking watch for a sports model indeed but I’d not call it elegant. The Seastar 1000 is a sports model for watersports lovers. It has no depth gauge or helium valve but that does not make it less sporty. On the contrary, the combination of rubber and steel, the huge diving bezel all correspond to that. Besides, Seastar models are and always have been watches connected to, well, the sea. I wore a watch for well over a week and I have to say it was super comfortable on the wrist. Despite the relatively thick case, it worked well with jacket cuffs and looked good on the wrist. Are they worth their prices though? Let’s find out.

That looks good, and good value from Swatch group.

If it had the silicon balance spring version of the movement, it would be a winner.
