Watches have long ceased to be just a mechanism for determining the current time of day - for this, mobile phones are now used. Today it is a stylish accessory that reflects the financial viability and sophistication of the taste of its owner, so you should approach your choice very thoughtfully and responsibly. The creators of women's collections are especially inventive because the fair sex highly appreciates the variety of designs and colors.
The recognized leader in the production of this type of accessories is the Swiss company Tissot, created in the nineteenth century and since then has only increased the number of its fans.
Features
For many years, the Tissot brand has kept a high standard of quality combined with the constant implementation of innovative ideas, and currently its products are available not only to the aristocratic sections of society, but also to a wide range of customers.
Women's collections of this brand are released only in Switzerland, their assembly in the territory of another state is strictly prohibited.
The company's products are distinguished by their amazing durability and relevance over the years. Manufacturers create universal models that look appropriate at any event and fit any look.
Each product sample goes through several checks before being put on sale. So, the reaction to vibration is checked, the geometric comparison with the layout is checked, the paint strength and the ability of the strap to withstand various loads are checked, and the quality of the used alloys of materials is evaluated.
Models and Features
Currently, high-tech brand products are represented by many different models with original innovative features. There are several main collections that are in constant demand.
Touch collection
The models of this line meet the most modern customer requirements.They are equipped with an electronic touch screen and many useful options: barometer, thermometer, compass, altimeter (instrument for measuring height). With a light touch on the touch sapphire display, you can activate or deactivate any function. Such universal models will be the perfect complement to the stylish and sophisticated image of any person.

T-gold
The most expensive series, a real work of art, is T-GOLD. Samples of the collection amaze the design and the amount of precious materials used to create them.
Romantic natures will like the opportunity to purchase a pair of watches - a set of women's and men's watches of the same design, but in several different sizes. Such accessories on the wrists of lovers will emphasize their strong connection with each other. For forgetful persons, “smart” self-winding models that will not come up unexpectedly for their owner, but will start up independently during the movement, will become a useful acquisition.
Material
The first models released back in the seventies of the last century were plastic. Now the production has gone far ahead, and the materials used are much better and more expensive. The company's designers are constantly expanding the range, as a result of which you can find specimens with wooden elements, ceramic impregnations, inserts made of stone and pearls and other original innovations.
The bracelet is made either from the same material as the mechanism case, or it can be excellent - for example, the strap can be leather.
Basically, the modern products of this company are made of high quality stainless steel. There are also titanium and gold models. The introduction of the production of PVD coatings (physical vapor deposition), which consists in the spraying of ions onto a surface in a vacuum, has become innovative. The resulting unusually thin layer is distinguished by its amazing strength and hypoallergenic properties.
The display is most often made of sapphire glass, which is remarkably rare, durable, resistant to negative environmental influences, the ability to not lose its luster over time and pleasing to the eye.
It is important that the company abandoned the use of chemical elements harmful to health - radium and tritium, replacing them with the latest luminescent material, which is completely safe for humans. For the manufacture of products only durable, high-quality materials are used.
Decor
Manufacturers are trying to diversify the lines of women's accessories with original designs. So, in the collection were added models with a gold case and a strap made of genuine leather or fabric, and samples in which white and yellow gold alternated in a case and bracelet. Accessories with diamonds located both around the perimeter of the dial and over the entire surface of the case and strap are in demand.
Completely original copies are also produced, for example, the Precious Flower model. The dial is made of mother of pearl and is surrounded by elongated spheres-petals, giving the case a resemblance to a rose bud. A striking feature is the ability of the petals to fold, just like a living flower. The mechanism is held on hand with a satin ribbon, and the case is decorated with a scattering of sapphires, rubies and diamonds.
The fair sex can choose the design of the accessory depending on their personal preferences: it can be either a classic strict model or an original sample from a limited collection.
Color
In the vast assortment of brand products, every woman will be able to choose an accessory of that color that is most pleasing to her eye. Accessories are available in a variety of colors: from classic white and black to the original brown and burgundy. The main distinguishing feature of the color range of the brand can be called luxurious depth and sophistication of shades.
Cost
Obviously, the products of such a famous brand cannot be cheap. So, models from basic collections cost an average of seven thousand Russian rubles. Buying watches from limited collections will cost their owner about thirty thousand. Some price tags are over fifty. Watches with inserts of diamonds, sapphires and other precious stones lighten the wallet of their new owners by an average of 25-30 thousand rubles.
Thus, buying Tissot brand watches is not cheap, but many years of operation and the highest quality justify it.
Each year, the company produces about a million copies.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
The high popularity of a product inevitably leads to the appearance of a huge number of fakes. This sad trend and the famous Tissot brand have not bypassed. Copies can be of different levels:
- Low-quality, which can be distinguished even by an inexperienced user. Rugged inscriptions, the absence of branded engravings, curved arrows, cheap materials are striking.
- Medium - such fakes give out the quality of small parts (engraving, arrangement of numbers)
- Skillful fakes. They are also called replicas, and even a professional is hard to recognize such a copy. The main difference is the price, often much lower than the original can cost.
There are several important nuances that will help you not to fall for the tricks of fraudsters and purchase a real product:
- It should be understood that the original watch can only be bought in the official store of the brand; they must have a leather belt.
- This product should be packed in a suede case and a flat, without scuffs, company box. The package must include a warranty card and instructions.
- The code indicated on the instructions for the watch must match the code on the tag. It also always has a code on which you can verify the authenticity of the goods.
- The letter “T” is always engraved on the crown - a very significant nuance that is usually not found on fakes.
- All engravings (including on the strap) are applied evenly, without flaws. Additional dials are functional, not drawn.
Attentiveness to such important trifles will help to avoid buying a fake. And, of course, the main thing to remember is that you can only buy goods in the brand's brand store.
How to shorten the bracelet?
Most often, starting to try on a new purchase, the happy owner of a Tissot watch discovers that the bracelet is too big for him. The creators of the product do this on purpose, so that the buyer can adjust the strap so that he will be most comfortable wearing it. To adjust the length you will need: a screwdriver, an ordinary nail file, a needle, a piece of metal wire and tweezers.
First you need to understand how many details will be removed. To do this, the watch is worn on the wrist. It is important to remember that in order to avoid circulatory disorders and the appearance of bruises on the skin, do not tighten the strap too tightly - it is advisable that a finger penetrate into the gap between the hand and the watch.
From the inside of the bracelet you can see that each part has two pins (resembling a screw and a small bulge). You need to unscrew the screws in the links that will be removed. If a screwdriver was not at hand, you can replace it with a metal nail file or small scissors. The remaining parts of the bracelet are connected, the links are inserted into each other and fastened with screws.
In some models, the connection is not due to the screws, but due to the pins that are extruded for removal. You can remove the pin from the socket by pressing it with a needle or a piece of strong metal wire. You can fix the parts by returning the pin in place with tweezers.
We offer a video guide to adjust the strap below.
In no case should excess parts be thrown away - they should be stored in a safe place. Thus, if after some time the bracelet begins to squeeze the wrist, it can be lengthened without any problems by following similar steps, but in reverse order. All operations are recommended to be performed very carefully so as not to leave scratches on the surface of the product.

A lot of positive feedback is also due to the amazing durability of this accessory - some representatives of the beautiful half of humanity enthusiastically note that they have worn their chronographs for more than a dozen years, and they are still in excellent condition.
After reviewing a large number of reviews, we can confidently conclude that despite the high cost, the Tissot women's watch is a wonderful accessory that will worthily complement the sophisticated image of a stylish lady and will delight her for many years.
