In addition, the 9mm-thick case is of higher grade 316L stainless steel, as is the mesh strap that perfectly fits the wrist’s contours. When it comes to quality, the Bering Solar is equipped with an appreciated sapphire glass that is almost impossible to scratch. Therefore, it is quite common to read the time wrong when not paying enough attention. The hands, though, won’t hold the lume for too long, and neither is it strong enough.Īnother problem with the watch hands is that the second hand is more prominent than the minute hand. The dial has a blue number ring and a dark blue center ring with a luminous handset in front of it. In terms of overall appearance, this timepiece is streamlined with no corners, reflecting its futuristic stance. It means the watch charges itself from light, never needs a battery replacement, and runs up to 12 months without any light source applied to it. Namely, this Bering runs on highly convenient and eco-friendly solar power. However, the watch is far from minimalistic regarding the quartz movement it employs. The Bering Solar Quartz comes in a world-famous Scandinavian design that is spiced with futuristic motives. Also, the discomfort coming from the stiffness of the strap fades over time and becomes barely noticeable in a matter of weeks.Īll in all, for around $300, this Tissot is definitely one of the best bangs for the buck – a Swiss-made watch with sapphire glass and luxurious appeal is a rarity at this price range. Although there’s no proven correlation between the stiffness and the durability of leather, I can say from my own experience with Tissot that the straps are long-lasting. You should bear in mind, though, that Tissot leather straps tend to be pretty stiff. On top of the quality of the crystal, the sapphire is also domed, which drastically enhances legibility from angles. It runs on a Swiss quartz movement and features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. On top of the magnificent aesthetics, the Tissot Tradition is also very durable. But, in spite of its classic design, you’ll find some neat design elements that add extravagance, such as the textured dial and raised Roman numerals. Equipped with a three-hand movement and a date window, it makes it a spot-on dress wearable. The Tissot reflects the classic style the brand is so famous for. While most Tissot dress watches measure around 10-15mm in height, there is one model with an ultra-thin 7.4mm profile – the Tissot Tradition Dress Watch. Without much doubt, the Swiss brand of Tissot should be one of the first watchmakers to turn to if an elegant, sophisticated, and thin timepiece is under consideration.
