Tissot EverytimevsTissot PR516

Owners widely praise the Tissot Everytime for its thin, easy-to-wear design and durable sapphire crystal. One owner notes the basic quartz movement gains about two minutes a month in hot climates, while another highlights the Gent Quartz variant as potentially the cheapest High Accuracy Quartz (HAQ) watch available, utilizing the ETA F06.412 PreciDrive movement. Some question the Swiss-made premium over alternatives, while others defend its value, especially for the sapphire crystal. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Tissot Everytime a solid, accurate quartz timepiece valued for its wearability and accessible price point.

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PR516 for its athletic 1970s charisma, vintage-inspired dial design, and thoughtful finishing. The manual-wind chronograph variant is noted for its robust case and impressive A05.291 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, while the automatic Powermatic 80 variant offers an 80-hour power reserve in a 38mm steel case at an accessible price. However, several sources flag the bracelet clasp as a letdown, describing it as a folded steel or stamped design that does not match the case quality. Some owners find the dial bland or wish the bezel looked different, and one reviewer notes the 14mm thickness of the chronograph can be noticeable. The Powermatic 80 variant's fixed bezel is criticized by one owner as a departure from dive watch principles. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PR516 highly for its strong value and retro-inspired design, with the chronograph movement and accessible pricing being key draws.
