What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Tissot Desir

The Tissot Desir is praised for its slim profile, mother of pearl dial, and understated design, making it an elegant and versatile dress watch. One owner finds the Tissot Desir a lovely watch. However, the border of the face is a glitter strip, not pavé stones as some might assume. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Desir highly for its elegant and versatile dress watch qualities.

Tissot Le Locle Gold

Owners widely praise the Tissot Le Locle Gold for its stunning PVD gold-plated finish, off-white dial with applied gold numerals and guilloche print, and elegant, classic look, with some noting its smooth sweep from the high-beat movement and impressive accuracy. One owner calls it a "hidden gem" and "gorgeous piece" suitable for business casual and suits, while another highlights its value as a starter dress watch. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting about 11 seconds fast per day for the ETA 2824-2 movement, while another states their watch is "very accurate," and some owners praise the 80-hour power reserve of the Powermatic 80. The stock straps and buckle are frequently described as poor quality, feeling like plastic, and the watch's dressy nature limits its versatility. Some owners prefer earlier Bauhaus dial designs over newer guilloché patterns. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Le Locle Gold highly for its attractive gold finish and elegant dial at its price point.
