I daily an Apple Watch but have been increasingly interested in getting a nice dress watch.

My dream watch is the Rolex Datejust with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel, but I don’t have 12-14k to cough up for one.

Looking at some of the other brands, even a few grand on a luxury watch is a bit much for me for anything similar (Tudor, seiko, omega etc. I never knew those brands were in the thousands).

I found this Tissot and I think it’s gorgeous, but I don’t know too much about the brand. This watch is the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Automatic, which runs $825. The Quartz model is half the price, $425, so I’m curious what the major difference is to demand double for the automatic.

Thank you!

    Yes. Tissot is a popular entry level mechanical watch brand. It’s swiss made with swiss in-house (group) movement. It’s a solid choice for daily driver.

    If you are not familiar with the brand, you may take a look at the PRX, it’s one of their current bestselling, so there should be one or two people wearing it somewhere :)
