Tissot Watches: Complete Price Guide & Buyer's Guide

Founded in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1853, Tissot has built a reputation as the most accessible Swiss watch brand that doesn't compromise on quality.

With the viral PRX reviving the integrated-bracelet sports watch trend, Tissot is having a cultural moment. Pre-owned Tissot watches on eBay range from $100 for quartz models to $800+ for popular automatics.

Why Tissot? The Best Value in Swiss Watchmaking

Tissot's tagline — "Innovators by Tradition" — captures a brand that consistently punches above its weight class. The Powermatic 80 movement, found across most of the automatic lineup, delivers an 80-hour power reserve that surpasses movements in watches costing 5-10x more. The PRX Powermatic 80, priced at $650 retail, offers an integrated-bracelet sports watch aesthetic that rivals designs from Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin — at 1/20th the price.

The Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium — with its silicon balance spring for antimagnetic resistance and improved accuracy — costs under $700 and competes with features found in $3,000+ Omega watches. The Seastar 1000 delivers a 300m ceramic-bezel dive watch for under $500 pre-owned. And the Le Locle offers a refined Swiss dress watch with display caseback for as little as $200 on eBay.

For eBay buyers, Tissot's aggressive depreciation on the secondary market is actually a benefit: you can find nearly-new automatics at 40-60% below retail, making them among the most affordable Swiss automatic watches available anywhere.

How to Authenticate a Tissot Watch

Tissot counterfeits are less sophisticated than Rolex fakes but still exist on the market. Here are the key checks for verifying authenticity.

1Check the Tissot T-logo and "TISSOT" text on the dial — genuine pieces have crisp, clean printing without bleeding
2Verify the caseback markings: serial number, "SWISS MADE" text, and Tissot branding should be laser-engraved clearly
3Modern Tissot automatics have display casebacks — verify the Powermatic 80 or ETA movement is properly branded and finished
4The sapphire crystal should resist scratching and have anti-reflective coating (visible as a purple/blue tint at an angle)
5Bracelet and clasp quality: Tissot uses 316L stainless steel with solid links and a butterfly deployment clasp on most models

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tissot a good watch brand?

Tissot is one of the most respected Swiss watch brands, founded in 1853 and now part of the Swatch Group. It occupies the accessible luxury tier, producing Swiss-made watches with ETA and Powermatic movements at prices ranging from $250 to $2,000. Tissot is the official timekeeper of the NBA, MotoGP, and several other international sporting events. For the price, Tissot offers excellent build quality, reliable movements, and a genuine Swiss pedigree.

How much does a Tissot watch cost?

New Tissot watches retail from approximately $250 for quartz models (like the PRX quartz) to $2,000 for high-end automatics with complications. On the pre-owned market (eBay), prices range from $100-$200 for older quartz references to $300-$800 for popular automatics like the PRX Powermatic 80 or Gentleman. Tissot is widely considered the best value proposition in Swiss watchmaking.

What is the Tissot PRX and why is it so popular?

The Tissot PRX is a retro-inspired sports watch that became a viral hit when reintroduced in 2021. Available in quartz ($350) and Powermatic 80 automatic ($650) versions, the PRX features an integrated bracelet design reminiscent of luxury sports watches like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak — at a fraction of the price. Its 40mm case, 80-hour power reserve, and wide range of dial colors have made it one of the most popular watches under $1,000.

What movement does Tissot use?

Tissot primarily uses two movement families: ETA quartz movements in its entry-level pieces, and the Powermatic 80 automatic movement (based on ETA C07.111) in its mid-range to higher-end watches. The Powermatic 80 offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve — meaning you can leave the watch off your wrist for over three days and it will still be running. Some models use the Powermatic 80.811, which adds silicon balance spring technology for improved accuracy and magnetic resistance.

How does Tissot compare to Seiko?

Both Tissot and Seiko offer outstanding value, but from different watchmaking traditions. Tissot is Swiss-made with ETA/Powermatic movements, sapphire crystals on most models, and a more traditional European design language. Seiko is Japanese-made with in-house movements (4R/6R series), often uses Hardlex crystal on lower-end models, and tends toward sportier designs. At comparable price points ($300-$600), Tissot typically wins on power reserve (80 vs 40 hours) while Seiko offers more diverse styling and in-house movement heritage.

Is Tissot a luxury brand?

Tissot is classified as an accessible luxury or entry-level Swiss watch brand. Within the Swatch Group hierarchy, Tissot sits below Longines and Omega but above Swatch and Hamilton. While not in the same tier as Rolex or Omega, Tissot watches are genuinely Swiss-made, use quality movements, and feature sapphire crystals and solid construction. They represent the most affordable way to own a legitimate Swiss automatic watch.
