This is currently my favorite watch. My dream watch is a Rolex Submariner but it’s just not financially responsible for me right now to chase one. A few months ago, I set out to find a dive watch that had all the characteristics I like about the Sub.

This Tissot is what I settled on. It has a fluted bezel which is something I really like the look of. It has indices and hands that are are more subtle and don’t take up too much of the watch face. It also has a date window which I like but I don’t like the look of a magnifier which this doesn’t have. I like the symmetry of this watch with the date being at the 6 hour mark with the window being roughly the same shape as the 3 and 9 hour marks. It also has a simple face with just the branding and water resistance info and is more minimalistic, rather than too busy. Lastly, it’s was one of the few watches that checked all the boxes that also had a sapphire crystal at a price point under $500.

This watch has pretty much all of the qualities that I love about the Rolex Submariner while being much more affordable. It has a similar look but doesn’t feel like a copy cat watch to me. Just a solid, affordable piece. This is my first dive watch but I haven’t seen it on this sub before and wanted to share!
