The Touch Screen Watch: Tissot T-Touch

Tissot is the official timekeeper of the International Ice Hockey Federation, MotoGT, Nascar, Cycling, and Fencing. This year, it’s also the official timekeeper of the Pan American Games. I find the touch sensitive screen an interesting feature of the T-Touch line.

The T-Touch Orange watch by Tissot is a sports/hiking watch that features luminous orange hands, orange indicator boxes and index markers surround the dial, and white lettering around the outer dial. But it’s more than just a watch – the T-Touch offers eight functions accessible via touching the crown and then touch sensitive screen. Functions include: date and time, an altimeter, a chronometer, compass, alarm, thermometer, and a barometer (meteo). The different functions are listed around the edge of the dial--just press that area of the dial to activate it. The watch is water resistant to 30 meters.

The T-Touch Titanium is a dress watch with black luminous hands and white indexes, Small white indexes surround the outer dial, and the titanium ratcheting bezel has directional N, S, E, W. The watch case and bracelet are made from solid titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies. Functions include: an altimeter, a chronometer, a compass, an alarm, a thermometer, and a barometer (meteo) and are accessible via the touch sensitive screen. The watch is water resistant to 30 meters.

The T-Touch Nascar watch features luminous hands and indices, yellow/red arabic numbers, Small white tick-markers on outer dial, polished titanium bezel with black embossed directional lettering, numbers and indices, polished titanium case, and polished titanium selector buttons and case back. Functions include: an altimeter, a chronometer, a compass, an alarm, a thermometer, and a barometer (meteo) and are accessible via the touch sensitive screen. The watch is water resistant to 30 meters.
