Tissot's T-Touch technology has been around since 1999 when the brand first introduced its first “smartwatch”, simply called the Tissot T-Touch. The watch introduced a unique way to interact and use the various digital functions of the watch, which included a thermometer, barometer and a compass (to name a few), and it accomplished this touch functionality using a sapphire crystal (the glass above the dial) which was as good as reinventing the wheel back in 1999. In the world of traditional timepieces, Tissot is known mainly for its quartz and automatic movements. So, the T-Touch stood out as a very unique offering from a traditional Swiss watch brand with a modern twist.
Tissot’s T-Touch Connect Sport is a new series of hybrid connected wrist watches that offer smartwatch-like features while maintaining a traditional quartz movement. This watch has a case made out of antimagnetic titanium and fixed ceramic bezel which is water resistant up to 5 bar.
The watch features Tissot’s newly developed Swiss Low Power Operating System (Sw-ALPS) which adds a digital layer to the wrist watch. The Sw-ALPS software connects to smartphones for GPS-connected activities and also offers regular smartwatch functions but supports no third-party apps.
The smartwatch can be charged using a 2 pin magnetic connector, but can last up to 6 months on a single charge as the battery can also be charged using solar power from the photovoltaic cells in the dial.
The smartwatch lacks most of the commonly found health monitoring features and even misses out on the basic heart rate monitoring which is available only during an activity.
