FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 10 bar (100 metres) water resistance, the Tissot Gent XL Classic is suitable for swimming and recreational water activities. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend having it serviced by our authorised technicians at Cassim & Co. to maintain water resistance integrity and warranty coverage.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team at Mall of the South. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase to ensure a perfect fit on your wrist.
Q: What is the difference between sapphire crystal and mineral crystal?
A: Sapphire crystal is significantly more scratch-resistant than mineral crystal, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. This ensures your watch face maintains its clarity and finish for decades, resisting everyday wear and minor impacts.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Yes, the Gent XL Classic's refined design, blue sunray dial, and polished stainless steel construction make it equally appropriate for formal business settings and smart casual wear. Its 42mm case size and 8.9mm profile ensure it sits comfortably under a dress shirt cuff.
Q: Does this watch have a seconds hand?
A: Yes, the Tissot Gent XL Classic features a central seconds hand that sweeps around the dial, providing precise timekeeping visualization alongside the hour and minute hands.
Q: What does the 2-year warranty cover?
A: The international Tissot warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. It excludes normal wear and tear, battery changes, accidental damage, and water damage due to misuse.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and dust accumulation.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
- Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down before any water exposure to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes and cleaning agents.
- When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in its original box or a dedicated watch case.
- Have the water resistance tested and seals inspected every 2-3 years by an authorised service centre, especially if the watch is regularly exposed to water.
- If the watch stops or shows signs of moisture under the crystal, bring it immediately to our service centre to prevent internal damage.
- Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- For quartz movements, replace the battery promptly when the watch stops to prevent potential leakage that could damage the movement.
