FAQ
Q: Is the Tissot PR 100 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. However, the crown should be fully screwed down or pushed in (depending on model) before water exposure, and we recommend avoiding hot showers or saunas which can affect seals.
Q: How long will the quartz battery last?
A: Tissot quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit us at Cassim & Co. where our watchmakers will replace the battery, test water resistance, and ensure the watch is functioning perfectly before returning it to you.
Q: Can I change the bracelet to a leather strap?
A: Absolutely. The PR 100 features Tissot's quick-release system with 20mm lug width, allowing you to swap between bracelets and straps without tools. We stock a range of compatible straps at our boutique and can assist with fitting.
Q: What is the accuracy of the quartz movement?
A: Swiss quartz movements are exceptionally accurate, typically within ±15 seconds per month. This far exceeds mechanical watch accuracy and requires no regulation or winding—simply wear and go.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist?
A: The 40mm case diameter is considered a versatile mid-size that suits wrist circumferences from 15cm to 21cm. The bracelet can be professionally sized at our boutique, and the slim 8.3mm profile ensures it wears comfortably without catching on shirt cuffs.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Tissot retailer, every PR 100 purchased from Cassim & Co. includes a 2-year international Tissot warranty covering manufacturing defects. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at time of purchase.
Q: What does Swiss Made mean on this watch?
A: The Swiss Made designation certifies that at least 60% of manufacturing costs are Swiss, the movement is Swiss, final assembly is in Switzerland, and technical development occurred in Switzerland. It is a legally protected mark of quality and origin.
Warranty
- This Tissot PR 100 is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing defects in the case, crystal, or bracelet.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacements, scratches or cosmetic damage to case/crystal/bracelet, damage from accidents or misuse, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to maintain water resistance, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage from extreme conditions.
- To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or repairs must be performed by authorised Tissot service centres. Unauthorised intervention voids the warranty immediately.
- Your warranty card must be completed, stamped, and dated by Cassim & Co. at time of purchase. Retain your proof of purchase as it may be required for warranty claims.
- Cassim & Co., as an authorised Tissot retailer, will facilitate all warranty claims and can advise on coverage questions. Battery replacements and routine maintenance are available at our boutique for a service fee.
Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils that can dull the finish.
- For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is fully secured before any water contact. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents which can damage seals and finishes.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly swim or dive with your watch, as gaskets degrade over time and require periodic replacement.
- When the battery requires replacement, always use an authorised service centre to ensure proper battery specification, gasket replacement, and pressure testing—home battery changes often compromise water resistance.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch will prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
- Avoid impact and shocks where possible. While quartz movements are robust, severe impacts can damage the movement or crack the sapphire crystal.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or shows signs of wear, have it inspected immediately as worn pins or links can result in the watch falling from your wrist.
- The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid contact with diamonds, ceramics, and other materials harder than sapphire.
