FAQ
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
Yes, with 100 metres (10 ATM) water resistance, the Tissot PR 100 is suitable for swimming and snorkelling. However, we recommend avoiding hot water exposure and having the seals checked periodically to maintain water resistance integrity.
How often does the battery need replacing?
Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our qualified technicians can replace the battery while maintaining the watch's water resistance seals.
Can I change the strap myself?
Yes, this model features Tissot's quick-release strap system, allowing you to change straps without tools. Simply slide the release mechanism and swap to any compatible 20mm quick-release strap. We stock a range of alternative straps and bracelets at our boutique.
What is the power source for this watch?
This watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement using a replaceable battery. Unlike automatic watches that require wrist motion or manual winding, quartz watches offer superior accuracy and require minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement.
Is the 40mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
The 40mm diameter is considered a versatile mid-size that suits most wrist sizes, typically fitting wrists from 15cm to 20cm comfortably. The relatively slim case profile and short lug-to-lug distance ensure it doesn't wear oversized. We recommend trying it on at our boutique for the perfect fit assessment.
Does this watch come with the original Tissot box and papers?
Yes, all our Tissot watches are supplied as complete sets with the original presentation box, international warranty card, instruction manual, and all accompanying documentation. As an authorised dealer, we provide the full authentic Tissot experience.
What makes the sapphire crystal better than mineral glass?
Sapphire crystal is significantly harder than mineral glass, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (second only to diamond). This makes it highly scratch-resistant during daily wear, maintaining optical clarity for years. It's a hallmark of quality watchmaking that ensures your dial remains pristine.
Warranty
- This Tissot watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal or strap, nor cosmetic deterioration from regular use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are consumable components with a limited lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, failure to ensure crown position, or deteriorated seals due to lack of maintenance is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage resulting from accidents, impacts, improper handling, unauthorised modifications, or service by non-authorised technicians voids the warranty.
- The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer and presented with the original stamped and dated warranty card.
- Warranty service must be performed by authorised Tissot service centres. Contact Cassim & Co. for assistance with warranty claims and authorised service centre locations.
- The warranty does not affect your statutory rights under South African consumer protection legislation.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, moisture and dust accumulation.
- Clean the leather strap periodically with a slightly dampened cloth, avoiding excessive water exposure which can damage the leather. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents and cleaning agents which may damage the case finish or strap.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged or wet. Ensure the crown is pushed fully in to maintain water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, as seals deteriorate over time with normal wear.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use. The original Tissot box provides ideal protection from dust and moisture.
- If the watch is not worn for extended periods, operate the crown and functions occasionally to keep internal mechanisms lubricated and functional.
- For battery replacement, always visit an authorised service centre to ensure proper procedure and maintain water resistance integrity. DIY battery changes often compromise the seal.
- Service the movement every 4-5 years with an authorised Tissot service centre to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
