The connection between your watch and your phone is made via the Tissot app, thus enabling you to receive various notifications directly on your watch. It is perfectly possible to use your watch without connecting it to your phone, but these functions will not be available.

You can delete your account at any time using the mobile app settings. Your personal data are deleted immediately. When you delete your account, the phone automatically disconnects from the watch.

The watch’s battery life varies considerably depending on how the watch is used and its exposure to sunlight. In ideal conditions, the watch has a battery life of up to 6 months if connected and 10 years if used independently (without the app).

If you are not receiving notifications on your watch, check the following points:

• Check your watch is properly connected to your phone (Bluetooth icon displayed on the watch).

• Activate the “Notification” option in the watch settings.

• Check in your phone settings that the app has the necessary permissions to send notifications.

All Tissot watch cases undergo several tests, including a water resistance check. Tissot tests the watch's ability to resist impacts and pressure, as well as the penetration of liquids, gas and dust by replicating the real-life conditions in which the watch may find itself. 
Tissot recommends to have the water resistance of a watch checked annually by an authorised service partner to ensure optimal performance over time.

Below we explain the meaning of our water resistance ratings in terms of the suitability range of a watch.
Water resistant up to a pressure of:
- 3 bar (30 m): suitable for hand washing
- 5 bar (50 m): suitable for hand washing and bathing
- 10 bar (100 m): suitable for showering and swimming
- 20 bar/30 bar (200 m/300 m): suitable for snorkelling and scuba diving
- 60 bar (600 m): suitable for professional diving (diver's watch according to ISO 6425 (2018) standard)

On a watch, a tachymeter is used to measure an average speed over a given distance. More precisely, it is a chronograph with a graduated scale on the dial or bezel, on which the speed can be measured in kilometres per hour based on a fixed distance of 1000 metres.
To use a tachymeter, only the central chronograph hand is used. Start the chronograph and stop it once the 1000 metres have been covered. You can then read the speed indicated on the dial by the central chronograph hand. Example: to calculate the speed of a car: the chronograph indicates that the distance of 1000 metres has been covered in 30 seconds. The central chronograph hand points to 120 on the tachymeter scale. The average speed over 1000 metres is therefore 120 kilometres per hour.

Both types of movement are mechanical, but they have to be wound in different ways. A hand-wound watch has to be wound every day by hand using the crown, while an automatic watch has an oscillating weight on the movement that winds the watch using wrist movements, hence the term "automatic".

There are two accepted ways of writing the number 4: IV and IIII. Various historical explanations coexist. In particular, we know that the IIII was used for more than 4 centuries, to avoid confusion between the IV and the VI, when the watch is upside down. Another theory explains that in the 16th and 17th centuries, the IIII was used to make it easier for people who couldn't read to tell the time. Or it may simply be an aesthetic choice, as the IIII balances well with the VIII opposite.

A watch bezel is a ring fitted to the case, which is often used to record additional data, such as the time of an event, or to read the time in a second time zone. A bidirectional bezel can be rotated in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. A unidirectional bezel, on the other hand, can only be rotated in one direction, to prevent it from being accidentally turned in the wrong direction, thereby distorting the measurements. For example, if you want to measure dive time, any incident or false manoeuvre can only reduce the limits initially set, and prevent the user from misinterpreting his air reserves or decompression time.
To use a unidirectional bezel for scuba diving, set the main marker (initially positioned at 12 o'clock) on the bezel to the planned end of dive time. When the minute hand reaches the main mark on the bezel, the planned dive time will have elapsed. For example, for a 30-minute dive started at 15:00: align the main marker on the bezel with 15:30 min (at 6:00) just before diving. The minute hand will need 30 minutes to reach the main mark on the bezel, thus indicating the remaining dive time.

Tissot sells its watches exclusively through its worldwide network of authorised retailers, whose addresses can be consulted in the Points of Sale section, as well as through its official Tissot Online Boutiques. Since 2014, our watches have been identifiable thanks to our ''WS'' (Watch-Secur) numbering system, which allows them to be identified and their warranty to be activated on our website.
If you have any doubts about the origin of your watch, you can contact our customer service via the contact form (Customer Service section, tab: ASK US A QUESTION) or see your nearest service centre in order to carry out a full analysis of your Tissot.

Our official website features all watches from the current Tissot collection. Some references might not be available on our website anymore but could be found and purchased through one of our official retailers.

Like any high-precision instrument, a watch needs to be serviced periodically to ensure it is working at its best. The frequency of servicing depends on the model, the climate and the care you give it. As a general rule, we recommend that you have your watch serviced every 4 to 5 years by a Tissot Authorised Service Centre.

We guarantee the availability of spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 20 years for gold watches, from the date production of the watch ceases. If, for any reason, production of a particular spare part is stopped or postponed, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to offer an alternative solution to the customer. Thereafter, we will use our best endeavours to maintain collector's items.

All servicing of your watch must be carried out by one of our authorized service centers. Any service not carried out by an authorized service center will void the warranty. A complete list of service centers is available in the  the Customer Service section, tab: find a service center. 

The watch's crystal captures the energy contained in light (natural or artificial) by means of solar cells (like a solar panel), which use this energy to power the movement. 

This technology has long‑lasting reliability. Over time, the solar cell gradually loses efficiency, rather like any other device that wears out. It continues to work, but converts light into electricity a little less efficiently. This natural phenomenon, specific to solar technologies, is known as the Staebler-Wronski effect.

The grid visible under the crystal is the active photovoltaic layer, a technology that captures light and converts it into electrical energy. This electricity is used to power the watch and recharge its battery, thus keeping it running. However, for physical reasons, a solar cell cannot be totally transparent. The visible grid is therefore necessary for capturing light effectively, while leaving the remainder of the crystal transparent. This technological compromise allows solar energy to be embedded in an elegant, functional design.

This structure is both unobtrusive and high-performing: the solar cell provides good electrical efficiency, while remaining almost invisible no matter what angle it is viewed from.

It has a lifespan of between 10 and 15 years.

To charge a Tissot PRC100 Solar, you need to expose it to light. The level of charge will vary according to the nature and intensity of the light.

When fully charged, the watch can operate for up to 14 months without energy (i.e. light).

Your solar-powered watch is equipped with an E.O.E. (End of Energy) indicator. If the seconds hand jumps every 4 seconds, your watch needs exposing to light. At this stage, its power reserve is still around 18 hours.
