Tissot sells more Swiss automatics on Amazon than most brands, and the lineup can look alike at a glance. The real differences are case size, thickness, water resistance and strap. The PRX is an integrated bracelet sports watch in 35 or 40 mm. The Seastar 1000 is the diver. Le Locle, Visodate and Heritage 1938 are dress watches with lower water ratings, and the Gentleman sits between them. Many of these listings name the Powermatic 80 movement, but they do not state its power reserve, so check the current listing if reserve matters to you. This guide compares seven Tissot automatics by case size, thickness, movement as named on the listing, water resistance and strap, so you can match the model to how you will wear it.
