Tissot T-Touch Watch

Even a sparse description of the Tissot T-Touch Expert watch is enough to stimulate the pleasure center of the gadget geek’s brain. Packed into a dual analog/digital face, this wristwatch is literally a flotilla of functions. Just how many? Well if you were to purchase a separate gadget for everything it does, you’d wind up with a bill far, far higher than the T-Touch’s $1000 price tag.

So what exactly does it do? Well for starters, how about dual time zones, two alarms, and countdown chronographs? Okay, still not impressed? But how about adding a barometer, thermometer, perpetual calendar, compass, altimeter, and an azimuth (sort of a GPS system on your wrist). Oh what’s that? Getting gadget fever? Wait, we’re not done yet.

So what really makes this timekeeper (oh, right, it tells time, too) one-of-a-kind is how all these functions are activated: the face is a touch screen. By tapping on seven different points on the analog face the digital portion displays the results instantly. Of course to cram this type of instrumentation into a watch requires a certain amount of heft and the T-Touch does not disappoint, weighing in at over a quarter pound. Yes, it’s like wearing something with the same heft as a Royale with cheese on your wrist, but it’s not quite a Big Mac.

Rather, at a humongous, half-inch thick, it’s more like there’s a mini Massive Ben on your wrist. And programming the T-Touch’s ambitious functionality takes the same patience that would go into solving a Rubik’s Cube. But if you possess that patience, this just might be the best timekeeping, temperature sensing, direction finding, altitude detecting all-in-one wrist mounted wundergizmo .
