FAQs

What is the water resistance of the Tissot PR100 38mm?

The water resistance varies by specific model within the PR100 line, but many are rated at 100 meters (10 ATM), making them suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Always verify the specific rating on your watch or its documentation.

Is the Tissot PR100 38mm an automatic or quartz watch?

The PR100 line includes both automatic and quartz models. The specific movement type should be indicated on the watch dial, case back, or in the product specifications.

How often should the battery be replaced in a quartz Tissot PR100?

Typically, a battery in a quartz watch lasts between 2 to 5 years, depending on the battery type and usage. It's best to have it replaced by a Tissot-authorized dealer or a qualified watchmaker.

Can I wear my Tissot PR100 38mm while showering?

While many PR100 models have 100m water resistance, it's generally advisable to avoid exposing your watch to soaps, shampoos, and hot water in showers. These can degrade gaskets over time. Dry the watch thoroughly afterward if it gets wet.

How do I adjust the metal bracelet on my Tissot PR100?

Metal bracelets are usually adjusted by removing links. This process requires specialized tools and knowledge. It is highly recommended to have this done by an authorized Tissot retailer or a professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the bracelet.

What is the warranty period for a Tissot watch?

Tissot typically offers a 2-year international warranty covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the warranty card included with your watch for specific terms and conditions.

Where can I get my Tissot PR100 serviced?

For servicing, it is recommended to use an official Tissot service center or an authorized Tissot dealer to ensure the use of genuine parts and maintain the integrity of your timepiece.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

If it's a quartz model, the battery may be depleted and needs replacement by a qualified watchmaker. If it's an automatic model, it may need to be wound manually or worn regularly to keep the movement powered.

Time is inaccurate

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. For quartz watches, a battery replacement might be needed. For automatic watches, extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, or physical shocks can affect accuracy; consult a watchmaker for a check-up.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not attempting to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date mechanism. Consult the user manual for the correct procedure to set the date.

Condensation under the crystal

This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Remove the watch immediately from any moisture and take it to an authorized service center for inspection and sealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Tissot PR100 38mm typically arrives ready to wear. The crown is usually in the 'stop' position to conserve battery. To set the time, gently pull the crown outwards to the first or second position (depending on the movement) and rotate it to your desired time. Push the crown back in fully. If your watch has a date function, consult the specific manual for setting the date to avoid damaging the mechanism, especially between 9 PM and 3 AM.

Compatibility: This is a traditional analog watch, so compatibility refers to its suitability for different activities and attire. It is designed to be compatible with most casual, business casual, and formal wear. For water-related activities, always check the specific water resistance rating of your model (e.g., 100m WR) and ensure the crown is fully screwed down or pushed in.

Care: To maintain your Tissot PR100:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Strap/Bracelet: If your watch has a leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight to prevent drying and cracking. Metal bracelets can be cleaned gently with a soft brush.
  • Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a soft pouch, when not in use.
  • Servicing: It is recommended to have your watch serviced by an authorized Tissot service center approximately every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
