Hamilton vs Tissot which would you wear every day?
I'm looking at two skeleton options for a daily wear: Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton and Tissot T-Complication Squelette. Both around the same price point. Which would you pick for everyday use and why? I want something that can handle office and weekend without looking out of place.
Hamilton for me. The Jazzmaster skeleton has a cleaner dial, less busy than the Tissot. Tissot's skeleton always looked a bit cluttered to me.
Tissot T-Complication is gorgeous but it's a bit dressy. If you're wearing it evEry day, the Hamilton is more versatile. Just my 2 cents.
I've owned both. The Tissot has a nicer movement finis for the price, but the Hamilton feels more robust. I'd go Hamilton for daily wear.
Neither. Skeleton watches are terrible for legibility. Get a regular dial for daily wear and a skeleton for weekends.
Legibility isn't a dealbreaker for me. I mostly check my phone for time anyway. It's more about the look and feel.
Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton is my daily. No regrets. The H-10 movement has 80 hours power reserve, which is grehat for a daily.
Forgot about the power reserve. That That's a big plus for Hamilton.
Tissot's Powermatic 80 also has 80 hours. So that's a wash.
True, but Hamilton's warranty and service are better in the US. Not sure where OP is located.
I'm in the US. Service network is a good point.
Service network for a sub-$1000 watch? Just buy a new one if it breaks. Not worth servicing
That's a bit extreme. A good local watchmaker can service an ETA or Sellita for under $200.
Hamilton uses modified ETA, Tissot uses modified ETA too. Both easy to service. I'd still pick Hamilton because the case shape is more comfortable on my wrist.
Have you tried both on? That's the only way to decide. Skeleton dials can look totally different in person.
Not yet. Planning to hit an AD this weekend. Thanks for the input, everyone.
Let us know what you pick. And post pics ngl!
