Product Information

Full details

The Tissot PRC 100 Solar Quartz is an ideal choice for watch enthusiasts seeking a low-maintenance, reliable timepiece that blends modern technology with a classic stainless steel aesthetic. Its core strength lies in its Lightmaster Solar Quartz movement, which eliminates the need for battery replacements by converting light into power. While it offers exceptional versatility and a durable build, users should note that the 39mm case size is a specific fit that may feel smaller on larger wrists compared to oversized modern alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I ever need to replace the battery?

No, the Lightmaster Solar Quartz movement is designed to be powered by light, eliminating the need for periodic battery changes.

How long does it hold a charge in total darkness?

When fully charged, the watch can typically run for several months in total darkness before the power reserve is exhausted.

Is the sapphire crystal prone to scratching?

Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and highly resistant to scratches from daily use, though it can still be damaged by diamond or extremely hard materials.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

The watch is designed for daily water resistance, but you should check the specific ATM rating on the case back before submerging it in water.

Is the bezel rotatable?

No, the dodecagonal bezel on the PRC 100 is fixed and decorative rather than a functional rotating timing bezel.

Can I put a leather strap on this watch?

Yes, any 20mm wide strap will be compatible with the lug width of this model.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped running after storage

Place the dial in direct sunlight or under a bright desk lamp for 12-24 hours to recharge the internal power cell.

Second hand jumping at two-second intervals

This indicates the End of Energy feature is active; the watch requires an immediate light charge to prevent stopping.

Difficulty changing straps

Ensure you are using standard 20mm spring bars and a spring bar tool to avoid damaging the lugs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Battery-free operation via light charging
  • Extremely durable sapphire crystal
  • Versatile 39mm size suitable for most wrists
  • Sophisticated dodecagonal bezel design
  • Standard lug size allows for easy aftermarket strap compatibility

Cons

  • The 39mm case may appear small for wearers who prefer larger watches
  • Fixed bezel does not rotate for timing functions
  • Light charging requires regular exposure to visible light sources

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, keep the watch face exposed to light during the day. If the watch has been stored in a dark drawer for an extended period, it may require several hours of exposure to direct sunlight or bright artificial light to reach a full charge. Regarding compatibility, the watch utilizes standard 20mm spring bars, making it highly compatible with a wide range of third-party straps. For maintenance, clean the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils and dust. While the watch is water-resistant, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents on the casing or strap to prevent surface degradation.
