Full details

The Tissot PRC 100 is an ideal choice for watch enthusiasts seeking a blend of classic stainless steel design and modern sustainable technology. This 34mm timepiece is perfect for those who value durability and low-maintenance operation thanks to its innovative solar-powered movement, though potential buyers should note that its fixed, bold dodecagonal bezel offers a very specific aesthetic that may not suit those looking for a minimalist or traditional round-case look.

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, it uses a solar-powered quartz movement that converts light energy into electricity, storing it in a rechargeable cell.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

The PRC 100 series is designed for everyday wear, but always check the specific water resistance rating on the case back before submerging it in water.

How long does the watch run without light?

Once fully charged, the watch typically has a power reserve that allows it to run for several months in total darkness.

Is the sapphire crystal prone to scratching?

Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and highly resistant to scratches, though it can still be chipped or broken by high-impact force.

What is the lug width for replacement straps?

This watch has a 20mm lug width, making it compatible with many standard aftermarket straps.

How should I clean the stainless steel bracelet?

Use a soft brush with mild soapy water to clean the links, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent residue buildup.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not keeping time accurately

The watch may be low on charge. Place it under a direct light source (sunlight or artificial light) for at least 8-12 hours to fully replenish the energy cell.

Second hand jumping every two seconds

This is the 'End of Life' or 'End of Energy' indicator. It means the capacitor is running low. Expose the watch to light until the second hand returns to a one-second interval movement.

Difficulty swapping the watch strap

Ensure you are using a 20mm width strap. Use a spring bar tool to compress the lugs carefully to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Tissot PRC 100 is straightforward. To adjust the time, pull the crown to the second click and rotate to set the hours and minutes. Push the crown back in completely to ensure the watch remains water-resistant. For care, clean the stainless steel case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat and oils. Avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners that might compromise the gaskets. When swapping straps, ensure you use 20mm spring bars to match the lugs. If storing the watch, do not keep it in a dark box for extended periods; store it in a place where it can receive occasional ambient light to keep the capacitor charged.
