FAQs

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

No, the Tissot Carson Premium Watch has a water resistance of 5 bar (50 meters), which is suitable for splashes and brief immersion but not for swimming or diving.

How often do I need to wind this watch?

If worn daily, the automatic movement should keep itself wound. If you wear it intermittently, it's recommended to wind it manually every 1-2 days to maintain the 38-hour power reserve and ensure accuracy.

What is the difference between an automatic and a quartz watch?

An automatic watch is powered by a mechanical movement that uses the motion of the wearer's wrist to wind a mainspring. A quartz watch is powered by a battery and uses an electronic oscillator to regulate timekeeping.

Can I wear this watch while sleeping?

While you can wear it while sleeping, it's generally recommended to take it off to avoid unnecessary wear and tear, and to allow your skin to breathe. If you don't wear it for more than 38 hours, you will need to re-wind and set it.

How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?

Use a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning. For more persistent dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using soaps or cleaning solutions, as they can damage the finish or get trapped in the links.

What does '38-hour power reserve' mean?

It means that after fully winding the watch, it will continue to run accurately for approximately 38 hours without any movement or manual winding.

Is the sapphire crystal scratch-resistant?

Yes, sapphire crystal is exceptionally hard and highly resistant to scratches, though it can still be chipped or cracked under significant impact.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working.

The watch may have run out of power. Manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise while pulled out to the first position. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully. If it stops again shortly after winding, the power reserve may be compromised, and a service might be needed.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not trying to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Adjust the time to be before 9 PM, set the date, and then advance the time past midnight to let the date change. Finally, set the correct time.

Watch is losing or gaining time significantly.

Minor discrepancies (a few seconds per day) are normal for automatic watches. However, significant time loss or gain could indicate the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields, received a shock, or requires servicing. Remove from magnetic sources and see if accuracy improves. If not, professional servicing is recommended.

Crown is difficult to unscrew or screw down.

Ensure you are turning the crown in the correct direction (counter-clockwise to unscrew, clockwise to screw down). If it still feels stiff, do not force it. There might be debris in the threads or an issue with the crown stem. Consult a watchmaker.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and elegant design suitable for diverse occasions.
  • Reliable Swiss automatic movement ensures precision timekeeping.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel and sapphire crystal.
  • Understated 30mm case size offers a classic, refined look.
  • Clear legibility with contrasting hands and Roman numeral markers.

Cons

  • The 30mm case size may be perceived as small by those preferring larger watches.
  • Automatic movement requires regular wear or winding to maintain power reserve.
  • Water resistance is limited to splashes and brief immersion, not suitable for swimming.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch is ready to wear upon purchase. If the power reserve has depleted, manual winding can be performed by unscrewing the crown, turning it clockwise about 30-40 times until resistance is felt, and then pushing it back in and screwing it down. For initial setting, pull the crown out to the first click to adjust the date and to the second click to set the time.

Compatibility: This is a mechanical wristwatch and does not require software or electronic compatibility. It is designed to be worn on the wrist.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Winding: If the watch is not worn daily, wind it manually every couple of days to maintain its accuracy and the longevity of the movement. The 38-hour power reserve means it will stop if not worn or wound for approximately a day and a half.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 5 bar, avoid prolonged submersion, high-velocity water (like strong shower streams or watersports), and steam. After exposure to water, dry the watch thoroughly. Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if the watch is old or has been subjected to impact.
  • Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the automatic movement.
