Tissot Le Locle Automatic Small Lady T41.2.183.34

Beautiful and elegant watch, but very low quality and does not deserve the price tag – I have always really loved watches. I have not had a watch on my wrist for as long as I can remember. The watch I had before this watch was much cheaper than this watch, it was quite nice for its price. I love that that watch had a sapphire crystal surface as it was scratch-resistant, but the battery needs to be changed every 2 years, it was still… Read more

in full working order, but I have had it for 7 years and was just sick of having to change the battery every 18-24 months. Since I always wear a watch on my wrist, I thought it would be good to invest in a beautiful, elegant, and good-quality watch that must have a sapphire crystal surface and does not require a battery. The gold and silver Le Locle Automatic Small Lady tick all my criteria. I fell in love with this watch at first sight for numerous aesthetic and design reasons.

Aesthetic and design features a) The face of the watch is of an elegant size with a diameter of 25.3mm. b) I like that the arm/bracelet is made up of 5 lines of tiles. The shape of the tile is not too small to look like a cluttered bracelet and not too few to make the bracelet look too simple. c) My favourite aesthetic feature of the watch is the net design filling the circle that decorates the face of the watch. I find this feature makes the face look non-plain, but so pretty and elegant.

After a few months of wearing it, I noticed that the time was faster than the actual time. I called Tissot to report the issue. I was advised that if I sit in front of a laptop for most of the day, the magnet in the watch will be affected, which affects the time. I was advised that I could bring the watch to the Service Center to get the magnet removed.

Extending the review as of Jan 2025. I would have the watch for about 1 yr 8 months by now, and I am extremely disappointed with the build quality of the watch. As I work in IT, so in front of the computer every day, and I wear the watch with the face facing upward on my wrist. To my dismay, and I am not sure how this is possible but the bezel is so scratched. The band also shows so much wear and tear. It's extremely disappointing when my previous watch was still in very good condition, and like said, I had worn the watch for 7 years, as compared to Tissot Le Locle for over 1.5 years. I feel extremely scammed, given that I paid 4 times the price. Feels like I paid for junk.

The time was not accurate either, I have noticed the time being slow several times. I am not sure if it's because it is a dress watch and I wear it on my non-dominant hand while playing badminton.

I took the watch into the service centre. Customer service this time has been very low quality, the person creating my booking, as you need to, to go into the centre, took down the wrong reason as to why I wanted it to be looked at. The receptionist at the centre was also not friendly. I will add photos to show the terrible wear and tear marks once I get the watch back.
