A direct descendant of the T-Touch collection, the Connect Solar can now support its wearer in all situations.
As well as the connected functionality, the modern T-Touch is now more hardwearing, privacy-protecting, interactive and autonomous.
A talking point for the brand from the outset of this launch was the navigation system.
Featuring push-pieces, an electronic crown and tactile glass in non-scratch sapphire crystal, Tissot explained how the system has been carefully designed to be suitable for use during any land-based sport.
The Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar has all the basic functions of a T-Touch Expert Solar including a perpetual calendar, countdown, various timers and alarms, plus meteo functions and an altimeter.
Those have been included to enable sportsmen to measure their performance, for example, as well as getting weather forecasts when out in the mountains.
Tissot was also keen to ensure a clean, pared-down design is to suit an everyday city life, thus including functions such as the activity tracker, calls, and notifications (texts, e-mails and equivalents) sent by other apps in the smartphone are managed via the tactile sapphire crystal using its own operating system, Sw-ALPS, which was developed entirely in Switzerland and is compatible with the iOS, Android and Harmony mobile operating systems.
One of the unique features of this watch is that with just one simple click it converts from a connected watch to a “classic” timepiece.
47mm in diameter, it comes in a titanium case and is water resistant to 100m.
