FAQs

Is the Tissot PR516 battery-operated?

Yes, this model features a Swiss quartz movement, which is powered by a battery.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

Yes, it is water-resistant to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and showering, though it is not intended for deep-sea diving.

What is the lug width for strap changes?

The PR516 features an interchangeable system; please check the specific lug width on the Tissot website or your included documentation to ensure a proper fit.

Does the watch have a warranty?

Tissot offers a limited international warranty for manufacturing defects; keep your proof of purchase to validate it.

Is the sapphire crystal prone to scratches?

Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and highly resistant to scratches under normal wear conditions.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hands do not align at 12 o'clock after reset

Consult the manual to perform a chronograph calibration procedure using the crown and pusher inputs.

Watch has stopped running

The battery is likely depleted; take the watch to a certified watchmaker to replace the battery and pressure-test the seals.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly durable sapphire crystal glass
  • Reliable and precise Swiss quartz movement
  • Water-resistant up to 100 meters

  • Quartz movement lacks the sweep of a mechanical second hand

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown to the second click and rotate it until the desired time is reached. The chronograph function is operated via the pushers on the side of the case: the top pusher starts and stops the timer, while the bottom pusher resets the hands. To keep the watch in optimal condition, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat or debris. Because the watch features an interchangeable bracelet system, you can easily swap the factory stainless steel band for a leather strap to change the watch's appearance. Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals or extreme magnetic fields, and have the battery replaced by an authorized Tissot service center to maintain the water-resistant seal.
