A 2026 redesign of Tissot's Visodate dress watch, cut to 39mm and 10.45mm with straight faceted lugs, a box sapphire crystal and a black dial with date at 3. It uses the 80-hour Powermatic 80 automatic and comes on a beads-of-rice style bracelet.

Creator Consensus

Creator Consensus

Very positive

5 reviews: 4 positive, 1 mixed, 0 negative. 4 of 5 recommend it.

Every reviewer credits the Powermatic 80 with reliability and a long reserve. Most find the 39mm case just right, slim and low on the wrist, and call the design understated and good value within its segment. The dial draws a more mixed response, with some finding the lume sparse and dim. Several note that limited water resistance rules out go-anywhere use.

Where they differ. Several reviewers see the redesign as a genuine, cohesive modernisation, while one feels it lacks the character of the original Visodate. One reviewer also thinks more interesting rivals compete in the same segment.

Tissot Rebuilt the Visodate — But Did It Lose the Charm?

Video, 4 minHands-on reviewJun 2026

Mixed

A nice-looking, thin and easy-wearing 39mm watch with a superb trapezoidal date window, but it lacks the charm and identity of the older forum-classic Visodate. It faces much stronger competition near $1,000, and the PRX is now Tissot's enthusiast favourite.

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

The reviewer sees the new Visodate as a clear step up in quality, finishing and design over the previous version, praising its thinness, dial detail and case finish. Lume is weak and the 50m water resistance limits it to dress-watch duty; the $950 price is judged good.
