Tissot T - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

it all stems from the watch not actually being waterproof it's more water resistant than waterproof. The little indentations on the back that look like they are for a tool to unscrew it are actually holes i guess for the altimeter and meteo so it can sense pressure. Behind the back just behind the holes is a nylon gauze material and underneath this is a sensor slightly recessed and covered with some kind of waterproof substance. As far as i can see the problems lie here any water sweat or other foreign object than gets into this gauze will eventually will clog this gauze material which at first will affect the altimeter then the meteo. When the gauze has been clogged up severely i gets very dirty indeed which means when it gets wet it takes an age to dry out so if you wear it in the shower like i used to it will never dry out this causes the watch to malfunction quite severely. You can actually fix this problem yourself just get a very small flat screwdriver and lever the back off don't worry it's only a push fit and comes of easily you will see straight away a dirty damp smelly clogged up round piece of nylon gauze clean this up with a bit of WARM not boiling soapy water being careful not to disturb the pressure sensor and it's waterproof goo inside then dry it all and put it together
Hope this helps

I’m in synchronization mode bur cannot move the hands

Hello - See the information here: https://allservicecenters.com/Tissot/Tissot-Philippines-Service-Center-Customer-Care-Number-_013097.html Best wishes.

In this watch the battery should be changed after one year, depending on how often the features are used. After changing the battery the all reset should be done. Best to take it to an authorized service, and not any non authorized place to change the battery. Get in touch with Tissot for the info about where to bring the watch.

You are need to send it into tissot for a service. You cannot fix this problem on your own. There is a two year warranty for tissot. Hopefully you will be eligible.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure. The easiest thing is to do with things like this are to send them in for a warranty repair. But I may be able to help you if this isn't an option. First, if you don't have the manual you can view it here. I've also included a breakout of the functions below.


If you reset the watch you have to set the touch mode and zone information before certain features will work:

1. The Altimeter and compass with only display in touch mode and only for 30 seconds. Other options in touch mode display for 15 seconds.
2. These will not display if you do not set the Hemisphere and Climate zone, instructions are on page 5/13 of the above manual

Are you wearing it? Only reads proper ambient temp when off your wrist. Otherwise it is reading body temp.

I think that's a SR936Sw or equivalent. That watch has a pop-off back, so its easy enough to access. You'll need a jewelers pincers or something like a sharp pin to extract the battery (Carefully!) as its embedded in the body.

Take out the old one and you have your answer!

Shortcut battery with AC contact. AC can be found on the sides of watch movement(very tiny). You have to use pointed tweezers: one end on battery+, another on AC contact for three secs....

look on ebay , that is your best bet

This is a Myth my friend.Anyone can change a battery on Tissot T Touch.The First models have 2 steps the Battery Replacement and Synchronization.After the Tissot Expert add the Reset as third step. In my blog i have instructions with video how can you do that. www.watch4maker.com

If the functions dont work from moisture I can repair it. if the sensor damaged the watch is unrepairable and only the swatch group service center can repair this watch.please check my Blog i have many posts about these problems for all Tissot T Touch Series Watchmaker Video Review For Watchmakers and Watch Fans

there usually is an AC contact point to reset digital watches. Touching the + and the ac point with a conductive wire usually resets the watch. Not sure about the spring- I'm not going to open my Tissot up unless I have to.

Hi,You can try to so the synchronization to match the digital time and the analog hands.here are the step by step procedure including visuals, click on the link.I hope this will resolve your issue.Thank you for choosing Fixya.

Push the middle button then touch the centre screen selecting the "nits" mode(24 C m), then push the middle button again for 5 seconds."Synchro" will appear on the display. By using pushers + and -, bring the two hands pre-cisely to 12 o'clock Incrementation of the minute hand(3 steps=1 minute) Incrementattion of the hour hand(3 steps=1 minute) Press the middle button to validate the setting.

You Can see the video in my blog how can change the battery from Tissot Sea Touch.Is all the same. www.watch4maker.com

I have the same problem with my t touch one, the first model with round push button, after take it to a battery replacement and service, and ask a tissot representative store, I receive two answers and both says that I have to change the movement... means ... the machine, and if is under warranty will be free, is maybe 6 or more years old so no more warranty, sad but true, I let it be. I will not spend at least 400 USD. to do it, so, try to enjoy the rest of functions left and a nice looking watch.

Steps to Synchronize the Hands

1. Press the centre pusher (T). The watch should beep once.
2. Touch the centre of the touch-sensitive face until opt appears, in opt select 24H Cm (or 12H Fft or 24H Fft or 12H Cm) is shown in the digital LCD display.
3. Press and hold the centre pusher (T) for approximately 5 seconds. The watch will beep once and then again, a second time, after 5 seconds have passed. After the second beep, the digital LCD display should read SYNCHRO. If not, return to step one.
4. Press the upper pusher (+) to advance the hour hand until it is positioned exactly at 12:00. (PH press T button to to switch to minute hand adjust)
5. Press the lower pusher (-) to advance the minute hand until it is also positioned exactly at 12:00.
6. When both hands are aligned together and pointing directly at 12:00, press the centre pusher (T) to save the setting. The hands of the watch are now synchronized

The Tissot Touch watch is expected to need "SYNCHRONIZTION" periodically. (that is, to synchronize the digital and analog portions.) The Tissot manual tells how to do this. This manual came with your watch and is available online from the Tissot website.

good luck, Rodney
