Touch-screen engineering in an altimeter watch? It is not mission-critical, as each of our engineering buddies would state, however it certainly is awesome.

The T Touch Expert lets you toggle between time, altitude, climate, compass, temperature, and stopwatch features with a simple fast tap or swipe.

The action is easier and faster than fumbling for side switches (that the Expert has, as well), it also works even with gloves on. "But the real payoff is less about convenience than about elegance," states an publisher. "This is the best-looking watch I've seen in 10 years of testing technical time-pieces." It's also tops in toughness, precision, and cost.

The Tissot T-Touch Expert is also available in a special aviator watch version for aviation enthusiasts.

A mere $995 is a little price to spend on a T-Touch Expert to leave your father, husband, brother or partner breathless... and all his buddies envious.
