The jeweler was telling me that this Tissot (after showing me the TAGs) will last me my whole life:

Any recommendations? I don't want to spend more than $1k. | 
	
 Hamilton has a few similar watches that are a couple hundred more and will probably perfomr better than the Tissot over the long haul.  That being said, in the lower-price market, Tissot is a fine watch.
