Tissot T Touch Expert Watch Review The King Of Quartz. This review of the Tissot T Touch Expert is about the quartz watch that made quartz watches cool again. Years ago when I first began my acquaintance with mechanical watches, the notion that quartz watches were inferior began to develop. These less expensive, economy movements of mass production couldnt hold ground to the growing fascination I was having with mechanical movements. Even though mechanical movements are less precise than their quartz contenders, I still feel a preference for the level of dedication and time that goes into mechanical watch creation.

But how well does it workI then realized how narrowly I was thinking there is a place for quartz movements in my heart. Mechanical watches are amazing for what they are wrist borne machines, wrought of history, tradition, and immense amounts of pride. What began as tools, evolved into status symbols and emotional objects of desire. You wear a mechanical watch when you want to smile with appreciation when glancing at your wrist. The quartz watch on other hand is a separate beast all together, and unfortunately shares the same title, watch. Perhaps a different name should be given to those quartz watches that dont compete with mechanical watches, but rather fill in the gaps where mechanical watches cannot enter. A good quartz watch can be something altogether different that a mechanical one. They can do things mechanical watches cannot, and they do the same things in a different way or for different occasions. Theres always a reason for celebrated watch brands to create special edition iterations. Whether its for an anniversary or to pay homage to a country.

You take your mechanical watch to meetings, parties, and social occasions. You take your quartz watch into the garage, the yard, and the hard wilderness. While there are some mechanical watches built for this duty, you are among the minuscule few if you can afford to subject your beloved timepiece masterpieces to almost certain abuse and possible destruction. Most of you have beater quartz watches I am sure. Enter the Tissot T Touch Expert. You can read elsewhere on a. Blogto. Read. com or otherwise to learn about the interesting history of the T Touch watch that began in 2. T Touch. Suffice it to say that the T Touch Expert is the 4th iteration of the T Touch line up after the original T Touch, T Touch Navigator, and T Touch Trekking. Look for the next version which is the diving version, the Tissot Sea Touch, due to arrive this year. The T Touch expert is an extremely appealing, though not perfect watch. It quickly became one of my favorite acquisitions, and I am continually charmed by its abilities. I dont use everything the watch can do, but then again most people who own it will not. This review will focus on what I consider to be an average style of T Touch Expert ownership. Then you have people like survivalist Les Stroud from The Discovery Channels Survivorman who opted to wear a Tissot T Touch Trekking, planning a different line of duty for a similar watch. Tissot makes a well rounded watch indeed. The T Touch Expert has a few notable improvements over the original T Touch. It is bigger, has a slightly refined case and face, a larger LCD screen, and adds some extra functionality while smoothing out operation overall. Watch Darkness Online Forbes' title='Watch Darkness Online Forbes' />Ill start with look at the watch first. Most men love the looks of the T Touch line, I know I do. More notably, most of us cant really describe why we like it. It is easy to say cool in reaction to the watch. Watch Final Destination Online Facebook. Or that is pretty manly looking. What are we getting at thoughThe case has a design that reminds you of a piece of space ship or exotic looking tool. It is futuristic, while believable. The angles and curves all seem to make sense and flow, but are so far from being boring, and it is easy to think that the design is more complex than it really is. The most striking feature is the lugs, that are crafted like cybernetic fangs. The bracelet is modern looking as well, but really no more complex than it needs to be. That is the trick behind the design it deceives you into thinking there are more lines than there actually are, a sign of a lot of design refinement. If you happened to be someone who doesnt like how it looks, thats fine enough people do to keep Tissot happy. The T Touch Expert is one of the only carbon fiber faced watches that I actually like. This proves that the material is useful in some instances I tend to get annoyed when carbon fiber is just thrown on a watch face in a futile attempt to make it look better. A Season With Fsu there. The carbon fiber works because the hands, hour indexes and LCD panel contrast so well, and it is extremely easy to read the dial. I opted for the Arabic numeral version of the T Touch Expert, and I am happy that I did. The other Tissot T Touch face design version features quasi diamond shaped areas meant to serve as some of the hour markers. They function well to highlight the areas of operation touchable on the face, but make the watch a bit hard to read in my opinion. The Arabic numerals on this version are printed in a manner attempting to remind you of a sports car tachometer, complete with a red lined area. Something to do with Tissots affiliation with organized racing maybe, I really dont care about such things and focus strictly on the looks independently of other factors. The red colored hour markers add a visual interest and welcome splash of color to the face. It isnt particularly functional, but I dont mind the deviation from the white indicators. A few of the numerals are absent on the bottom of the dial due to the LCD panel, but Tissot thankfully kept some hour indexes there for your benefit. The watch hands and hour markers are richly covered in a very bright luminant that works beautifully. This watch is easy to read in the dark with a sharp looking lume that isnt blurry. In the event you are in total darkness, a red hued backlight glows against the LCD panel where you have the option of reading the time along with other information. The watch bezel rotates in both directions, and functions to assist with keeping track of north during certain periods of navigation, or helping you stay on a bearing. The bezel rotates smoothly, but a bit to easily in my opinion. I would have liked just the slightest bit more effort required to move bezel. A minor issue though. Before moving on to the many functions of the watch, Id like to cover a few more important items about wearing the watch. The T Touch Expert is entirely crafted in titanium, which makes it very light. Titanium was an optional metal on some previous T Touch watches, but for the United States, the T Touch Expert is only available in titanium. The result is a watch that is light, and stronger than steel. Although the watch case is a bit over 4. I actually think the leather or rubber strap models might be heavier than those with the titanium bracelet. Titanium has historically been very hard to machine with precision. You used to have titanium cases that where too rounded and lacked fine angles. That seems to have diminished in the last few years, the Tissot T Touch Expert being proof of that. The level of polish and alternating finish on the watch surfaces are impressive, and the finely cut or angled edges on this watch wouldnt have been possible too long ago. The color of titanium is also improving a bit, offering more of a sheen, and less of a dull gray look. There are some downsides to titanium though, namely that it is easy to scratch. Youll need to be OK with fine lines developing on any titanium watch. While the metal is stronger than steel, it does not deflect scratches as well. I take excellent care of my watches, but still notice wear showing up a bit faster especially on the bracelet of my T Touch Expert. The bracelet itself features a nicely crafted locking clasp and a divers extension. The watch is water resistant to 1. The bracelet is comfortable, though it took me a while to size it properly.

Peter 2 1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. In what is just the latest excess in the name it and claim it Prosperity Gospel movement, Joel Osteen, pastor of Lakewood Church, the biggest church in America with approximately 4. Night of Hope sermon in Key Arena in Seattle Washington B E As the link to the January 2. While church services regularly have offerings where members can volunteer to make a donation to support a ministry, there is no Biblical support for cover charges just to hear a church service or increasing pricing to ridiculous levels for preferred seating. How fortunate we are that Jesus Christ The Lord never charged any of his followers money to hear Him speak or had preferred seating for a select few who were rich and could really pay for a good seat to hear Him preach. And when Jesus sent out His disciples on their own to go to different towns to preach the Gospel He told them. Matthew 1. 0 8. And what is Osteen actually preaching once you pay a cover charge for entering church  A false message. As he says in his book, Live Your Best Life Now  Its Gods will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. Its Gods will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt. Its Gods will for you to live in health and not in sickness all the days of your life. This sums up Joel Osteens prosperity gospel message, also known as the Word of Faith Movement, which is based on the false idea that a Christian can use their faith to obtain material gain and wealth. Other nuances include speaking wealth into being by pronouncing the riches before they arrive. At the heart of it, it is commanding God to provide a material blessing as if it is the individual who has power over the universe, fate and even God. The Bible says otherwise. Jesus Christ said Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal 2. F or where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. As Christians, our focus should not be on gaining material wealth. Christians can work, make incomes and enjoy material success, if it is Gods will for us. But it is certainly not our goal or purpose on this Earth. In becoming a Christian, believers are to surrender their sinful desires and worldly lusts to let the desires of Jesus and His righteousness fill us up. It is about living for Gods will, not our own. And Jesus will is not focused on our being wealthy and prosperous. He explained this in a parable He spoke 1. And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over youAnd he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness desiring material gain for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully 1. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits And he said, This will I do I will pull down my barns, and build greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee then whose shall those things be, which thou hast providedSo is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke 1. 2In this parable, notice Jesus begins in verse 1. Constant concern for material gain is not good, in fact it is a violation of the 1. Commandment which instructs us not to desire the things others possess. And in the parable Jesus speaks of a man who was rich and successful to the point that he could not even store everything he had. Now this was not the sin. Success in and of itself, when lawfully gained, is not a bad thing in the Bible. It was what followed afterwards that was at issue. He stated to his soul, that he was now set for years to come, so he could relax, eat, drink and be merry. The wealthy mans misplaced confidence in his wealth made the man so blind that he assumed he knew how long his life would be. Watch Che: Part Two Online Facebook. He gave no credit to God for the crops growing so well and then showed he had no fear of God by his boastful attitude and ideas that he knew his own lifespan. This is what Jesus means by being rich towards God. What God wants is not our order and commands to Him. He wants our love, worship, respect and thanks. God is the one gives us life. Who blesses us. And the only one who can provide eternal life. The prosperity Gospel goes against this by making worldly prosperity guaranteed and just a matter of increasing faith to receive it. This me centered false theology has exploded in church across the world and led to great material gain for the pastors. Notice the passage at the opening of the article states And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. The Prosperity Gospel preachers use human desire for wealth, health and success as their means to make millions upon millions of dollars. All the while they distort the Bible and even go so far as to deny Jesus Christ. Here is Pastor Osteen on Larry King Live These are tell tale signs of a false teacher. Not only did  Osteen deny Jesus, a caller had to quote Scripture to Him to remind Him that Jesus unequivocally stated. Father God but by me. The Lord Jesus left no wiggle room. A basic concept of Christianity is Jesus Christ being the exclusive way to Heaven. Jesus went on to say but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. So for Pastor Osteen to say its not for me to judge in the case of someone who clearly does not believe in Jesus he was denying the Lord that brought them. Osteen, supposedly, the Number 1 pastor in America says its not my business. And he even indicates that people he has met in India who are not Christians are going to Heaven as well. This is a blatant denial of the Gospel, Jesus Christ and the Bible. Again, we stress that it is not wrong for Christians or pastors to make an income. Joel Osteen has written many books and rightfully deserves the income from the millions of copies that he has sold. But it is the doctrine that is being preached that is at issue as it turns the focus from eternal life to the present life and emphasizes personal desire of following the desires of God. Jesus said If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. The essence of being a follower of Jesus is the willingness to forego the sinful pleasures of today or their own personal agenda for the greater glory of eternal life and membership in Gods Kingdom. What if it is Gods will that a well to do young woman, give up a great future in college, a successful career and lifestyle to go live in one of the poorest, war torn regions of Africa and start a ministry That is precisely what happened to once Christian woman.
