T Touch Compass malfunction

[lulan]

Hei, I got my Trekking in titanium since 2 weeks from a Tissot dealer in Hong Kong.
My compass get stuck bertween 9 and 10 hrs.
Actually the external temperature is around 40 degree celsius in these days. So I am trying the trick of the refrigeretor. I hope It works, I love this watch We all do not need any bug on it!!! By the way
y Suunto Advizor is still working fine despite the temperature.
A.

I have done the test: untill the temperature remains around the Zero celsus deg. the Compass turns to work fine, at about 13 deg. Celsus it got stuck at 8 hours. again.
Actually it is sensitive to the low temperature, Two hypotesis
-metal elasticity (different material different dilatation) thus the indicators not free anymore to turn
-electrical interference with magnetic field low temperature different D electric (capacity to let the electrones flux to pass) .
Has anybody contacted Tissot about it yet?

I have a Tissot touch less than a year and the compass function is not working, hands will move to a fix position and stay like that. All other functions work fine. Expensive watch not working.

Same problem, only it happened sooner, and repeatedly, even in the 1-for-1 replacement they gave me.

Bought it from a authorized dealer in Singapore, on 3 Oct 2006:
1. broke down after a few weeks, repaired.
2. broke down after a few weeks, repaired.
3. broke down after a few weeks, replacement watch.
4. broke down after a few weeks, repaired.
5. broke down after a few weeks, now I really don't want them to "repair" the watch... I just want my money back.

No swimming, no baths, yes washing hands and stand-up-showers.
And the thing is "30m" right?
If it is a water-tightness problem, Tissot could come clean, derate the watch to "0m" and sell the rest of the watches with a clean conscience.

i've had mine for a year and never had an issue, and i rinse it with water often to clean it and get it wet while washing my hands. but it does seem to be an issue. obviously you will find more problems on a tissot internet forum than in the general population of tissot owners worldwide, if you were to poll them all. but with the number of posts here and elsewhere i would think there is indeed something about the watch that makes the compass a bit too susceptible to problems more than is normally acceptable. they must be aware of this. i think i'll send an email to them and ask about this. they are very responsive and helpful.

my t-touch has actually been at the repair facility in hoboken, nj for the last 6 weeks because i managed to scratch the crystal (yes, it was an actual scratch - not a smudge of dirt or damage to any AR coating). while there it also got a case and bracelet refinish, a partial service (including new battery - not really needed but they do it anyway) and i also had them send me the rubber strap since the bracelet is always too loose or too tight. FedEx has it now and i'll have it tomorrow. i am very interested to see the results. i'm worried it will have a fingerprint on the inside of the crystal or it won't work properly it's been incredibly accurate up to this point and i've never had a problem with any of the functions. and i will also say that Tissot's customer service in NJ has been excellent.

I got a T-Touch (T33.1.388.62) as a gift in June 2006, and the compass function got stuck between 7 and 9 after some months (I discovered it not working in June 2007). Maybe I will try the low temperature remedy and see how that works.
