Seiko and Tissot

Was having lunch earlier with my sister-in-law and her Swiss boyfriend.

The Swiss mistook the Seiko Sumo on my wrist for a Tissot.

Haven’t owned one and dont know much about the brand. Though there are some pieces that have piqued my interest.

So I don’t know if my Japanese Sumo should feel flattered or insulted for being mistaken by a Swiss for a Swiss.

Neither. Both brands make very good watches.

Do some research and see some of the cool designs from Tissot.

Tissot is popular in Switzerland, you'll see it on a lot of locals' wrists. Probably what he's used to seeing

I'd have immediately head butted him and demand he retract his statement.
