I bought a PRC 100 a month ago and it's losing 2 min a week. It's a quartz watch. I went back to the store and they replaced the battery. It didn't help. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Dear Markbud!
check the specification, if it indicated what TIssot "promised" as a accuracy range.
for example: -15 +20 or whatever...
If it is out of range, than you may bring the product back for replacement. If it is in the range...then you are not happy..what I understand..
My PR50 quartz is 1 sec/ 1.5 months... my automatic is 3s/day...
So Im affraid the 2min/week is not the top of tops...
Good luck

I have problem too with my Tissot (PRC200). About 3 months ago it was running slow (after 6 years, so I replaced the battery at my localstore). It lost about 15 minuts in 2 days time.
The problem was fixed for about 2 months, but now it's losing about 20 minutes in 24 hour time! The shop said that my watch needs a replacement. Is this normal for a quartz watch?? It will cost me about 130 euro's!
I don't understand why the problem was fixed for about 2 months and now it's running really slow. It started out of nothing?!?

I have a similar thing with my one Tissot. It was a Christmas present in 2016 and after three to four days we had to take it back as it had stopped. Beaverbrooks took it from me and 'repaired' it then (because I don't really like it) it sat in my watch display case only coming out for rare occasions - and I always had to reset the time - it's a Quartz, why is this a thing? I'd expect this from a £9.99 Limit or Casio etc but to have to keep winding on the date and hour by days and days each time was tiresome. Earlier this year I put in new battery, then left the watch alone (really not a fan of this one) then low and behold after less than five months the battery had gone dead. Maybe a bad battery so last week I replaced it on Saturday ...and already when I checked it yesterday it had lost a number of hours. It seems the longer this horary albatross is in my possession the worse it's going to be unless I send it off for repair. From what I've read this seems to be a very expensive procedure (of course the warranty expired years ago) as the entire movement will probably need to replaced. I'd never have another tissot after this piece of rubbish!

A quartz watch should be about +/-20 seconds per month, not per day. If it's outside of that with a fresh battery, something is wrong.
If the watch is new or within warranty, your warranty/return options need to be exercised, either from the original retailer or Swatch Group.
Outside of warranty, you should visit a proper watchmaker (not just some guy who changes batteries and sizes bracelets). If he's really good, he'll have the equipment to diagnose what's wrong with the movement and repair it - worst case scenario he'll be able to replace the entire movement, which won't be cheap, but not expensive, relatively, if you care about the watch at all.
