If anyone remembers my long Europe/Photokina trip report, I mentioned that I bought a watch in Interlaken, and then took it back the next morning for a refund (I couldn't see the hands in low light.) That was a Titanium Tissot. Unbelievably lightweight. Really nice watch. Bad hand and face color! I Bought a really heavy Omega Speedmaster Automatic instead.
