The Tissot Supersport Chrono is a large, 45.5 mm quartz chronograph family, not one single configuration. This review focuses on reference T1256171104100, the blue-dial stainless-steel-bracelet model listed by Tissot in the US at $575. Its sapphire crystal, 10-bar water-resistance rating and several chronograph functions make it a capable-looking everyday sports watch on paper; whether its size and price suit you depends on your wrist and priorities. The assessment below is based on Tissot’s published specifications, not hands-on wear or independent testing.

The cited bracelet model measures 45.5 mm in diameter and 11.92 mm thick, with a listed weight of 188 g. Those figures make it a substantial watch, not a compact chronograph. Case diameter alone cannot predict how it will sit on an individual wrist, and the bracelet’s listed mass is not a substitute for trying it on.
#1 Best Overall
- Case Size: 45.50 mm, Band Width: 22 mm, Case Thickness: 11.92 mm
- Swiss quartz movement, 316L stainless steel case with black PVD coating, Index dial type, Date
- Textile strap/bracelet, interchangeable quick release bracelet, standard buckle closure
- Water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft): suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering, but no diving or snorkeling.
- 2 Year International Warranty
Tissot lists a 22 mm lug width for cited strap variants. If you are considering a replacement strap, confirm compatibility with the exact reference and its attachment system before buying; the collection’s interchangeable quick-release options do not establish that every 22 mm strap will fit every version.
Quartz or automatic—and what does the chronograph do?
The cited Supersport Chrono references use Tissot’s Swiss quartz PowerDrive chronograph, not an automatic movement. Tissot specifies a date, an end-of-life battery indicator (EOL), a central 60-second chronograph hand, and 30-minute and 1/10-second counters. The listed ADD and SPLIT functions support different ways of recording elapsed intervals. These are manufacturer specifications; they do not establish independently measured timing accuracy.

Case, crystal and water resistance
For T1256171104100, Tissot specifies a 316L stainless-steel case, sapphire crystal and an aluminum bezel ring. The listed water-resistance rating is 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft). That is the manufacturer’s rating, not an independent test or a guarantee for a watch that has aged, been damaged or had its seals disturbed.
A 100 m rating may make swimming seem straightforward, but the listing alone does not spell out every activity or care condition. Check Tissot’s current guidance for the exact reference and ensure the watch is in suitable condition before exposing it to water; do not treat the rating as evidence that a particular unit has been pressure-tested recently.

- Water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft): suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering, but no diving or snorkeling.

How the cited variants differ
The following official listings show why it is important to compare reference numbers rather than assume every Supersport Chrono has the bracelet model’s weight, finish or price. The prices shown are market-specific listing observations, not a guaranteed current range.
| Reference and listing | Configuration | Listed weight | Other listed details | Price in cited listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1256171104100 — US | Blue dial; stainless-steel bracelet; 316L steel case | 188 g | 45.5 mm diameter; 11.92 mm thick; sapphire crystal; 10 bar | $575 US; two-year warranty |
| T1256171705103 — US | Black dial with blue counters; blue fabric strap | 120 g | 45.5 mm diameter; 11.92 mm thick; 22 mm lug width; sapphire crystal; 10 bar | $515 US |
| T1256173605101 — EU | Black dial; brown leather strap; PVD-coated 316L steel case | 104 g | 22 mm lug width; sapphire crystal; PowerDrive chronograph; 10 bar | Not stated on the cited EU listing |
The table reflects details in Tissot’s US listing for T1256171705103 and EU listing for T1256173605101, alongside the main US listing for T1256171104100. Tissot also lists other US Supersport Chrono variants at $550 and $625, and a different UK reference at £430. Because those observations concern other references and markets, they should not be read as the price range for one identical watch.

Is the Tissot Supersport Chrono worth it?
The $575 US listing for T1256171104100 buys a clearly specified package: a Swiss quartz chronograph, sapphire crystal, stainless-steel construction, 10-bar rating and bracelet. It may be a reasonable candidate if those are the features you want and you are comfortable with a 45.5 mm, 188 g bracelet watch. The cited specifications cannot establish comfort, real-world accuracy, long-term durability or value against other watches; those require evidence beyond the manufacturer’s product page.
