A rose gold finish and a pink leather strap are not what most people expect from a connected watch, and that is precisely what makes this T-Touch Connect Solar stand out. Tissot took its most advanced tactile platform and gave it a warm, fashion-forward character without dropping a single function.

The titanium case carries a rose gold-tone PVD coating, and the embossed pink cow leather strap with standard buckle softens the large 47.5mm format. Behind the sapphire, the watch runs on Swiss solar quartz with Bluetooth, linking to iOS, Android and Huawei smartphones for notifications and incoming calls, while the solar dial means you are not tied to a charger. Touch the crystal and you get a compass, altimeter, barometer, pedometer and calorie count, plus a chronograph and perpetual calendar.

It is light for its size at 81 grams, and it makes a distinctive choice for anyone who wants smart features in a watch that looks like jewelry rather than a gadget.
