I just received my new Seastar yesterday. This will be my "beater" diver's watch for the pool, beach, etc. I bought the black dial quartz model on a rubber strap. It retails for only $300, but my AD discounts them quite a bit.
The reason I like Tissot is that they are Swiss Made, like Omegas, and they are actually part of the Swatch Group (Omega's parent company). They offer a great value for the money. The Seastar I bought has a sapphire crystal, a deployant clasp on the leather strap, and 200 meters of water resistance with a screw-down crown. For the money I couldn't say "no".
I have also found that not all quartz watches are created equal, and Tissot's Swiss quartz movements are extremely accurate. My other Tissot quartz gained one second in the last two months. By contrast, I've had cheaper pieces of crap that have gained almost a second a DAY.
