The price is really high, but I have to admit that the PRX looks damn good with a gold fluted bezel. I hope they make a steel version or even a PVD coated version for us regular folks!
I immediately wondered how much gold was used in this! At least they could have used blued screws on the movement to dress it up a bit more and set it apart further from the non-gold models.
@@waver619 Here in Europe we have that version also. But if I remember correct it's only available on the Quartz version. Take a look at the European Tissot catalogue.
@@DFlemming I think you've misunderstood his statement. There's currently no steel or PVD coated version of this model available with the fluted bezel. I have checked the European catalog.
Imo they should've used the COSC spec movement for this. Sure the normal powermatic is already accurate but a nylon escapement doesnt cut it in my eyes when you are paying close to 2000 dollars.
I think the price is still great. Under 2k for a royal oak type integrated sports watch from a swiss brand, WITH a fluted gold bezel. Still a steal if you ask me.
@@trololollolololololl the Tudor royal is also about $1500 more expensive . And I don't like Tudor watches with gold because the bracelets are gold capped not solid gold so it's like you have a gold plated watch. Only part that's solid Is the bezel . Id prefer to only have bezel gold and whole bracelet stainless than to have gold capped links .
Tissot is probably testing the waters with this one. The fact that they released just one color variant is telling of that. They saw the success of PRX, had demands of different sizing and they gave us that. From the looks of it they will also do well. Now they want to see if the following of PRX is strong enough to be expanded to different price tiers and their customer base. Let's see if this becomes Tissot's Submariner/Datejust
There have been those who underestimated the brand value, but tissot offers a quality that cannot be underestimated in this watch. I think the price is very good
The price is terrible . Better said the ONLY thing you get is the bezel over the normal version. I would have loved to see an ik grade on the movement and I would have bought it
They REALLY REALLY should have added COSC certification to this model to distinguish it from the others. Very hard to see many people pay slightly more than 3 times the price for a gold bezel and most likely PVD gold coated indicies.
A COSC certification would help justify the price an accurate movement coupled with that bezel would be a solid deal. I think Tissot is testing the waters with this watch and I look fwd to what Tissot is going to come up with in the future
@@eugenevedensky6071 I knew you were going to resort to Jomashop because that's the only gray market dealer that lists it for that price. Jomashop does NOT provide papers for any Tudor purchases. This means you don't get the RFID card with stamped serial number and date of purchase or the 5 year warranty card which means you're forfeiting your warranty with Tudor. This is a huge deal breaker . Not only do you not know the current status of the watch (was it purchased from an AD? was it stolen? was it serviced and re-purposed as "new"? who knows! LOL) but you also miss out on the warranty which allows you to take the watch to any Rolex Service Center or Tudor boutique to have the watch serviced free of charge for any reason whatsoever for 5 years. Even something as minor as getting it calibrated because it's not running to specification is covered under the Tudor warranty. And you know they'll calibrate it correctly unlike Jomashop. The reason knowing the status of the watch is so important is because let's say Jomashop purchased this watch brand new from who knows where. And even though it's "new" in the box let's say it was stolen from AD or maybe even directly from Tudor. That means that serial number is hot. If you ever take the watch for servicing in the future to any Rolex service center or Tudor service boutique and the SN is reported as stolen, they keep the watch and dont give it back. You also can't just buy the watch from jomashop and walk into an AD and have them check the SN. Only Rolex service centers and Tudor boutiques can look up serial numbers. If you're lucky enough to have one near you and you take the watch to "get it checked" at a service center they won't check it for you or "authenticate" it unless you agree to perform a service on it which you'll have to pay. Way too many caveats and drawbacks. I'm speaking from a lot of personal experience with Rolex and Tudor. And yes, I have bough both from ADs and from Jomashop in the past. Also wIth jomashop you get their 2 year warranty and have to go through them for anything. No thanks.
I got the prx automatic blue dial. Took out some links to get a perfect fit. It’s the most beautiful watch I’ve ever put on my wrist. Thanks for your guidance Teddy.
@@jayygee60 well, all parts of the watch are the same as for the 300$ Quartz pieces. So i'd say its still a bad deal for anything above 1k. The gold is worth about 200$ so there ist not that much value added.
Great review, I just bought one. I justified the Extra cost for the gold because I saw 2 Omega watches both the same model one with a stainless bezel one gold. And that was nearly 3k difference in cost. 👍
I could see reaching deeper to buy one if I were a Tissot fan and a gold lover and with rationalization of its being a limited version. I don’t buy watches for nuts and bolts value but to satisfy a more storybook, intangible attraction. If you love it, get it.
I’m starting to get into quality automatic watches for the first time now and I’m highly considering this gold fluted bezel one. Yeah it’s pricey but wow it’s gorgeous and I honestly can’t find something for sub $2k that offers precious metals and looks this good
GREAT VIDEO THANKS. Read all the comments and agreed that the 3x price hike is high.i will however say I’ve JUST bought it and can’t be happier.i was in store and compared it to the blue waffle dial and the two watches AESTHETICALLY,cannot compare at all. This model whilst being more money certainly is gorgeous And I couldn’t be happier now that I’ve pulled the trigger.
Me too, hard to justify the huge price increase, but the watch is beautiful. Gold fluted bezel on a chocolate dial with a glizzering bracelet. Perfect combo
999. that is not a large amount of gold and there are no other improvements, like screwed links or Si hairspring... really it has no place costing this much
@@MrShinobi797 Anyway most people seem to agree it is not a good value, so the gray market / second hand prices will probably reflect that in the future.
Hi Teddy, first congratulations on the engagement. Hope both of you have a happy, prosperous and successful 2022. Second a few requests, Can you manage to do a Ming or something similar? The watches you showed Kevin were awesome and it would be nice see your take on more of them. Also if you can focus a bit more on bracelets and straps of the watches you review, that would be very informative. Looking forward to more videos!
❤❤❤i wore my prx in public yesterday-the coolest thing about this watch( attracted lots of attention )is that it has its own unique beauty !...doesnt look like a homage or a fake watch-i predict that these low prices of the prx line will skyrocket into the wonderful of vanity-and i am a proud owner of the quartz no worries excellance-a watch u can quickly grab and go out without the hassle of setting the time or adjusting-this watch will transform the efficiency of wearing an attractive lightweight thin timepiece !!
I love the look of this version, it just looks so sharp. That said, I think that price is difficult to justify given the small amount of precious metal that has been added. It will be interesting to see how the market responds to this one.
I feel like they stopped a bit too short in the two tone look. For instance, the crown should've been rose gold. Obviously the integrated bracelet design makes this difficult, but it would've been nice if they had some elements of gold in the links.
When is ALL GOLD variant being released. I'd be all over that bad boy. Already have the powermatic version and love & wear it daily. Sold many of my Rolex's because of it. Would 100% buy an 18k all gold on day of release. Love it. Love the channel Teddy, congrats on the engagement.
This watch is truly gorgeous. Perfect? No. Value? No. ........ i think this particular model is a entry level luxury item as nobody will buy it unless they value the gold bezel. Its not for everybody. But you cant get gold for less. This watch with the SI COSC movement at $1495 would have still been a value proposition
@@denisdaly1708 Same goes for the steel on the steel bezel version? The Gold is worth 240 USD, that's a fact. Make the watch 500 USD more expensive and you've got a reasonable price.
I think the price would be worth it if the markers and hands were also 18k gold, and the lumes were much more powerful. But just for a bezel upgrade, no.
Agreed on the hands, markers, bezel and crown being 18kt gold... also having the upgraded Powermatic 80 Silicium movement at that price point. That little amount of Gold adding so much to the MSRP doesn't make sense to me. If they add more 18kt Gold accents and the upgraded movement I will consider one of these. Reminds me of the 70's Seamaster I had with design cues from my Datejust... very interesting retro styling as it is, just too expensive for what you get.
If this had solid gold indexes and hands, was a deep satin or gloss black lacquer dial (similar to how Rolex has on the newer explorer's) and was yellow gold, i'd *consider* it at $1500. But, i'm not sure that bezel is even 10g of gold, and as Teddy mentioned, it doesn't really justify the price. I also think as Teddy mentioned, a bit of work on the movement, chronometer, a bit of perlage here and there if we're really trying to class it up. Edit: Looked up a Rolex day date, the bezel has about 4 grams worth of pure gold, at modern prices that's $240 of gold, let's call it $300 since this is a 40mm watch and we're being generous. Even if you add another 2g of gold for solid gold indexes and hands, i still don't see this anywhere close to $1850 like it is. I think Tissot is smoking a bit of crack with this one.
PRX is such a Babe. The Gold Bassle fits very well. Is the surplus 1200 too much for the little gold? Yes and no. I think just by Material and production it's too much. But by product Management I think it is the plan to keep it more rare and not to become a cheap rolex substitue for the masses, which could harm their immage.
It looks very good and very premium. Hope they are going to release some more models with the same bezel but without gold (with a cheaper price-tag). And also hopefully with the quartz prx version. I know most people like mechanical watches, but I am the sort of guy who doesn't wear his watch all day.
This is one of those watches that for me looks good at first glance, it then I start looking at the specs, wearability and the lume and it’s pretty much a hard pass, especially at that price point.
Those who think the price isn’t right surely have not compared the price difference between steel on steel, gold on steel models from Omega for example. Look at the Constellation: ~2600€ price difference for a few gramms of gold.
The problem with Tissot latest PRX line is that it is trying to be something else: an AP with the waffle dial or an Oyster quartz with this fluted bezel…but the wise buying decision is to go for their original form which is the first PRX with the quartz movement!
Beautiful, but yeah definitely reaching out of it's price point that made it an attractive buy. The style and overall great reputation as a value watch is what brought me. I'd spend 2k on something fancier and more prestigious.
They did the same thing with the Gentleman. They gray market prices came down a ton. I almost bought a gold Gentleman but went with the Ballade which has a PVD bezel for half the price. PVD seems like a really good product. Way better than plate. Unless you are buying a real high end watch I don't think it's worth it. Most people will assume cheap plate anyway.
Flying under the radar is my thing. I‘m not interested in impressing other people anymore. But I must agree with you, Ballade is a beautiful watch! Congratulations!
Just bought an all steel powermatic 89 prx . This just makes it feel like even more of a bargain knowing that basically the same watch I is going for a grand more with just a bit of gold added.
This watch model has another notable change in that the automatic version is using a sunburst (not waffle) dial -- having been reserved for the quartz version until now.
I pray to the watch gods that this watch and the blue dial one is made in the 35mm case as well, If they do I'll buy it so fast Tissot management will think I bought a prototype even though they never made one. Yes that fast PLEASE Tissot.
I like the look of this watch but I'd have preferred a different pitch of the fluting, it's just a little too copy and past from the Datejust. I can't disagree with your views at all, it looks good and the dial really complements the bezel but the 1K premium makes it three times the cost of the PM80 PRX. That's a premium I don't think I'd in any hurry to pay. I'll stick with my blue dial PM80 PRX, elegant, reliable and a good price.
24k gold per ounce is around $1900 today, and 18k gold is around $1400, so a $1200 upcharge makes sense, but for me, it's not worth it. One, at the new price range I could get a better watch, and two, I'm not a fan of the two-tone look.
This watch just grows more and more on me. At first, I was meh, gold for an entry level watch ... now I see it as an attractive option. I do with the markers and hands where gold though. It's a big price jump.
Love my PRX 80. You are correct with the fluted bezel you are just paying for the gold. Also, the bezel is giving Rolex and I don’t want to look like I’m in a poor man’s Rolex.
at 7:50 the price drops to $1350? are we getting a discount LOL there's like $200 worth of gold on that watch and they are charging $1000 over the price of the original. Tissot is just being greedy now
Whilst the Tissot Powermatic 80 movement is pretty solid and fairly accurate at the regular price point - let's remember it shares it's lineage with many from Swatch Group's ETA, such as the Hamilton H10 - the price hike is way too high considering it's just for the thin gold bezel and it remains essentially an entry-level Swiss-made automatic watch.
That is a beautiful timepiece. But why is it so much more costly that the other PRX watches??? I love everything about it, very striking look. Love that bezel, they have a homerun here, just not at that price point.
Price aside, this is a fantastic looking dress watch! A complimentary leather strap option would add more value. Gold logo, indices and dial markings would add a luxury touch of refinement. However as is, for the price is questionable. Cheers!
Personally I don’t like the look of a gold bezel on an all stainless bracelet. I think that even a small amount of gold on the bracelet would complete the two tone look. Also the finishing of the movement at this price point isn’t good. I know, maybe not a dealbreaker to some people but still it would be nice to see. That being said I plan on buying the 35mm PRX when it comes out.
I have the blue dial PRX and I love it! This new variant is really good looking I love the fluted bezel, but the pricing is just crazy. I cant justify paying that much just to get a fluted bezel in gold.
I am a huge fan of this watch. Do they, or a similarly priced brand, make any variation with a black case and bracelet? Don't necessarily need the gold.
I have an 18k rose gold and carbon wedding band and am looking for a watch to match. Love this watch, although the brown doesn't quite match the black on my ring. Any other watches at this price or lower that use genuine 18k rose gold?
The price is really high, but I have to admit that the PRX looks damn good with a gold fluted bezel. I hope they make a steel version or even a PVD coated version for us regular folks!
I immediately wondered how much gold was used in this! At least they could have used blued screws on the movement to dress it up a bit more and set it apart further from the non-gold models.

I think it does look very elegant and the bezel does upgrade the look pretty much but paying 1,2k only for the bezel is too much for me.
Just bought an all steel powermatic 89 prx . This just makes it feel like even more of a bargain knowing that basically the same watch I is going for a grand more with just a bit of gold added.
This watch model has another notable change in that the automatic version is using a sunburst (not waffle) dial -- having been reserved for the quartz version until now.
I pray to the watch gods that this watch and the blue dial one is made in the 35mm case as well, If they do I'll buy it so fast Tissot management will think I bought a prototype even though they never made one. Yes that fast PLEASE Tissot.
They need to make one in 18kt yellow gold rose is more for a female look to me but a 18kt yellow gold I will buy forsure
I like the look of this watch but I'd have preferred a different pitch of the fluting, it's just a little too copy and past from the Datejust. I can't disagree with your views at all, it looks good and the dial really complements the bezel but the 1K premium makes it three times the cost of the PM80 PRX. That's a premium I don't think I'd in any hurry to pay. I'll stick with my blue dial PM80 PRX, elegant, reliable and a good price.
Not a fan of this fluted bezel, nor am I fan of the price increase… I have the PRX with blue dial (automatic version)…Awesome!
This in 38 or 36mm… i would buy it immediatly!!!!
Please Teddy tell Tissot to do that, you have so much influence hehe😎
24k gold per ounce is around $1900 today, and 18k gold is around $1400, so a $1200 upcharge makes sense, but for me, it's not worth it. One, at the new price range I could get a better watch, and two, I'm not a fan of the two-tone look.
This watch just grows more and more on me. At first, I was meh, gold for an entry level watch ... now I see it as an attractive option. I do with the markers and hands where gold though. It's a big price jump.
Yea and certified movement
Love my PRX 80. You are correct with the fluted bezel you are just paying for the gold. Also, the bezel is giving Rolex and I don’t want to look like I’m in a poor man’s Rolex.
Hey Teddy the link in the description goes to a Hamilton Khaki not the PRX! Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks.
echoing this.
I wish they made one with a white gold bezel…….
I’ve been searching the internet all day to get some info about a potential white gold Tissot might put out…..I’ve seen nothing yet 😔
Why are the majority of relatively lower priced gold options done in rose gold? I'd be all over a yellow gold version.
Thanks!! Been waiting on a review for this for a while.
Love the Rolesque fluted bezel & the rose gold hues !!! Spectacular
This is a beautiful watch.
The price is ouch factor.
Tissot is usually great value for the money.
I think the oversuccess of the normal PRX has had them reconsider their price to the upside with this model
Congrats with the proposal, ur awesome man!
$1200 would've been a fair price. Good looking, but needs more. Maybe more gold accents on the bracelet, and an upgraded mvt
Is the bezel solid gold or just capped?
at 7:50 the price drops to $1350? are we getting a discount LOL there's like $200 worth of gold on that watch and they are charging $1000 over the price of the original. Tissot is just being greedy now
I honestly prefer the simple blue dial quarz version of this watch. Least bells and whistles fit it best.
If the dial details were gold that would definitely be on par with price.
That is an expensive bezel. But it's a good looking watch. I think they will still move. Not my $2000 pick. But I would compliment anyone wearing one.
Whilst the Tissot Powermatic 80 movement is pretty solid and fairly accurate at the regular price point - let's remember it shares it's lineage with many from Swatch Group's ETA, such as the Hamilton H10 - the price hike is way too high considering it's just for the thin gold bezel and it remains essentially an entry-level Swiss-made automatic watch.
Horoligicaly Tissot is older, better, and politically much more correct brand than Rolex. I would much rather pay for Tissot than for Rolex.
The blue dial version looks really good.
Wow it does look good in two tone. It really leans into the 80s aesthetic
Definitely purchasing this one Teddy!
Just think this looks absolutely brilliant!! Very handsome piece.
I would have bought this in a heartbeat if it had a two-tone bracelet.
I don't think I could pull off the gold look. I'm looking forward to checking out the 35mm version, assuming the rumours are correct.
There is 35mm version??
Just saw the rumors. But it is not fluted bezel if the rumor is correct.
This watch looks so elegant and luxurious. I like this watch. Thank you for this video. 🤟
That is a beautiful timepiece. But why is it so much more costly that the other PRX watches??? I love everything about it, very striking look. Love that bezel, they have a homerun here, just not at that price point.
That is a huge price hike for a touch of rose gold. Many other watches it needs to compete with at that price point.
I love mine! I got mine at Borsheim's in Omaha for under $1400. I also bought the blue dial powermatic version I liked it so much.
Price aside, this is a fantastic looking dress watch! A complimentary leather strap option would add more value. Gold logo, indices and dial markings would add a luxury touch of refinement. However as is, for the price is questionable. Cheers!
Brown croc style strap would give this the Patek vibes that would make me buy this
Personally I don’t like the look of a gold bezel on an all stainless bracelet. I think that even a small amount of gold on the bracelet would complete the two tone look. Also the finishing of the movement at this price point isn’t good. I know, maybe not a dealbreaker to some people but still it would be nice to see.
That being said I plan on buying the 35mm PRX when it comes out.
Great looking watch. Not sure on the price for me though.
Also, congrats on the engagement!
Wish they did this in the 35mm version
I have the blue dial PRX and I love it! This new variant is really good looking I love the fluted bezel, but the pricing is just crazy. I cant justify paying that much just to get a fluted bezel in gold.
bought the quartz PRX then the Ballade...happy with both but might have just gone with this if I went back in time...
very expensive for a tissot 1200 usd would have been more reasonable price.
It takes from what the watch is trying to be. For example, many will say, money better spent on movement, AR, finishing, bracelet.
Let’s hope the PRX will get a smaller version sometimes in the near future
Ooh I was waiting for a two tone PRX… this does look very nice.
Great Vid, Teddy could you review the blue dial please. I'm trying to decide btw the 2 dial colors. Thanks
It looks really good, but without a movement update i would have to say that it's not worth the money
at this price tag , I think one starts considering the Tudor Royal as a valid option .
Loved it until I heard the price. I agree with the poster who said they'd rather go with a Tudor Royal in that price range.
I am a huge fan of this watch. Do they, or a similarly priced brand, make any variation with a black case and bracelet? Don't necessarily need the gold.
Love the look - not the price! Great, honest review as always Teddy 👊
Beautiful watch that gold looks cherry on the cake
Imo they should have done the crown in gold too
This on a brown leather strap would look so nice!
Need a white metal fluted option.
There is a defect at the end of the minute hand. anyone else see that blemish? 5:16
Yeah idk about this one, if I had just under 2 grand I would just save up a little more and get a entry luxury watch lol
I have an 18k rose gold and carbon wedding band and am looking for a watch to match. Love this watch, although the brown doesn't quite match the black on my ring. Any other watches at this price or lower that use genuine 18k rose gold?
Make this watch a 37-38mm and I'm all in for gold and fluted bezel.
