    The only thing that made me choose the automatic version was the dial. I'm not a huge fan of flat sunburst dials, so I went with the Powermatic 80 with the blue waffle dial. It's an amazing watch if you recall that it only costs somewhere around 600-650€. The accuracy is very good too at +2.4 seconds per day in my case.

    I choose the quartz because I already have a ton of automatics, including a non-PRX Powermatic 80 watch, and while I love automatics, I'm running out of winders and patience to keep them wound so I can use them anytime. The quarts looks pretty close to the Powermatic version, is a more accurate homage to the 1970s Tissot Seastar since that was a quarts as well, and to top it off, it's ready to go without any fiddling no matter how long it's been in the drawer.

    They should clean up the dials further. Lose the text. Do you need the seconds hand. No. Lose it. The date complication. Lose it. Who cares. The hour markers are superfluous. Lose them. Who cares what time it is, that’s what your phone is for. Lose the hour and minute hand. Lose the dial altogether as it’s redundant. Now lose the case. It’s now just an annoying jangling bracelet. Lose the bracelet.

    Its not a tough decision at all, the quartz variant is cheaper, more precise, more true to the original and as a bonus it has a better looking dial as the powermatic 80. Waffle just doesnt do it for me. I went to a local boutique to make sure i picked up one that hits the second markers spot on and ive won horology for this year. The only thing i wish theyd make on the quartz is the framed date window.

    If you are not sure which to buy because of the price, stop waiting and go for quartz. The dial is beautiful and tasteful, as is everything else about the watch. Having it on my wrist I would almost say that I like the dark blue sunburst better than any other color variation of the PRX, quartz or automatic. One caveat, mine doesn't hit exactly on the second markers, though it's close. It is hard to notice unless you stare at the end of the second hand, but it's there.

      The waffle is very boring and the colors are toned down to the point where they dont even pop (green looking like black and even blue looking like black in some light situation), so the quartz high polish ones are the way to go, both blue and green are stunning.

    You say that the Quartz Revoloution replaced a lot of automatic watches. My recollection of that time is that manual wind watches were still very much a thing back then. Especially at the lower end of the market. In 1981 went straight from a swiss manual wind to a Japanese quartz watch and was amazed by its accuracy and durability. It wasn't 'technically' more accurate it was demonstrably more accurate than any automatic or manual wind watch I have ever worn.

    In person the textured dial on the automatic version looks better. However there are downfalls to buying and automatic version. Realize the majority of the movement's parts are polymer and cannot be repaired. That means you will spend a premium over the quartz price to have a throwaway watch. The quartz is cheaper and may last longer than the automatic version. I have owned many Tissot watches in the last 25 years. The quality is slipping on their movements. The older automatics were repairable, but at a high cost. As far as the PRX goes, a safe bet would be to stick with the quartz version.

    Trying to argue Quartz Vs Automatic using pure logic is fallacy. Quartz is less expensive, is more accurate, and requires less maintenance than an Automatic. It wins on all the basic requirements of a timepiece. Game, Set, and Match. Plain and simple.
    Alas, Watch Collection is not logical, or else we'd all be wearing Casios.
    I have the the Powermatic 80 PRX after selling my Quartz PRX. I just prefer the looks and like the see through case.
    Of course, the fact that I picked up the Powermatic 80 for 25% off of retail on a cruise ship, and add on top of that that I had $120.00 cruise credit (free money) and my out of pocket was $385.00 (10 dollars lower than the current Quartz MSRP) might have helped make up my mind.

    I have always associated a Swiss watch with being the ultimate in precision engineering so why on the quartz model is the stepped movement of the seconds hand is not even close to being aligned with the dial indices? If I was intent on purchasing this watch then for that reason alone I would choose the automatic version where the sweep movement avoids this annoying issue. Before anyone says “Oh that would be impossible as it’s all to do with mechanical backlash” then why do I have a quartz watch from a Japanese manufacturer which cost a fraction of the price has perfect alignment?

    I wish they also put that textured dial on the quartz because I have too many auto watches now.

    What do you think, the Quartz or Automatic?
    Thank you for the help.

    The blue quartz surprised me how good it looked in person....gave the automatic a run for the money, which is the one I had my heart set on. Then I saw the blue automatic and new I had to have it. A great watch! Looks beutiful and I know I've had a few bad days at work were putting it on has cheered me up!
    Wearing my Citizen Promaster Aqualand Dive watch with green and black bezel today. A tough watch...Great to wear when I don't want to risk the PRX getting scratched up.

    Great video.
    excellent presentation and information on the Tissot PRX quartz and automatic
    I myself have the Tissot PRX 40 205 Quartz Blue Dial alot of watch from history to craftsmanship to quality from this watch and Tissot.
    I own a lot of automatics and one quartz this one
    just put it on the wrist and go.
    Plus the dial on the prx quartz is amazing 😍 brushed blue black grey dial depends on the light angle same with the bracelet 😍 reminds me more of a Rolex Oyster Quartz.
    thank you for the high quality video.

    My choice would be the quartz dial on the automatic.
    Today I have on my Tudor GMT with a new Uncle Seiko jubilee bracelet.

    I'm torn on this...I was going to just get the Quartz...but then they've gone and brought out the auto in that stunning iced blue?
    Now I'm thinking the automatic?

  • @OPP841

    Why quartz minute hand always doesn't align with second hand when hit the 60 seconds? Movement issue? Or user doesn't bother to adjust correctly

    Notice how the seconds hand on the quartz doesn't line up with the seconds/minutes markers as it goes around. That would tick me off.. 🙂

    why didn't you mention that the automatic is Lazer regulated,and the problems that will cause when it needs to be regulated or repaired?

  • @elmarpodiebrad9570

    Hm, I think that I will go for the Quartz version. It will not be daily driver so it should be ready to wear without a hustle
