that's a huge price difference ,My dad got the Tudor royal a couple years ago and I have the PRX and he wears my PRX more often for some reason lol. @@2K9s
Agreed on the accuracy of the powermatic 80. I got one of these two weeks ago and have not touched the crown since then, it’s only off by 4 seconds. Absolutely amazing
This watch has taken the internet by storm I haven't seen one yet but I'm getting sucked in green is my favorite colors. Thanks Rob i appreciate your opinion 🙏
It may be partly the camera/lighting, but the dial looks alot darker than in the renders, which means the polished hands mostly disappear at certain angles. Looking black in darker conditions, as you say Rob, is a shame IMO, they should have made it a lighter shade of green to make it pop. Also the effective lug-to-lug of 52mm is too long for a 40mm watch, especially for a watch that sits so flat on the wrist and for those with smaller wrists - a shortcoming of the integrated bracelet design they've used. I guess a smaller version will come along at some point to widen its appeal. Overall a nice reissue design that could have been improved quite easily with a few tweeks.
Rob, can you measure length of your wrist? I mean like length from top to bottom of your wrist (I hope you know what I mean). It can help with better idea of watch presence on viewers wrists.
I need some quick advice… I recently purchased this exact same PRX Powermatic 80 (blue dial). This morning, I picked the watch up out of my watch box and wound it 30 times. However, I forgot to check if it was still running on its 80 hour power reserve cycle. To my surprise, it was indeed still running and on the current date and time. Will my winding it 30 times damage the watch? Please advise thank you. 🙏🏻
The Tissot PRX is really nice. But there are two things, that should guide you away from the auto, and opt for the better Quartz. First. The watch will never get old. It's not something that will go down generations. The movement is non-servicable, ie. if anything is wrong, you need a new movement, you cant even service it with oil. And break it will. The movement in this watch, the Powermatic 80.111 (ETA C07.811), is the lowest possible of the Powermatic 80 series, since it holds plastic parts in the movement. I go with the quartz, as this is a better watch.
I don’t see why this would be jerky. I’m having mine for about five months now and am wearing it so often that it didn’t stand still for a day since then. It’s running at minus 1 second a day consistently, it’s the most accurate automatic I’ve ever owned. I compared the sweep of the second hand with a 28.800 beats movement I own and to be honest, to me the difference is largely lost. Prefer the three days power reserve instead at any time, especially combined with this freakingly high accuracy. From what I read they usually run between +/- 5 seconds a day or so, what’s to complain?
This is why you don't do meetups at ADs. You might just come home with a really good watch.
My wife just got this model one hour ago. A well made and good looking watch.
Did she look at comparable watches like Tudor’s royal for example?

One of the few tastefully done green watches that isn’t too “loud”. Very nice

The green dial looks great almost black in some angles. I have the blue sunray dial in quartz highly recommended.
I bought two … ice blue and dark blue for my son. Love them both.
The black dial quartz is my daily driver. Love the PRX
This watch has taken the internet by storm I haven't seen one yet but I'm getting sucked in green is my favorite colors. Thanks Rob i appreciate your opinion 🙏
Tried this on the other day at the store. Loved the bracelet and how it looks on wrist.
Yeah this is definitely the pick of the lot. Good taste
Ya the green dial is the best. Still waiting for the leather strap option.
Me too on the strap
I would def get the green. Absolutely love my blue chrono.
I got it to. Love the dial and the timeless design. Like we have to go to the disco😉👍🏻
Nice piece that's my favorite hand set
picked mine up today, couldn't be more happier with it
There is a green one here at the mall. Very dynamic dial.
Ordered this green dial last week. Still waiting on it to come in so this is perfect timing. Green dial is the best option imo
Nice watch looks great in Green. Interested in the Panda chrono myself. Keen to see those in person. Thanks for the review.
I got the black. I love the other color dials but I love classic black and whites too
Love my blue waffle, keeping great time too!
Love the window as well. It’s a highlight. Looks great on wrist. Like really good
Really hope to see a rubber strap from Tissot at some point. Would be so nice on this!
Good to hear the chronograph is on the way!! I am eager to see a review, I might scoop that up.
I love everything about my PRX powermatic except for the tiny crown.
Nice watch, I dig it! 👍

Great looking timepiece great review Rob
tissot
please shorten the lug to lug and make it a 38mm
in a Sunray dial.
Wish granted, there's a 35mm !
Just picked up a blue one today.
Would love to have a gmt version of this.
I know that green dials are the trend right now for some reason, but the green dial on this one is amazing! How tf is this watch $650?!
I have this watch... bracelet and desgin is really nice but the face and hands are lacking in my opinion
wish they did one with 36 with auto
Lovely affordable watch.
Powermatic movements better be accurate from the factory, because I've heard they cannot be regulated manually by a watchmaker.
I like it but it looks like that end link design won’t work for my wrist.
You said Lucidos numerous times, you can’t get a discount? 😧
Maybe he did or will get one on a future watch 😉
Questioning its AR job. Is it good enough?

Nope.
@@RandomRobReviews Whew 😰 TY 🙏🏻
Lol...nah ur good bro. Ur paranoid like me.
🌹👌
Segundo 😆
What camera did you use?
iPhone, and great lights
@@RandomRobReviews awesome even when you zoom the transition is so smooth
Virtually everything about this seems great. For some reason I don't find waffle dials appealing.

this is exactly what holds me back from getting this watch.
That's Not the Reason for Not getting it. Ugliness is tge Real reason !
Shame about the jerky lowbeat movement. The homages are highbeat and lower priced.

not AP Royal Oak for sure )))
Of course not. PRX is 1/40th the price.
First 🙄
I might be the only one but I don’t care for this watch at all.
Way too chunky
wish it had a screw down crown and a regular folding clasp, then this would be a perfect watch for me.
