Amazing value for a real Swiss watch. The closest competition could be from microbrand Direnzo: the DRZ04 Mondial. Similar lines with a more radical dial.
It used eccentric screws on the balance that could be adjusted, because it is free sprung balance wheel, which is rare to find around the same price. It is indeed doesn't have an overcoil in its hairspring but it's a silicon hairspring which is long lasting compared to the usual alloy, and once the screws adjusted its isochronism would run in theory the same from the time you bought it until you sold it or give it to your grand child as long as the other components regularly lubricated
@@davidcrandall4958 well turns out it isn't, it used nivachron developed by AP and Swatch Group out of titanium and it is antimagnetic, as I usually put it down at night near my speakers and it doesn't affect the accuracy at all. Been 8 month wearing it, so far averaging in 1.5s/d, best purchase of the year! 😄 But yeah, scratches in this watch making me crazy sometimes in the beginning months.
Have one on order, like yours from the Tissot site, SWATCH is in NJ, as well as I am, but got a shipping text is they're sending it strait from Switzerland, I guess to fill the back orders, should come this week. Oddly when checking my status, say's nothing about being shipped, also some kind of Tissot branded ruck sack (don't remember what they're calling it) which I have no high expectations (the rucksack)
Its a backpack and fits laptop pretty nicely. It's on parr with Swiss army backpack. I'd say it's at least 60 to 80$ value. I haven't tested out yet to really attest to its quality.
This movement is more in house than Tudor as Swatch group fully own the movement manufacturer as you say, Tudor only partly own theirs. I really like these, great looking watches. This and the Sinn 556 to me are two of the best value propositions out there
Honestly, I bought this watch, and I have a very small wrist. I’m not even going to lie about it. But this thing is not as big as people claim. I think some people are actually self-conscious about what other people are going to think. But if you put the watch on, and it doesn’t look like a spaceship on your wrist, you are good to go. I wouldn’t worry about what anybody has to say because it’s gonna be nothing but stupid hating BS. But at the end of the day. To each their own. But people are trying to scare others from purchasing this watch. Go for it!
I’ve preordered from an AD here in the UK. Wondering if we get the same service voucher. As the watch has some proprietary (to swatch group) parts and that would be a long term concern.
From what I've been reading online the movement not serviceable.The way they made to get 80 hrs is cutting weight on movement parts and which uses special oil.Service will cost more than the watch.
I love PRX but quartz Dial looks less busy and better looking (it’s only my opinion) not to mention it’s only 350$ and that’s a steal of a awesome watch that looks on par with Audemars-Piguet Royal Oak
Great gift for father's day! Enjoy it bud! Great looking piece. Tissot did their thing on this one. I hope they make a smaller version, I feel this one will fit to big on the wrist 😞
hi thanks for that great review this is🌹🌹🌹❤️ awesome watch i like it ❤️ my wrist size is 7.1 inch so this watch will be good on my wrist or it will be big thanks 🌹❤️❤️
Lug 2 Lug is not a little bit different, it is VERY different bringing the case L2L of about 45mm all the way out to the actual L2L of 51mm. Huge difference. Because of this, I have not heard of one person who has stated this wears smaller than the size would suggest. I have about a 6.5” wrist and the way this watch wears puts me right at the cusp of what I can pull off, so I could not recommend this for anyone with a smaller wrist. Perfect wrist size for this would be 6.75” and up. Also, I noticed every one of the reviews that were done on this PRX when it was first released were hopeful for some changeable straps because of the quick release system, and here we are over a year later, and I think they have maybe two…both leather. Weird
strap size selection required on the tissot website. Anybody know if there is a reason for this and can links be taken off/on like normal steel bracelet watches?

I really like this design, and I have a feeling that eventually, I will wind up buying one of these.
That’s gold. Wind up buying it. The watch collector phrase ))
Did you end up buying it?
I have the white dial with the gold bezel and it is amazing to look at especially when you get it at the perfect lighting
bought mine a week ago. looks so clean and got a perfect fit too on a 17cm wrist.
I wish this was smaller. I’ve got a big wrist but I like watches of this style to be smaller.
I also wish it were smaller. 38mm would be perfect
Agreed. Either that or thicker bezel. Wempe Iron Walker looks more balanced with it's bigger bezel while also being 40mm
Agree with 38. Even a 36.
@@Beck-Stein I reckon 36 would wear like a 38 due to the small bezel and integrated bracelet making it wear larger.
@@nkonig1 only in the watch world a mm make a difference. Lol.

Your light transition segments is very unique to your channel… fantastic to see!
Definitely a watch to keep an eye on when it settles into greatly market prices. 👍
I had the quartz but I think this one looks nicer and I even like this one more.

The PRX does NOT have a silicon hairspring. (The Tissot gentleman and Ballade do have a silicon hairspring, but this one doesn't).
IT IS NOT A SILICON HAIRSPRING
Jeviar you are not beleivable

Nice looking watch, but wish it was smaller (more in keeping with the elegant style of the watch), and had a nicer movement.
Watch for the 36mm version Tissot hinted at on their social media recently. Rumor has it they will offer additional dial colors.

Love to see a comparison w sarx045. I have the sarx on your recommendation
I can't help but order one which looks just stunning for the price although I have as small as 17 cm wrist.

It’s a lovely homage to the Rolex Oysterquartz at an attractive price. AP comparisons seems misplaced aside from having an integrated bracelet
Well the oysterquartz is a kind of homage to the AP royal Oak
This is a re-release of a Tissot Seastar from the 70s, which was a homage of the Oak at the time.
Peter is correct
It's a Reissue of the late 70s Tissot seastar
Really detailed review. Great.
I would love to see a comparison with the SARX 045. Cheers.
Getting the green dial tomorrow. With 30% off too! Bargain price for a watch like this
Mind sharing where you found the deal?
Nice watch. Reminds me of a Royal Oak. Which I could never afford, so the Tissot is a great alternative.
Kind regards from Australia
Rikki.
WatchChris called this piece "a microbrand killer". I think this is accurate.
What does that mean?
@@VulsHock96 that micro brands will have a hard time offering similar value at that price point…which is very subjective
I got the green one today. Overall good watch
bought mine today and i love it.
Great review..Stunning watch for the money 👍
Congrats on the great Father's Day gift - nice. Will the bracelet fit an 8 1/4 inch wrist?
Got mine, and love it!
Drz04 prevented a PRX itch.

It is a sport watch but it is a elegant watch to, for a men with a suit.
The Gentleman has silicium but this one doesn’t. Is that a disadvantage for the PRX?
A slight disadvantage yeah, but honestly just go with whatever design resonates with you more

@@bnick25352535would they just replace the whole ETA instead of servicing it? How long so you think this mvmt will last before 1st service?
@@bnick25352535 that is a lie
I'm between this and the Maurice Lacroix Aikon
I love PRX but quartz Dial looks less busy and better looking (it’s only my opinion) not to mention it’s only 350$ and that’s a steal of a awesome watch that looks on par with Audemars-Piguet Royal Oak
Or a late 70s Tissot Seastar
Great gift for father's day! Enjoy it bud! Great looking piece. Tissot did their thing on this one. I hope they make a smaller version, I feel this one will fit to big on the wrist 😞
Great review… what’s your opinion of the rose gold PVD coated bezel version… I’m in ‘like’ with the cream dial variance but fears about the PVD bezel.
I could've sworn it was a solid bezel but if PVD, I wouldn't worry about it
@@AverageBros k… thank you
From a SARX 055 owners point of reference, how does the finish compare? Was considering this as a weekend watch.
When do you think this will hit the grey market?
hi
thanks for that great review this is🌹🌹🌹❤️ awesome watch i like it ❤️
my wrist size is 7.1 inch so this watch will be good on my wrist or it will be big

So I’m your opinion would say that a 6.5 inch wrist CAN still pull this off?
Is the bracelet scratch resistant or scratches easily?
This my daily now; rose gold
is it a sports or a dress watch?
Nice gift lucky *uck! (duck!) I have Swatch group stuff that I really cherish. Nice looking Tissot!
Better than an oak because it's not a rip off
Not sure why this watch come with 2 different boxes ?
💯💯💯💯
I have a 17 cm wrist, I'm afraid to buy it, wouldn't it look big?
I've got exactly the same size wrist and felt it was a bit big on me when I tried on the quartz model
51.5 lug to lug ? get the 35 mm version
36mm (wearing like a 38mm) and I’m in
How easy is it to remove links please ?
Is this a push/pull crown??
Yes. Wish it was a screwdown.
should have made it 38 instead of 40...its just too much for most wrists. Even on your "larger" wrist it looks wonky
I can't chose between this and D1 Milano skeleton watch.
The PRX will be a touch more versatile IMHO
Cool 😎
Just bought one and it son it’s way . It’s called a poor man A p royal oak

they should do a quick strap exchange system otherwise there is no reason to buy it
:)
Wrist size
Yes
Jesus that watch wears large.
12:25 lol
Why do you sound just like Alex Smith (former 49ers QB) lol
I'm actually from The Bay so I'm one of the 49er faithful 😂
Usa el reloj en la muñeca derecha? encima se depila? No se si confiar en la reseña.
I dont like the waffle Design. They should have it keep it clean,like the Quartz Prx
I disagree
It looks very nice. Much better than the quartz version
Quartz model is nice,but waffle pattern is much better looking!!
I thought the same until I tried them both on in person. Ended up going with the waffle.
Why Tissot uses in this prx snap back cover ?
In case of service the body of the watch would be scratched. It is much better to use screw back.
