Amazing video, like always 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏 my man and thank you for coming on the podcast!
A great piece at its price point. I’ve just got hold of the Ice Blue version and very pleased with it.
Very nice 👏 and thank you for watching!
I bought the ice blue dial aswell but i dont get it for at least 12 weeks which i didnt realize until after i purchased it , tissot are selling out immediately and are struggling to keep up.
Love the design language of the PRX. No doubt it's a banger for the money especially on the secondary market. I hope down the road they make a slightly smaller auto variant with these awesome dials. Great job on the video 👊😊.
Thank you for your support my brother!
Comment aged well
@@theyrinthewalls ha ha it's almost like I had a crystal ball 🤣👊
Def a banger and I dig that strap swap bro! I hope someday they can make a version with a 4Hz sweep, I’d be okay with less power reserve tbh. Cheers bro!
My man, thank you for the support! For whatever reason I care more about the power reserve because I hate setting my watch 😂 I highly recommend this watch, hope you can check one out in person!
@@SoCalWatchReviews yeah man, I feel ya! I would love to get one on the wrist someday. 😎👍
Great video bro I agree with you 100% about this watch! Thanks for the shout out!
Thank you 🙏 for being part of this video!
I have the blue. Really like it but I think I might try one of the straps to change up the look. Thanks Miguel.
Thanks for the support my friend and you should definitely try the straps! Take care my brother!
Just got one as a retirement gift. Dark blue dial. Love it. First nice watch, and probably only one I’ll get.
Very nice, congrats 👏
I’ve been getting back into watches after taking a few year break . I told myself this time around I wouldn’t go crazy on the luxury watches . I’m debating a Tissot . I never bought one before. I’m debating either this one of these or a prx . The only downside is I wish they had a 38 mm option .
This would be a great way to jump back into the hobby! Thank you 🙏 for watching!
Just bought 2 last week. Auto and Quartz. Great review as always
Congrats and thank you for the support.
Another great video 👍 The PRX looks good on your wrist. Unfortunately that 52mm lug-to-lug measurement ruled it out for me when I tried one.
Thank you 🙏 and I hope Tissot makes this in a smaller version!
I think this will be the watch to start my collection! Since I don’t have any other watches what color would you recommend that would go with everything?
Very nice watch to start a collection. Honestly go with the blue dial 💙
@@SoCalWatchReviews I like it. Do you have any other watch suggestions under 1k? I kinda want a sportier watch as well. Having difficulty finding something simple yet sporty
@@Rezik. www.christopherward.com/int/sports-watches/C63-Sealander-Automatic-Limited-Edition/C63-36ADA3-S00B1-B0.html
Thanks for the review! I agree a smaller version would be a game changer!
Thank you 🙏 for the support!
Have it, love it
👍🏼 thank you for watching!
Another great video, my friend. Tissot PRX is an incredible watch for the money!
Thank you 🙏 for the support and I agree!
Just came across your channel, keep up the good work from a fellow Socal watch enthusiasts.
Thank you 🙏 my man!
Great review Miguel! Un abrazo 🙌🏻
Igualmente hermano 👍🏼
Green dail picking it up tomorrow
👏
Great review, thank you for sharing 🙂👍.
I like the green. Oh the black. Very nice.
Thank you 🙏 for the support!
The bracelet is the biggest plus as well as weak point of the watch. It is finished well for the price and designed beautifully. Like you said it does pick up scratches easily, and the butterfly clasp is nice for the seamlessl look of the watch but is not the most practical in reality. The push buttons gets caught in the cuffs and opens the clasp easily at times, the folding part of clasp is curved slightly too much and when you wrist swells up, the ends can dig into your wrist which makes it uncomfortable especially if you have large wrist. As much as I love the watch, I have barely worn my PRX because of these reasons and I had the same issue with my Tissot Gentleman bracelet clasp. Waiting to get the new rubber straps when it becomes available and hoping it would make me wear the PRX more again.
The lume is always a let down in entry level swiss watches.
Agree with all your points there and thank you 🙏 for the support!
I have NEVER experienced the clasp opening. Seems yours might be faulty
Also never experienced it digging in
When releasing 37-38mm variant
I hope soon!
Great review. Love the green
Thank you 🙏 brother and I do as well!
Nice watch! It's for sure sought after in this price range. I missed seeing your faces in the podcasts. 😁
Thank you 🙏 for the support Eve and we need to have you back on the pod!
Fantastic shots in this review! I love the PRX, but the 40mm is too big and the 35mm is too small for my wrist. I really hope Tissot releases a 38mm version sometime, that might just be the sweet spot for many people.
Thank you for the support and I agree!

Great video!
Just picked this one up, very disappointed in the dial color. It looks black unless it’s in direct sunlight.
Thank you and congrats 👍🏼
This Tissot is 🔥 🔥
Agree 100% and thank you 🙏 for the support!
Great vid as always Mig, my choice would be the Tissot men’s gentlemen, in fact im debating between it and C63 Sealander for my first entry level luxury piece. Advantage of the gentlemen over this is the bracelet imo, easier to swap out as it isn’t integrated and you also get the Powermatic 80 movement in it as well, she’s a stunner too, ugh what to do lol. Mind you according to Amazon spec list the band is 21mm booo
Thank you 🙏 for the support and between a Tissot and a CW, I would lean more towards a CW 👍🏼
@@SoCalWatchReviews yeah I’ve got my eye on either C63 Sealander or C60 Trident both white dial on stainless steel. Im getting the C60 (not sure what colour) to review very soon sent by CW. The CW is def my first choice, as the Tissot is more of a dressy piece while the C63 is def dressy but also sporty too, a gada type watch. I’ve had the C63 in hand and now that I’ll have the C60 I will be able to make my decision 👍
@@MirrlyonTime Since you’re in contact with CW they may also be able to give you a nice discount 👍🏼
I've always like it. But I just can't get past the lug to lug. I'm waiting for an automatic 35mm
I’m waiting for that one as well 👍🏼
Better than seiko srp, love it❤
You want a 35mm dial smaller than a 40mm. I bought this watch today and I am exchanging it for a Tissot 43mm dial. The 40 looks small on my wrist. I am coming from a 44mm dial PANERAI.
@@dapperlygrungy3189 I actually tried the smaller PRX when it came out (after this video) and I did not like it! I actually think this PRX was just right for me.
Killer shots!
Thank you 🙏 brother, I hope you been well!
I wonder if anyone feels like I do. The 40 mm is to big the 35 is a little too small. And don’t get me started on the chrono it’s a behemoth😢. I still bought the quartz 35 mm in blue. My wife loves and wears it ….But I want one for me. Come on Tissot get it perfect…You listening?😅
I feel you, they need an in between size. Thank you 🙏 for the support!
Tissot has now released a rubber strap for this !
They don’t sell the strap by itself, you need to buy the watch as well 😞
@@SoCalWatchReviews that was the case when they released the leather strap version but eventually the strap was available to be purchase separately 😊
@@kevinrichard5107 I can’t wait!!!
There are 2 things that keep me away from getting this. And they're mostly related to the date window. 1st, is that for dark background dials (green, black, blue, etc.) they kept it white. I wish it had a dark background. Also, I find the date window to be too much to the left, which is a sign of a smaller movement. The latter is a bit alleviated on the Chronograph model. But I'll keep my eye on this, I'm pretty sure Tissot (considering the success) will keep iterating at this model with new colours and possibly dial textures as well.
Wow you are pickier than me 😂 I highly recommend you try one out, maybe you’ll change your mind..
@@SoCalWatchReviews Hahaha I did. It was awesome, but these 2 things swayed me away from making the purchase. The newer ice blue dial though... that one might end up on the wrist.
the leaked 35mm model fixed the date window location.
@darrylneiltanyag2487 which is better 35mm or 40mm? In terms of which looks better on the average sized wrist?
I think I will get the quartz version in green. I am between this watch and a seiko king turtle. 😢
I recommend you get this, more versatile! Thank you for watching!
they need to give us a 37, 38mm option
I heard in this watch the movement is made of a lot of plastic parts is that true? I heard this from a watch repair shop and a guy on TH-cam. The watch guy was telling me not to buy a pry because the movement gives trouble and he had to repair some for his customers. Or are they talk about the quartz version of prx? I don’t understand please help me understand i really want to buddy the watch but don’t want a movement made of plastic .
I believe they’re talking about the quartz version. This is a fantastic watch for the money! And if you get tired of it you can resell it 👍🏼
@@SoCalWatchReviews thank you ! Thank you! Don’t care about Quartz that much . :)
The powermatic movement is free sprung and Lazer regulated so it has to be sent to Tissot for repair or maintenance which is very expensive and a very long wait! Be Aware of this before you buy this movement!
Very good point, thanks for letting us know 👍🏼
WOSTEP and OWME watchmaker here. So.. It's free sprung so it's more susceptible to shock, and also any balance wheel produced ALWAYS regulated by laser underneath the rim to make sure the poising of the balance wheel is near perfect, and it have eccentric weight screws on the balance to adjust the rate just like gyromax on Patek and AP. So it would be stupid if any watchmaker in the world would have a hard time with the adjustment for this watch as it is as simple as it gets. And you don't need to send it to service center just to get it serviced as it's just works like common 2824 out there, the only difference is the escapement and the mainspring that carries higher torque to power its whole 80 hours runtime.
The true original was mechanical from 1974. There's a great video of one being restored on YT
👍🏼
On the Tissot website when you try to buy this watch it asks you to pick which size bracelet to pick. My wrist is between 6 1/2 and 7. Which size bracelet should I choose??🤔
That’s tough, I personally would just size it myself. Thank you for the support!
There is nothing objectively “wrong” with the Powermatic 80. I think the people complaining about it simply have no hands on experience with it. Same people complaining about the “clunky” sweep would never consider a GS, proving their fickleness.
Agree with you there and thank you for your support!
The clunky lowbeat movement is a deal-breaker. Hard pass at this price. There are many gorgeous, less expensive watches with smoother highbeat movements on the market.
I care more about power reserve so the smoother seconds hand doesn’t really bother me much. Thank you for watching!
I agree Yankee. The Powermatic Automatic movement is the weak point!
The powermatic also must be sent back to Tissot to be maintained or repaired which is expensive and time consuming!
😂 what a hater Tissot have finally done a decent job and ur still complaining. Go buy a patek You cheap scate
Can you list some alternatives within the same price range?
Es un gran reloj pero tendría que tener el logo aplicado, salu2 👍
👍🏼
👌
Thank you 🙏 for the support!
This watch just looks cheap imo
Once you hold one in hand it’s a different experience. Also keep in mind that these watches can be had in the high $400 to mid $500 range preowned, one hell of a value. Thank you for watching 👍🏼
