@@mike15. The worst part about the watch is that Tissot intentionally modified the powermatic 80 movement to make it unserviceable. This means that every time you want to service, (every 5 years) you need to send it to tissot where they replace the entire movement for around $300.
Powermatic. Hands down. Neither is a bad choice, but with the Powermatic, you’re grandchildren will be able to pass it down to their children. It’s a tank of a movement

( and thats literally what a watch should do.. show you the time and seconds.. not between the seconds marker wtf) and the bracelet doesnt have any fine adjustment so its either too tight or too loose.. and the lug to lug distance is waay to big.. it wears like a 50mm watch.. like a Panerai .. if you have a small wrist than 7 inch it just looks ridiculous. i have a 6,5inch wrist and had to redurn the PRX automatic exactly because of these 3 points
I wish I liked it but I just don't. They styling is just to much for me. I do think for the price its value for money but would go a different model or be looking at the seiko range in the same price point
Hey guys I have a question since you guys aldredy own this. Is 35 mm ok or you think I should get the 42 mm Chronograph or the 40mm variants? I like the watches a big big but do you guys think it’ll be a bit too big?
@@ashwells1059Rose Gold is very much in fashion and for me that’s for a couple of reasons. It’s a gateway to the world of gold but just more low key (not everyone wants too much attention) reaching out to a larger audience, it’s probably cheaper to produce and therefore sell and it’s maybe more versatile. I’ve no gold watches but I don’t want one cause it’s just not me and it’s not versatile and it’s too much attention for my liking. I’d happily have a Rootbeer Rolex before I had a full gold model. I’m a fan and not an expert though but I have heard gold trends have reduced unless it’s white gold or platinum.

Been looking at one with the green dial for a while. Only started collecting watches, just what I like tbh, and 300 is a lot of money, but I think you just tipped me over the edge 👍🏻
I have the lesser version called the PR100 Titanium was an 18th birthday present from my grandparents, so simple i love it also I have zero knowledge on watches just loved the simplistic design.

Literally the first person I heard call the automatic PRX an”automatic” I have no idea why but everyone is calling it “mechanical” which it is but it’s not. Mechanical movements and automatic movements are different and it pisses me off when people call it the mechanical prx
I fell in love with the ice blue 35mm PRX at first sight. I thought abt buying it online as a birthday present to myself as there are no Tissot dealers where I live.

Same story, but I actually got 35mm Ice blue. I was a little disappointed at first, but it is definately comfortable on the wrist to wear every day. I still think it has the best bracelet in its price range
Now we are talking. Value for money , bang for buck good looking watches as per pro traders. Finally, quality content from the traders. Your viewers are mostly in thos price range. THANK YOU!
I have the automatic one and price is insane for quality I was thinking of longines but the price in Europe is expensive for me I bought the prx automatic and been using it everyday
Great watch, the clasp system however can make for a less than ideal everyday watch. Finding a good sizing is difficult due to the lack of micro adjustment somedays I find my watches with butterfly clasps to tight to be comfortably worn,but adding a link would leave the watch to loose. I find no one ever mentions this when talking about watches like the prx, but it's definitely something that's helpful to know before spending hundreds on a watch.
Problem is the fit when your hands well eoth the weather change its tight link. But the biggest issue I've seen is they easily scratch appart from that it's great value especially for a royal oak look. I love those watch
Saw the prx blue dial whilst walking past a store and it caught my eye. Ended up on the way back buying one, it was £295 if I remember but absolutely love it on the wrist.
@@louisduffle1535 it’s a great watch I prefer in my opinion the seastar 1000 rather than the 2000 just my opinion the Sunburst blue dial is incredibly beautiful. Also a very accurate watch the bracelet is not the best in the business but for the price point it’s acceptable.
@@larryfishkind5387 thanks for the info brother I appreciate it. Hahah nice one! It’s very uncommon to haggle on store prices here but I’ll definitely try. Even the reaction I’ll get will be worth it 😆
I can’t decide between quartz and automatic… quartz seems logical, cheaper, more accurate, I don’t often wear the same watches 3 days in a row so I don’t like having to adjust the time each day I use an automatic watch yet all collectors seem to prefer automatic… but then again you don’t buy a Tissot with the view that it is an investment …. It’s more about fitting your need now….
excuse me sir,but This PRX is a direct Reissue of the 1978/79 Tissot SeaStar! The original was quartz 35 mm and the powermatic mvt is expensive to maintain or repair. It has to be sent back to Tissot for repair or replacement!e
I own 2 tissot watches...the Ballade & courtier Both with leather straps..the prx in quartz or auto is most likely the next tissot to find its way into my watch box ..but I want the 18k rose bezel 2 tone ..and a seastar in 36 mm. The seastar was the original name for the prx.
You never hear a bad word said about this watch

i have this one in automatic light blue 41mm. fantastic looking, comfortable, lightweight and fits perfectly, superb watch for the money.
I got the PRX Powermatic 80 and love it. I only wish it had a 42mm option
I don’t know whether to get the quatz now or save for the powermatic 80
Powermatic. Hands down. Neither is a bad choice, but with the Powermatic, you’re grandchildren will be able to pass it down to their children. It’s a tank of a movement
The escapement (pallet fork and escape wheel) is made of some kind of “plastic”.
Something to consider 🤔
They've had such a storied History!
i wouldn't say that it looks soo close to an AP, but it's definitely one beautiful looking classic 1970s integrated strap design
I told my loved ones if I ever buy a PRX they need to sit me down for an reevaluation of my life and my values

Interesting, thanks for sharing that feedback on the PRX
Sadly it's too small for me, even the 40mm version. I usually don't wear watches below 42mm
Its 40mm but wear like a 42mm. You should try it out if you haven't.
It wears big due to the lug width, feels like a 44 to me
The watch in the video is the 40 mm one?
The PRX is a lot of watch for the money… but to claim “It’s so close to an A.P.” might be a bit much.
I wish I liked it but I just don't. They styling is just to much for me. I do think for the price its value for money but would go a different model or be looking at the seiko range in the same price point
Tissot Gerrard Butler Prx
35 or 40mm??
Go for the quartz ! The automatic movement CANNOT be fine tuned and is plastic ! .
I like everything about it apart from the name 'prx'
powermatic 80....... I wish the prx was automatic
You can get an automatic version
@@Watchtrader problem solved
Do they come in 40mm?
Yes
Thank you, I need one of these. Automatic though, not quartz.
I got this watch 70 hours new worn a few times and stopped moving after 2 years. Won’t be buying this brand again.
Its a shame the movement is junk
S'Watch init...
Nah I like Rado
no
I love the 35mm version. It is small but has such a vintage presence I’m gonna have to pick one up at some point.
I have the 35mm green version it looks so cool so comfy I wear it everyday
Same the 35mm is a good size if you don't have large wrists and is just so classic. Deffs a staple regardless of budget.
i have the 35mm ice blue version and it became my favorite to wear.

@@FREEZEDAKSH depends entirely on your wrist size.
Glad you’re mentioning more affordable brands too, there’s a lot of great looking watches out there not named Rolex people!
Hmm I'd say there's the odd one. Not many. One in a blue moon. This watch embodies the best of them.
@@nomasklargecal5726 Are you serious? Rolex is a tool watch. There are many brands with better looking watches.
Yep, lots of “good looking” cheap, shitter watches.
Absolutely!
@JB-hq5jz ok buddy. You probably cannot even afford a Rolex. Calm down.
Don't forget they make a 2 tone with a solid 18k gold bezel for a first gold watch. It's like sub 2k and an automatic.
Why is it rose gold tho

So many fsntastic watches for under £1,000.
Theyre all great brands. I have 3 watches in my collection, a Seiko, a Tissot, and a Hamilton. Seriously good quality
Tissot built an instantly iconic piece in the PRX 👌🏼
Nah
it’s litteraly a copy and paste of an already iconic watch 😂
You think it is but it's actually a copy of a watch they made in the '70s. Tissot has been around for a little bit😂
Everyone thinks it's close to the oysterquartz. I've always thought it's closer to the Vacheron Constantin 222.
exactley. well said 👏🏾
Think this watching is going to be my first purchase as I learn more about watches in general
I have the PRX chrono blue 42mm,very comfortable.
I got the automatic with the green dial and it's solid I especially love how it looks black until the light hits it just right
I put my buddy on that watch. Beautiful.
I want the automatic one
Next goal watch for me
I want to gift it myself at the end of the year to celebrate my success in photography
I have both quartz in blue dial and powermaticc in glaciar blue ...n love it ...use it more than omega ocean master ❤❤
Have to agree, a lot of watch for the money!!
😂
To me, it's got a Vacheron Constantin Overseas look which is my favorite watch.
😂
Been looking at one with the green dial for a while. Only started collecting watches, just what I like tbh, and 300 is a lot of money, but I think you just tipped me over the edge 👍🏻
Good luck with your collection journey
Green is becoming very popular nowadays
Got the PRX Powermatic 80 with the black dial and I absolutely am in love with it, if the price was 3k it would still be worth it imo
Agree - its crazy what they did here
I have several Tissot and they are great and I am just waiting for a sale and pick up a PRX.
Good luck 🤞

“Sits fantastic”… just like his vocabulary
The Prx chronograph isa. Beauty
Casio edifice EFR is another good starter watch, its also half the price
Edifice are underrated as hell, i love em
Rather use a Royal Oak automatix high quality replica for 1/4 of the price

Just can't like it, feels like everyone hypes it up too much and it's become a bandwagon statement piece. Nothing special. At all.
I have the tissot t035 courtier day date, love it with the orange stitching leather band and orange accents around the times
I guess I’ll get one. I’m not a fan of the look but I keep hearing so many good things about them and seems like everyone has one.

This watch it’s like Rolex oysterquartz the 70’s
