Gentleman if it’s your only watch, PRX if it’s part of a collection. The Gentleman is more versatile but the PRX is more unique and exciting. Both are great for the price!
Why is Tissot Tradition Open Heart never talked about anywhere ? Is there anything wrong with it ? I'm confused which one to buy between Le Locle and Tradition Open Heart - both black dial and bracelets. If by tomorrow I'm still undecided, I will go with Seiko Alpinist :D
Well I've had the PRX 80 Powermatic with the blue waffle dial for about 2 weeks now. It's a really cool, beautiful watch: I like its style! The Gentleman looks great, perhaps just a little too conservative and almost a bit boring for my taste. I find myself admiring the little details on the PRX. One thing you didn't mention, though you can see it on the video, is that even though the PRX does not have micro adjustment, it does have two half links that can help get a good fit. I had to use one on mine. Worth mentioning......
I was JUST telling the wife he should start selling wallets, high end pocket knives, etc. He would be a perfect one stop shop for the guys! And if he mirrored that on the ladies side with purses/bags, total world domination! Lol
Just wanted to say that your videos covering the Tissot Genteleman Powermatic 80 Silicium finally got me to purchase one and it's my first significant watch purchase. Thank you so much. I really enjoy your videos, even those that cover watches that I can't afford (yet). Cheers!
I couldn't decide which one to buy so I bought both. I absolutely love the fit, finish and dials on both watches. I went for the blue waffle PRX 80 and the Classic green on the Gentlemen 80. Thanks Teddy for the comparison.
I bought the PRX over a month ago and it can't leave my wrist. I tried to wear another watch today but I went back to my PRX immediately. Incredible watch and value!
After a year and a half of considering, last week I bought myself a Gentleman Powermatic 80 with blue dial. This is a fantastic, very accurate watch!!! Your review helped me to decide which one to buy. Thank you Teddy! I hope you make a test video of the Zeppelin watches someday. My family has four Zeppelin watches and we love them too!
Hello Teddy, I am always surprised of your ability to read customer minds, explaining exactly what we want to know about a watch, without being snobish. Keep doing this great job man!
Even though the PRX has no silicon hairspring, it features the new Nivachron hairspring which is made from an Titanium alloy and offers very good magnetic resistance. The PRX has the same regulating system as the Gentleman and can be regulated to pretty much the same accuracy as the gentlemen (my PRX runs at stable +3 seconds per day). Also, what should have been mentioned here is that both bracelets have “half links”.
After trying both watches in-store today, it was hands-down no competition that the Gentleman felt like the better watch. It feels better constructed, the dial looks much crisper and better finished. And it fits my 7 inch wrist without any overhang. I even prefer the bracelet as it feels more classic and less fad-driven. The silicone balance spring sealed the deal. I bought the Gentleman and I'm glad I didn't just buy a PRX without trying both first.
The tissot gentleman has a ridiculous amount of "Pull" to it .. such a charming watch .. been looking at it for a good quarter of the year .. tried it on first time didn't like it .. the more I tried it the more I liked it .. finally with black friday sale I pulled the trigger on the silver white dial one .. looks beautifully understated classic design love it !
Got my first Tissot the other week. My wife bought me the Tissot Ballade for just under $400. Chronometer certified with the powermatic 80 movement and silicum hairspring. Can’t beat it for the money. Great gentleman alternative.
Bought the gentleman from Teddy 2 years ago and wear it every day. I’m not a bracelet guy so I have many straps I change out on this watch. My favorite is the navy colored Rado NATO strap you can buy at Teddy’s shop.
I have the gentleman, very happy with it wore it in the ocean it was good to go. Wore it in a suit looked good. Mines all scratched up now, adds character. Very happy with the watch my first “real” one. +5 seconds a day
Bought the Gentleman with the leather strap recently and love it. The dial is beautiful and changes under different lighting. Love the strap. Lot of watch for the price point for sure. Keep up the great content Teddy.
Both pieces are amazing to have. Been enjoying my prx powermatic 80 for over a year now. It really wears bigger than the suggested size in my 6.75 inch wrist size with the bracelet. I purchased the blue leather strap for 2 reasons, I want to keep the steel bracelet scratch free and secondly I want to reduce the larger look of the integrated steel bracelet. With the 35mm variant now available as an option, I’m highly considering getting one. Tried it and it wears and looks perfect on my wrist size. Gentleman looks awesome too to be honest and itching to have it in my collection as well. Thanks for sharing this comparison video. We appreciate all the things you do so we can be informed.
I have both the PRX Quartz and Auto in blue, love them both! I am also a Holy Trinity member and own an AP Royal oak 15400. And as a AP fan I’m loving this PRX to death! That’s why you buy it to get that Nautilus/Royal Oak look and feel without the price or worry! The gentleman is a very nice watch but there is nothing that special for me to drop money on it! The fact that the integrated sports steel bracelet watches are impossible to get now, the PRX definitely has come in the perfect time!
First things first, you are doing an incredible job. I enjoy your videos so much! Such a source of knowledge and respect for all the different price points and tastes. So convincing and your language never fails. Could listen for hours. Concerning the two watches, I think the PRX is the winner for my personal taste. I bought it with a black dial; it's an excellent reference to the Rolex Oyster Quartz. It looks so good in real life. Super shiny but never tacky. I guess Tissot did this series to get more attention. I live in Germany, and Tissot always seems like that watch you get from your family for graduation. The Gentleman, to me, is such a kind of watch.
I prefer the PRX... it's just amazing in person. For a do it all I like the Longines conquest in 39. Although for the price the Gentleman is a great piece. Might go check out the green variant.
As a gift, I bought the boys the Gentleman. The retro 70s styling is cool but is a matter of taste. The Gentleman has classic style like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, Longines Conquest, ect ...
Your watch videos are best in the world but honestly you could fill up an entire channel on how you make these videos and public speaking and everything. Just top shelf
Teddy, fully agree with your judgement. I bought the PRX because I love the 70ies look , still love my Visodate with the 50/60ies charme with PVD gold and leather strap/clasp ... For entry into watches Seiko and Tissot are the best brands.... but also for people who simply cannot spend the money for Omegas, JLCs, etc. ... both brands have great pilot and dive watches as well - plus pure dress watches / Greetings from Germany
Had the pleasure to see these two in person, and from my point of view and personal opinion, for you to get your money's worth, I would say the gentleman at the 700 dollar price point is worth it to me the prx is nice but has a cheaper feel to it and I had higher hopes for the prx and underestimated the gentleman. I have a 7 inch wrist, so both look good but gentleman is the one. Another factor to consider is that the gentleman is exactly the same as a Bulova watch I currently own the only difference is the color of the face, so it's definitely something for me to think before purchase. Great review!
Bought the gentleman yestarday, before watching this video. Main idea was to get a more accurate watch than my old orient. So I'm happy to hear that my pick was a good one.
I have a Tissot Seastar with the Powermatic 80 Silicum movement. It is superbly accurate. I keep it on a winder and its always ready to go. It is also 300 M water resistant and has great lume. It's a great watch!
I really love my PRX in office environment. Great watching for the money! And the blue looks great, in sunlight a shine blue in the afternoon sometimes more or less black. God Video, thank you!
These are two great watches, with amazing dials, and movements for the money. I don't love their bracelets though. Obviously, still really good for the money. That said I think the Tissot T-Sport Gent-Xl Swissmatic has fallen under the radar. It is a great everyday watch that is only about $500. It has a fairly plain, but cool dial, with a design inspired by a race car's speedometer. The case polishing, bracelet and clasp are amazing though. Every time I wear that watch I am amazed at how great they are, especially when compared to other much more expensive watches in my collection. Off topic, but I am picking up a Baume and Mercier Riviera today. Super excited!
Excellent comparison, Teddy. Have had my Gentleman (this very model) for about a year and a half now and love it. Wear it 1st or 2nd most of the 7 watches in my collection. I do dig the PRX, but not the waffle dial-definitely prefer the look of the Quartz PRX. Still, though, with my Gentleman in the collection and too many other watches on my wish list, don’t see a PRX in my future.
I got the PRX first and then bought the Gentleman as well. I usually wear way more expensive watches but these are just so nice to wear and punch way above their price range.
A great video Teddy! Two of my current favourite dare I say it 'value' Swiss watches currently in production. A very good compare and contrast view of these two in my opinion from the underrated Tissot brand. I do have the PRX PM80 in blue dial form and for the price it is a bargain. It's slim and on my 7" wrist works perfectly with a case /bracelet finish that others at this price should take note. The PRX more expensive sister (or brother) the Gentleman is also a well executed watch with the Si balance spring being more anti magnetic as you say and may justify the difference in price. I also have the older PR100 that I guess was the model to be replaced by the Gentleman that I'm more than happy with. My PRX and PR100 in daily use are single digit second accuracy each day. I do prefer the date at the 6 on my PR100 compared to both but the PRX gets away with it at 3 a tad better probably because of the modern retro 70's design and pressed waffle dial.
Very pleased with the green Gentleman that I bought recently. It definitely wears larger for a 40 mm, as mentioned, due to the 48mm lug width. The bracelet isn't as high quality as I would expect but a good value for the money. I chose the Gentleman over the PRX, As I would enjoy changing up the band or strap with the bracelet. PRX, not so much. Again, just my opinion and observation.
I just bought the Tissot open heart gentlemen. I’m eager to go out somewhere with it. I’m glad this video is out to validate me. I’ve saved for it and it’s in my budget, but it’s still a good amount of money.
Teddy, it is clear: for beginners Gentlemen, for more conaisseurs the Tissot AP Waffle LND Oyster Quartz aka PRX; LND stands for Like No Date :) Greeting from Germany
My first automatic watch is a Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC ( T108.408.16.057.00 ) I absolutely love it. I put on a cheap bracelet from Spigen originally for Galaxy Watch and it looks perfect. Hoping to find a decent jubilee bracelet in my country.
As a newbie this is such a tough call. I just bought the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD91 and swapped the strap for black leather. It wears a little smaller than expected. I am struggling between the Gentlemen and the PRX. One minute its the former and then I change to the latter. Fairly certain that my choice will be the blue dial PRX as its simplicity has me gravitating back to it every time.
I bought the prx with the powermatic 80 in blue. Looks and feels great and it's gaining only 10-15 seconds a month so I can't complain about it's accuracy. I checked out the black dial quartz version to see what it would be size wise before the auto came out and the brushed black dial looked fantastic. Would have bought it on the spot if I wasn't waiting on the auto. The 70's styling just can't be beat IMO and Tissot did a really good job with this watch.
The Gentleman is a perfect everyday watch. Can be found for $700 but could easily be mistaken for a $5,000 watch. Made with craftsmanship and premium materials. Finishing is fantastic. The movement is incredibly accurate for this price point with over 3 days of power reserve. The PRX is great too, but doesn't have the same wow factor when you see it. It doesn't look like a luxury watch the way the Gentleman does.
i own the Tissot Couturier Powermatic 80 and i can tell you that these watches, along with the PRX and Gentleman are the best timepieces you can get for the money, truly valuable.
Why is Tissot Tradition Open Heart never talked about anywhere ? Is there anything wrong with it ? I'm confused which one to buy between Le Locle and Tradition Open Heart - both black dial and bracelets. If by tomorrow I'm still undecided, I will go with Seiko Alpinist :D
Spot on with your wrist size estimates for the PRX. I have a very small wrist at 150mm and those fixed end links stick out just a bit too far. If my wrist was 5-10 mm larger the PRX would be a perfect fit. There are aftermarket strap options coming so I might reconsider the PRX as strap options become available
I came onto say I'm surprised to see you wearing an outside coat indoors. Surprisingly, the first chanel comment was also about this but from a different direction.
The PRX really ticks all boxes if you love Genta Designs. The integrated bracelet is amazing. The waffle dial and see thru bottom. Double clasp. A Swiss automatic movement. What else can you ask for. This could easily be a 3-4K watch
No it isnt. There are also good competitors in this range to 1k and below. Maurice Lacroix Aikon, Citizen tsuyosa, Christopher Ward the twelve, yema wristmaster.
I have the Gentleman 80 Silicium with the 18k gold bezel, I ended up buying the factory stainless bracelet to put on in place of the blue leather strap. I also have the quartz PRX with the silver dial, I bought the blue leather strap a few weeks ago for it.
bought the Gentleman to celebrate my bachelor Degree, silver dial with bracelet. Incredible feeling for the price. blue dial was too vivid for my taste ( is way more vivid than the one on the hamilton jazzmaster or the prx, you cannot spot that on video) and the reflective part of the indexes under light gave me enough "bling". Also got myself really lucky with the movement it runs around +- 1s a day even though it doesn't have any chronograph certification
Week ago, looking for a new watch. Saw Tissot and look at the models. Saw two I loved. T-Race rose gold with black and PRX 80 with a cream white waffle. Bought the T-Race first and bought the PRX yesterday. Think it goes good with my Navy Blue suit, pops out with the white.
I owned the blue and black Gentleman. Overall a good watch that I sold after I was unable to get a good fit. In my opinion the lack of micro adjustments was the deal killer for me. The high polished center links also were scratch magnets. Also IMO, not really a sports watch, more of a dress watch. I have not bought the PRX based solely on the lack of micro adjustments. (This is also way I have not bought an Aqua Terra) I have lost 40#, so watch fit me completely differently than they did just last year. I did try on the Aqua Terra recently and still prefer the SM 300 buckle. If the PRX had micro adjustments, I'll own both the auto and the quartz.
@@marktran2657 The PRX Gentleman and PRX, nether has micro adjustments. The PRX has very good half links. I am glad I kept the PRX and not the Gentleman.
@@marktran2657 I don't like the waffle pattern on the auto PRX so I bought the the sunburst blue quartz and could not be happier. I also bought the PRX Chrono with the blue and white panda dial. It is also very good looking watch.
The Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80, with its highly raised applied markers and great finishing, would make you think that it is a watch that is easily 2 or 3 thousand dollars. Given that it is such a bargain, I am surprised that more Swiss watch makers haven't followed suit, and produced models with this level of quality while being affordable.
I really like both of these, and the Powermatic 80 being a real advantage. The omission of micro adjustments is a miss for both. As for the Gentleman, I dislike "Silicium" on the dial. (Google tells me it is a skin care product 😳) Reminds me of the American car manufacturers slapping "Turbo" and "Euro" on their cars in the '70s. A bit of a deal breaker for me.
"The omission of micro adjustments is a miss for both" - I Agree, but leather band solves it. "As for the Gentleman, I dislike "Silicium" on the dial". - I Agree, but not a deal braker for me, since this material is a synonim of performance and not as common in this price range. Regards,
As an owner of a Tissot PRX powermatic it really is hands down one of the best sub 1000 dollar watches. It definitely hangs with my watches above it’s price point and checks a lot of the boxes you want it to
I would certainly lean toward the Tissot Gentleman as the indices are stellar on this watch face. They remind me of those on a Breguet Type XXI Flyback, which I feel are some of the best the watch world has to offer! One of the downsides I've found with the Tissot PRX Automatic is it prone to scratching on the watch case and bracelet - a big problem as I like a watch to stay pristine. That being said, I think the design of the PRX is amazing, but if picking either I would go with the Tissot Gentleman.
Hey Teddy, I was wondering when we would get another ARCHIE LUXURY collaboration video. It's been 3 years so I think we are due for one! Good one arch!
I have both. I have the Gentleman with a black face as I consider that more formal and can wear it with my suits. I have the PRX quartz with the blue leather strap and have that for more informal times. I also have the PRX chronograph white face (Panda). I wear that for both informal and formal times.
I have had a Gentleman Powermatic 80 for a year and a half. It is a really good watch. Mine has been running at +2 sec/day, and it feels very solid and well made. Indeed, it is the heaviest watch that I own. The only disappointment is that it does not have a screw down crown, which would significantly improve its water resistance and make it a real GADA watch like an Oyster Perpetual or an Aqua Terra but for a fraction of the price.
My parents wedding anniversary is coming up and I wanted to get my dad a nice proper watch. I’ve gifted him a Rolex in the past and he refused to take it because of the price and told me to keep it for myself. So now Im thinking the PRX is the way to go. The price isn’t ridiculous, even for an average person who doesn’t know about watches, yet it still exudes a certain class, punching way above its weight class.
Gentleman if it’s your only watch, PRX if it’s part of a collection. The Gentleman is more versatile but the PRX is more unique and exciting. Both are great for the price!
This comment is Definetly helping to narrow the choice down haha
I agree, the PRX has been a great addition to my collection
Why is Tissot Tradition Open Heart never talked about anywhere ? Is there anything wrong with it ?
I'm confused which one to buy between Le Locle and Tradition Open Heart - both black dial and bracelets. If by tomorrow I'm still undecided, I will go with Seiko Alpinist :D
For my blocky wrist I found the prx more appealing
Does Gentleman suit skinny wrists?
Well I've had the PRX 80 Powermatic with the blue waffle dial for about 2 weeks now. It's a really cool, beautiful watch: I like its style! The Gentleman looks great, perhaps just a little too conservative and almost a bit boring for my taste. I find myself admiring the little details on the PRX.
One thing you didn't mention, though you can see it on the video, is that even though the PRX does not have micro adjustment, it does have two half links that can help get a good fit. I had to use one on mine. Worth mentioning......
I expect Teddy to start a coat or jacket collecting channel any day now
I was JUST telling the wife he should start selling wallets, high end pocket knives, etc. He would be a perfect one stop shop for the guys! And if he mirrored that on the ladies side with purses/bags, total world domination! Lol
The amount of watches and modifications will never be enough
Ha! Finally someone else that acknowledges Teddy's impeccable coat/jacket taste😄
I think he reps Taylor and Stitch. This is their trucker jacket.
Well, if you look at his first videos, that’s where he started. Then quickly focused on watches as it brought more views I suppose.
Just wanted to say that your videos covering the Tissot Genteleman Powermatic 80 Silicium finally got me to purchase one and it's my first significant watch purchase. Thank you so much. I really enjoy your videos, even those that cover watches that I can't afford (yet). Cheers!
I couldn't decide which one to buy so I bought both. I absolutely love the fit, finish and dials on both watches. I went for the blue waffle PRX 80 and the Classic green on the Gentlemen 80. Thanks Teddy for the comparison.
blue waffle, oh my
You got it right with the green dial Gentleman. What a nice watch.
I want to do the same. I already bought the blue prx and I am in love, but now, I want the green gentleman 🥲
If you only could’ve bought one which one would be ?
I bought the PRX over a month ago and it can't leave my wrist. I tried to wear another watch today but I went back to my PRX immediately. Incredible watch and value!

I agree, in Zurich I tried both and Gentleman was the winner. Enjoy!
False, the PRX is objectively better
@@hammerandthewrench7924 that's subjective 😉
Teddy, Just today unboxed my green Gentleman from you and it's more than I expected for $775. This video convinced me to purchase it.
This was my exact question 10 days ago, when I was trying to buy myself a birthday present. I went with PRX finally.
This channel never fails to impress with the high quality of its production, in all aspects.

Iv just bought the gentleman. no regrets at all. For the price point and what you get it’s amazing. 👌🏼
Purchased the Gentleman (blue dial as shown) a year ago. Wear it almost every day. Great value purchase.

Teddy, Mr. Baldassarre, you are Wes Andersson of watch reviewing. I love your work, your approach and your impeccable literacy.
Can't go wrong with Tissot! One of each in different colors would be perfect 👍🏻
100% when you can’t choice get both !

Both, just both. So great, so universal but even so unique
Excellent comparison, Teddy. Have had my Gentleman (this very model) for about a year and a half now and love it. Wear it 1st or 2nd most of the 7 watches in my collection. I do dig the PRX, but not the waffle dial-definitely prefer the look of the Quartz PRX. Still, though, with my Gentleman in the collection and too many other watches on my wish list, don’t see a PRX in my future.
I got the PRX first and then bought the Gentleman as well. I usually wear way more expensive watches but these are just so nice to wear and punch way above their price range.
Which one you prefer?
@@hawaiibeach782 Very hard to tell - like them both a lot but I suppose the Gentleman gets a bit more wrist time....
My favourite Tissot is the PRC200 Powematic 80. Everything the Gentleman offers, but with 200m WR and good lume.
I have the green dial gentleman. My favorite watch from my collection.
A great video Teddy! Two of my current favourite dare I say it 'value' Swiss watches currently in production. A very good compare and contrast view of these two in my opinion from the underrated Tissot brand. I do have the PRX PM80 in blue dial form and for the price it is a bargain. It's slim and on my 7" wrist works perfectly with a case /bracelet finish that others at this price should take note. The PRX more expensive sister (or brother) the Gentleman is also a well executed watch with the Si balance spring being more anti magnetic as you say and may justify the difference in price. I also have the older PR100 that I guess was the model to be replaced by the Gentleman that I'm more than happy with. My PRX and PR100 in daily use are single digit second accuracy each day. I do prefer the date at the 6 on my PR100 compared to both but the PRX gets away with it at 3 a tad better probably because of the modern retro 70's design and pressed waffle dial.
Very pleased with the green Gentleman that I bought recently.
It definitely wears larger for a 40 mm, as mentioned, due to the 48mm lug width. The bracelet isn't as high quality as I would expect but a good value for the money. I chose the Gentleman over the PRX, As I would enjoy changing up the band or strap with the bracelet. PRX, not so much. Again, just my opinion and observation.
Do you have the quartz or the automatic?
@@intellect4840 I have the automatic. Very pleased with this. However, you can't go wrong with either one.
@@thomashelm6931 yes it is quite nice. I'd rather have the automatic but the quartz for the price point is amazing. Both watches are great value
I just bought the Tissot open heart gentlemen. I’m eager to go out somewhere with it. I’m glad this video is out to validate me. I’ve saved for it and it’s in my budget, but it’s still a good amount of money.
Teddy, it is clear: for beginners Gentlemen, for more conaisseurs the Tissot AP Waffle LND Oyster Quartz aka PRX; LND stands for Like No Date :) Greeting from Germany
Synchronising the seconds hands was a great touch !!
I have the gentleman and it's a fantastic watch. I think it is also more timeless and will age better as the years go by
I have the Gentleman in green and love it.
Gentlemen is simply stunning.
I was very lucky with bracelet sizing though. Two half links out.
I think Auto for the Gentleman and Quartz for the PRX.
Totally agree with this!
My first automatic watch is a Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC ( T108.408.16.057.00 )
I absolutely love it. I put on a cheap bracelet from Spigen originally for Galaxy Watch and it looks perfect. Hoping to find a decent jubilee bracelet in my country.
As a newbie this is such a tough call. I just bought the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD91 and swapped the strap for black leather. It wears a little smaller than expected. I am struggling between the Gentlemen and the PRX. One minute its the former and then I change to the latter. Fairly certain that my choice will be the blue dial PRX as its simplicity has me gravitating back to it every time.
I have both, gentleman more of a exquisite to how you dress. Prx more versatile on how you dress.
@@PCFrost I chose the Gentleman. Wonderful look. Either is nice but I went more dress style.
Let me know how it feels on hand, for me seems bigger than prx, bulky
Was searching about this topic on TH-cam 10 hrs ago.....😁
Thanks for making this video
I bought the prx with the powermatic 80 in blue. Looks and feels great and it's gaining only 10-15 seconds a month so I can't complain about it's accuracy. I checked out the black dial quartz version to see what it would be size wise before the auto came out and the brushed black dial looked fantastic. Would have bought it on the spot if I wasn't waiting on the auto. The 70's styling just can't be beat IMO and Tissot did a really good job with this watch.
The Gentleman is a perfect everyday watch. Can be found for $700 but could easily be mistaken for a $5,000 watch. Made with craftsmanship and premium materials. Finishing is fantastic. The movement is incredibly accurate for this price point with over 3 days of power reserve.
The PRX is great too, but doesn't have the same wow factor when you see it. It doesn't look like a luxury watch the way the Gentleman does.
i own the Tissot Couturier Powermatic 80 and i can tell you that these watches, along with the PRX and Gentleman are the best timepieces you can get for the money, truly valuable.
I have both and I enjoy more the Prx.
The gentleman gets scratched way too easy 😔
Really!? Ok thanks, that’s useful
@@AlexMi77 besides for pictures the prx is way more photoghenic, the gentleman is very reflective
Why is Tissot Tradition Open Heart never talked about anywhere ? Is there anything wrong with it ?
I'm confused which one to buy between Le Locle and Tradition Open Heart - both black dial and bracelets. If by tomorrow I'm still undecided, I will go with Seiko Alpinist :D
Loving the new music, Theodore!
Spot on with your wrist size estimates for the PRX. I have a very small wrist at 150mm and those fixed end links stick out just a bit too far. If my wrist was 5-10 mm larger the PRX would be a perfect fit. There are aftermarket strap options coming so I might reconsider the PRX as strap options become available
I came onto say I'm surprised to see you wearing an outside coat indoors. Surprisingly, the first chanel comment was also about this but from a different direction.
The PRX really ticks all boxes if you love Genta Designs. The integrated bracelet is amazing. The waffle dial and see thru bottom. Double clasp. A Swiss automatic movement. What else can you ask for. This could easily be a 3-4K watch
No it isnt. There are also good competitors in this range to 1k and below. Maurice Lacroix Aikon, Citizen tsuyosa, Christopher Ward the twelve, yema wristmaster.
3-4k? you need to see more watches. heaps better watches out there.
I have the Gentleman 80 Silicium with the 18k gold bezel, I ended up buying the factory stainless bracelet to put on in place of the blue leather strap. I also have the quartz PRX with the silver dial, I bought the blue leather strap a few weeks ago for it.
bought the Gentleman to celebrate my bachelor Degree, silver dial with bracelet. Incredible feeling for the price. blue dial was too vivid for my taste ( is way more vivid than the one on the hamilton jazzmaster or the prx, you cannot spot that on video) and the reflective part of the indexes under light gave me enough "bling". Also got myself really lucky with the movement it runs around +- 1s a day even though it doesn't have any chronograph certification
Week ago, looking for a new watch. Saw Tissot and look at the models. Saw two I loved. T-Race rose gold with black and PRX 80 with a cream white waffle. Bought the T-Race first and bought the PRX yesterday. Think it goes good with my Navy Blue suit, pops out with the white.
@WhatsApp +➊➑➍➐➑➏⓿➋➒➋ congrats, you won a prize of me pegging you
I take both. The prx automatik blue and the gentleman in green 💚💙
I owned the blue and black Gentleman. Overall a good watch that I sold after I was unable to get a good fit. In my opinion the lack of micro adjustments was the deal killer for me. The high polished center links also were scratch magnets. Also IMO, not really a sports watch, more of a dress watch. I have not bought the PRX based solely on the lack of micro adjustments. (This is also way I have not bought an Aqua Terra) I have lost 40#, so watch fit me completely differently than they did just last year. I did try on the Aqua Terra recently and still prefer the SM 300 buckle. If the PRX had micro adjustments, I'll own both the auto and the quartz.
It's got 2 half links in the bracelet that you can use like microadjustment. Strangely a missed point on this review.
@@marktran2657 The PRX Gentleman and PRX, nether has micro adjustments. The PRX has very good half links. I am glad I kept the PRX and not the Gentleman.
@@marktran2657 I don't like the waffle pattern on the auto PRX so I bought the the sunburst blue quartz and could not be happier. I also bought the PRX Chrono with the blue and white panda dial. It is also very good looking watch.
@@marktran2657 I like the Mido, but when I tried on a few they left me bored.
The watch description is cool like price and everything 👍
I'm looking forward to seeing the 36mm PRX.
I think the leaks suggested that it'll be 35mm variant
@Will Harris Myself. A real man can wear anything he damn well pleases
Got the PRX recently and in love with it!
The tissot gentleman is my daily and it is such a solid watch. Feels more expensive than it actually is.
The Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80, with its highly raised applied markers and great finishing, would make you think that it is a watch that is easily 2 or 3 thousand dollars. Given that it is such a bargain, I am surprised that more Swiss watch makers haven't followed suit, and produced models with this level of quality while being affordable.
If other brands are selling their watches for 3-4x more and people are buying them they have no reason to drop their price
@@WatchUnwind only the swatch group can really do this sort of price and volume easily.
Longines have some great sub 1k offerings.
@@boomdaus other watch makers don't have access to the quality of movement at this price point.
Since Tissot offers the Ballade with a Powermatic 80 COSC movement, it would be nice to see them also offer it on the Gentleman.
@@balesjoI'd like to see a ballade side by side with the gentleman, I'm torn between which one will be my first swiss watch.
great comparison video teddy!
I really like both of these, and the Powermatic 80 being a real advantage. The omission of micro adjustments is a miss for both. As for the Gentleman, I dislike "Silicium" on the dial. (Google tells me it is a skin care product 😳) Reminds me of the American car manufacturers slapping "Turbo" and "Euro" on their cars in the '70s. A bit of a deal breaker for me.
"The omission of micro adjustments is a miss for both" - I Agree, but leather band solves it. "As for the Gentleman, I dislike "Silicium" on the dial". - I Agree, but not a deal braker for me, since this material is a synonim of performance and not as common in this price range. Regards,
I respect the PRX design but I gotta go with the Gentleman. What a beautiful watch!
Just the video I was looking for. If Tissot came out with a smaller PRX in the future I'd get both!
Headed to Switzerland again this year, will probably pick up a white/gold PRX. Got the PRS100 Powermatic 80 last time.
My blue prx powermatic is definitely my go to during the work week and my Seiko arnie on the weekends.
As an owner of a Tissot PRX powermatic it really is hands down one of the best sub 1000 dollar watches. It definitely hangs with my watches above it’s price point and checks a lot of the boxes you want it to
I would certainly lean toward the Tissot Gentleman as the indices are stellar on this watch face. They remind me of those on a Breguet Type XXI Flyback, which I feel are some of the best the watch world has to offer! One of the downsides I've found with the Tissot PRX Automatic is it prone to scratching on the watch case and bracelet - a big problem as I like a watch to stay pristine. That being said, I think the design of the PRX is amazing, but if picking either I would go with the Tissot Gentleman.
Love the PRX,one of my favorites in my collection.
Great comparison. Tipped me toward the Gentleman!
Just got a PRX today. Wonderful watch for the value
I have PRX & would recommend every watch lover to have this beautiful watch,you will not regret it
which one powermatic or quartz?
@Anthonydp Automatic of course
Hey Teddy, I was wondering when we would get another ARCHIE LUXURY collaboration video. It's been 3 years so I think we are due for one! Good one arch!
I have both. I have the Gentleman with a black face as I consider that more formal and can wear it with my suits. I have the PRX quartz with the blue leather strap and have that for more informal times. I also have the PRX chronograph white face (Panda). I wear that for both informal and formal times.
I have had a Gentleman Powermatic 80 for a year and a half. It is a really good watch. Mine has been running at +2 sec/day, and it feels very solid and well made. Indeed, it is the heaviest watch that I own. The only disappointment is that it does not have a screw down crown, which would significantly improve its water resistance and make it a real GADA watch like an Oyster Perpetual or an Aqua Terra but for a fraction of the price.
My parents wedding anniversary is coming up and I wanted to get my dad a nice proper watch. I’ve gifted him a Rolex in the past and he refused to take it because of the price and told me to keep it for myself. So now Im thinking the PRX is the way to go. The price isn’t ridiculous, even for an average person who doesn’t know about watches, yet it still exudes a certain class, punching way above its weight class.
