The watches have a different movement. The PRX has the ETA C07.111 movement and the Gentleman the ETA C07.811 movement. The C07.111 movement has a synthetic pallet fork and escapement. The C07.811 has, in addition to the silicon balance spring, a normal escapement and pallet fork with jewels (hence the difference of 23 jewels for the PRX and 25 jewels for the Gentleman). The difference in price is presumably merely due to the different movements.
@@mariobianchi1909 The differences are so minimal, maybe a difference of $2.00 in production. Your statement of "way better" is completely off. And repairs for the PRX is easier with a simple replacement of the movement (drop in) as needed.
@@vvvhhhhhbb its not a matter of higher production costs...if you prefer plastic parts in your mechanical movement then it's ok. My idea of mechanical watch is different.
@@jibreel1580 Tissot does mention the movement on their web page. For the PRX it says 80.111 and for the Gentleman it says 80.811, which correspopnds to ETA movements C07.111 and C07.811 respectively.
You can easily find watches in other brands which look similar to the gentlemen but you can't find similar watches for PRX so I would definitely choose PRX
Exactly. The Gentleman is a fine watch, but it's so unremarkable, almost generic looking. The PRX has some character (although I'm not huge a fan of the waffle dial on the automatic).
Just got the PRX Powermatic 80 in blue and it’s incredible! My new favorite watch second to my Casio A168. As for the gentleman I would loooove to get it in green instead !
@@robertomartignone5025 it really is, I wanted to get it in blue but I already have too many blue and black dials. Green though would hit, maybe even add a black leather strap to it 😄
I like the PRX for the looks. It just looks really cool...a great design. I've got the blue waffle dial version and love it. The Gentleman just looks a bit bland and generic, but still nice. Having said that, I like the ability to change straps with the gentleman. Some of ones with a blue dial and black leather strap look great. The versatility is a great point in the gentleman's favour. I may get a leather strap version one day...
I’m not a fan of integrated bracelets because i really enjoy swapping straps around. I would get bored with it. The PRX sharp edges with the round dial doesn’t really speak to me. I love vintage watches but this one isn’t for me. Although, the waffle dial is amazing. My pick is the Gentleman, because it reminds me of the Seamaster Aqua Terra (not the Datejust), which is my dream piece. I can more easily justify the Gentleman’s price as a married father of 3. The Gentleman in a blue dial is most likely my next purchase
The PRX is my pick, and likely one of my next couple of purchases. However, I've recommended the Gentleman to others, and a friend even purchased a blue Gentleman Powermatic recently on my recommendation. He's quite happy with it, and it's running within 1 second a day accuracy. There's really no wrong choice here.
Nobody cares, 99.9% of people like me like watches cuz their MECHANICAL movement. I will never like boring quartz and will never wear one. If i want to buy watch just for the sake to tell the time i will check my phone instead and save my money for mechanical watch.
Typical watch snob that know nothing about higher end quartz. I understand about not wanting a PRX quartz but theres some high end quartz movements with amazing technology. Please do some reaserch before looking foolish again.
@@Joe-cf8in Im not watch snob idiot, im wearing from Casio F-91 to watches with 4r35, Selitta sw200-2 and all base movememts. I just dont like quartz doesnt mean i dont have in past and that doesnt make me snob dumbass. Its called WHAT YOU PREFER IDIOT.
It is just my humble opinion, but I think the Gentlemen have better regulated movements in general, on top of the silicon balance spring. Mine runs +3 secs a day and you can find many reviews here on UA-cam with nearly the same accuracy. The PRXs are inferior in almost every aspect I think. If I had to choose it would be a no brainer to go with the Gentleman.
You forgot the price comparison I think the score will be 4:2 in favor of the prx.. I am glad I made the right choice for the prx.. thank you for this video..
I tried both at a Tissot AD. I liked the gentleman a lot more, it's a timeless design. I just don't find the prx design appealing, hence why I bought the gentleman!
Definitely; go for the Gentlemen. The PRX will soon be outdated. I disagree on his comment of highly polished center links in the bracelet: they don’t make it look cheap, they make it look more exclusive. The versatility in the long run will be better compared to the prx. The prx is more of a short hype watch as the more classic design of the gentlemen is timeless.
@@Jordan-gu3uu That has nothing to do with style/design. A lot of luxury watches have gone up in price. This has to do with availability, production numbers, demand but also inflation. Sure demand is partially a reason, but the question is why demand for luxury watches is higher than ever? Could it be that everyone is seeking a lot of alternatives to inflation hedges? Or are prices just adjusted to inflation and production problems due to covid? The Royal Oak is reasonably timeless, the PRX isn’t.
@@meoymeoy9405 it's probably because of all the celebrity and new age rappers being obsessed with expensive watches, literally every single rapper and celeb gets a AP just because they want an expensive watch to wear lol
@@teedea89 I doubt that is the reason. That has been happening for ages and never drove up prices that crazy. It is probably due to hidden (covid related) supply problems and inflation (excessive money printing)
I went into Tissot and checked them both out. This sunburst dial of the Gentlemen just felt so much sleeker to me than the waffle design of the PRX. Really tough choice though.
I visited my local Tissot dealer tried on the gentleman and the PRX I chose the PRX just found fit finish was superior and fit my wrist better Also love the versatility of the dress/sport look.Value for dollar the PRX punches well above its class.
Surprising That it is 2:2 until the very Last criteria. ;) I like the PRX More but having had it in my hands it felt a bit cheap and the bracelet also rather Thin and too sharp at the edges. So maybe neither of them enough to spend 600+€.
Gentleman absolutely smokes the PRX if you have a larger wrist. As far as better value, the Mido Ocean Star while is more expensive, is the best value in the watch game
Funny you should say that because I thought the same thing!...looks good online But cheap in the hands and does nothing for me...my silver prx quartz is way better on My wrist than the green gentleman I bought...just does nothing for me
need to work on breath techniques budd it sounds full of saliva PRX takes the win if only compared in terms of metal bracelet. Gentleman gold with brown strap black dial is the real deal. That peace is amazing. Sports watch, PRX. Dress watch, Gentleman gold bezel black dial.
Both are outstanding offerings by Tissot. I just got an anthracite Gentleman and I'm getting a blue PRX as soon as they become availible.

Exactly the Gent sports way superior movement with no plastic escapement plus silicium balance spring.
where can you find this info? on the tissot website I couldn't find the specific movements they use for each watch.

@@BL-yj2wp honestly just saw both auto and quartz yesterday and I decided to go with the quartz
I've had my PRX auto just under a week and I love it
Tissot Gentleman should be 38'. would be perfect
exactly :-(

Right , green is perfect !

I bought both - the PRX with a black and the Gentleman with the blue dial. Both watches are really great daily rocker
Same here prx black quarts and gentlemen blue automatic
@@franciscocardona8878which do you like more if you please ?im lost on which to choose 😅
Two excellent watches from tissot , they hit it outta the park with those two .

The gentleman is a sophisticated design but bland at the end of the day. The PRX is striking, bold & an amazing value.
My cock is so gigantic when I wear these watches!
I have One Tissot T-classic Gentleman green dial sunburst, Very attractive, loved it....💚💚

You can remove the bracelet for the PRX and use others that are available
Why do you think the bracelet on the Gentleman makes it look cheap?
Gentleman all day
Prx= future classic. Both quartz and auto will be sought after.
I wish you could have the gentleman with the waffle dial
The PRX is my pick, and likely one of my next couple of purchases. However, I've recommended the Gentleman to others, and a friend even purchased a blue Gentleman Powermatic recently on my recommendation. He's quite happy with it, and it's running within 1 second a day accuracy. There's really no wrong choice here.
What is the difference in size between the two?
eh, just get both! I have the ice blue PRX and the deep blue gentleman, love them both!
25 jewel higher end ETA in the Gentleman versus 23 jewel lesser version in the PRX. For some, substance is more than just skin deep.
Great review. Once I saw them in-person on my wrist, I chose the gentleman. Both are beautiful Tissot watches.
The historically correct version for the PRX is the quartz. Plus, the Gentleman has way better automatic movement.
Nobody cares, 99.9% of people like me like watches cuz their MECHANICAL movement. I will never like boring quartz and will never wear one. If i want to buy watch just for the sake to tell the time i will check my phone instead and save my money for mechanical watch.

Thank you for a great video. I think the PRX has also a silicon spring. But I agree he PRX is the watch to buy.

If I had to choose it would be a no brainer to go with the Gentleman.
Damn, I love my PRX Powermatic 80. Have it in forest green. Its beautiful, comfortable, and practical.
For me I would take the gentleman, its just such a classic design. The PRX looks good today but may look out dated again in a few years. Both a nice.
I prefer by far the Gentleman which has a better movement. Not a fan of the PRX.
It's basically the same movement, isn't it ?
Yes, except for the silicium spring!
Great clip thank you!
Will the Prx 80 be easy or harder to get at Ad n will u think this is good long term value
You forgot the price comparison I think the score will be 4:2 in favor of the prx.. I am glad I made the right choice for the prx.. thank you for this video..

100 percent. Fine in a tshirt, fine in a suit. Such a quality piece.
prx. My favourite watch regardless of price
Agree with the verdict, both are great but PRX is more stunning, just that its rose gold version is not two tone enough with the SS bracelet.
PRX bracelet is so large it turns me off
I would agree with you, and have the PRX lol
Agree with this analysis. Both are amazing watches, but me the PRX comes out on top.
I bought the Gentleman in green for $600 USD, delivered to my door.
Why? Did you lose your legs in a war?
The gentelmen looks more sturdy and more compact
Surprising That it is 2:2 until the very Last criteria. ;)
I like the PRX More but having had it in my hands it felt a bit cheap and the bracelet also rather Thin and too sharp at the edges. So maybe neither of them enough to spend 600+€.
You got it right.
The gentleman looks a bit generic, kinda like a Swiss SARB
Gentleman absolutely smokes the PRX if you have a larger wrist. As far as better value, the Mido Ocean Star while is more expensive, is the best value in the watch game
Gentleman.........With 18 k gold...... Bezel.......The best
Yes! The PRX WINS! Great versus video
PRX has 23 jewels while Gentleman 25. This means PRX uses the poor version of the movement Powermatic with plastic escapement.
@@BBHorology exactly! This challenge fades to vintage style versus classical one.. . ( I choose prx 😉 )
Gentlemen is classic and prx is modern
Prx
Tissot Gentleman looks better on pictures than in real life. I saw this watch in the store and it looked cheap like Casio cheap.
Funny you should say that because I thought the same thing!...looks good online But cheap in the hands and does nothing for me...my silver prx quartz is way better on My wrist than the green gentleman I bought...just does nothing for me
need to work on breath techniques budd it sounds full of saliva
PRX takes the win if only compared in terms of metal bracelet.
Gentleman gold with brown strap black dial is the real deal. That peace is amazing.
Sports watch, PRX. Dress watch, Gentleman gold bezel black dial.
