Micro adjustable bracelets should be a must in 2023
💯
They are... For a price. I'm sure it'll be over $100 more and some people are just not willing to pair for that
Audemars piguet : 150k watch and no micro
@@sennaracinglegend1438 I've got one on my VC Overseas - AP, meh.
Don’t buy a timepiece then idiot,just get a Casio.
Fortunately, in the Philippines it's consistently sweltering hot.
Lolol. I'd leave my bracelet extra loose for comfort
Rude nasty men Filipinos are just like Malays and Indonesians . Thais are so much friendly
Its either hot as hell or you're underwater
LMAO Im from the ph too and just ordered a prx quartz, never knew wrist sizes change with weather so its good to know I dont need to be worried
Same here in Brazil
I'm glad you said that. I've got the chronograph gentleman, same clasp and it is unbelievably uncomfortable on a hot day. None of these watch you tubers tell you this as they are trying to sell them
Yup, just being honest. I've experienced this firsthand with quite a few watches and it can definitely make it less enjoyable
You think Tissot are paying a commission to the UA-camrs?
@@Nolangainsborough no but free watches to review
that's a thin guy problem, we fat guys don't care, the watch doesn't stay up on the wrist anyway and the fat lair allows some wiggle room on the fit
@@alexsavutube 😂
bro, I feel the exact same way. Certain times of the day the watch feels great other times I have to take it off because it’s just a little too tight.
Exaccccctly
Its not a mystery at all. I thought it was common sense that our bodies swell when we get hotter. That happens to people with engagement rings all the time. You gotta have it slightly oversized.
@@idontlikestuffthat happens with my rings,on a hot day they are perfect but when is cold,they are loose…
Delugs rubber straps are excellent, also providing flexibility in warm weather
Good to know! Will take a look
aqNaut strap adapter is better tbh, can’t justify that delugs price tag
Deezlugs got em
@@manuelloera5995Do they drop down, reducing the L2L measurement from 51mm?
I got this for my engagement gift in Paris I love this watch
Fantastic choice
You can adjust the bracelet clasp, that's why there are holes on the sides....
I just picked one up recently on my travels and it is an absolute steal and a dream watch when it comes to value for the money. The two biggest complaints I have on this watch is the one that’s mentioned and it is 100% accurate as a video that it does get slightly uncomfortable when the weather gets hot, the other is the brightness and longevity of the lume at nighttime.
hello…can u please confirm me…is the prx bracelet edges on the inside feel a little sharp when you move your fingers through the edges? i mean its smooth on upper side edges…but the side cuttings feels a little sharp on my one..😢
I agree with your opinion about a micro adjustment. I wear my prx regularly and through out the day when my wrist swells, it can get a bit tight. A small way to adjust it would be perfect.
I just ordered the PRX with the same blue waffle dail. It’s so gorgeous and i can’t wait to wear it❤️
A year later. Would you still buy it again or something else?
@@Gun1Up I just ordered mine today
@@aiuniverse nice! This watch checks all the boxes. It's Swiss made, 100 meter depth, 80 hrs run time, shaphire crystal with antiglare, hacking and winding. Unbelievable at this price point. I'm definitely going to get one. Let me know how you like it!
What ever you do, DONT Google blue waffle
nobody else seems to talk about how your wrist changes size throughout the day but fr it gets annoying not being able to change the strap fit when it does
Yeah, it's a natural occurence, we all experience it though often it is minor. I notice it mostly in the summer. Going from aircondition inside to hot and humid outside makes my wrist swell up like a baloon.
Also the problem with integrated bracelets. With or without a micro adjust you might not get a fit that is as comfortable as you want.
Then its game over.
No chance at all to just abandon the bracelet and go with a leather or rubber strap (yes I know now Tissot have some other options but thats only recent and still limited to being their integrated fit).
I added an half link for this reason. It’s a tad more loose, but so much more comfortable to wear
Exactly what I did. Perfect this way!
Yes, I too sized mine up just a bit, so it would rather wear a bit loose when I'm chilling, but still don't choke off the blood when I'm doing something. And frankly, it has never been a problem for me. I think the PRX feels good no matter if it is a bit loose or if it just slightly starts to feel a bit tight.
yeah i do that too, because it looks better draping off the wrist slightly too because of the bracelet finishing. Like when you are standing up and holding something up with the left hand, the watch tends to fall pretty nicely
I agree with you. Still this isn’t a deal breaker not just cause of the price but the watch is very wearable. Own the exact same model and I love it!
Yes, exactly. Certainly not a deal breaker for me either. Nice, we're watch twins! See the new ice blue model coming out?
I definitely agree. That’s my biggest complaint about the PRX
I wish the links articulated more with separate center and end links. I think that would help as well.
You can still slightly adjust it without adding or removing links, by changing where the end of the bracelet attaches to the clasp, they are 4-5 holes that you can choose from, and can be adjusted relatively quickly
The clasp at the end is not on the PRX, he’s showing it to illustrate what micro adjusts look like.
I wear mine slightly loose for this reason. On the hot days it fits perfectly 😂
Micro ajustments is a must!🙏🏼 still felt in love with this one… 😅
To be fair, AP still doesn't have microadjust, and PP only just added it last year.
Yeah, that's true. Hard to complain when the big boys aren't even doing it
💯
No doubt! On a 100k+ watch to boot
What is AP?
@@Aver812 Audemars Piguet
The thing I don't like about Tissot PRX is usage of nylon in its critical components such as escapement lever. It just makes the product disposable and not repairable.
Just for that, getting a Citizen Tsuyosa or a second hand Seiko Pogue(or a Lorus rl447bx9 "Pogue") is much better option for cushion style watch
i have too but i cant complain. i mean it gets too tight sometimes but i absolutely love it and wear it daily
How exactly would you like them to do that?
I cannot think of one butterfly clasp that has micro adjust.
Didn’t the Rolex, shown as a reference for what this could look like, at the end have a butterfly clasp and micro adjustment?
Genuinely curious
@@Exsavior1 That does not look like a Rolex and that is not an integrated design nor butterfly clasp.
Formex has a butterfly clasp with a micro-extension on in.
@@4SakN1 Are u sure, I can not think of any formex that has a integrated bracelet design
@@4SakN1 Sounds difficult to achieve but nothings impossible I guess.
I have a few complaints about the PRX, one being the waffle dial kills the sunburst effect, the fact that it's case makes the dial look tiny, or the lug to lug makes two gaps at the top of the wrist. The bracelet is its best feature.
The gap is the only thing I don't like, it doesn't sit perfectly.
The bracelet does have micro adjustments on the clasp. Unless you are already at the largest size, you can adjust the strap wider by moving the pin to the next hole by carefully using a paper clip. On that clasp shown there are six positions (one or even two are still available).
That clasp was from another watch as an example, but I can see how that was confusing!
Plenty of strap options now on amazon or even retailers .
For me it's the hands , find them alittle boring but still love this watch ! I own 2 in different colors ! Cheers 🍻 !
Same about the citizen nighthawk, it's got a really cool (too me) bracelet each Link is 7 pieces making it a stupid complicated watch link to put together for even the jeweler, took him a few minutes to figure it out (30min to remove two links)
Typical of Swiss Watches they seem to love butterfly clasps for some reason. I think they want to hide the clasp when on wrist making a solid bracelet all around but in warm climates it’s a pain. Maybe in Switzerland it works better where it’s not very hot or humid. Mostly cold always so once you get a good fit you’re set.
I ve never had this problem so far but got mine for Christmas… will see now with the hotter days
Agreed, a micro adjustment lock on the clasp would be very easy to implement
Yup, exactly! Would make the butterfly clasp just a bit longer but I think most of us would be willing to make that compromise
@@ChronometerCheck agreed, I’d rather need to take out 2 more links after it arrives then be losing blood supply to my hand or constantly being stuck to my wrist or the opposite… sliding all over and spinning around. A micro pull out adjustment would be perfect! 🤙 wish they’d do it… *cough* *and a 38mm Powermatic gold and blue dial lol*
So Guys if it’s so easy just Show me one Butterfly clasp with a Micro adjustment!
Got a Tudor Ranger as well as a PRX. The Ranger isn't a looker but the you can do on the fly micro adjustments so wear it more.
There are adjustment holes in the bracelet clasp, therefore the statement of any adjustment requires adding or removing bracelet links is false.
Leather and rubber straps are available from Tissot
I think I cared more about what was under the hood then the watch itself that 80 powermatic is a beast.
There are a lot of somewhat affordable straps out there. Tissot makes some for around 60$ but some other companies make some higher grade straps for around 120$- 180$ which make the watch look like it’s a 2k-3k tier watch.
Honestly glad this is an integrated bracelet watch
Im highly considering getting into designing and producing thought out watch straps and bracelets. I often find bracelets too thick or poorly designed when it comes to actual wearability.
Example : my Zodiac Super Sea Wolf bracelet is awesome but the clasp is pretty flimsy and pops off if you just stick your finger between your wrist and clasp. It could use some ceramic bearings
I get you. I bought the blue alligator strap with integrated end link and it’s like owning another watch for that change of pace. Also, I think they came out with a rubber strap. Otherwise the Delugs makes a fine one in different comers but the price is too high in my opinion. Enjoy!
Agreed. I’m in Canada and this time of year it’s cold, randomly had to fly to South Africa…. This thing was so tiiiight in Africa couldn’t wear it at times. It even gets tight back home through out the day!
Yeah that is a Problem that only thies partikular Tissot has…dumbhead, it’s called temperature Extension…welcome to real life where physic leads 😂
It's either too tight or too loose. I've found a way around this that might work for some.
Love my PRX and the bracelet is gorgeous. But I agree with the tightness on a hot day
Price
I just bought the one with a leather strap. It’s Perfect!
Always liked the PRX, but one thing bothered me: the bezel. Felt it didn't fit the beautiful straight lines of the rest of the watch.
Therefore I recently got me a D1 Milano 2nd generation automatic, green dial. Beautiful.
Tissot has tons of nice leather straps for this that are super easy to change
Do you know which other watch has integrated bracelet and no micro adjustments? AP Royal Oak ;)
Just wear it a bit loose, as you wear a sports watch because of these particular reasons and you don’t have any issues. Sport watches are considered to be more loose bc of different body temperature levels and different other conditions which have impact on the wearability… imho! 🤷🏻♂️
The only thing i desagree, is the open back. I would prefer it without it, and the watch would be thinner.
you don't need micro-adjustments, the links are small, fits perfect ...
I change links depending on the weather so agreed some micro adjustments would be great. Unfortunately it'd raise the price.
I also wish the crown was a little larger
What do you think 200bucks More and *puff* there is a Micro adjustment at this clasp?
They could easily put a folding clasp with a Micro adjust but it would completely destroy the Look of the watch(bracelet)
But they cant Make a Butterfly clasp with Micro adjust, if you do think so, Show me one Butterfly clasp which can do this
As someone who has a mentional wrist size changing... that would be a no go for me.
There’s tons of bracelet replacements if you’re interested. This watch is very accessorizable.
Isn’t normal to have constant changes on your wrist, that happen because of sodium retention, go to your doctor, could be a sign of renal failure or hepatic failure.
I have worn mine for 30 days now and have not had a problem with fit fluctuations
Rolex NFT when?
Yeah they should’ve had micro adjustments. I’m at the point where I won’t buy a watch anymore unless it has a couple. My wrist is small. That sweet spot is difficult to find without that little adjustment option.
Yep, I am right inbeween link sizes for my wrist, I decided to go snug. But I got the Tissot leather strap as well which I currently use, it's very nice!
During summer even though I mostly wear bracelet watches, I tend to wear my prx less because of this exact issue.
I’ve got 3 now. The 80 Prx green . The gold champagne sunburst in 35 quartz and dark blue 35 quartz
I love my 4 month old Crystal Blue PRX. It's a stunning piece. I understand what you said about the bracelet. I just left mine a little larger than many people would like, which is my standard comfort sizing policy. The bigger problem that I have is that this brushed SS bracelet SCRATCHES WHEN YOU BREATHE ON IT. I have a ton of SS bands on multiple manufacturer's watches and NONE has scratched even close to this amount, after years of aggressive wear. My seller showed the photos to Tissot which promptly told me to pound salt as the scratches are TYPICAL FOR THIS PIECE. Really?????? I'm in disbelief and had I known this, I would have spent my $700 on something more durable and equally beautiful. Anyone else have thoughts about this defect? Thanks!
I love my PRX and I kinda agree. But the watch is very balanced and quite light so I can live with it sitting a littele looser. On the other hand this allows it to have a clasp that is so seamlessly integrated into the bracelet visually!
Personally, my only downside is that it‘s a damn scratch magnet (I have never had a steel bracelet that collected microscratches so easily) and I hate the dirt/smear on the flat surface (the four edges) around the bezel. It‘s impossible to have them look clean and it‘s even visible in this video. Other than that I adore my PRX.
Wear your watch above the wrist bone. It fixes this issue and allows you greater range of motion.
That’s the correct position for a watch
It's a $800 watch that competes with brands that cost over 10k ..how good of a value does the watch need to be .it's a great watch that is and will be a iconic piece. Idk maybe in the future cause they have way too many options to begin with when talking about the prx line they keep fine tuning the design so who knows maybe a micro space or 2 may happen.
I wear 42 mm watches and I have no problem with wrist size issues this is watch is for under $1000 I’m going to purchase it in the future once I get my money 💰 💵
I sized mine just a little loose to allow for swelling.
This is the way to go my friend
Micro adjustment would be better but I solved the issue by cutting out a piece of silicon rubber sheet and sticking it to the back of the butterfly clasp.
It's soft and comfortable and will prevent the bracelet from sliding up and down in cold air-conditioned environments. It has some give so when your wrist expands in hot weather it won't feel like you're wearing a tourniquet 😂
Oooooooh very interesting idea! Might have to try that.
Most jewelers will tell you if your watch is fitted properly you don’t need a micro adjustment. (If you can fit one finger in between the clasp and your wrist)
There are after market leather and rubber straps on the website, I find this wrist has a very accurate adjustment system. Other watches I've had were generally much worse.
Yeah, but the aftermarket straps aren't as plentiful as on watches with standard lug widths and I don't like the look with the strap notch anyway. Just my opinion, of course
Tissot release rubber and leather options.
Yes but they're not quite as common, have as much variety, or as affordable as regular straps.
@@ChronometerCheck Delugs straps are better! They have ready stock rubber and leather, and will also make custom orders.
I agree. An amazing watch that looks great but it does have this one flaw
There’s a nice rubber option
Pop it on the white rubber from tissot in the summer and this issues is solved 👍
I don't own a Tissot prx (yet, love it so imma buy one someday) but a Maurice Lacroix Aikon and I had the same problem with my wrist getting bigger over the day but likely there is a rubber strap in the color of the dial for it so on a summer day I'm wearing the rubber strap adjusting it between 3 holes on one day
one thing I hate about it is the size I wish they make a 36mm version of the Powermatic 80, I don't wan to get e chair quartz
Tissot have a leather strap for the prx in blue or black.
I got the blue leather strap as well, it's great for casual wear, the metal bracelet is great for special occasions
The escapement (pallet fork and escape wheel) is made of some kind of “plastic”.
Something to consider 🤔
I’m sure you could find many options for bracelet or band designed to fit this watch on the AliExpress
I absolutely hate integrated bracelets. They are a pain to find on vintage.
Too many options nowadays to fit that style of watch btw...not restricted at all when it comes to versatility
I have a citizen, vintage and has a similar bracelet. Similar design.
I ordered the prx blue rubber band from tissot $60 well worth it😊
I guess I got lucky with the fit
There is somewhat of a micro adjustment
But it requires a lot of trial and error
I like to wear a watch little loose so if the hand does swell it shouldn't be a major problem.
Great point. All mid-range and above watches should have a micro adjustment, just like all cars have headlights. It's a must-have.
Ok, they show me one Butterfly clasp with Micro adjust
There are a lot of high quality after market straps, also some made by tissot as well
Fair points! Worth checking out
@@ChronometerCheck delugs is coming out with one that has the metal center portion on their rubber and leather. I do like that look better than their first attempt at the straps for the prx
@@timefliesby-jleo474 Yeah I think part of what bugged me about any rubber/leather strap was how awkward it looks with the center link. Would love to see their new attempt!
him saying integrated bracelets usually found on much more expensive luxury sports watches like its a tourbillon. there's $50 watches out there with Intergraph bracelets it's not just a hight end thing it's actually a very common thing in lower budget watches
Delugs has nice rubber straps for the prx
I love mine but the bracelet scratches so easily 😣
I have mine on a blue Tissot strap and it looks even better than the bracelet.
Awesome, I'll check them out for summer (rubber strap?)
@@ChronometerCheck leather for $55
Have my green dial on the black tissot strap, really handy with the quick change system
Never had that issue, but i can see what you mean
Thanks for watching
quartz version at least has a sort of half link allows for OK sizing
You can Literally See the half Link in the Video, on that powermatic…
i mean micro adjustments are nice and all but in all seriousness who changes the micro adjustment morning to evening?
Tissot does sell straps $65-$105 approximately. This is one year after the video though.
OH MY GOD!!! Just the exact same issue with me. It is SO annoying. I either need to remove one link or add one. Most of the times tho, it is not a good fit on my wrist. And fit matters on the overall look of the watch when wearing!!!! So mine has just been sitting on the box for months already. Might just sell it.
You just showed the adjustment holes on the clasp.
Ahh that was from a different watch as an example but I can see how that could be confusing
You can micro adjust it….
There are several holes that you can adjust the spring bar to fit into on the clasp.
I thought every bracelet watch had this…
Wrong
@@thegorn You can clearly see the holes Im talking about in the video…
I've never worn a Tissot, but I can tell you the Daytona with the Oysterflex is the most comfortable strap I've experienced.
The Most unnecessary comment of all Time
Been eyeing this for a long time but I’m worried about the lug design and no micro adjustment since my wrist is 6.25.
Totally agree with you on this, man.
Thanks Mark
I have the dark green, love it! But the lume is terrible, Tissot should fix it.
Having a butterfly clasp with micro-adjustments seems very possible. However, even brands like AP and Vacheron don't have this
Show me one
