Tissot's PRX Quartz was a hit when the watch debuted earlier this year, but enthusiasts quickly called for an automatic version. Only a few short months later, Tissot has answered back with a new PRX powered by the Powermatic 80 caliber and equipped with an eye-catching waffle-textured dial. In this video, I'll do a complete review of the new Powermatic PRX while also comparing it to the also excellent quartz version to see which watch might be right fit for you.

An automatic swiss made integrated bracelet steel sports watch, with that dial, and from a brand with a lot of heritage, for 650$, I mean... It sells itself.
I went for the new Ballade design which went under the radar for most people, but the PRX auto is ofc a good one too.
You consider the integrated bracelet to be a pro, not a con? Why?
@@derekwalter4238 because royal oak
@@derekwalter4238 Because it's a matter of taste of course, some people like it, some people don't. Personally I think it looks pretty sleek.
@@derekwalter4238 did you notice there’s two little set screws on the end links to allow for installation of upcoming rubber and leather strap options?
Hmmm
I grabbed the blue mechanical the first day that it was available, and it has seen a large amount of wrist time ever since. It punches FAR above its price tag, and tracks close (but not quite) to COSC accuracy. It's a fantastic value proposition.
could you elaborate why it punch far above price tag?
@@basedpatriotLT the finishing on the case and bracelet is excellent and the overall execution is very impressive and well-made, with touches of polished surfaces throughout adding visual details. Other value-proposition watches in this price range rarely come close. The movement is 80 hours, anti-magnetic and shock resistant, which is really unheard of at this price, or even double our triple the price. It's really an exceptional offering. If this watch was $1300 I'd still argue that this was best in class, but it's half that amount.
@@bipennate 80 hours power reserve is excellent at that price point. A lot of rivals only have 40 hours.
How is the finish holding up? Is it thin enough to use as a dress watch?
@@UA-camuser1aa It's held up fantastically. The finishing is still excellent, and the polished areas are very well placed and don't end up being scratched much if at all (certainly not on the bracelet). It's definitely thin enough to slide under a cuff, although it's a bit too sporty to do that with proper formal wear, imo, and although it's fairly thin, it still sits a bit higher on the wrist because of the way that the bracelet interacts with the case (my only real complaint of the watch). But it's definitely still one of my favorites in my collection and regularly receives compliments from others.
The display case back is surprisingly handsome. Well done, Tissot.
sheeter. buy seiko
@@BobbyDazzler888 Lol, you got that backwards, fool. Seiko makes the shitter watches. Enjoy your 10 cent movement in a 1k watch that used to be $300 watch three years ago.
@@ams914 you take this shit too seriously
Hello, I purchased the blue automatic watch. When I was sixteen my dad gave me a seiko with a waffle dial in blue, it was the beginning of my love affair with watches. I am 58 and still adding more watches to the collection. Teddy, I love your videos and reviews.
I love the look of the design of the modern retro 80's PRX, either quartz battery or mechanical. If I had to choose one it would be the blue dial but by only a small margin, the mechanical waffle version over the quartz flat version. This is definitely a great watch for daily office wear and out and about. The beauty of the mechanical is that just wind it, set it and wear it, no battery worries here but you will have to set it more often than the quartz one.
I came back to this video to say thank you, Teddy! I ordered a silver dial PRX earlier this week from your website and it just arrived today. I am thrilled with this purchase. It’s the first over $500 watch I’ve bought for myself. I spent hours on your channel researching options in that price range and landed on this one and could not be happier. Thank you!
From one Clevelander to another, keep warm, stay safe, and continue cranking out excellent content.
Finally… so nice automatics… We need a waffle green one too ! And two tone options on all colours
Thanks Teddy for making this video so well-explained and making me fall in love with the new PRX Powermatic 80 version. The waffle dial and automatic movement makes me wanna buy it more!
Bought the silver dial quartz version at the Tissot flagship store in NYC. It’s a beautiful watch, reminds me of the Oysterquartz. After many mechanical watches, this Tissot became my first quartz purchase.
Oysterquartz, that's the one. I knew the white dial reminded me of something, but I couldn't put my finger on it
Great looking design, really nice details in the case and bracelet construction, and even a display caseback and a surprisingly good looking movement for $650. Wow. This looks like a winner for Tissot.
Much appreciated detail: The two wrist shots of different wrist sizes. Quite helpful.
Just bought this watch as my first investment into an automatic. Initial impressions are that it is gorgeous. bracelet looks incredible, love the dial design, seems well made, retro yet modern in ways. Excited that it should pair well with just about everything but a suit.
What a stunning watch! I think I've finally found my first Tissot. 🤩 Great video!
Eiiii it's Frankie
How was it? Happy for ya!
2nd for me. I inherited my first one after I bought it for my grandfather and he preferred my G-Shock so he took it off my wrist
@@elcid8943 love this watch! Don’t use as much as I’d like, but it’s still terrific!
@@FrankieTech thanks for the response!
Tissot, probably more than any other Swiss watch maker, has served as the gateway for neophytes with modest incomes to get into to the world of Swiss watch collecting. So many other Swiss watch makers make the barrier to entry so expensive, that for nascent watch enthusiasts with not much discretionary income, it becomes discouraging. That is why I love it when UA-cam channels do videos on Tissot. They deserve the exposure. Thank you Teddy for being one of the more vocal proponents of Tissot watches.
For me Tissot was. I still got my Seastar660. I think I paid 225 dollars and thought it as like all the money in the world. Looking back I remember, the lady gave tried to sell me a Rolex Submariner and I think it was about 4-5K back in 2004 LOL.
💯💯💯💯
Oh yes modest households.but still my bet.would be on a Wenger. Completely built in Swiss and 150 price point.tissot though is more rich and middle to high income type
Got the PRX quarts because I wanted a watch that is robust. But I ended up loving it's look so much, the retro 70/80's style fits the quarts movement so well!
I even made me want more, Maurice Lacroix Aikon is next on my list due to this watch.
After seeing this video a a couple of weeks ago I Just picked one up today at a local Tissot dealer, absolutely love it everything you said it was and more. Thanks for the informative vids,keep up the good work Teddy.
Your reviews are awesome! You don't miss out on any points, always thinking of the consumer. Thank you.
Teddy, you really look delighted reviewing this new release! Your enthusiasm for watches is a real happiness for your viewers. 👏👏
I really like this watch. It is a great every day watch that is equally at home with casual, business casual or dressy attire. And for the right price, I might buy either the quartz or the auto.
Just bought it a week ago (blue dial) beautiful watch!! The photos and video don’t make it justice, in person it looks incredible. I’ve worn it a couple of days to shopping malls and I noticed some people staring really hard at my wrist maybe thinking it is a Royal Oak 😅
The shape of the case and bracelet, it’s like it was poured onto your wrist. What a beautiful piece! I have a Seiko 5 (SNK665Mmmmm) with the exact same style case and it’s so comfortable I forget it’s on!
Called Tissot AD in my town yesterday to call me when quartz version arrives. I must say after few years of mechanical watches I am going back to quartz. In my job accuracy is important so I got tired to use mobile phone or laptop to see exact time when I am working. End Of Life function on quartz Is also great feature.
just got my prx powermatic 80 and am loving it and it fit so well right outta the box
I bought this watch last Saturday and needless to say it did not disappoint. I wears way more expensive than it's is and will definitely be a staple in my collection, love it .
Yesterday I broke down and ordered blue PRX with the leather strap instead of the bracelet. I wanted to go back and watch Teddy's review from when this was released. I'm glad he addressed the strap situation, as that had been a concern of mine. However, I found a company in Europe (they also do business via Etsy) that is making an adapter for the PRX so that a standard watch strap or NATO strap can be used with it. Etsy had quite a few photos of it used on several watches, and I must say it finished so well that you'd be excused for thinking it came from Tissot. It's fairly small, but looks like a thin link where it joins the case, just enough to allow for standard pins. Now, for a small watch part, a pair of them come in at little over $100 USD, but they are custom built and finished for the PRX. Still, it's worth it to allow for a more flexible choice of straps (which are still in 2022 few and far between, usually bespoke items beyond the replacement straps offered by Tissot). The company is called aqNaut, and they also make adapters for integrated watches such as Oris.
Bought this blue variant as my first ever automatic watch this week.. Awesome watch.. Love it so much..
Love how you show the watch on a 6.25" wrist.
Yes, finally! I’ve been waiting for this video. Great review, thanks again Teddy.
Yay, you the man for this review.
This is an old video, but I finally saw the automatic in the metal. It's really attractive, and the integrated bracelet works extremely well.
Thank you so much for the review. I got the quartz one and now want to change it/upgrade to try powermatic 80. Love ur reviews !!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this watch from you Teddy ! Great video as usual.
Great move from Tissot.
I own an omega seamaster ST 366.0847, I would say it’s the biggest inspiration tissot had in designing this watch.
Props for making all three tick in unison!!!!!! Love it!
wow , they all looked beautiful , but my two favourites are the quartz blue , & the white with gold edging powermatic one , i seem to be really hooked on blue at the moment , hubbys just bought me a blue dial maurice loqoix quartz mens date watch , & i love it .
Hi Teddy, I’ve been looking into the PRX80 for a while now, and today I purchased one. Very happy would be an understatement. I’ve got (what I feel) is a great collection of time pieces but this one I’ve been most excited about and at a fraction of what the others have cost me. It speaks for itself - in house movement, 80 hours reserve, wears like a 42mm, looks the part and above all feels great on my wrist.
Thanks for the great videos and content, keep up the great and informative work! Jared
How’s the accuracy?
I bought this watch today and absolutely love it. Thanks for the advice Teddy. Blue dial ❤️
Great video Teddy! When you first started doing a videos I didn't know what to think of you but now I think you have ripened into an absolute beast and have jumped into my top three watch guys... well, top 2 GUYS... since I put Jenni in my top three now! Keep up the great work!
Just got this watch! And for the money your getting every thing that other brands charge triple for , amazing watch, quality looks, solid brand, all for a price that is more affordable for the every day person 👍🔥🔥🔥
I own the blue one since Wednesday and it’s a fantastic piece. Can recommend it 100%.
Love Tissot. I have the Powermatic Silicium. They offer a beautiful watch for a very good price.
Basically an affordable VC 222 and I'm all here for it! This piece is exquisite!
I will be getting the green dial version. What a wonderful value proposition Tissot - well done! Thx Teddy - keep 'em coming....
The dial on the automatic is one of my favorites on any watch and really makes it stand out that plus automatic easily justifies the price increase
Finally, been waiting for this review
Thanks Teddy
I love me a Tissot Teddy!😍 I’ve got 6 & have been waiting for the PRX80. I don’t favour quartz over mechanical or vice versa, but that second hand sweep on the auto…🤤
I first bought the quarz version and was so happy with it that I also bought the automatic ;) I love this watch and how it feels on my wrist. Thanks for your review!!! Greets from Germany.
❤❤i wore my prx in public yesterday-the coolest thing about this watch( attracted lots of attention )is that it has its own unique beauty !...doesnt look like a homage or a fake watch-i predict that these low prices of the prx line will skyrocket into the wonderful of vanity-and i am a proud owner of the quartz no worries excellance-a watch u can quickly grab and go out without the hassle of setting the time or adjusting-this watch will transform the efficiency of wearing an attractive lightweight thin timepiece !!
As a guy with larger wrists I appreciate when the lug to lug spacing is bigger, whereas most 40mm models I try tend to look too small.
After watching numbers of reviews…
I finally ordered mine today. I think I have made a right decision so eagerly waiting now.
This is my first Swiss watch and I think my entry to this world will be greater experience with Tissot .
Cheers everyone who already own this classic watch and cheers to all who have already ordered and waiting for their like me .
Was waiting for your review because of these amazing visuals 💯
I am in my 40s and IMHO the silver dial looks very suitable at my age..Thanks Teddy
Can’t wait for mine in september. I ordered the one with the blue dial. It just looks so fine for the price…
This is definitely going to be my first swiss every day watch at the price point I feel it will make for a great everyday watch with a unique design again at the price point.
Great buy and great review
Love how you showcase timepieces, Teddy. I am a big fan of what you do, as you have really helped pique my interest in horology. I wanted to suggest for future reviews showing larger wrist sizes. It seems like 6" -6.5" wrists are most often showcased, but if you offer more variety and some examples in the 7.25" - 7.5" wrist size, it would be helpful to us who have slightly larger wrists. I will need to find one in person or examples of a larger wrist before pulling the trigger, but if all works well, I will add this to the collection.
This watch is beautiful! I actually bought it as a gift and then ended up keeping it for myself. The integrated bracelet fits like a glove once sized properly. I got a killer deal on it as well; Bloomingdales had a 25% off sale during the holidays and I had bought my wife a nice coat the day before which gave us $200 worth of Bloomingdales loyalty points through the app so it ended up coming out to $370.
You kept it for yourself? HAHAHA!! That was a good one. I just ordered the blue dial one a couple of days ago. It should be here next week. Only heard good things.
Literally did the same deal myself and got for the same price point last weekend at Bloomingdale’s, as well. I’m in love with it! My first mechanical watch ❤
Thank you for covering the silver dial! Every video ive seen has only covered the blue and black.
I want the silver, it really pops!
Have the older Tissot luxury powermatic 80. Solid.
They're really nice but the main aspects I'm drawn to are the waffle dials and the bracelet so the automatic is my preferred model, mostly because I'm really wanting a Royal Oak style piece. Would be good to comapre with the Maurice Lacroix Aikon which is similar to a Royal Oak too
I just bought this one. It’s really big but really nice.
It’s fun to have something people can actually buy. Fun watch.
I have the 35mm green dial quartz, and it is quite nice. A little smaller and sleeker than my automatic watches, and it looks great. Wouldn't mind getting the PRX chrono in the future when the price comes down.
Beautiful piece and great review Teddy.
Thanks for the video. This has been on my short list since the quarts came out as I figured they would follow with a mechanical. Thanks again for the video's, have a great day.
Love the waffle dial - i might have to pick this one up. Great style, great value.
Beautiful watch. Looks like I'll be buying my second Powermatic 80 soon. Thanks for the review.
Brought one today got the blue dial looks amazing love it
Finally got it today. This is the first watch I purchase brand new in a jewelry shop and I’m loving it.
What size?
@@imeaniguess1876 Sold it, one year after my purchase. Still into watches, but my tastes have changed a lot.
Thank you 🙏 love your videos! Thanks to your video I bought both Quartz & Automatic Blue dial all the way
Nice comparison on quartz vs mechanical. while the quartz makes logical sense over the powermatic, I’d have to go with the latter. The waffle pattern really made the watch for me. The other a bit too plain, but at $375 what a cool design and execution. I’m waiting for my FC Highlife red bar edition though I haven’t seen it in person. Any comments?
I just ordered mine from Teddy so cool I’ve always wanted to pick up a watch from you I’m excited
Very good review Teddy, thanks for your time! after see this I will go for the mechanical!. warm greetings from Paraguay!
I have the black dial version. It’s pretty amazing. And this powermatic movement is pretty awesome. Feels great on a 7.25 wrist.
how is it after a year?
@@kyuj2884 I love it. Not sick of it at all. Wearing it right now. It’s my every day watch. Keeps great time. Have picked up Tissot’s black leather band for it too for when I feel I need to change it up a bit.
@@gzygouris appreciate it man!
What size did you get and what’s your wrist size in cm?
I'm wearing a Tissot Bridgeport Automatic obviously and i really believe as i'm analyzing the quality of their pieces that they offer luxury for the price... Seriously mind blowing i give them 9/10. Stunning quality.
Your shirt matches the dial! Nicely done Teddy :)
Thanks for the update and information on these Tissot watches. Job well done.
I pre ordered blue 80 and was worried about the size.
I have 6.75 inch wrists and it fits perfectly, lug to lug is great.
I’m sold on the blue Powermatic. Will be picking it up from your website shortly. Great videos!
I got the quartz white (really silver) dial, and I was surprised how well it reads in all light, one thing I was afraid of is a lack of any anti-reflective coating but it sure looks like there is some to me...... Like some other reviews, mine bought from Tissot official dealer has misalignment on the seconds hand but only from 55-59 which for me is not acceptible per se' but i can deal with it at this price point.
Love the white dial, didn't bother with the automatic since I have an 15000ST already and just want a watch I can wear in ALL situations without worrying about losing my kid's college tuition from my wrist. I would recommend it.
I just ordered this watch from your website. this is my first legit watch. hopefully this is the start of a new addiction!!
Hi Teddy, great review. I guess now having a choice of quartz or mechanical at their respective price points is a good thing but also a dilemma regarding vfm. I like the styling of this watch, definitely retro as opposed to an AP or Nautilus which are still current design classics. This design while harking back to the 70's reminds me of the Zenith Defy (a positive). It's worth noting that both Rotary and Ingersoll offer another twist on Genta design in mechanical versions at an even cheaper price point.
It's the nicest watch i've ever owned. I love how it fits.
Your review of the orient Kamasu is what started my watch collection. Greetings from Australia 👍
Really cool watch directly from the last century. I think it will be my first mechanical watch😍
I bought the Powermatic rubber bank and love it. Good everyday beater that still signals sensibility. My other watches are at a higher price point where scratches, an impromptu dip in the ocean, showering, working out etc would muck them up. I feel like I can wear this watch anywhere in my regular routine and switch out to my dress watch or conversation starters or my watches that signal status when required. Fun, low maintenance, respectable watch. One of my favorites...would recommend to friend or stranger. I've thought about buying the steel band just for variety but not a huge fan of steel bands.
Mine just arrived. I would say because of the slightly heavier weight of the auto, it feels that little bit more quality. fits my 7.5 inch great, but if you have a skinny wrist it could look a bit big. i bought this as a stop gap before slowly saving for an AquaTerra green dial. i think it will be my daily wear for quite a while
Another great video, Teddy. Thank you
I've hesitated a long time but I've decided on the quartz. For me it'll be more of a weekend watch and I know if I need to wind it up more often than not I just won't wear it... not to mention I feel this a a much closer homage to the Oysterquartz than it is to the Royal Oak.
The oysterquartz was a homage to the Royal Oak itself. Tissot had it's own version in the 70's which this design is almost identical to. I prefer Tissot version to Rolex.
You can microadjust PRX bracelet with removal of different sized links near the clasp. They have those smaller links symmetrically on both sizes. So you may remove one regular link or the smaller one. Or big and small instead of two big ones
The shape of the case and integrated bracelet reminds me of an Omega my parents gave me for my 21st birthday several decades ago. Sadly the watch was stolen. Although not exactly the same, I am considering this watch as a reminder of my original. Will have to see one in person to make a decision.
Great review Teddy! Very tempted to get one
I absolutely love this watch, to be honest I don't really care about the automatic movement but I do love the waffle pattern dial. If they made the waffle pattern in a quartz that would be my ideal combination and price point. However, since the waffle pattern is only available in the automatic that's the one I'm going to be getting.
Yeah for me the waffle alone makes it worth it, the standard dial just looks boring and its a huge difference
Just grabbed one! Thanks Teddy 🤘🏼
Been waiting on this one 🙌🏼
Grabbed one yesterday! Nice shirt btw, matches the watch texture!
Can’t decide between the blue or the black tbh…so beautiful
Best thing I like about the PRX is the shape and length of its hands. I love long reaching watch hands much as I hate the stupidly short hands found in most Casios.
Thanks for sharing!
This design is not my cup of tea but I appreciate a little more seing what Tissot is doing with them on the inside.
Awesome review Ted. Thank you.
i just bought the automatic for my first automatic watch, really happy
Bought a green 40mm automatic as a 50th birthday gift. Got it for 488 in the UK using the blue light discount card.
