I have a 7.5” wrist and own the 40mm variant; I’ve just ordered the new 35mm auto after trying it on as it wears so much better imo.
I own this model in blue and have a 6.25 inch and its one of the most comfortable watches ive worn .
Awesome to hear! I figure that’s gonna be the case for a lot of people
It's a "Normal" size Watch. They way they are "Meant" to be.
Hey nice to hear that, Could you please tell me what size of bracelet you ordered? since I ordered 18 cm, but it feels loose on my wrist.
Sublime review as usual. Delivered in a measured unbiased manner. Thank you!
Thank you very much for watching!
Been waiting on a good review of this, thanks!
Thanks for watching! Hope I could help.
Great video. I love the detail you go into on these reviews.
Appreciate it! Always consider cutting the details but sometimes just need to do it all just because 😂. Will likely start doing a supplementary video that is a quick 5 minute look instead of 20 minute review but we’ll see
Wow, you do such a great job reviewing the watch. It’s greatly appreciated. I do think this watch is a set up for a 37.5 mm version with different dial colors.
Spot on review! I tried one one and I agree that it wears smaller than its size, the bracelet is silky smooth and it is a comfortable watch to wear.
Nice! And glad I’m not going insane 😂 got some people I’m the field to back me up
Superb review, as usual. Even at a 7 inch wrist, for me this is absolutely the size to get
Thank you! And nice to see people opting for the smaller size. You could definitely go either way. Which version would you get?
@@theknightswatch the 35mm all gold quartz version is the one I'd be plonking my cash down for I think. Because sure why not
@@mikexmartinart that one’s pretty great. I hate gold and ended up really liking that one when I reviewed it.
Thanks for reviewing this, I just picked up the 40 mm version about 2 months ago, and it fits my six and three quarter inch wrist just fine, however, I think I would like to maybe pick up a 35 mm. I had also been eyeballing the 34 mm Tudor Royal as I think I can pull that one off pretty well
Of course and The Royal I haven’t completely fallen for yet, I’m not typically a Roman numeral person but maybe if they come out with another variation that’ll be more for me.
Another amazing video brother 👏
Thank you my man. Got to check out that latest pelican video. Always looking for good storage options when I inevitably end up with too many watches 😂
@@theknightswatch 😂
The bracelet looks quite nice and slinky, it's funny I was thinking about your AP review whilst watching this, it's nice that you review very expensive pieces as well as much more affordable ones, a good contrast, thanks.
And thank you for watching. Funnily enough I’d wear this over the royal oak 😂 I’m sure not everyone agrees but hey watch collecting is all personal opinion really
I have the original 40mm and like it. I have a 6.75” wrist, and I think the 35mm would be a fun/classic size, but I want to try it on first.
Great review like always.
Nice! I think it would fit you and would be interesting as a “dressier” option to the 40. Be curious to hear what you think when you get it on wrist!
Same boat, I think 35mm is a bit too small for 6.75". It already looks quite small on OP's 6.5" wrist. Maybe a 37" next year.
@@hansenluu I do think a 37mm would be perfect. I have been looking at a 37mm Citizen Chronomaster recently. Maybe one of the AQ4080 watches.
@@hansenluu exactly hopefully tissot comes out with something in between. If Tudor and Rolex can make a million sized I think tissot can survive with one more 😂
Really enjoy these reviews. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Hope you continue to enjoy them.
6.5” wrist and the 35 works great for me. Slightly thinner and 1 or 2mm larger would be nice, but on the whole it is an awesome watch. Gaining less than 2 seconds a day, btw. 😊
Too small or not?
I think this is really subjective. If you have small sized wrists 35 is just perfect, and even with medium sized ones it fits well.
Everything else is just fashion and habit: it's more or less 35 years that watch producers told us that men watches have to be "big" (even uneccessarily and inconveniently big) but 40 years ago 35 mm was just the standard for men dress watches even for bigger wrists...so, better 40 or 35? Just take the one you like!
I think Tissot 35 mm looks like 36-37 mm. It is not too small.
i think the dial makes it look small especially in dark colors
The 35mm is perfect size wise imo.
Best reviewer coming in with another great review! Love this one although I'm not sure if I should get it along my gold 35mm PRX or trade it in
Haha thanks. I think having both would be a little too much but only you can answer that!
Really astute comparison to the SARB! Didn't occur to me until you said it, but it totally makes sense given the market both are aimed at!
Thank you! Kinda popped into my head in the moment and made a lot of sense. Another cult classic do anything kinda watch
Really comprehensive review as always Xavier. Have been a bit on the fence, but now I see it on your wrist, I might just be sold especially after hearing how comfortable it is on you. I mean 37 would have been a tiny bit more enticing. Still need to encounter one in person.
See if you can find one and let me know what you think! I do absolutely like the 35 and it gives it an almost dressier sporty watch feel. But a third option is needed in the range I think
I would love to see it next to the quartz. I think I would go quartz just because when you get small the thickness starts to stand out more but I can watch your older gold and green 35mm PRX review and without it being right next to it its hard to tell. Tissot knocked it out of the park IMO and you really can't get better for an affordable (arguable) watch.
I know as I was reviewing it I was thinking man I wish I had the quartz, that’s the drawback to having to buy everything to review, can’t keep them all! I will say for some reason it did feel different and potentially smaller than the quartz but they could’ve just been my brain making things up. I’m very curious to know if the dial diameters are the same.
@@theknightswatch you don't think it's the lighter dial looking bigger than the dark green dial? I tried the Mother of pearl dial and the blue dial 35 mm versions at the store and the MOP dial looks a tiny bit larger
@@madsdrastrup could absolutely be part of it but I want to say that’s not all it is. I’ve taken a look at a lot of watches so something like that usually doesn’t throw me too much but remembering how a watch wears from memory can be a tricky thing 😂
Quartz Watches are Toy Watches.
How do you feel about plastic in the movement?
At 12:38 you state that you have a 6.5" wrist, but at 12:49 you state that you have a 6" wrist. Which one is it?
I’m wearing them at different positions on my arm at each of those times stamps. In the first on my wrist bone, where I typically wear a watch, it’s 6.5. When I move the watch up, like I say at 12:49, it’s closer to 6
@theknightswatch Thanks for clarifying. I have a 6.5" wrist as well, in the part of the wrist where your's is 6", so your videos help me with envisioning how the watch will look on my wrist. May I ask why you wear your watches so low on your wrist? Most people wear them in the part of the wrist where your's is 6" so the crown doesn't dig into the hand.
@@asvpab to me I just like the look visually. Less disconnected feeling where you see arm, watch, then wrist, and hand. It just goes more arm, watch, hand.
What watch did you compare the size to? That sector dial is killer!
Thanks! Made by branch horology from Canada
I'm going to go against the grain here and say it would be nice to see a sub-35mm PRX. I think the 40mm is good for men with huge massive 9 inch wrists, the 35mm is ideal for most, and something smaller is needed for petite ladies.
I tried 35 and 40 on in the shop and although the 40 wasn't "too large" I thought the 35 looked nicer
Just classier overall when it’s a little smaller for sure
I think a 36-37mm would be more sweet spot. But definitely appreciate Tissot for delivering a smaller Powermatic.
Have the same watch and loving it. Curious your thoughts on the green dial, if you find it harder to match than the blue for example, and what you would wear with it?
Happy to hear your enjoying yours! I personally feel since it’s such a dark green it can be worn similarly to a black dial. Just put it on and wear it and it’ll go with most things. If your in head to toe blue maybe it’s not perfect but should be ok for most things
Great detailed review!
The unsatisfactory winding experience is due to the gasket resistance, quite typical for a small non screw down crown.
Could be, never put that together.
Is it really that small?
I just bought the 35 mm and I'm a little concerned about that, my wrist is 6.6" (16.8 cm)
Unfortunately Im pretty sure the 40 is too big for me
It’s definitely smaller but I think you could get used to it
best watch reviews hands down
Thank you man, too kind. Hopefully they continue that way 😂
It retails for only 695 dollars? Did they increase their prices by now?
In Germany it costs 775 € which would be about 838 USD.
PS : am giving the 40mm green to a friend tonight for his birthday. But this could go either way. Love it or hate it. Hoping for the former. ( he’s about 7” wrist, so the 35 wasn’t an option really. 🤞🏻
I think the 40 will fit perfectly. Awesome watch to get. Let me know how it goes!
@@theknightswatch he loves it!
I have 7 inch wrists, but they aren't wide so the 40mm looked ridiculous. I went for 35mm and no regrets!
I am nearly 8 inch wrist and I prefer the 35 mm .. much more jewelry style which I prefer for a dressier watch
i got the new light blue one in 35. I do wish it was slightly larger, but it's very comfortable and I get compliments on it often.
I have a 4 inch wrist. Will the 35mm be too big for me ?
It may be, might just have to try it on and see. But probably pushing it
Perfection❤
Damn wow happy to find the unofficial small wrist dude community here. Rockin 7" myself thinking this will probably be perfect on me
What is the name of first watch that you compare it?
It’s branch horology out of canada
Definitely a nice-looking watch. However, 35 mm is a bit too small. At least for me.
Definitely not for everyone. It’s the real gentleman size though
I held one at the mall, and I have to say that it is too small for me. I much rather the larger version. Then again, I have an 8” wrist.
Oh ya for an 8in wrist I would recommend looking at this one. But to each their own, sometimes people like the small look 🤷🏻♂️
For some? Yes, it is. Me being one of them. Nut i also think the 40mm is slightly too big for most and wish they would produce a 38mm
Agreed with you I mentioned at some point tissot needs to make a model in between the two but whether or not that makes financial sense who knows 🤷🏻♂️
How tall are you with 6.5"wrist
About 5’8”
i like
Im broke idk why im watching this lol
For some reason the smaller size makes it look very formal.
first time when i opened the box and saw the size of the prx powermatic 80 , i felt omg they sent me by mistake the 35mm one and i don’t have a big wrist . The 40mm is just perfect for any type of wrist .
6” wrist and I am feel it’s too small for me. Might have to wait another year for 3738……
I get ya! Hopefully tissot released another size!
Do you think they will relase be a 37 or 38mm PRX?
Crown looks disproportionately wide/thick.
I'd gladly pay 50% more if the movement wasn't unserviceable. Pity it is.
What do u mean
looks tiny.. maybe the right size for an elf
Elf market is untapped
Great for my 5.5 idc 💪🏻😂
Haha absolutely it’s gonna for you great. Which version you thinking of?
This sexy green of course 👌🏻 thanks for the tremendous macros
@@MarcelitoRecords I may be biased but sounds like a good choice 😂 of course glad it helped
Ladies ?
