Bought mine in summer of 2023. Powermatic 80 silver/green waffle. For such a simple clean watch I have gotten so many compliments. It’s such a versatile piece goes with any outfit, and comes in so many different looks to suit your style. One of the best watches for the price!
I don't get the prx hate, it's an amazing watch. Perfect for pretty much any occasion, wears extremely comfortable, offered at a very reasonable price point...I own a lot of watches and my prx is my favorite hands down
@@aleksandarivanovic5792 Just like what most have said; there are plastic parts in most things these days including cars. The parts that are plastic is a PTFE based material which is highly resistant to mechanical wear. The movement in my PRX gets +2 seconds a day flat, and +0.5 on its side - which is really impressive.
I'll clarify for all. Prx automatic has eta 2824 version 2. Eta 2824 Swiss movement belongs to many entry to mid Swiss watches. Older tag n omega used eta 2824 movement. Excellent value for 1000 dollar watch
I have worries about the plastics parts in the movement, but I really like the waffle dial and the metal around the date. Do you think the movement is reliable despite the plastic parts? I wouldn't mind having to go exclusively to the official Tissot service in the future. The truth is that I always prefer to go to official services.
The plastic isn’t under hundreds of pounds of force. Plus it’s still a 2824, one of the most common movements ever made. Finding replacement parts during a service couldn’t be easier
I have several Tissot watches with this plastic escapement, the oldest of which is now 5 years old and has not yet been serviced. The all run within the exact same +5 Seconds a day and I had no issues at all yet. A full service is 220€ at my local Tissot AD and they will just replace the whole movement. You can also upgrade the movement to a higher grade Powermatic 80 or other 2824 based movement without plastic parts.
Prx is undoubtedly the best among them, but why not Citizen as an alternative? I am a Tsuyosa owner and I am very pleased with it. It has a problem-free mechanism. I think Citizen meets the expectations more than enough. I don't think there are many differences between them.
I'm hoping for Tissot to release a Mother of Pearl waffle dial in the 40mm PRX Automatic 80. If not by next year I may pull the trigger on the Ice Blue or regular Blue dial :)
Thank you for the question. Using plastic pallet fork might sound concerning, since escapements need the most maintenance because wears the most, regardless of material but using plastic in the escapement can actually require less frequent servicing because they need less lubrication and create less friction. Nevertheless ,from what i know, Tissot and Swatch Service Centers often replace the whole movement during servicing. These used movements are then reconditioned and put back into other Tissot, Swatch, and even some Omega watches. However, owning this watch for over two years now, i didn't notice any issues whatsoever. Regards
@@timepieceofart 💯40 mm only looks big when you take a photo or video while wearing it but in real life it’s good. Same with 35 mm, when you take a photo of it looks good on your wrist but it’s smaller in real life. I think it’s the illution due to its shape. For first time buyers, I recommend trying it on your nearest retailer or shops and don’t base it on the pictures online.
@@rrotua well put and excellent advise...in person the 35mm was way to small for my taste and the 40mm looks perfect, but took a picture of the 40mm on my wrist and it told a different story and looks too big, so I also recommend on trying the sizes on in person before purchase if possible :)
@@SSponger That’s right. I decided on what’s good on me in actual. I don’t care already if looks a little bigger on pic 😅 and it’s not that bad. I love it and it has an AP vibe.
Hi How are you I love the 40 prx powermatic 80 , but more than 10 videos on youtube talks about plastic parts in it .. and I was afraid from buying this model .. Can you tell me more about this issue and should I have to afraid from it ? I think about buying a MIDO multifort TV watch instead of prx 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Thank you for your comment. I think that the plastic part issue is nothing to be concerned about, but honestly only time will tell how reliable those parts are. Generally, plastic parts dont need to be lubricated, so in theory should last longer. I have owned this watch for over 2 years without any issues. I think the only negative think is that the movement, in case of a mechanical problem,can only be serviced by Tissot because it lacks a easy opening caseback. Hope this helps, personally i highly recommend this watch
Over 2 years of use, i had no significant issues. If you like the overall quality of the watch, don't obsess over the plastic parts in the movement. If i had to choose, i would go powermatic over swissmatic
I have 6 inch wrist and I chose the 40 mm. I tried both and the 35 mm looks like a ladies watch on me. 40mm looks big when you take a photo of it but in person it’s perfect.
Honestly, i leave the scratches on all my stainless steel bracelets as a reminder of a time well spent with the watch. Maybe you should visit your AD to have tou bracelet polished.
A little bit of abrasive metal polish and a cloth and rub up and down very hard.. tookk out all the scratches on mine.. bracelet looks shinier but it'll fade back over time
unfortunately any watch bracelet is prone to scratches no mater what brand, make or model...but I just try to avoid the big dings with table tops and door knobs and the fine tiny scratches are just the normal wear of us enjoying our watches regularly. Each light scuff is a badge of honor :)
yeah nah.. 1) the movement is non servicable due to Tissots modification to enable 80 hours power reserve on a budget with plastic parts inside .. why do you think do high end brands have 70-80 hours movements that cost 20 times more.. 2) the bracelet has NO micro adjustments which made is very uncomfortable for me while my wrist shrinks and expands during the day (work/freetime/sport/evening) 3) the bracelet may look nice but is very think and feels cheap.. 4) the dial is nuce but the lume is garbage 5) the lug to lug is absolutely ridiculous for the 40mm version its 54mm with the endlings.. thats like some invicta watch ☠️ it made my pretty average 6'5-6'7 wrist seem tiny because of the size of that thing.. i had to return the watch because of all these issues. the 35mm variant came much later but still had the movement problem . 6) antireflective coating is lame. hard to see the time on the darker colors like blue and green i got an Unimatic U1 for the same proce and it has solid bracelet with micro adjustments, much better AR coating and lume better by miles.. has only a seiko nh35 -42hours movement but is serviceble .. and built quality is much better. pretty close to a Tudor Black Bay 58
At the end, is a matter of personal preference, regarding the design. I agree that the use of plastic parts may be an issue in the future. Btw, I complement your choice of watches Unimatic U1 looks stunning, honestly i havent seen on "in the wild"😀
@@timepieceofart thnx mate, yes its a rare sight, built quaility is amazing for the price. the only negative thing is, the built quaoity comes with a weight.. adding the solid bracelet the watch is a bit heavy but i get used to it... another recent alternative to the PRX is the Citizen Super Titanium which looks even better than the PRX in my opinion but the clasp looks cheap..
@@matts8791 200-250€ to swap the entire movement.. yeah 🤣 you call that a service ? just checked the pricing at their site.. for a 500€ you can service a Rolex Datejust... 250€ is crazy for a cheap watch brand if you ask me..
Why are people obsessed with it having plastic in it? It’s a lower end Swiss watch that’s more than the sum of its parts. That’s like complaining a coffee has water in it.
Ita not about the plastic on its own. Collectors like to know that they arw buying a watcg that well cared for will last years. PRX will last but it wont have the original movement because every time you service it the movement will be removed and replaces with brand new one and the old one will be send to the factory...this takes from the magic....

I would buy another one in 2024. I still think it looks better than citizen.
Very similar watches in terms of retro look, but i also think the PRX looks better, hence the price
Wow beautiful video, for a beautiful elegant watch.
Thank you for the kind words. Cheers
I like their design, I would get the 35mm green powermatic if the prx wasn't so common to see, I prefer more off the radar watches
Its hard not to notice the PRX, extremely popular watch. I dont know how many people can pull a 36mm watch
I bought a used automatic MOP for half the retail price on ebay and couldn't be happier.
Are you sure it’s real eBay is flooded with fakes. Check the serial number and movement

How about accuracy? I have purchase mine since 2 years. When was new it was -47 secs per month. Now....-13secs per day...
Those are clear signs of problem with the movement. In my case, i don't have any issues with the accuracy, it is within the stated range by Tissot.
