This is the last video with our old audio setup, from now on the audio should be silky smooth!
Did you know that the automatic version has plastic in the mechanism and designed to not be serviceable just a throwaway and that is the reason why I would not buy the watch
Surprised not many people talk about the white face. That is pure class imo. On the quartz, it looks like more like a silver face and its insane how beautiful it is under any light
You mean that mother of pearl look?
I actually like the cleaner simple face of the quartz version over the automatic. Simple and clean
yeh i tried out both and got hooked on the automatic's look.
they make the automatic with the smooth face in blue, green, sliver, black. I got the blue one
@@bt-xv1fywhere’d you see that
@@oliverfinkelstein8826 I got it on a royal Caribbean cruise, they had a the green and black also. I got the only blue one. Its on their website also.
I purchased the new 35mm PRX, quartz version, just over a week ago, & it's never been of my wrist since. I absolutely love everything about it, the styling, the size, the quality of the watch, the intergrated bracelet. A stunning piece to add to anyone's collection.
thinking of getting it as my first watch thanks
How has the bracelet hold up with scratches?? I heard the metal brushed finished is a scratch magnet?? It’s my only worry I have before purchasinft
@@lmaoboy8546 I was worried about scratches too, but mine seems to have held up pretty well.
Isn't 35mm on the smaller side?
@@JakeGittes84 yeah it is on the small size, but purfect for my small wrist. They do have the larger 40mm size available too.
The only thing that made me choose the automatic version was the dial. I'm not a huge fan of flat sunburst dials, so I went with the Powermatic 80 with the blue waffle dial. It's an amazing watch if you recall that it only costs somewhere around 600-650€. The accuracy is very good too at +2.4 seconds per day in my case.
That's fantastic accuracy -- definitely worth it cause that beautiful dial
@@Mebble Yes indeed, that’s more accurate than my Explorer 1 🤯
Now it costs 750 wtf
650€ is a fuckton of money for a watch
@@ayudaporfavor It depends on who you ask! I was comparing the price to let’s say an Omega or a Rolex, which are fucktons of money more 😁
Currently wearing the powermatic 80 in blue, no regrets, a beauty, my signature piece ❤️
I bought quartz version as my first watch a week ago. Couldn’t be happier. The automatic has indeed a more “alive” feel to it, but I like the clean look more. I don’t think I would find nicer watch for this price.
You know, you combine and talk about my 2 passions: watches and cars haha. Got yourself a new subscriber!
I've got the 35mm PRX quartz. I chose this version because it is way more practical (and the price helps of course). The only I do prefer about the automatic version is the dial, it is really nice!
Which dial did you get?
Love both, although yet to try on the wrist! Drawn to the auto, but there is always room for a few quartz pieces in the collection. In fact wearing a Marathon General purpose quartz at the moment 👌. However, if I had to choose one it would be the auto with the deep forest green dial. It’s on my shortlist and CH Silverburn is just down the road 😉
On the wrist today is the G-Shock GA-B2100. Great comparison between these two options, weighing this up for a while and they both look great but I’m leaning more toward the quartz, more to do with the whole life cost, cheaper to buy, cheaper to service (just change the battery) plus, the quartz model is more in keeping with the original from the late 70’s. TTFN
My thoughts exactly about the homage to its own brand rather than homage to you know who with waffle face. Same with the ease of service and the fact it'll be ticking when you pick it up. no winding no setting. Quartz for me.
Just picked up the automatic today in the blue, absolutely love it!
Thanks for this video! This helped me in my decision of which model to buy.
Great video.
excellent presentation and information on the Tissot PRX quartz and automatic
I myself have the Tissot PRX 40 205 Quartz Blue Dial alot of watch from history to craftsmanship to quality from this watch and Tissot.
I own a lot of automatics and one quartz this one
just put it on the wrist and go.
Plus the dial on the prx quartz is amazing 😍 brushed blue black grey dial depends on the light angle same with the bracelet 😍 reminds me more of a Rolex Oyster Quartz.
thank you for the high quality video.
Amazing video. I love the intro music. It's so 70's😍😍
Nice review!
I loved the Mustang analogy, even though I own a V8 and think the Mach E is hideous I still went out and bought the quartz PRX....probably would have gone for the automatic but I'm not a fan of "waffle" dials.
The young man working behind the counter in the jewellers shop I bought it from congratulated me on my choice as he was wearing one as well!
On the wrist at the moment..Rado Ceramica XL.
On my wrist: Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 just bought today, in love with it!
Wearing my Seiko Alpinist in green and gold...love this watch!
I originally thought I’d get the waffle dial version since I thought it looked better in these videos but then when I visited my retailers and saw both versions in person man, I went with the quartz dark green dial PRX
Just bought my powermatic today. Looks amazing with the dark green dial. Feels and fits amazingly as well. I feel safer knowing I don’t have to take it apart to change the battery
Agree with everything you said buddy. I'll go with the quartz. Cheaper, better looking, good quality.
Did you end up buying the quartz? If so do you like it?
@Anthonydp no. Tried the green, blue and black automatic. Seen the quartz and didn't like it. I've put the gentleman silver dial and I pull the trigger. Very happy with it can't take it off my wrist and it's been 6 months
@@nicolofurlan2278 do you purchased the tissot gentleman powermatic 80?
I will be buying a PRX Automatic.
I’m wearing the same Omega Seamaster 300M that you’re wearing, Harrison. Though, I am wearing it with my black Omega silicone band. It is much more comfortable with the band than with the bracelet.
I just subscribed because your name is Harrison. That is my first grandson’s name….😂 Actually - Your presentation has grown on me. Keep up the great content! ✌🏻
Auto for me. Love the rose gold bezel and white dial the most. Love the entire watch except the clasp is just a bit lazy although it does look remarkable when it's on wrist.
hi there... I already have the Tissot gentleman powermatic in blue dial... you think is worth to buy one of these...thinking even about the gold version or you think es better to spend in another type of watch for more or less the same amount of money.. thanks
Currently wearing my seiko 5 sports blue its my first watch and i am very fond of it looking to get either a bulova lunar pilot next or the tissot prx not sure which to go with though
I do like the powermatic 80. That waffle dial is beautiful and the back is lovely.
Rocking the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer (bronze) today. Every time I wear it I feel I need to find my flying goggles :D
I purchased the Tissot PRX 40 205 Quartz in Blue Suneay Brushed dial love it i decided to buy the Tissot PRX 40 Powermatic 80 Blue dial tried it on didn't like the waffle dial. Great video.
Why quartz minute hand always doesn't align with second hand when hit the 60 seconds? Movement issue? Or user doesn't bother to adjust correctly
The blue quartz surprised me how good it looked in person....gave the automatic a run for the money, which is the one I had my heart set on. Then I saw the blue automatic and new I had to have it. A great watch! Looks beutiful and I know I've had a few bad days at work were putting it on has cheered me up!
Wearing my Citizen Promaster Aqualand Dive watch with green and black bezel today. A tough watch...Great to wear when I don't want to risk the PRX getting scratched up.
I choose the quartz because I already have a ton of automatics, including a non-PRX Powermatic 80 watch, and while I love automatics, I'm running out of winders and patience to keep them wound so I can use them anytime. The quarts looks pretty close to the Powermatic version, is a more accurate homage to the 1970s Tissot Seastar since that was a quarts as well, and to top it off, it's ready to go without any fiddling no matter how long it's been in the drawer.
Auto for me. The texture waffle dial really makes this pop.
I'd love to get a 35 PRX 80 Powermatic with a light blue waffle dial. Get your act together Tissot!
Currently wearing a Rotary Regent Automatic, 40mm case, integrated bracelet, but saving for a CW C60 Pro 300 Bronze
What an amazing watch!
The clean dial and the dial of the quartz version emphasize the 70's look of the watch and stick more to the original model
You say that the Quartz Revoloution replaced a lot of automatic watches. My recollection of that time is that manual wind watches were still very much a thing back then. Especially at the lower end of the market. In 1981 went straight from a swiss manual wind to a Japanese quartz watch and was amazed by its accuracy and durability. It wasn't 'technically' more accurate it was demonstrably more accurate than any automatic or manual wind watch I have ever worn.
I always thought that in addition to an automatic movement, the lume is very important as well.
Tissot T660 With the black dial on my wrist, what do you think about it?
I was about to buy the quartz version but now I'm actualy in doubt about what version I prefer 🤦♂
something else to consider is when historical models see re-releases, which one of the two is closest to the original watch, aka the seastar
Great car analogies...thx for the review
Thank you!
Just ordered the Quartz PRX w/blue dial. Wrist check; Timex TW2U11600. Cheers!
Black dial Omega Aqua Terra with the 2500 movement, the first one with a co-axial escapement.
I had the Gold 35mm PRX in quartz, but I gave it to my girlfriend. Then I thought about gettin an automatic now that it comes in 35mm, but I heard Tissot is using plastic parts on this specific movement.... so I decided to wait for the 35mm Tiffany blue quartz PRX. Does anyone know if it will available in a future?
The quartz model has a battery that has to be replace somewhere between 3 and 5 years. How often does the automatic model have to be serviced, and how much does that cost?
Im not crazy about quartz watches. Im currently an automatic Seiko guy myself, but that automatic is sweet. I'm buying that Tissot Automatic.
I have had my eye on this watch for a while. For some reason I want to go with the all gold tone quartz to go full 70's vibe.
Same. I absolutely love how it looks, tried on a 35mm but definitely need the 40mm. Its not an everyday every wear type of look but for certain occasions it stands out
Please put the link of your shirt as well. It's a beautiful shirt.
And thanks for the review.
Love the 80’s retro intro
Hello Chisholm, great video, I enjoy watching your videos. What do you think about the T-Race Moto GP 2018 Special Edition?
My experience with NKUWAN was fantastic. The watch arrived quickly and was exactly as described.
I was gonna get the prx but I saw a Citizen Corso 2 tone diamond on sale almost $200 off so I got that and pan on getting the powermatic later
I'm torn on this...I was going to just get the Quartz...but then they've gone and brought out the auto in that stunning iced blue?
Now I'm thinking the automatic?
Wearing my Nodus avalon v2... for some reason though neither ever called out to me. The tissot just never did it for me.
I think the prx chrono is beautiful. But hands down the quartz is the better looking when compared to the automatic, strangely enough
lovely watches, but have read that the automatic is problematic with adjustments but easy it's manufactured and operates
I would love to have the quartz if it came with waffle dial.
Same here mate! Hopefully they release it soon.
Automatic version for me every time. The waffle dial much more interesting. Wearing my BB58 Navy Blue on a bracelet.
Same and same on wrist watch. Love my bb 58 blue
Notice how the seconds hand on the quartz doesn't line up with the seconds/minutes markers as it goes around. That would tick me off.. 🙂
Just somewhat impulse bought the blue dial powermatic on the bracelet preowned for about half the cost of new. Waiting for it to ship to me right now. I'm hoping it'll be a good fit on my 7.25" wrist. I don't have a blue dial watch yet so it seemed like a good choice. Currently on the wrist is the Seiko SPB143
Where do you buy half price?
I bought it on eBay. I actually just sold it on eBay for $395. It's a great watch it just didn't gel with me for some reason.@@redditwiz
Wrist check, Tissot PRX Automatic (love it)
Very good, informative & interesting review. I'am saving to buy the Quartz model in 35mm.
I recently tried both on at a Jared Jewelers here in Las Vegas. Both wear the same. As I suspected, the flat blue dial of the quarts looks better on wrist than then waffle pattern. I do prefer the framed date window of the auto and I do prefer the automatic movement, but I really don't love the waffle. I am holding out for the 42mm blue panda chrono.
I love the 35mm size but that waffle dial on the automatic version look so much more refined
HEY #nkuwan I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
why didn't you mention that the automatic is Lazer regulated,and the problems that will cause when it needs to be regulated or repaired?
So do you like your steaks cooked Microwave (quartz) or on the grill (auto)? Both will get the thing cooked...
how long does it take to fully charge the auto. I had it on for a week and it still stopped in about 24 hours not 80. I like the auto but I HATE having to adjust it every time I put it on, so I rather have the battery or solar powered, This will be the 1 and only automatic watch I get.
I was about to whip out my charizard when I heard the intro music. Felt like a Pokémon battle
Online all i see is 35mm quartz version and no 40mm ?
Probably a hot take, but I’m not really a fan of waffle dial. If they made an automatic not in a waffle dial I’d be in. On the wrist is the Glycine GL0327 Combat Sub.
On my wirst is the Holzkern Machu ( Automatik) or the Casio GA-2100-1AER I think ( the Steel cased one ).
Awesome review and thanks for sharing big love from Australia 😊😊😊
Thank you so much 🤗
Hm, I think that I will go for the Quartz version. It will not be daily driver so it should be ready to wear without a hustle
I got the quartz one blue. I would like to sell it for the green dial automatic.
I want to buy one of those Two to my 21 Year Old Son currently in the Law School.
What do you think, the Quartz or Automatic?
Thank you for the help.
🤗
My only issue is that the crown is way to small. As if the engineers created the crown for a kids fingers. Takes some effort to pull out the crown for sure. Prx 2.0 needs a bigger crown maybe similar to the size of my seiko presage cocktails crown.
So let’s say which better to buy? Ofc after video so which better with battery or Automatic?
I wish they also put that textured dial on the quartz because I have too many auto watches now.
The quartz exists now with a Tiffany dial since this video was made. If you like dark blue or black, take automatic. If you want the Tiffany turquoise, get the quartz. Simple.
They are two different colours I think. The automatic has the glacier blue and the quartz is more of a mint green... I think!!
@@griggy1234 mint green and tiffany blue are two different dials on the quarts. auto has forest green and ice blue
On the wrist today, newest version of Polar Explorer II.
on my wrist is Seiko 5 Sports SRPD51K1 and this is my first automatic watch, this watch a reminder of my achievement getting a stable job for a year after finishing college and struggling getting a job because of the pandemic 2020 T-T
I got the mint green quartz one but i feel like i also want the powermatic blue dial… ahhhh i will have to buy it too. I missed a discount on it too
The automatic in the dark green is on my shopping list; it's not a question of if but when?
Kaufen. Ich hab sie jetzt 1 Jahr. Herrliche Uhr
on my wrist i have the sternglas naos automatic, really like the clean design and for a bauhaus style watch its really great value for the money, also love the leather bracelet. but for a more classy watch i am looking to buy a prx or gentlemen
I would like to get the automatic version, but the plastic parts in the mechanism bother me. And when servicing Tissot, they replace the entire mechanism, because it’s easier, but the cost is the same as a new watch.
On my wrist is a zepplin swiss movement sapphire crystal captain dial
5:05 Amazingly, the quartz model moves backwards in time! 😉
😂😂😂😂
I knew somebody would have noticed that too. and was looking for this comment. Time travel for $300. Kudos to Tissot 👍
Currently wearing my Apple Watch, but that's because I'm at work. I would usually be wearing my Rolex OysterDate 6694 from 1969. I'm probably going to buy the quartz PRX today as well.
Currently wearing a Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 in rose gold and stainless, a watch that has high sentimental value.
I really want a PRX but am having trouble choosing between all the options. Kind of want the all gold but the powermatics also look good! Too many good choices
What was your choice ? I'm in the same shoe
what's the brand of your shirt??
The intro is absolutely FIRE
I have always associated a Swiss watch with being the ultimate in precision engineering so why on the quartz model is the stepped movement of the seconds hand is not even close to being aligned with the dial indices? If I was intent on purchasing this watch then for that reason alone I would choose the automatic version where the sweep movement avoids this annoying issue. Before anyone says “Oh that would be impossible as it’s all to do with mechanical backlash” then why do I have a quartz watch from a Japanese manufacturer which cost a fraction of the price has perfect alignment?
I would love to see a 35mm light blue powermatic with the standard dial instead of the waffle look. Aarrggh is it too much to ask for.
on my wrist is the Seiko 5 SNK805 in olive green
I just bought mine, automatic blue dial with blue leather strap
If you are not sure which to buy because of the price, stop waiting and go for quartz. The dial is beautiful and tasteful, as is everything else about the watch. Having it on my wrist I would almost say that I like the dark blue sunburst better than any other color variation of the PRX, quartz or automatic. One caveat, mine doesn't hit exactly on the second markers, though it's close. It is hard to notice unless you stare at the end of the second hand, but it's there.
is bad lume a dealbreaker?
I will always prefer the automatic especially the waffle dial 🤩 ... but for the quartz dial there is a full gold 35mm or 40mm PRX looks super classy at super affordable price compare to the Vacheron Constantin 222 🤣
Yes I was wondering if anyone had gold. Looks great deal
I am wearing my Casio G-Shock GA 700UC. The army green model.
