Everyone is telling you to get the automatic version of the PRX. I bought the Quartz model just to spite those people who go against common sense like most things that i do in life. Am i better for it? find out in the video. Subscribe too. I know youre not subscribed. You're likely not even reading this description. If you are type "Rolex sucks and Jayson's the best pirate in the world". Also if you can spare like 5 bucks i'd appreciate it. it will go to my powermatic PRX fund. I know you're still not reading this but its fine. no really.

Buy The Quartz PRX Instead, Thank Me Later - Навчання та стиль
Is it suitable for daily use? I am writing from Türkiye

I thought so too. This is great. Thanks
Evet bu saat cok güzel 😉
dostum 35 mm olan günlük kullanım için biçilmiş kaftan yeni aldım sorularını cevaplayabilirim
@@berkesargn5756 çok teşekkürler. Ya bir anda fikir değiştirdim. Almaktan vazgeçtim ama ileride almak istediğim bir saat. Bilek kalınlığınız nedir bende 35 mm daha iyi olacak gibi düşündüm
i'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned about your smooth video editing skills. Good job on that!
Thanks a bunch.

I just want to say thank you for straightening the T on the crown. Seriously would have triggered my OCD🙏 Great review too!
I finally did get a PRX quartz 40mm (black dial) a couple days ago. I paid $270 on Joma ($280 black friday price - $10 from a coupon code I found online). I'm so impressed with the watch, especially the quality of the bracelet and the overall fit & finish. The second hand on mine isn't missing any of the markers too badly, which is a nice thing. This watch is quite a bit nicer than it has any right to be at the price.
About automatic vs. quartz PRX: the quartz is thinner, and thinner is definitely better for the PRX. Also I'm not completely sold on the Powermatic 80 movements. The Powermatic 80 found in the Tissot Gentleman has a familiar pallet fork with entry & exit jewels, but in the PRX's powermatic 80 you get some kind of plastic abomination. The Powermatics are also annoying to regulate and service (you can do both of those things, but you may not want to).
You should do a comparison with the 35mm should fit better on your wrist. Great video as always!
I love how the dial with the little embossed squares is available only for the automatic version for zero reasons but making you spend double the money if you like that dial type.
Haha this made me laugh. I imagine tissot now as a petty designer who has an agenda against waffle dials.
just dont be poor. simple fix
Or to give the people spending more money on the movement a greater payoff. Depends on your perspective. The consumer that wants a quartz, or Tissot who wants to make both quartz and automatic customers happy.
The 35mm works well too. The case shape bumps the appearance up to around 37mm and looks just about perfect on >7" wrists.
Hmmm! 35mm on 7in wrist is bold. But yes that shape projects 2mm extra on the wrist.
Totally agree!
Biggest myth on the Internet, what people mean is the proportions are trash at best... It doesn't make the watch wear "bigger".... You can't make a 40mm watch look like a 42... The lugs are just too big
Great video. The writing, delivery and editing was on point, felt informative and fun 👌🏼 subscribed
Welcome aboard!
Yup the Quartz dial is way more beautiful than the waffle.
You should try the 35mm one - the 40mm is too big for your wrists imo
I just bought this exact model two days ago , you’re well spoken, nice video
Thanks! 👍
Loving the editing my man. New sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Your editing is next level stuff
Wonderful review. I own two quartz versions myself
Just bought the PRX 35 in gold. What an amazing timepiece. I have the Grand Seiko SBGW253 for casual and dressy, the Omega PO 39.5 for sporty look, my Timex T80 Pacman on black leather strap for fun. Needed a gold watch to go with my gold accessories and this watch delivers. Not only it is comfortable on the bracelet, but it looks so good in gold. It will go perfectly with my ST Dupont gold dust rollerball pen.
Everyone should get a watch to go with their accessories.
Glad I bought the 35mm version since my 6.25" wrist can only accommodate a lug to lug of 45mm and this watch has a distance of 45mm from endlink to endlink.
I almost bought this gold one. If it weren’t for my son who’s also going to wear a PRX, I would have gone with a gold model.
35mms is a solid size for 6.25in wrists. Good choice. P
Great video! What is the circumference of your wrist just so I can compare to mine?
6.25inch
I have both, green dial quartz 40mm and Powermatic 80 rose gold/white dial. Bought the quartz first and it’s fine, certainly sporty and an excellent summer watch. However the rose gold / white dial Powermatic is quite a premium look in comparison. From the slight sheen on the textured face to the framed date window, the Powermatic takes the finish of the quartz version and adds that small amount of enhancement to create premium status. I don’t think buyer can go wrong either way but I encourage prospective buyer to take a close look at both before making decision, especially as a Powermatic PRX can be found around $500 USD. BTW I have a 6.5” wrist and had to try play with links and wear style to get both PRX’s to fit just right. After watching your video I will get the strap, was on the fence but it is an obvious add to the PRX experience.
im glad my video helped. Well in this case it helped you spend more money on watches so my "gladness" can be bad for your health and marriage (if you are married) and could further plunge you to the depths of emotional and financial despair. Welcome to the club. Tissot, where's thats sweet royalty deal? i'm doing some heavy lifting here.
Love the sunburst dial 👍🏻
3:38 Love the Music!
Great quality video and review! Thank you...
I like both dials but prefer the automatic movement. If you look in the used market you can find a mint auto for the retail price of a quartz. Also I can comfortably say it wears really big, anyone with a sub 7inch wrist should go for the 35mm as it wears/looks like a 38mm (imo). The 40mm wears like a 42-43mm.
I have a prx auto in green, anyone else feels like the bracelet is just uncomfortable? Can’t seem to get a good fit with it. The clasp keeps hitting my wrist, i don’t really know how to explain it
Your awesome video editing and effort to explain in detail made me subscribe your channel in the very first time! Kudos to editor
Thanks a bunch!
I've been mulling about this and the Seiko Laurel reinterpretation. I would really love to have the PRX but the only reason that's keeping me from getting it is the size dimensions. In my case, the 40mm variant is too big, while the 35mm variant is too small. Tissot should have instead offered a 37-38mm version instead of the default 40mm since they decided on not making the end links articulated which made the lug-to-lug length too long.
I find the 40 is a good size for the majority. People still say my wrist is still too small for this but I’m not deterred at wearing mine.
bro 35 mm prx looks like 37 mm
Niiice video bro... May I know the size of your wrist n would you advise this watch for a 6.5inch wrist? Thank you. 😊
Mine is 6.25. Others say I should go for the smaller 35mm prx but this wears fine to me. I’d like to think that it can fit 6.5in wrists.
I have the Tissot PRX 40mm Quartz in blue sunray dial love it I wasn't impressed with the tissot prx 40mm automatic the waffle dial was a no for me.
I purchased mine brand new for $269 the quality and craftsmanship is beautiful highly recommended it.
What is strange about this watch is that it looks better on person and even better on wrist. I tried one just for fun and damn it was so good.
I’ve been telling this to people for a while now!
Hello, Is the leather bracelet blue or black, and whats your suggestion on bracelet colour? Thanks
This is deep dark blue. It can pass off as black. Blue dials go well with brown, orang and tan as well. But tissot doesn’t carry those other colors yet.
Im considering this but the mint dial or the citizen tsuyosa tiffany blue. Can’t decide yet if its the oak or the perpetual. The price is similar, but if i upgrade to powermatic i have to add more. Its easy to get it here in the Philippines. Im leaning towards the prx now that i saw your video thank you.
Ayos! Buti naman nakatulong yung vid. I’m also trying to see if I can get a Tsuyosa to review. It may take a while it’s kinda hard to get here in aruba.
Ty for a good review and with a si.ilar wrist size it saved me some looking
yeah if you get both on hand, you can decide for yourself. i wish i made a video side by side with the powermatic. they even had the chrono on display, thats even more ridiculous on my small wrist. glad you liked the review.
Agreed with all your points. I own the 35mm and I think frankly it’s the best watch for the price, despite it being a quartz.
Great edits mate!! Keep it up
Loved the lucid style - subscribed !!! I am absolutely enjoying my TISSOT PRX Quartz 🔵
Thanks a bunch!
To me the 40mm PRX is too big for your wrist. Appropriate watch size isn't all about dial diameter. The integrated bracelet makes the PRX wear big. The 35 would be better for your wrist size.
What Makes Watches Look Bigger? #prx #tissot
@@DesignAtelierwatches used to be 32mm for men. You look ridiculous with a 40mm. Also the waffle is way better
You have to have a really big wrist to pull this watch off (probably from 19 cm and up), with its ridiculous case length
I actually read your description, but I'm not going to quote your quote lol. I really enjoyed your review, your video tricks and sense of humour. Actually had me laughing out loud at sausage digits.
You’re a true horological pirate at heart even if you don’t want to admit it.
Quality content! Keep it up
The powermatic is only 0.4mm thicker. I most certainly felt no difference between the two. Have you tried the 35mm? I think it will look better on your wrist.
thats not how i saw it. i tried both on, compared it side by side. i can definitely tell the size difference. but yes the 35mm gold was also very nice. i actually had that or this to choose from but my boy didnt like the gold so i chose this so we can share the prx.
Eveyone compares the prx to the royal oak, as you did here. I get it, but to be honest I really don’t see it. What I do see is the Rolex oyster quartz (my favorite Rolex hands down). I think I’m so focused on that comparison, my brain cannot handle any other possibilities.
My dream watch! With that dark blue dial. Gorgeous watch. Currently thinking of getting one but thinking between a Moonswatch or a PRX 😂
Honestly the moonswatch feels so much lighter and not premium feeling. It is still harder to get than a PRX from what I hear.
Go with the PRX, much better watch! Moonswatch is a toy watch and not durable like the PRX.
What's your wrist size? I'm torn between the 35 and 40
Same… what did you get?
Nicely done video!
I love this watch, love this review. Now I need to buy some Tissot straps.
The strap brings it to a whole new level. I hope they come up with more colors.
Can you provide the reference number of that Submariner in this video? Thank you.

I bought mine in Auto and blue waffle dial. Amazing bang for buck watch. It turns less heads now (been a while since its launch) but still catches my fancy nonetheless 😉 A must have collection for watch lovers out there 💪
thats the one that they had on the display as well. i loved how thin this was compared to that. To be fair, i could actually rock that powermatic model too but this one just sat better on my wrist.
The people you hang out with recognize your watch as last year’s model?
@@lebojay Yeah. The new Green Dial is a "killer" as well.
Nothin about a quartz is a must own
@@MrMuchachos75 Quartz has the best Bang for Buck value. Same built quality for much less. For anyone who doesn't need the hassle of keeping the watch constantly windup, it is also a great choice 👍
Came to my recommended just in time! I'll still wait though as I am waiting for my salary to pay everything I owe off, before buying one in 35mm :)
I really like the one in Ice Blue
UA-cam sometimes is heaven sent. Thanks for the support. I also may buy a 35mm someday.
With your wrist being smaller like mine are how come you didn’t opt for the 35mm version? Have you tried it? does it look too small? I’m just wondering how it would look on my wrist. I feel the larger were version wears way too big for me
I did try out the 35mm gold model however i was with my son in the store and i asked him which he would prefer between the two and he chose this blue one. But hey its so cheap i may get that other one too in the future. See im not that too bothered with wrist sizes, color and shape profile matters to me more personally. And yeah not me and my son share the watch which makes it more value to people than one.
@@DesignAtelier oh Yeah, I totally agree. I was just wondering if you thought it looked a little too small since our wrist size are pretty similar. I’m just trying to get an idea of how it would wear on me. Whatever size it may be I definitely think the quartz model is the way to go!
@@turnbasedtoddy7664 yeah i think i can still rock the automatics but maybe down the line too. I just wanted to experience this bracelet and now I think i can move to the automatics too if theres an opportunity.
I own the blue auto. Love it as it sits next to the Longines, Oris, and Tudor looking perfectly in place.
which one do you prefer: tissot prx quartz or seiko 5 gmt?
PRX quartz right now. I think that’s because the gmt is of barely any use for me and not to mention that I have a lot of divers and a couple of GMTs already.
Wish they used this dark blue on 35mm
I too am leaning towards quartz here. Although I do want more lume I think.
I don’t mind the lume but there really is barely any of it on this one.
Perfect video editing!
I wish they made the lume model in 35mm
Great editing! Also looking ahead to get the quartz. Low maintenance in longer run compared to automatic
Good choice my friend.
It’s a great looking timepiece. I was never a fan of the 1970s design philosophy, but the PRX has slowly changed my mind. 👍🏻
Design is cyclic-tic in nature. This one just hits the right stuff at the right time.
@@DesignAtelier Yhis watch is a masterpice without dimonds
70ties design philosophy slowly grows on you
i have a feeling youre Filipino. Well done with the video! script, transition, videohraphy, everything!
Pinoy ako, yes! Salamat sa views.
Well I have simply both. The green Automatic and a black Quarz. But somehow I have the impression there will follow more PRX in my collection.
Just not the Chrono version. I like it but it's just slightly to big for my wrist. :(
The good thing about it is that you can easily collect these because they are relatively affordable.
@@DesignAtelier True but fun story how I got mine.
Brought a Tissot Quarz in for a battery replacement.
Looked at the PRX powermatic and within 5 minutes purchased it.
Brought in the automatic. While still in spec I asked for some regulation so it at least is to fast and not to slow.
Well no watch on my wrist. Ok give me this black quarz PRX. :D
Guess I will at least also pick up the green and blue quarz at some point in time. Maybe also the blue automatic.
Man the Tissot PRX looks great on the leather strap 👌
absolutly
Hard to find the leather straps.
I ordered them from tissot site. www.tissotwatches.com/en-en/t852047701.html
What do you think of the leather strap, is it worth buying?
Yes definitely worth the buy
That case back is perfect for engraving
Oh yeah it is. Failed to see that. Good one.
@@DesignAtelier I'm getting it with the white dial and have the back engraved. It's a perfect watch.
Awesome review big love from Australia 😊😊😊
From the happy island in the Caribbean to the land down under.
Nice video and editing. What's your wrist size?
6.25inch
1:13 TOYOTA MOE !!??…doing something nice? 🙀
Always has.
Beautiful video production. Well done, mate.
Thanks a bunch!
this quartz have alot of dupe, with same case, similar dial, same quick release clasp mechanism, similar quartz movement for less than half the price,
I just ordered one from Jomashop today. Cannot wait to get it. I grew up in the 70's and 80's so I like the style
Enjoy it! It doesn’t disappoint! Mine is still in the rotation after sharing it with my son.
So many other Powermatic 80 versions out there at around $300 on sale all the time that absolutely outshine the PRX Auto. And best of all they don't have that annoying strap set up.
I got the PR100 2 tone auto W the powermatic. I got A custom made strap by Aaron Bespoke out of MTL ( Combat Straps ) 🔥🤌🏿
looks good, looks like a zenith defy
yes i agree!
I hope they come out with more colors for the leather straps. I want camel or tan.
Oh they’re going to milk this model for sure!
Great quality video and review...
Much appreciated!
Coming from a Casio edifice 2016 still perfect daily. Just found this PRX and the PRX 80 hard to make a choice for a daily. Price in EU is 400 vs 700 euro. What would you do ? Quartz or 80, even at 700 for a swiss made is a good price but don't want go hard as student. 400 already seems alot and could buy also like armani exchange/Hugo Boss.
Never buy an Armani exchange or Hugo boss watch. The quality would not even compare to any casio. Believe me I would rather buy a fossil which is about the same quality as Armani or Hugo but a fossil is an actual proper watch brand. Tissot is even better.
@@DesignAtelier haha alright then thanks man. Indeed I payed around 80 euro original full set edifice in summer 2016. Since then fell in love more and more as my watch journey began. Now few years later still a dime piece and indeed quality wise better than the non watch brands. Was also sortoff thinking that way. But for now Think will stick to the normal 350/400 euro PRX blue. Would be looking nice in summer. Thanks
@@semmoney5686 smart choice my matey! You can still play around the 400$ range. Other TISSOT come to mind and some great Seikos too. Also there is such a large pool of great watches to choose from in the vintage area. Citizen is another brand that you should get at steep discounts online not in a boutique or mall.
Good work fam 💯
Love your work man, very cool. The quartz is the way to gooooo.
Thanks. Yes quartz for me so far. I’m hoping to get an automatic though in time.
@@DesignAtelier I'm actually making the shift, I love my autos but the practicality of quartz especially as a full time dad that bangs it around and needs grab and go, is a win, so I'm excited to get a nice one.
Good points, but I have big wrists.
All good!
It’s a nice bracelet. And the easy strap change reminds me of Cartier. Looks a hair large on you tho in my opinion
My wrist is a hair smaller than this PRX actually. Not the other way around. Maybe a few more Big Macs will do the trick.
Tissot UK has a strap changing tool included with the strap.
This one as well. I just kinda forgot about it. It was in my drawer.
What do you meqn by "quartz version is not for everyone"? I know some prefer automatic, some quartz, but it seems you mean something else here?
That’s all it means. Some people prefer quartz, some automatic. Nothing more.
Tissot gave a premium look to the powermatic dial. But I rather go with quartz. Quartz is better, sorry.
Man you ever have a very small wrist brother, but I totally agree with that the quartz version is better than auto.
Don’t force me to eat more and grow a bigger wrist. I tried and it was not pretty.
I'd love to have quartz PRX with waffle dial :( It would look way better for me
Since I have a small wrist the quartz version is the one for me. And the dial looks better
exactly my choice. bravo!
Thanks for sharing! 😊👍🏼
My pleasure 😊 haha is just the cut version of my long form show.
@@DesignAtelier yeah, I saw that. Like that format 🙂👍🏼
Nice video, dude
This is a great watch. Honestly unless anyone really likes the waffle dial and automatics, there's no logical reason to get the Powermatic 80 beyond want.... which is what I did lol. I had the quartz white one and i really liked it... but I couldn't stop thinking about the automatic. Ended up returning the quartz for the auto purely because of want despite the quartz being the better logical choice haha
I’m might be crazy but I’m still using both in my rotation. I feel there’s enough difference between the two. The difference maker is the leather strap.
Why is it the better logical Choice?
@@BeyondTheLineProductions Mostly because for an extra $300, you're really only getting a movement and dial change. It's nearly double the price.
But again, watches themselves aren't logical. All anyone really needs is a Casio IMO. But we buy them because we like them!
Wouldn't the automatic last a lifetime while the quartz movement would wear out after like 30 years?
I’d get it if the dial actually has the same texture
Same texture as what?
@@DesignAtelier as mechanical version
This watch would be perfect without second hand
Bought the quartz ( ice blue) because i dont like the waffle on the Automatic
Tissot gave a tool to remove the straps when I bought the leather one.
True. I may have misplaced that amongst the countless tools here.
What's your wrist size?
6.25 inch
For that kind of money , I’d like a solar movement.
Oh well an edifice, gshock or an eco-drive might work for you.
I’m eyeing a Citizen :) Already have the other two options:)
Nice watch but on a 6.25 inch wrist like mine (and yours) it’s just too big!
You’re a purist at the truest sense. All good.
Thank you! I got the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Green Dial. lol I just liked the Automatic movement better and i just like the dial better and it's really cheap too :)
Yes and yes. I would have gone with that automatic too. It’s just too big for my wrist.
@@DesignAtelier That's my gripe actually, it's a little small in my wrist. LOL. Eitherway, still great value since i got mine at $545
I have the quartz, the crystal reflects a lot of light.
That’s good in my book.
For ur wrist, 35mm wuld b better
Prx is reborn Rolex Oysterquartz.
I got the new tissot prx in the mint wow
i get the love. but when i saw this on the display recently i was underwhelmed. preferences are weird i guess.
if its solar then i would buy immidiately
It's not solar
