I really respect you mentioning how much $650 means to many people around the world and how for a lot of them its an impossible dream to spend that much on a watch. A lot of watch people are completely oblivious to this.

Looking forward to more great content!

All snobbery aside, that's just a lovely watch. Also nice to acknowledge that $650 is an insane amount of money for most people on planet Earth, but they are not looking at buying a piece of decorative metal for their wrist (with an iphone in their pocket). For people buying swiss watches, this is insane value, almost ludicrously cheap.

Honestly would not be upset if they milked the PRX Brand like Tudor has done with the Black Bay. Tons of colors, sizes, straps, complications. This piece has already done an excellent job of finding and filling its place in the market. Well done Tissot!

I bought two … the ice blue dial and the dark blue for my son. The dials are stunning in the light. No regrets.

Unearned privilege. Right on. Im amazed on your grounded insight. Yes 650 is a lot for some people. Glad to hear a reviewer with such humility. Keep it up!

Great review Evan. I think that at the $650 price it's a bit of a no-brainer. I love the light play on the bracelet. It's also very comfortable to wear.

Absolutely love your videos amigo!
I'm so glad you mentioned that the $650 price tag isn't a bag of peanuts that our watch community perceives it to be. It truly is life changing money for most folks out there.
Thanks for showing that not all of us in the watch community are disconnected from reality.

Again, love all your videos! Keep up the amazing work!!

Great track playing on the background here. Really goes well with the colours. Well done!

I love the the late 70s / 80s throw back disco music, the mineral crystal used is to keep the cost down, Seiko does the same sort of thing but uses its proprietary hardlex crystal.
The PRX look very much like the Zenith Defy to me, great quick video !

Having worn my dad’s Rolex submariner for reference, and having recently purchased this watch, I find myself looking down at it much more. It’s not so much the price for me, so much that it’s the design overall. I’m a college sucker for these late 70’s design watches and I actually love the blue waffle dial 😄 love the videos man keep them coming !

I am fortunate to own a 41 mm AP Royal oak which on the aftermarket is worth north of 50k dollars i bought this tissot today on impulse tried it on my wrist looks really fantastic and in certain situations and locations you don’t want thousands on your wrist, I have pieces from Patek, Jäeger le coultre as well, but feel very comfortable wearing this watch it’s a very attractive watch the fact it cost me only 645 Swiss francs
For an automatic watch with 80 hours power reserve and timeless retro cool styling is bonkers for lack of a better word

[MarioGonzalez-yqgw]

Fantastic and hilarious video as always! I've been wearing that exact model for a few days now and love it!
It's not perfect, but something about it drew me in. Very nice and fun for an every day sort of watch.
Much more low key than some of my others.
Keep it up man!

I was going to buy the quartz version of this watch and ended up going for a vintage Credor Pacifique GCAR007. Great bang per buck for the Tissot and great looks. No wonder they are selling so well

It‘s the first time I see a video from this channel in my youtube suggestions, although I watch many videos about watches. And I have to say, that this is one of the qualitative best watch-videos, I‘ve ever seen. This channel defenitly deserves more attention! Keep doing what you‘re doing man!

[bitcoinethereum]

I have the quartz blue and silver and had jeweler remove the seconds hand, Love it as my go-to beater watch.

[BasicallyWatches]

Great video! love your take on it and massive respect for acknowledging the fact 650$ can be a life changing amount for some people around the world.

[Climpus]

I bought mine a couple of weeks ago as a 'I've never owned an expensive watch before' purchase. My previous watch was £12.50 from Ebay but the 'hour hand' didn't really point at the number corresponding with the actual hour, which made telling the time a bit hit-and-miss. I was at Gatwick and thought I'd treat myself to a 'proper watch'. Having just watched this I'm glad I made the right decision.

[ticktology]

A very well-executed video & review. I really like this Tissot PRX and have been thinking about buying the black dial version. It’d make for a nice budget dress watch, in my opinion. You cannot beat the value of watch you get for the price.

[kylewinter]

The vibe of this watch 100% matches the vibe of your music. Well done.

Got one last week and it is marvellous. Looks and feels great. Especially for the price.
