I was Wrong about the PRX

I did a hit piece on the 40mm PRX a year back, but the 35 is a different story. Am I finally a fan? Let's find out.

On November 1st, I'll start a new job at Tissot's flagship store in Rome, and I was told I'd get to choose a watch to wear and keep. I'm either going for the 35mm PRX with the pearl dial, or whatever catches my eye once I'm there. So thrilled!

I chose an ice-blue quartz 35mm. I prefer the sunburst dial to the waffle and I'm happy to have a watch that's always ready to go. The accuracy on mine is insane, gaining about 5 seconds a YEAR!

I got the Emerald Green PRX Quartz 35mm for my birthday this year and it’s so beautiful. I love wearing it and looking at it.

My wrist size is 18cm. I went with the 35mm without hesitation as I have a vast collection of vintage watches this size & smaller. It’s a terrific looking watch! 😎👍🏻

Hello! Bought myself the 40mm ice blue dial and absolutely love it. When I asked if it is serviceable (seeing all these reviews on the PRX), my jeweller insisted he got all the gear to do it without having to send it back to Tissot. Argued that he does know the Powermatic 80 very well being a movement on a lot of models he sells. Don't know what to believe in the end. I guess I will find out in the future?... In the meantime, I will just enjoy it!

35mm icy blue owner here. I do hope prx will come out with yellow dial in the future.. Like Citizen tsuyosa. Love it..

Gold 35 quartz owner here. Tissot did the gold finish really well. Doesn’t look bright and fake/ cheap.

Picked up a MaMaCoo 's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

I have 2 35mm PRXs, the quartz gold one (bought before the automatic version came out) that I use mostly for the beach / swimming and the powermatic80 deep blue for night time chill outdoor time. Solid watch no matter how you look at it. No better option under 1k for a classic vintage look.

I bought the gold in 40 and 35 to see which one I liked better. I found myself wishing there was something in between. I ended up keeping the 40, the 35 was just too small for me. It is a stunner of a piece tho.

Dude, WHO told you the Powermatic movement is disposable and cannot be That’s not true! It’s NOT a Sistem51! The powermatic CAN BE regulated! Take a close look at the balance wheel arms and you will spot two eccentric screws which can be adjusted to change the rate!!!! And the powermatic movement can be serviced just like any 2824 or C80!!!

I regulated my PRX to +3 sec/day!

I got the 35mm quartz with the light blue dial. And to be honest, I think it is the most beautiful dial available on the PRX. It stands out so much, and I can’t stop looking at it!
Also the quartz is slimmer, which is always a good thing

[Aleksilausti]

There are myths here that have already been dismissed. Biggest disinformation propagated over and over is that the movement somehow cannot be serviced. The movement can be and will be serviced. At Tissot they just get swapped to a different movement and the one from your watch will get serviced and eventually be used in another watch for faster turnout. As for plastic not a big deal in this price range. It works well in a modern setting. Anyway, nice video, thank you.

"tissot" backwards is "toss it", and that's how they service their movements

[nick-just]

Others have said that the escapement in this movement is regulated by adjusting screws on the balance wheel (changing its inertia)… so it can be regulated, it’s just a different method than the 28-24.

Nice video Max! Although I don't own one, I'm a big fan of the colors of the PRX especially the mother of pearl. By the way, it was nice to meet you at the Windup Watch Fair in New York few weekends ago. I'm the one who said hi to you by the Oris booth!

[ViolinistWilliam]

The 35 is the move. Totally agree with you, just too much blank space on that dial in the 40. It’s boring

[ashtonkee]

Thank you. I did not know about that plastic part. I will definitely look elsewhere now. Was on the verge of pulling the trigger on the 35 Tiffany blue. Luckily I came across this video.

And this is why the quartz PRX is the one to get. Much cheaper to begin with and will last a lifetime.

I have the Ice Blue automatic PRX in 35mm and it's a fantastic watch. Love the light-play of the dial
