    I love my green powermatic 80. Although in all of the time I wear it, no one notices. After a year of buying one watch per week and getting into watches, and I’m in my 50’s and it’s a new obsession, I’ve bought watches ranging from divers, dressers, gold, homages, khaki’s, pilot’s, smaller, larger, thicker, thinner. I could go on. And the only person that notices that I wear them are me. Buy for you. And just enjoy.

    I own this watch and I love it. It's hyped, and for a reason: it's just fabulous value for money. I like the design with the contrast of angular brushed surfaces and the round polished bezel. The light play on the dial never bores me, with it´s waffle pattern combined with a subtle sunburst, which makes the deep color shift constantly every time the light hits it differently. The light play on the bracelet is just lovely, and the powermatic 80 movement runs like a dream, consistently at about -/-1 sec./day.

    So glad Tissot is getting some good recognition. I own three different models including an automatic chronograph. This PRX is a knockout production and unbelievably affordable. These are all Swiss Made. Right now, from a famous watch dealer you can purchase an Automatic Chronograph T-Race MotoGP with a Swiss Made ETA Caliber C01.211 automatic chronograph movement for under $500. Read that again. It is a massive 49mm, but what a great knock around watch for that price. The Blue Dial PRX is a great looking dial, it also comes in a very nice green dial as well. I love my Tissots..!

Best thing was, because of the smaller diameter, and probably a little bit thicker than the 35mm quartz, it gave me a slight Aquanaut vibe from the side. If the trend of smaller watches catches on, Tissot will make piles of money. It looked really good.

    I remember seeing the PRX when it first release, I bought the white dial instantly.... then I found out they were releasing an automatic later that year. I ended up returning the white dial quartz in favor of the black powermatic 80. For a while I was trying to justify why having quartz was better, but I realized if I was playing this much "mental gymnastics" I might as well get the automatic since it was in my budget. No regrets and it is my favorite watch. If I could only keep 1 watch from my collection, it'd be my PRX.... though a very close second is my Seiko SPB119.

    I'm looking to get this as my first watch but I'm seriously stuck between this and the Certina DS Action Diver 38mm. I eas previously looking at solely the PRX but the Certina has AR Coating and better loom which will help in more utility. Also with my 6.1" wrist, the PRX's lug to lug is somewhere about 51 due to the integrated bracelet. So I wanted to know if I should get the PRX Powermatic 80 for my 6.1" wrist? I'm yet to fully grow so in a year or 2 my hands will certainly grow up a bit. Or should I look for thr Certina?

      You might pull the prx off but I have 17cm wrists and I feel like it’s a perfect case size for me. It all depends on the shape of your wrist (round or flat). If you care about the lume, I suggest you go with the Certina, since the lume on the prx is disappointing imho.

    This watch is what it is…a good value prop for a Swiss beater watch (I own one so no hate here) that greatly resembles another brand. Even though the PRX has its history from the 70s, even then it was a grab for the popular design language made popular from the other giants. Still, if you can’t appreciate what they have done, the value, then I’d argue you’re not really a watch enthusiast.
