They have a powermatic version releasing by the end of this year I believe. Unfortunately it's gonna have diamonds as far as I know, but seems like Tissot is planning on releasing more of the 35mm variant next year w/powermatic. Fingers crossed.
@@Austinomical The Powermatic version? That’s a big if since there’s not official information nor leaks about this yet. But even so, at least end of the year is perhaps the soonest
@@ajiebkp Teddy Baldasarre just featured the first automatic 35 mm prx, it has solid gold bezel and diamond indexes, its going out end 2022 or 2023, but there are going to be more options
Agree, a lot of folks don't know what an Oyster Quartz is! Celebrity culture has made the Royal Oak a dominant force. Still miss the "loud tick tock" of my old Oyster Quartz, but not willing to pay £5K+ to own one again,
"The ETA F06.115 comes with heavy drive technology, that's make the movement more shock resistant. But the side effect is, the second hand can be misaligned, sometimes or always.." The second hand is actually misaligned on purpose.
What model number is that shade of green you have?I see Amazon has two slightly different shades of green with different model numbers in the prx 35mm quartz.
i always love blue but why that aqua green has no business looking that GOOD. i can see why you think it could look tacky in certain lights tho, it's a color not widely used
I went to the AD with an intention of buying the blue and I did. But the green was so stunning it almost made me change my mind. I am very satisfied with the blue but the green keeps running through my mind. It looks even better in person if you haven't seen it already.
@@Bellaciaao Bro - update. I couldn't resist the green and picked it up. And now I wear the green everyday to work. It goes with almost everything. The dial color is dark so it doesnt look weird at all. Its actually really stunning.
It actually does have lume on the indices. It’s thin and kind of weak compared to the hands, but it’s there. And perfect allignment of the second hand is nothing to count on with such a cheap watch and movement. For a HAQ quartz like a GS, sure. Not this one though. Lastly, it’s not a diver, so a screw down crown isn’t needed at all. You’re used to Rolex, who stick them on every model, but for 99% of non-divers, it’s standard to have a regular crown.
I was really torn between this or the Dumoreau DM01with the teal dial. I ended up going with the Dumoreau for a few reasons, one its slightly bigger, its a thin automatic (Miyota) and it has 100m of WR with a screw down crown. Its different enough that its not a homage of any particular integrated bracelet design. Still I look at the PRX, it would be lighter and easier to wear but I do think I picked the right one for my needs. Maybe if they do a black dial 35mm I'll get a PRX also.
I could be wrong, but I think the second hand that aligns on parts of the dial, but not others, is got to do with the tiny gears and stepper motor in the movement that has slight imperfections. So technically not Tissot's fault, but ETA's fault. (Yes, I know they're all Swatch group). The best you can hope for is find an example that is maybe a tad early on part of the dial, and a tad late in the other part so that's close enough everywhere. Or step up to a more expensive watch, but you've got to step up quite a way to avoid it. My $1000 Seiko Tuna has perfect alignment (though they can't align the bezel for some reason!). And I recently got a Seiko solar quartz that looks pretty perfect, don't know if I'm lucky or Seiko is upping their game.
Virtually every quartz watch I’ve looked at had a second hand that hit the markers on one side (within reason, at least), but failed on the other. Even quartz Grand Seikos have hands that miss the markers. It’s not considered a ‘flaw’ but I agree it doesn’t look good. If I were you I’d ask them to remove the second hand altogether; a non-sports quartz watch is much more relaxed-looking in lieu of it.
Most of the PRX in the showroom seem pretty good around the clock. For some reason I don't enjoy watches without a second hand, I like to see something beating/moving on the wrist. Part of the appeal, like having a little companion with you (😂)
@@watchgardenuk - I agree completely. And one would also suppose that even a basic $100 quartz Citizen could get the second hand alignment right, never mind the more costly quartzes in the $500 ~ $1,000 range . . . but apparently not, nor is it considered a flaw, strictly speaking . . .
I own a Citizen, Casio and Seiko. All spot on the markers and with solar. This" Swiss" overpriced and overhyped PRX just like the Moonswatch can't hit the markers.
I have a 1977 omega seamaster quartz and the seconds hand hits every marker on point. I feel like they could do better in that regard and I'm guessing since it's an affordable watch, it probably would cost more for the effort I guess.
I've heard Tissot already has powermatic watches that are as small as this 35ml watch, such as women's watches and technically making an automatic version shouldn't be a technical issue.
Just about ready to pull the trigger on this. In your recommendation if I have a 7 inch wrist should I order the strap at 7 inches exactly or size up to 7.25 for some wiggle room?
I will have one of These. But in Germany you can’t buy it yet. Do you know if the blue Version has the same or similar colour then the big Version? On picture it looks very different. Nice Video mate.
Im torn btw ice blue and green dial. 35mm fits so much better on avg size wrist compared to 40mm due to its design. I will probably pull the trigger on ice blue for quartz and hopefully green once tissot introduce powermatic to 35mm
My impression of the ice blue, in person, is that its quite feminine. More so than a Rolex Platinum ice blue. Hard to explain, need to see for yourself :)
@@watchgardenuk Oh is it? It’s not available here in the US yet so I need to try it on first then. Besides I like the green on quartz vs waffle design dial for automatic. And you read my mind, i was expecting ice blue to be somewhat closer to rolex platinum ice blue. I really wanted the Rolex OP 34mm green as my daily but ended up getting sd43 couple years back instead. This will replace my daily once it is available here
I would have prefered a screw caseback like on most watches, but the snap ons are actually fine. And the watch is rated to 100m WR nonetheless - I have seen one open and they have nice seals. I don't think you'll have a problem because of it. Fairly easy to remove with a pry tool if you need to. As a said, I understand your concern and I would have prefer if it didn't have it as well. But we'll never be 100% satisfied with a watch, no matter which one. We'll always nitpick something. I don't think you should give up on this watch purely because of that
I agree and this seems to big a big issue for Tissot. They just released a unisex 36mm SeaStar. The next size up is a huge 43mm. They just can't seem to get it right. Just about every man can wear 38-40mm.

I got the 35 in silver, man it’s a delight the size is perfect it looks so classy
What size wrist ?
Best video on Prx on RUclips . Thanks for sharing time for us sir . I respect u
It looks very classy & got a dressy feeling due to its 35mm size. Luckily i didn’t pull the trigger on the 40mm version yet. Worth to wait!
Do we know when it debuts?
I will receive mine with blue dial next week. Im so hyped since the announcement 😍
Superb review! I'm just hoping they have a mechanical one for that size, the seconds hand not hitting the markers is a bummer.
They have a powermatic version releasing by the end of this year I believe. Unfortunately it's gonna have diamonds as far as I know, but seems like Tissot is planning on releasing more of the 35mm variant next year w/powermatic. Fingers crossed.
there are photos of prx green on the internet but sometimes some photos are like emerald green but others like green-green. very confusing.
You can find powermatic 80 in 35 mm women watches ;)
So I really hope that they make an auto of this 35mm PRX !
Wow thanks I did not realise. I will definitely pick up a 35mm auto version if we get the opportunity :-)
Could you tell me a 35mm with Powermatic 80 in it?
@@ΠαῦλοςΠαυλίδης-χ7θ Hi, the TISSOT CHEMIN DES TOURELLES is actually a 32mm ladys watch and has the powermatic 80 movement fitted in it.
The allignment issue is RIDICULOUS for such a brand, has anyone got any answers from Tissot?
Great review 👌🏻
Love the size. I found the 40 too big also,not crazy about the green. I think I’m going to wait for the
powermattic 80 in that size.
Doubtful the Powermatic will fit in the case.
@@desertsoldier41 It fits, they put the Powermatic 80 on the 33 mm Tissot PR100

Thank you for your great review. I'm actually thinking about getting the light blue one.
People always says it’s like a Royal Oak when I only see the oyster quartz in my opinion
Agree, a lot of folks don't know what an Oyster Quartz is! Celebrity culture has made the Royal Oak a dominant force. Still miss the "loud tick tock" of my old Oyster Quartz, but not willing to pay £5K+ to own one again,
Are the 35mm versions available now? Can't find it anywhere, and it's not in Tissot's store yet.
They are available in some UK stores, both online and on the website. E.g. Goldsmiths.
I couldn't find it in stores here in Canada either but the watch looks nice
never forget the green alpinist when talking about green watches.
Hi, what is the size the your wrist?
"The ETA F06.115 comes with heavy drive technology, that's make the movement more shock resistant. But the side effect is, the second hand can be misaligned, sometimes or always.."
The second hand is actually misaligned on purpose.
Great review, I've just found your channel and by your choice of watches I think we have the same taste :D
What model number is that shade of green you have?I see Amazon has two slightly different shades of green with different model numbers in the prx 35mm quartz.
6:48 It is also similar to the Vacheron Constantin 222.
Great point, one of the reasons driving interest in the all gold model for sure. (With the latest VC release).
PS. Imagine the All Gold 35mm PRX with fluted bezel!

I tried looking it up and could only find a few people selling it for around $1k USD which is hard to compare to this watch for most people.
What’s your wrist size?
16cm
@@watchgardenuk mine is 15cm hope it looks good too
@@xaram Will work great I think

Great video. Did you go with the quartz to keep the watch thin on the wrist?

Size is perfect for your wrist
Just about ready to pull the trigger on this. In your recommendation if I have a 7 inch wrist should I order the strap at 7 inches exactly or size up to 7.25 for some wiggle room?
I would be tempted by the 40mm with a 7" wrist. Either way, order them sized to your wrist actual measurements.
Still 40mm looks good also on 6,5inch wrist 😊
An informative and in-depth video, but the pace is to me a tad too slow. The video could be condensed quite a bit.
ich habe auch die grüne 35mm PRX. Tolle Uhr in Super Qualität. Schade, dass Tissot in dieser Größe keine Automatik anbietet
Ergo, this thing _isn’t_ 100m water resistant?
I think the 100m WR stands, they just implement it without the screwdown crown somehow
@@watchgardenuk you are aware that a screw down crown doesn’t add to water resistance right ? Just prevents stupid human errors.
I will have one of These. But in Germany you can’t buy it yet. Do you know if the blue Version has the same or similar colour then the big Version? On picture it looks very different. Nice Video mate.
Where can I purchase one in the states?

37-38mm would be great for every wrist size. 40 is big 35 is small

totally false. 35 mm rocks!!!
