    I prefer the quartz. 1.) Thinner 2.) Lighter 3.) More nostalgic 4.) Cost 5.) Set it and forget it.

    • @kik0le

      I think the cost is the most divisive especially when the automatic is about double the price. And I like mechanical watches.

    Totally agree with MWC on this one. The quartz version is more in tune with the watch it is based on. The 1978 Tissot SeaStar was a quartz release, so it simply makes sense that the PRX would be as well. Especially now with the new 35mm versions that are nearly 1 to 1 replicas (dimension wise) of the 1978 Sea Star.
    The PowerMatic 80 feels like a bit of an afterthought to simply satisfy watch snobs that think they are too good to wear a quartz watch.
    So on one hand, you have one piece that is more in touch with it's horological roots, is an order of magnitude more accurate, requires nearly no maintenance, and is roughly 1/2 the cost. On the other hand you have a watch that has been turned into little more than an homage watch, is not nearly as accurate, costs twice as much AND basically brands you as a pillock who thinks they're too good to wear a quartz watch.
    I went with the quartz and never regretted it.

    I have the quartz version and absolutely love it. The 70s design style makes quartz a good choice for this particular watch in my opinion. Oh, and there's also the price difference of course 🙂

      Quartz, especially with the ETA movement that features some shock protection. However I wouldn't knock either one around too much, wouldn't want to ruin the sapphire crystals or finishing. If it has to be especially durable just get a G-Shock.

    It was a close call but I went with quartz blue. So glad I did. Sometimes I get a wild grass is greener feeling but majority of the time I love that I can just throw it on when I get tired of setting my autos. It's also accurate for the time period it references. I'm usually an auto fan only, but as shown there's a few exceptions. Just a beautiful watch.

    I prefer the texture of the waffle dial and I wish Tissot had gone with a linen or teak dial (or something) to give the quartz version a little more visual interest. I also agree with you that a 38mm (or even 36mm) diameter would have better suited the vintage look and feel. With the case shape and integrated bracelet, I think it would have worked even on larger wrists. (I have a 7 inch wrist.)

    The first watch I ever owned was a Tissot Visodate in steel. It was probably 1965 or 1966, I was 7 years old and the watch was given to me as a gift. So obviously I have a soft spot for Tissot. But these days I would have a hard time buying most Tissots because I hate that font they use on the dial so much. I think that font is awful, it's too big, and it makes their watches look incredibly cheap. In my view they should ONLY use the old script font that was (and is) so beautiful! I don't know why they changed it in the first place, but to me it's a total FAIL.

    Did you notice any inaccuracies with the second hand missing markers or the minute hand going in between minutes? I want to get the quartz because it's more cost-effective, but I keep reading and seeing reviews where the minute hand is in between minutes and the second hand is skipping markers

    Been looking forward to this one Russell! I love the automatic but I do love my quartz one too. Just gutted that I didn't wait to get the auto. My black dial quartz is gorgeous though and I have similar-sized wrists to you and can just about get away with the size of it but it would be perfect if it was jusy a couple of millimetres smaller!

  • @RedwoodAggie
    @RedwoodAggie 2 года назад +1

    Thanks for the comparison. The RO effect on the Powermatic dial turned me off at first, but I've come to really like the additional texture/interest. It's a shame about the lume. That's one thing you don't have to worry about on a lumed Seiko (closest in feel might be the SPB167 sharp edge). I did try the quartz PRX on at an AD the other day, and it fit beautifully on my 7.25" (18.4cm) wrist. The quartz felt lighter than I am used to, so I'm not sure how I felt about that. I still lean toward the Powermatic, but they didn't have that to try on. Hopefully Tissot will offer some nice rubber straps with quick release to go on the PRX in the future. I do not know why they would go to the trouble of quick release on the bracelet otherwise.

    Hey Russ.. I tried on the powermatic version and I was a little underwhelmed I must admit. No weight to the watch at all and it left me thinking the price tag wasn’t justified.. a very attractive watch though and I can see Tissot selling bucket loads… enjoyed the episode ..

    My Direnzo DRZ 04 is the same kind of integrated bracelet watch with a unique style dial but without this AP-esque approach. This automatic movement might be the one with this most interesting - anti magnetic - silicone balance staff - I guess. Anyway, another great vid Russ. I wonder what the wife would have chosen.

  •  Год назад

    I tried both twice with intent to buy. I bought the Gentleman Auto the first time, and bought a Seiko 5 Pepsi the second time :) If the automatic version did not exist than I would buy the quartz and vice versa. I just could not decide between these two.

    I have the black dial powermatic 80 version and I can tell you that it looks less homage if you don’t just go for the default blue. Also, the powermatic 80 movement is probably one of if not the most accurate movements non-cosc or metas. And I saw someone mention that they don’t like the lack of weight of this watch. The weight is fine for the style of watch it is. Don’t forget this is a cross between sports and dress.

    I wish the quartz came in the dial of the auto. The date window is framed, and the text is more symmetrical (2 lines on top and bottom). And the waffle pattern is beautiful. But I don’t need an automatic, dang it. Guess I’ll just have to wait a bit more and see what happens next. 🫤
