  • This was the textbook definition of an impulse watch purchase. I've been interested in the Tissot PRX line since they were released, but wasn't sure about the size. I had actually just recommended the smaller, 35mm version to a friend as a gift for his partner, and then stumbled on it today at a local dealer. tried it on, loved, and bought it for myself. This is not just a watch for women! If you're on the fence about the 40mm, check this one out. The small case size perfectly represents the retro design the PRX is based on. Thanks for watching.

    After two months, it's now running 6 seconds fast. I think that's enough of a sample size to say this watch is keeping pretty good time, haha.😆

      Thanks, much appreciated! I'm still really enjoying this watch, super comfortable and incredibly light. And agreed - the smaller size is a nice change of pace. Also, the case design and integrated bracelet really does give it a feel of a watch that's larger than 35mm, but still compact on the wrist.

    Love the color of the dial. Also smaller watches are extremely underrated imo.

      I completely agree, and have been gravitating towards smaller watches lately. Good to have a nice balance of both larger and smaller pieces.

    I honestly think the Quartz versions are much better value for money, plus the dials look beautiful. I think if someone is starting out collecting watches they should go quartz and get another decent affordable auto (if they want one) such as a Seiko 5kx (I like the black camo) which can be bought here in the UK for £200-250, the PRX with discounts £265, which together is still cheaper than the auto PRX at £565. That's what I did, I was actually considering getting the auto variant but paying double for virtually the same aesthetic just wasn't worth it IMO. Maybe if the PRX Quartz was £350-£400 I'd be more drawn to the PMatic 80 side but the considerable price discrepancy and dial choice made the decision very easy for me. £265 for a cool swiss made watch... you can't beat it!
    If you love watches you'll have some Quartz, you'll have some autos, you'll have some Casio's but... you'll never have a Hublot 🤣👌I say let the PRX be your tick in the Quartz section of your collection

    • @froesei
      @froesei  2 года назад +1

      Cant disagree with anything you said, and the quartz movement actually kind of fits with the retro design the PRX is based on. And it's (so far at least), extremely accurate!

    hello, I bought the 40 mm automatic version of this watch when it first came out, the one with a blue dial and I have never seen such a beautiful dial in my life. The power Matic 80 version is coming for mm and I'm flying with happiness, I will buy the blue dial automatic as soon as it comes out, love my friend

    Accuracy update: Since I originally set this watch, it is running 3 seconds fast. That's it. In over a month. Pretty incredible, and I'm hoping this level of accuracy continues. I am impressed.

  • @amg231
    @amg231 2 года назад +17

    I think I might get one of these next year. Waiting to see if they release an automatic version and see what that looks like but leaning towards quartz just for the price point and grab and go factor. I think the size is perfect, definitely not a woman’s watch…it will fit better on many wrist than the 40mm regardless of gender

    • @froesei
      @froesei  2 года назад +1

      I tried both sizes on and compared them and definitely felt the 35mm was a better size for me, particularly because my primary purpose for it is to use as something I wear to the office. If someone is going to wear this more as an everyday "sports watch", then I can see the 40mm being a good option. All comes down to personal preference and use case.

    Overall a beautiful piece and I recommend anyone below 7in wrist who wants a great deal to get the 35mm.

    Just passed my 1 month wearing this on most days. I took a chance and took this watch to:
    1. The beach, swimming pool, riding motorcycle, and
    2. Day hike
    I can say it hold up well. Oddly no visible scratches, easy to clean, no leaking whatsoever even being submerged to 30-60 cm deep for 10-30 seconds at a time.
    Great deal of a watch

    I thought the 35mm would be the right fit for me but i was surprised that the 40mm fit me much better. It goes to show that you should always try them on before buying them. Unfortunately, the store didnt have this dial so i went with the dark blue one. I thought it was gonna be electric blue based on the videos but the dial colors are so subtle and classy in person. They’re really good. They tend to change colors based on the lighting conditions which really surprised. Its so good!

    Did you compare this with the silver dial one? Can't decide between the too. This one looks great in some videos but can look almost lilac/purple. The Silver dial looks nice, but not a fan of the guilt hands... And the blue tone on the 40mm would prolly be my pick but the blue on the 35mm looks almost neon blue. Oh what to do.

    • @froesei
      @froesei  2 года назад +8

      Ha, all great questions. I compared the one I bought, with the light blue dial, to the silver and gold tone, the green dial, and the fully gold dial and bracelet. I don't think they had the 35mm blue, from what I recall. I was tempted by the silver dial with gold accents, but that one did come across a bit too feminine for me. Part of me is still thinking about the gold on gold version. It's over the top but it looked amazing. I love the one I chose, though. It almost never looks purple or lilac. It mainly looks like a blue grey, or silvery. It does depend on the light, which I really like. I was looking for a light coloured dial to balance my collection, and I also love blue. So this hit all the right notes.
