Little anecdote to the Tissot PRX. Last year there was an article in CQ that Klay Thompson wore a Vacheron Constantin 222 Historique (70’000 $) for a Matchup game and the choice was considered excellent taste on Klay’s part.
Funny enough, it turned out he actually wore a quartz PRX in gold for 450 $.
Tissot actually does service the Powermatic 80. On its website, it provides an estimated cost for a partial service and a full service. The escapement wheel and pallet fork are made of polymer to improve endurance and lubrication. There’s lots ignorant people talking BS online and spreading misinformation because they just simply believe what they hear.
Thank you for this
Just bought my PRX Powermatic fron Tissot Athens and they said from the start that service is available on the watch at anytime.
They suggested servicing every 4-5 years with a cost of around 190€.
The Ice Blue dial is absolutely stunning
They probably just replace the movement for that price, they only cost about 25 to make, ETAs are dime a dozen.
There are still guys that won't buy polymer guns. But most have come around.
Well said. The PRX gets bagged all over the place with these so called facts regarding serviceability and plastic components.
The Tissot PRX is such a great watch. I bought two, the blue and glacier blue version, another great Tissot is the Gentleman. Excellent watch as well. And I say that as an owner of many high end watches, the PRX is a LOT of fun to wear.
😂 are you part of the marketing team from Tissot 😂
I do have the blue gentleman and green prx both are lovely and makes me happy wearing them
@@Thankyou_3They all seem to have higher end watch's especially Rolex 😂
I did the same,have green & a blue auto PRX.Very nice watches.
@@Thankyou_3I watch some youtubers who say prx is bad, don't buy prx, instead buy this, a very bad and ugly watch few buys, pure marketing. As a watch collector of 15 years, prx changed a lot, i have two, green and ice-blue, green for a year and ice blue for 2 days, they are great ;)
I have a Seastar 1000 with the Powermatic movement, been my go to for a couple of years. I am not afraid to wear it out, and it keeps time as good as my higher end watches.
If my Powermatic watches need servicing, I am sure Tissot won't gouge me for $700 bucks for service. They will likely have movements ready to pop in.
Love my PRX and Seastar for their awesome looks and performance.
I bought a Super Sea Wolf 6 months ago and loved the orange lume on the dial and bezel insert. Unfortunately the movement would randomly stop working through out the day about a month ago, seemed like the movement was somehow getting stuck. Watch still under warranty, I sent it in to get the issue resolved and that's where it became disappointing. They initially wanted to charge me for a "service". After I explained what was going on with the watch they still insisted I was asking for a service, which is not included under warranty. After painfully and slowly explaining the issue to who I thought was a knowledgeable individual, and I asking how a moment getting stuck is not consider a warranty defect after less than half a year of ownership, did they acknowledge my now "warranty service" request to be looked into further. They asked for every single possible proof of purchase to confirm that I had indeed purchased the watch from them. The very email they sent me confirming my purchase was not enough for them. From bank to email confirmations, you name it. Took more than 10 DAYS of sending emails back and forth with the service center to finally get approved for a warranty repair. Said it would take a few weeks so I should be getting an update soon. NEVER AGAIN ZODIAC. Get better movements, but most importantly get better customer service. That goes a long way.
Great to hear that you're coming to Asia! Are you stopping by Singapore? You should do a gathering for your viewers out here. Would be great to chat and share watches.
It's important to note as well... not all Powermatic 80 movements are made the same. There are variants with metal escapements, etc.
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf owner here. I personally love the watch, I love how slender and light it wears on my wrist, feeling almost like a dress watch, and I love the color schemes. The issues with Zodiac watches are the inconsistent lume performance, and the hit-or-miss reliability of SOME STP movements they use (namely winding stem issues), but I can’t confirm if they’ve addressed those issues in the last year or so. They’re really fun and easy to wear watches, though.
I can confirm it's still a problem. Just sent my super sea wolf back for the second warranty repair in less than a year. Too bad. I really like the watch.
I’ll add to that poor QC. Five out of six new ones I checked out had issues. Case back gasket sticking out , misaligned bezel, something knocking around the movement , screwed up crown
Hello there, i have i SSW GMT and i agree on lume performance (not great). I can't comment on STP movement because mine has the 2893-2 but i can say that a lot of gmts had the gmt hand slightly misaligned.
Zodiac movements are not the best. I would go for Doxa.
I like my PRX as a kick around watch. I wore it last time I travelled overseas as it isn’t likely to get you mugged for. If it kicks the bucket I will buy something else.
I want my watches to be handed down.
Anything that is popular and hyped gets the "piece of crap" question. The PRX is honestly worth the money, assuming you don't pay sticker for it. You can get them online for $450, and certainly worth that price. However, I think the Tissot T-Classic line with the Powermatic 80 is an even better watch, often on sale in the $300 range. Out of all my movements, my Powermatic 80s I have have been the most accurate with over 80 hour reserve. I've gotten 88 hours from my PRX and great accuracy.
Where can you get a PRX at 450 brand new? I doubt that. It is worth it at 600ish, for sure.
@@tiagodvt Jomashop, the blue dial leather strap Powermatic 80 is often on sale for $450. You can get the steel bracelet PRX 40mm auto just a bit above $500, the quartz 40mm as cheap as $280. Depends when they have sales. This is including the regular $20 coupon when buying anything above $300.
@@tiagodvteBay has some for less than 450 usually
I’v had 2 powermatics for 3 years now, a seastar and a gentleman. Both are super accurate, within cosc and better, despite not certified. Winding is smooth and the watches are finished incredibly well for well under 1k each. Nothing to complain about.
Absolutely love my Ice Blue PRX. Can't believe people say it feels cheap.
I've tried one and it does feel cheap tbh. Could be because I'm used to wearing my Tudor though lol
@@Sheepdog416 as an owner of both Tudor and a Tissot PRX, it's apples to oranges. of course the tudor is better quality! it's 6x the price! the Tissot feels good for a sub $1k watch and for a lot of people that's a reach. I respect what they do, and I don't care about the plastic parts in the movement. I didn't buy this watch thinking I was going to wear it for 40 years.
@@Sheepdog416 Agree with you it does feel cheap. Good for its price to be fair but nowhere near what people make it out to be, not Tudor quality for sure.
@@Sheepdog416omega gang ONLY!!! 😂😂
It is cheap. It’s not moonswatch cheap obviously but it’s not exactly luxury either.
If someone likes the PRX and is worried about the plastic parts in the movement, get the parts or just full movement swapped out for the PowerMatic 80 Silicium from the Gentleman. Same movement, but no plastic parts.
Great video as always, Fed. Would be glad to see some travel updates.
Zodiac Super Seawolf Skin Diver owner here- love it. Perfect size and great finishing for the price. I recommend Zodiac to anyone who will listen.
Hi Federico, i bought my PRX Powermatic 80 last Year in October and really do love it very much, top Value for Money imho. This purchase did lead to another Purchase last week it’s the ML Aikon in 42 mm with black Dial and today I bought a PRX Cronograph in blue, also 2 amazing timepieces.
Hi! If the escapement breaks, why it is not possible to get new plastic parts? Just wondering.. But yeah, I would not buy this kind of watch with "disposable" movement.
Hello. Watchmaker here. The pallet fork with the escape wheel made out of the composite, it virtually create less friction and less impact during the impulse and locking phase of the escapement. This was basically similar with silicium escapement system that tries to mitigate the friction in the normal steel vs ruby jewel on the swiss lever, avoiding the need to often lubricate and wear and tear in both pallet jewels and escape wheel teeth, this was the tech derived from the Tissot Idea2001 from the 80s. And also those C07 movements are highly serviceable, so it's not just throwaway movement, they use special lubricant compared to the common swiss lever 9415 oil which if other watchmaker out there have the proper lubricant they could fix this watch too, and also the rate is adjustable by adjusting the eccentric screw as FFS it's a free sprung balance. They exchange the movement so the turn around time of servicing is faster while the old movement sent to Swiss to service as we're not only servicing Tissot in the workshop but also up all the way to Breguet which need much more time to spend with. Regular automatic watches need atleast about 2.5 to 3 hours to work with, just imagine how long the service time would be for the owners if you considered how many PRX PM80 out there, not counting the chronographs that took 3.5-4 hours to do from dismantling, troubleshooting, washing, assembling and lubricating and fine tuning. With the queue if one wants to service instead of movement exchange, wait times would be like 6-8 months, and that's no fun.
I really enjoy my blue waffle PRX. The PRX is only popular on the internet. I have never seen anyone else with one in real life and I live in a major US city.
that's interesting I've seen a ton of them in wild out here in southern California. seems to be very popular
@@matthewkang haven't seen a single one in Houston, TX.
So true
I wouldn't get the PRX in anything but a quartz. Quartz should get a lot more love b/c its reliable and easy to maintain. I picked up the tiffany blue quartz PRX as my travel watch since my Rolex has gone up in value and I don't want to risk anything happening to it and I was blown away by the PRX. Its a lot of watch for $300. What separates the PRX from the top tier brands is finishing. The PRX is a bit "rough" compared to my Rolex. But it begs the question, is the finishing worth the substantial price premium over the PRX? The PRX sure made me question that...
I’d love to see episodes of Federico Talks Travel, as well as Federico Talks Food and Federico Talks Cars. All great ideas.
Hi Federico, does your PRX have a click when the rotor goes for a few rounds? The click can be heard if you manually wind at a very very low speed
its a common eta2824 issue.
I have prx powermatic about 18 months now. First year it was about -10 seconds a day. After one year using it ticks almost spot on, like they said it would be.
Thank you once again Federico, straight talking with no Bull. Very refreshing.
Thanks for the wrist watch check. I’ve been wondering which nomos to buy
Zodiac is pretty good, I have two, the one pictured and a blue/white Super Sea Wolf, comfortable and easy to wear. The updated bracelet is much nicer than the old one. I think their customer service is a work in progress still but overall I like what they're doing.
I recently bought a limited edition Zodiac Super Sea Wolf. Fits great and looks great, and I genuinely like the watch......just sent it back for the second time in less than a year for a warranty repair when I couldn't set the watch. Twice, in less than a year for the same problem. It's gonna be awhile, if ever, before I buy another fossil group watch.
Would def like the travel coverage to Tokyo or Singapore, wherever you end up ;)
Have a Tissot PRX with leather strap as my daily. I just find myself wearing it more than my others mostly because it looks good and if something does happen to it I won’t have to beg on the street to get it fixed
There are a lot of people that can not afford or do not want to afford a $ 5000 plus watch. The PRX delivers a high quality at a reasonable price. That's better than to waste your money on a cheap "fashion brand" watch like Michael Kors or crap like a Vincero, etc. My first watch was a Tissot and it keeps ticking since 1979.
If you are really looking for "bang for the buck" - avoid the Alps and head to the east.
Powermatic 80 have three grades. Middle one have regular escapement, top version have silicone hair spring. Mido use middle one and top one. Tissot and Cettina use basic plastic and regular depending on model.l if I am correct. Tissot Gentleman have regular escapement for example. ;)
Some people are desperate for attention and bad mouthing something popular is a great way to get it. PRX has gotten so many rave reviews that it's a natural target for them.
I really wanted the quartz version but none of the ones I have seen at several AD's hit any of the markers.
@@JeeGee114the white full lume dial using Precidrive thermo-compensated movement. So far I've seen them hitting most of the mark all the time.
@@JeeGee114 You do understand that this is a sub $400 watch?
@@Wjl889 I love mine and agree with the reviews. I don’t know about the quartz model though.
Thanks very much for the analysis of Zodiac, Fed. Great work as always!
Two thumbs up on the Lange movements, Fed. Thank you!
Please share info about your travel in Asia, especially HK!!! Thanks!
Definitely let us know about your travels in Asia.
Wearing that Breguet Marine gives you so much cred. It’s so dope
I own the Tissot PRX and love it so much it is my daily beater. So far it is comfortable and keeps great time so I would recommend it to anyone.
Why is the movement almost impossible to regulate? Why is it harder than a watch with those screws set around the rim?
Recent Zodiac fanboy here, I have both Olympos models and I can't say enough good things about them. No issues, and easily my favorite watches!
You are wrong.. Powermatic80 with 25 jewels (not plastic escapement parts) for Hamilton is also under $1,000 watches everywhere. Mido as well.
Some people eh? The Seiko SKX has a pretty sh1t movement. Yet you have one and I do too, since when did we buy inexpensive watches for their movements. Let me guess you won’t be having that serviced soon and neither will I. 🤔
That’s like comparing a Honda civic to a Porsche cayman.
One is an entry level car and one is an entry level luxury car. Complete apples to oranges comparison.
I bought my blue PRX back in march and I love it, I think a lot of people watch too many videos and listen to these RUclipsrs banging on about how rubbish they are suppose to be, my hasn't skipped a beat, I wear it at least once a week, in rotation with my other brands, if you fancy one, just get one and enjoy it..👌👌
This tissot prx is getting so much attention and some people want to criticize on compultion. 600 dollar watch getting mentioned so many times. This itself a success.
Famous tik tokker with some questions for Fed. Would you be buying this watch first if you only had that amount of money to spend on one watch and if not what would you he buying before it. Also why should any watch enthusiast be buying a mechanical watch that is not designed to be serviced. Thirdly, how can you call the watch Swiss made when pretty much all of it is made in Asia. Looking forward to your response 👍
I have a jetomatic and I am delighted, it is one of my favorite daily watches.
Content price and good quality.
I'm not a long-time collector, so I don't have any of the prejudices I see in some aficionados.
From my point of view the argument against Fossil is ridiculous. Swatch does exactly the same (with the exception that they don't have an infrastructure of fashion stores to sell their products).
The STP movement works great and is up to swellita, I don't know why so much drama with the brand if the reality is that for those of us who like watches it is lucky that this mythical brand continues to work.
*I have not had any problems with the movement and the lume is simply fantastic, I would say that it is better than that of my Citizen "fujitsubo".
Whenever I hear Fed’s opening music, I air-drum the high-hat.
Plenty of options out there with Swiss movement that aren't disposable for under a $1k
C07.111 definitely isn't disposable, C15 Swissmatic/System51 is.
@@watchnerds that's the word being used for it by many
@@Matthew-wn8oq but powermatic 80 movement ain't one though
Always love travel vlogs/insights!
The PRX is a great watch... And like he said, "for $600 what do you want?" You're not paying Rolex money or even half of a Longines for that matter. It's fantastic
For $600 we want SW200
Would love to watch travel segments
PRX in quartz = perfect
Its only offense is its slightly too big. Really wish they would offer it in 38MM...would be absolutely perfect
I have an older powermatic 80, maybe 5 years old. It keeps better time than my PRX and my Longines.
Did I miss the customary wrist watch check? 😊
Yes
I have one love it, green dial,..paid $450 for it in Ketchikan AK…it serves its purpose
Hmm... How do you service a Powermatic 80... What about taking the overpriced junk out and putting in a Hongzhu 6300 or maybe a Seagull ST2130?
I have a prx it’s a sweet watch for the money for sure I’ll be selling mine though as my collection has just gotten too big
I have two more suggestions for the "best looking movement" award: Lang & Heyne caliber VIII (in the L&H Georg), and Minerva MB M 16.29 (and the rattrapante version MB M 16.31) found in the Montblanc Minerva 1858. Those two, together with any manual Lange chronograph, might as well be worn upside down on the wrist :)
I think the PRX looks good but the plastic escarpement, and the idea that it is a 'semi-disposable' movement bothers me a bit. I have a Hamton Jazzmaster that also uses a modified ETA-2824-2 with an 80 hour power reserve that is all metal and under $400 USD. While the PRX is a nice watch I think it gets too much praise for its looks while ignoring its functional failings.
That’s an ignorant comment. The escapement wheel and pallet fork are made of polymer to improve endurance and lubrication. It’s not a failure. Quiet the contrary. Tissot deliberately chose polymer for a reason and it’s actually more difficult to use polymer as these are small precision parts.
@@Watchgang123if they’re so much better and harder to make them why do high end luxury brands avoid it?
So honest good job SIR !!!
Wouldn't say awful, but "meh", certainly.
Grazie per questo video, amico. Saluti.
Tissot PRX is great value, love mine
It is not great value. It's just not beyond any sanity. Something absolutely on par in terms of quality (including the movement!) can be had for around 1/4 maybe even 1/5 from the Chineese and 1/3 from the Japanese.
Hot Take Click Bait Nonsense.
I have 2 Tissot watches with the Powermatic 80 Movement. Both run + 2-5 sec/day. it cost 180 for a complete service from Tissot.
People have to get over it with PRX -- It is not haute horology, it's just a very nice Swiss-made watch with good looks and finishing at an accessible price point for the masses.
the prx is a good watch but TOO many people have them. I was travelling in Asia over the summer and literally, every 5th guy had a prx on.
Why do you care about other people? Enjoy what you like yourself. The PRX was indeed the first one, which found some tasteful 70-ties design and reissued it. Something not lacking good taste from the 70-ties is a rarity in itself. Something tasteful from the 60-ties or 80-ties is impossible.
Some customers expect too much. The PRX is not bad but it's definitely overhyped. New Zodiac I would stay away from but a Zodiac red dot Monnin case? Is an awesome watch or the Zodiac red dot chronograph both beauts and are the ones I would recommend collectors to go after because they still can be found at good prices. Even some NOS pieces turn up from time to time but Zodiac's new stuff just looks very cheap and way to many QC issues
I have the Powermatic 80 in a Tissot Gentleman, and the thing is absolutely rock solid at -2 sec/day. Not regulatable? Don't care!! On the other hand, I have a Hamilton with a "normal" escapement, (which is essentially the same as the Powermatic otherwise), which is degrading by the month....currently -10 sec/day, and getting worse. I'm about to send that one to Hamilton, and I fully expect them to swap out the movement for the $200 (or so) service fee. Somewhat expensive....but cheaper than a new watch!
The gentleman uses a different (metal) escapement compared to the PRX.
I love my PRX. So many other enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts love it. Whatever the haters say, I do not care. I bought something I thoroughly enjoy wearing and that's what collecting should be about.
Hey let’s face it, everyone has different expectations for their money. At the end of the day if it takes someone a 3 months to buy a PRX versus someone that can afford to buy one every week, the latter is probably going to see it as a great value.
I was excited for the prx. I stepped into a tissot shop, saw the prx, but didn’t bother to ask the salesman to let me try. It didn’t help that I was shopping for a datejust prior to this haha
Love my Zodiac. Wore it today.been loving it since i picked it up
Watch travel trip episodes would be great to watch, hope you get them done please.
A moonswatch is a disposable watch and it’s almost $300 with tax
One thing being ridiculous is not the right justification for another one. It's just testament to all the fun the Swiss have when going with the huge profits to the bank.
Re the PRX and what do you expect for under $1000; Seiko can make a watch with an all metal movement for under $200 which has a chance of lasting as long as my 1917 Waltham trench watch. The PRX will never do that.

I just ordered PRX 80 40mm auto with the 80 pr. I think its a fun watch.Ill pretend its a 222😅
Time is ticking, enjoy it while it lasts! The Tissot PRX is a sexy buy for the bucks. You can’t expect a Ferrari at the price of a Toyota. If it works, it works. Wear it and enjoy, if it goes bad, get a Seiko.🤣
I believe the TikTok's major beef with the Tissot PRX is the fact that its a shit movement/watch claiming for being "Swiss Made" when it clearly isn't.
Uhh... How do you know? Any proof?
Criteria to be swiss made is that a watch has to meet the requirement of minimum 60% of Swiss value. Previous requirements, such as the incorporation of a Swiss movement, casing-up and final inspection in Switzerland, remain in place.
And you know what's the real shit movement/watch? Seiko Presage. Overpriced expensive shit like dating a really beautiful faced lady with a retarded brain with body/skin looks like she's been beat up by her ex but hey, she's still pretty.
More of a seiko fan
I know what I’m getting when I buy Seiko. There’s plastic parts here and there, but the critical parts are metal. With the Tissot having a plastic escapement is a huge red flag for me. I’d rather have less power reserve and a metal escapement.
My problem is that disposable movement means disposable watch. If I want a disposable watch I can buy a basic g-shock that is durable and I can replace the battery.

@@watchnerdsif you were a watchmaker for Tissot then you’d know they don’t bother serving their Powermatic 80 movements, they replace them, thus making them disposable.
@@Jake-bt3fc being disposable means it straight to the bin. And NO that is not what happened with any of exchanged movement from ETA. The old movement is sent to the manufacturer HQ in Swiss to be serviced so it decreased our workload in the local service center worldwide. Service time for mechanical watch without complication is normally 3.5 hours, and even more if the watch has complications like complete calendar, chronograph, etc. It'll take months just to fix your tissot if that what happened. So instead, we collect all the old movement, even the rusty crusty ones, then send it to the HQ to be reprocessed, dismantled, parts that is still usable being cleaned, melting the rusty/unusable parts to be remade as material, remaking parts, QC, washing, assembly, relubricating, testing, stress test, QC again, then repackage to be sent to the service center worldwide. So everything is being repaired, it's just that it did not happened in the local service center but in HQ. So no it's not disposable movement
I only wish the inside edge of the PRX bracelet was smoother.
Even Tudor have too sharp edges on the back of the case, which to me is mind-blowing
Go to your wife and borrow a fine-gritt nail file.
@@javahaxxor Yeep. All those cases where made without being even touched by a human.
@@rosomak8244 that's not really my point. When I tried the Pelagos, I really liked the look and feel. Then i almost cut myself on the case edge, and had that wtf shock. Turned it around, and to my surprise, no see through case back. For a LOOOT of money. So I gave it back to the clerk and said I'm not convinced. I thought about buffing out those edges, but then I would have bought an unfinished product, just to finish it myself. A couple of weeks later a friend handed me his Seamaster, and everything that was meh with the Pelagos, was just right with the Omega. I don't know, maybe I'm expecting a certain level of excellence from a luxury brand, subsidiary of Rolex . Other people will buy just about anything with a brand name on it. I guess I wouldn't expect perfectness from Tissot, but Ive handled a Gentleman and there was nothing wrong with that one.
Irony is that 4000€ Tudor has the same powermatic movement!!
In my opinion, Tissot has a serious misunderstanding about the design of their products. Their quartz watches don't look as pleasing as traditional quartz watches. Their T-touch smartwatch feels neither as smart as an iWatch nor as stable as a mechanical watch.
I’ve owned a couple of PRXs and flipped them quickly. The case finish and dial aren’t good enough for me.
It’s been a fun phenomenon.
I can see not liking the design of the dial, but the fit and finish seems about perfect -- and I'm pretty picky.
@@robertbrandywine I ended up getting back in with a pair of PRX 35 mechanicals when they arrived. The gold and ice blue tapestry dials looked way better than the navy (which is fine). Case is still sharp edged but who cares.
Like the WatchCrunch channel guy I changed my mind when the 35 Powermatics came out. The mechanical movement even seems to look better. Might be my imagination.
Yes, the case and bracelet are sharp edged but this can be thought of as a design choice, I suppose. @@TwentyOne_Five
The Tissot Ballade is a better option compared to the PRX IMO.
I have the PRX. It isn’t.

Which country of Asia do you travel to buy watches that makes you feel unsafe? If it’s Singapore you are very very wrong bro …
I would say overhyped. But the point - in this case - is the obsession with mechanical movements, a classic nonsense of contemporary watch fandom. A PRX makes more sense with a quartz movement: easier, cheaper and more efficient in day to day usage.
Excellent video you get what you paid for
The 2824 family has never let me down. I prefer my Rolex, but love my different watches and wear them all hard.
who said that the tissot prx is awful?
It is a classic.
I love it when Fed drops a bullsh*t.

Zodiac or novida gretchen ?
IT WILL BE GREAT TO SEE A VIDEO OF YOUR TRIP.
Prx is a great value watch. However, the bracelet is soo sharp that you can cut a steak with it 😂 Had to say goodbye, which was a shame 😢
The watch regulator on tiktok is a complete joke
