Wow!...nice production...congrats...been seriously considering an Oysterquartz for a while, but tough to justify when the PRX is around for roughly 1/20 the price...spot on
Would love to have that rolex too, if money didn't matter. For now, there are a lot more options on top of my list besides the PRX. Really glad you liked the video. Hope you can consider subscribing. Thanks!
nice production man! i just got the ice blue yesterday. If you have below 7 inch wrist, get the 35 one, because it is bigger than the stats suggest. I unfortunately got the one where the second hand is not really aligned with the indices, but it is still acceptable because when I look at the watch as a whole, it is just an absolutely killer watch. super comfortable, dare I say the bracelet is more comfy than my omega seamaster (which also don't have micro adjustment, at a significantly higher price). I also have taken it for a swim, submerged it for a couple of seconds at a time at no more than 1m deep. The watch is fine. if you've got 375 bucks, get it.
For your size, its more accurate to buy the 40. My size is 16'5cm and i've got some doubts. The 37-38mm size would be perfect for lot of people. I think this size will be the next PRX release!
I tried on the 40mm at the AD, seriously wished it fit me better 'cause the one with a brushed blue dial was my top pick of the line. But the non-articulating end links made the effective length of the watch too big for my wrist. I'm keeping this . . . until Tissot releases that brushed blue dial in 35. By the way, I think 35mms with Powermatic 80 were announced recently. Thanks for the tip anyway. Hope you liked the video and could consider subscribing. Have a good day!
Yeah, I've heard a lot about that issue. Surprisingly, my copy perfectly hits all the markers. Made sure of that at the AD before finalizing my purchase. Hope you can consider subscribing to the channel.
@@markv.5962 I'm afraid there won't be a fix for that. I've read somewhere though that the misalignment issue with the ETAF06115 varies on the orientation of the movement. Luckily, mine absolutely hits all markers with the dial facing up, which is all I really care for. If that misalignment issue is what's keeping you from getting the PRX, I'll have to say it's not a deal breaker. You'll most likely be staring at the case and bracelet finishing more than that very thin seconds hand. Hope that helps.
@@wristrants Tissot's not the only manufacturer that has problems with this; in fact it's easier to point out the ones who seem to have few problems. Leaving aside companies such as Grand Seiko, one of the brands that has a good track record in this respect is Citizen for example. There's a lot of rubbish talked about the reason for misalignment including inaccrurate dial printing and now, it seems, caliber orientation. If it were the latter then the degree of 'miss' would be same all the way round the dial, but it isn't. Everyone who's encountered this alignment disappointment tells the same story; for example, at some points on the dial its short of marker, then it catches up at another point, then it's ahead of the marker. The crucial commonality is that it exactly repeats that pattern on every 360° revolution. There's only one thing that can logically account for all this, and that is inaccurate cutting and meshing together of the gear wheels. The companies that don't have problems have obviously invested a lot of time and money in this area, while others feel they can get away with it. One of the reasons we get into quality watches is their promise of accuracy and attention to detail in all departments. It's my only real gripe with quartz, so when I buy one, particularly with dress watches, I choose one without a second-hand, or occasionally one with a small subsecond dial which barely shows the problem.
@@mitchellsmith1593 since last year i think. actually had a hard time choosing between that and this prx at the ad when i got this. blue, white, and 2-tone were available from launch. . .but just last month a black dial came out. and by the way, a 35mm prx with powermatic 80 was also announced.
ganda naman sir. and good value for money pa rin. if they released a 35mm powermatic 80, might have considered too. or for the same price, you can get a quartz tissot plus a tsuyosa.
I'm sorry but I don't have a datejust to compare. . . I really wish I had. But I'm guessing this should have a slightly bigger presence due to the integrated bracelet design.
Shouldn't be a problem at all if done properly. Having it done by a trusted service shop shouldn't cost much either if you're not confident doing it yourself. Hope that helps.
@@wristrants Thank you! Also one more, i heard that the Prx automatic is not serviceable & can be serviced only by Tissot, so i think it's more practical to buy the quartz version? Since I'am going to use it for 15-20 years.
@@maximus3233 didn't know about that. i think the quartz is the better value. . . and more true to the original from the 70s. glad to help! hope you can consider subscribing.
It’s ok, no need to apologise! I thought it was a really good video 👍 Kind of disappointing it’s not a screw down case back though. I’m currently wearing a £40 Lorus (seiko) field watch with a screw down back, it’s a fraction of the price of a PRX.
@@wristrants Subscribed! I’m looking forward to your review of the Lorus. Mine’s got the full lumibrite dial. It’s the perfect everyday watch for me. 100 m water resistance, day/date complication, brilliant bright lume, perfect size. I’ve got it on a black nato.
@@peteglanton9259 really appreciate it. thanks! not actually a lorus, but a nearly identical alba, which i think is the exact counterpart for the asian market.
I hope they do release more color variants for both sizes soon. My wrist size could only take the 35mm but I really like the blue dial with a brushed finish. Thanks for chiming in. Hope you can consider subscribing.

Lovely vid man, helped me see just how amazing this watch is
Purchased the gold 35mm prx for myself. Love it,!
The watch is affordable not cheap
Well said my friend

The reason I bought the Tissot PRX 35 mm quartz is because it is an exact remake of of the 1978 Tissot Seastar! I also own the original!
That seastar would be my birth year watch. Yet to find one in good condition. Till then, this PRX is just perfect.
I'm afraid my birth year watch would be a bumper automatic!

It's a fine watch EXCEPT the secondhand alignment. That shouldn't be a problem on an ETA quartz movement at this price; but it is.

maybe. . . but not so soon. saving up for the 36mm seastar.
Whens that model out?

The Powermatic Movement must be sent back to Tissot to be repaired
@@davidcrandall4958 why?
Please will this 35mm wear slightly larger or smaller than my Datejust 36mm..Thank you

I can't stop watching this video! Damm! Lol!

Is there a bigger version...I love the look but it looks too petite on my wrist
The powermatic80 versions have a 40mm diameter. I think that size would be perfect for up to 8-inch wrists.

How long the battery will last?
haven't had mine that long to confirm, but these standard ETA quartz movements should have around 4-5 years of battery life. hope that helps!
Is it a snap on case back? 😕
it is. i'm really sorry to miss that in the review.
It’s ok, no need to apologise! I thought it was a really good video 👍
Kind of disappointing it’s not a screw down case back though. I’m currently wearing a £40 Lorus (seiko) field watch with a screw down back, it’s a fraction of the price of a PRX.

too bad Tissot didn't make a PRX 40mm quartz in a bright white with gold hands or silver hands.
