My wife got this for me for Father's Day and I'm in love with it. And her. I love both of them. But not equally, I love my wife, much much more. Here are five things you didn’t know about the new Tissot PRX Chronograph. These are my opinions, and let me caveat this with the fact that I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Hope you enjoy the video.
This watch has sparked and waved flames on two debate that have captured the hearts and minds of enthusiasts since this years watches and wonders. Do I care if a watch I very much love, is very much thick? The Tudor black bay pro was the spark and this is the gasoline. The second debate is on the best automatic chronograph, under $2,000. Maybe even under $2500 or more. Go look for the most affordable automatic chronograph you can find. Is it thinner than this? Okay, is it an accurate movement? Okay, is it as good looking as this? If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are probably looking at a quartz watch which isn’t automatic, a vintage piece on eBay or a watch that wasn’t made in Switzerland, Germany, Japan or France. Join these debates, how thick is your thickest watch, does that keep you from loving it? Leave a comment with your favorite automatic chronograph and tell me the price and the thickness. What’s the best automatic chronograph under $3k. This has my vote. Let’s take a look at the dial.
This blue is from Star Trek. The vertical brushing creates a holographic dial like nothing I have ever seen before. Every time you look at it, It transforms- in different lighting, at different angles, and of course at different times of day. The only thing that doesn’t change is this stellar contrast and legibility against this brilliantly silver framed off white subdials. Sometimes it’s a navy blue that May look black and make for a very handsome reverse panda. Or it’s a royal blue, like a dim cerulean in sunlight. It’s beyond vibrant, it feels technologically advanced and interesting. With a linen dial you can become familiar with the pattern of the designer dial. Not here- this brushing will bring a lifetime of visual interest at every glance.
The pushers are flexible yet confidence inspiring. By flexible if you can see here, they can move slightly which brings me joy because it means when you push these while at different angles, the mechanism is forgiving. What do I mean by that. With some pushers, if you do it at an angle, it can bend or damage the pusher and make it loose. With these, they really operate like futuristic buttons on a spaceship (and look like it too!) let’s talk confidence: When you push this pusher it clicks with confidence like that click when you lock your front door, it’s a purposeful sound that elicits intentionality and only comes with high quality movements and construction. You can’t operate this chronograph by accident and I’m in love with that.

It’s not all sundials and rainbows, right? There are two features of this watch that you will either love or hate. This helium escape valve will not save you or your watch’s life because this is not a helium escapement. You gotta push this button to change the date. If you’re a klutz you might scratch your own watch case or if you’re the kind of person a la Jack Forster of Hodinkee, who enjoys a spectrum of multivariate engagements with your watch you’ll fall in love this intimate feature you only get with beautiful mechanical timepieces.
The packaging is 100% recyclable. Good job Tissot. Complaining about this packaging is just complaining about environmental sustainability for the earth which is awkward. I get it, this is luxury, you want to have the best of the best. Yet at less than $1800, this watch, with its finishing, it’s legibility, it’s traditional yet futuristic case with best in class movement, in my opinion, not it’s packaging,
My person opinion: This is the most stylish and perhaps best looking watch Tissot has ever released. It’s a science fiction watch with innovation to empower its vintage pizazz. The PRX quartz doesn’t hit all the markers and is missing a framed date window that the pm80 has. The pm80 has the beloved waffle dial yet is a bit tame. This has provenance both in the movement and In these intricate subdials. They opened photoshop, selected this bezel and case and dragged it to enlarge it so the proportions are still decadent and just right yet with even more shine and bling from the polished edges and more sophistication imho.
May be the best you can do under $2000. Leave a comment and let me know how you feel about this watch.

Ryan, the best compliment I can give you for this amazing review, is that I want a PRX now and I’m going shopping!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch today. Really appreciate your kind words and attention. Enjoy your shopping spree!
If they made this in 38-40mm, with no date and slightly slimmer, I would buy one immediately...
I have the white face/rose gold hands version, and I've had it for a week. I've never gotten so many compliments so quickly on any of my other watches, ever
Hope you are doing well. Always enjoy your reviews! More thorough and fun than others.
thank you so much my friend!
First, I love your review. It is spot on, "the value, the statement a watch makes and price" helps sell someone on this watch. I have a PRX and people come up to be all the time to tell me they love my watch. A Tissot is like that out going friend that helps you in business and social circles. So it is important to invest in yourself and your image.
Tissot is killing it man, this watch is beautiful 👏 congrats brother! I do wish they can slim it down for the small wrist crowd.
One thing's for sure. It doesn't look like an $1800 watch, not on paper, nor on the wrist. Is it the best valjoux... I mean value for money? Yes, yes, yes. I've handled $6k chrono watches that this PRX would eat for breakfast. I own a P80 version, blue dial, and it just stands out in my collection like a jewel.
I pulled the trigger on one of these yesterday. Love it.
It really is a stellar looking watch! Great review 👍
Thanks, Jeremy!!!
love this watch. great video Ryan!!!
It’s a good one! Learning from the best, my friend!
Great review man. Really enjoyed the in depth look and wrist shots. My wrist is around 7.25-7.5 and I’m seeing that’s about the same as you. Looks really good on you. Subbed!
Love this review! Changing the date is tricky. Thanks for going into detail about this time piece.
It’s amazing you took time out of your day to share with me, Kelly. Looking forward to hearing what’s on your wrist today.

hi longtime good to see you back
Thanks for the nice message Omar hope you’re doing well

Toothpicks are the best tool to push those tiny pushers.

Just class
Top tier timepiece!
Ryan beautiful watch,never really been into chronographs,my favourite is the white dial powermatic.
My friend, I agree. It’s obvious that the white Powermatic is gorgeous. I have truly enjoyed wearing it every single time.
I had a Hamilton Spirit of Liberty chronograph. Beautiful silver sunray dial, but since it's derived from a Valjoux 7750, it was thick. I traded it and still miss it but couldn't get it to fit right on my round 7.25" wrist. Amazing value for the price (< $700 new during Black Friday). I love the design on this Tissot but don't think I could pull it off.
Beautiful watch, great review, new sub.
Thanks my friend
i bot a 2nd hand Tissot Prc200 auto. its very thick.
This Tissot reminds me of the Zenith chrono, the square one from the 1970 era.. which is still offered
Nice
Bro i love mine also. I have the white one with gold.
Good watch .........but... me gusta un AP ROYAL OAK però no tengo el dinero 🤔🤔🤔
Exactamente. Quiero un AP tambien
I have a question. Is it true that the powermatic P80 movement on the white dial PRX doesn t have any durability throughout the years? I ve heard that the movement last as long as the warranty, is it true? Plus an other HUGE CON is that these kind of movements are not serviceable, what about this? Really hyped up about these Tissot watches, but these facts make me back down. What s your take on this?
Thx in advance :)
Killer review, Ryan! Glad to see you doing a review again. Enjoy your beautiful timepiece!
Thanks for your consistent support my friend. It really means a lot to me.
I have a Q? Do the chrono pushers wobble?
Its fucking class mate and off a monster watch house "tissot". I want more offerings like this.
For reference I have the tudor BB panda chronograph £4 retail. Good vid mate
Thank you my friend. You truly understand this piece and the opportunity it presents. So grateful you took time out of your day to watch the watch 😊
hi ryan a wooding tooth peek is safer will not scratch the case.
Will definitely use this !
Yeah that Tissot is really cool; for a modern watch it really stands out. I love my blue-dialled steel Oysterquartz, but could really go for one of these too.
So glad i found your channel. 2 things i love knives amd watches.
Where have you been? Very interesting watch….. I’m not a chrono guy. But I get it.
Life happens! 😊 I’m back with a holy vengeance.
@@KnifeWatch / no Sinn watches then….
@@baronbristow8764 exactly ! Sold the 104
@@KnifeWatch I rarely take mine off.
I think your reviews would be elavated without the gif cutaways. You have great commentary without the need for distractions. Good vid my friend. 👍
Thank you for the feedback, my friend! Very grateful you spent time in your day to give the video a look.
@@KnifeWatch I however enjoyed and encourage more gif cutaways. So.... do what you think is best man, Just saying
@@Jesse-Rodriguez appreciate both sides of the spectrum. I’ll include them - only when they clearly enhance and help exemplify the points I’m making.
I enjoyed the review and I've watched a fair few on this watch. I see in the comments that you have a 7.25 - 7.5 inch wrist. Mines 8 on a cool day and I'm not sure this watch strap will be big enough? What do you think?
Great video! I own the 40mm Gold Quartz PRX and like the 222 videos from it.
This chrono is great and good value for the money, I have several chronos with the same movement. My favorite chrono for $1700 is my FC manufacturers chronograph with a black gray dial and rose gold.... a patek homage and beautiful in its own right! I got a refurbished model on eBay for $1700, normally they are about $4000.00. It’s also an in-house movement with an alligator strap. BUT this Tissot is a great value and beautiful watch, worth getting and looks more expensive than it’s $1700.
I would use a toothpick, won't scratch the case.
Yo loving the content Ryan! Just bought a Lorier Hydra II x Worn and Wound after watching all your videos and so hype! Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your purchase! Enjoy that gorgeous watch in long life and good health!
@@KnifeWatch Thanks man! I absolutely love your taste in watches. Tudor is my grail brand to own, and I love Tissot as well! Hopefully will be a proud owner of the black bay 58 and date + day when I have the means for it! Wishing you good health as well!
@@jeanjoun2774 great minds think alike 😆. That lorier is a grail for many and I would love to hear how you enjoy it moving forward
@@KnifeWatch should be receiving it Friday… I’ll give you a shout when I have it on wrist!
@@jeanjoun2774 I’m already excited
Hopefully you'd see this comment, I've been eyeing this since it's release, so I'd like to ask if you think if it's okay for someone with a 6.7 wrist?
I honestly might end up being that guy wearing a bigger watch but I'd like your opinion, thanks!
It will fit your wrist and look great because, technically the watch doesn't have a lug-to-lug like traditional watches. The bigger question is if you love the look of that dial. Even a large person with a large wrist would agree its a bigger watch but if you love this watch with it's incredible proportions, unbeatable dial and amazing value proposition, you're going to love every second of looking at your wrist.
wrist size
7.25 - 7.5 inches
It looks best on a 7.5 inch wrist in my opinion. I have a 7 inch wrist and it looks totally ridiculous unfortunately. I love the design but I hate the dimensions.
Edit: Very interesting, I got mine (Ordered in Switzerland, shipped to Germany) and it came in a solid, square, glossy box with a hinge and cushions inside.
How are you enjoying it so far?
@@KnifeWatch With mixed feelings. The design is a 10/10, hence I bought it. It feels very heavy and bold but it is a great watch overall. A Solid and decently finished movement, clear case back, great bracelet, the price is alright… would rate it a 7/10 all in all
@@ToolwatchBoutique thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts here. (Most comments never get followed up on). It’s not for everybody and at the same time it’s so objectively beautiful we simply can’t look away. Enjoy it in long life and good health, my friend
I mean to say $1750 is a luxury watch is pushing the word “luxury”. I want this watch but it’s an ultra entry luxury watch at that price. But a very expensive Tissot. Also the box is on par with the price. The money was spent on the watch. You don’t need a box to be as nice as a Rolex or Omega with a Tissot. And lastly at this moment I still think the white dial is nicer and need to see both in person.
Thanks for your comment, my friend! Agree with the pricing analysis here
Plus unlike a Rolex you’re not paying above RRP, in fact I got mine for 25 percent off RRP.
@@tariqjoseph3562 again great watch but Rolex really shouldn’t be in the same sentence. Tissot is more on par with Seiko in regards to pricing. So really that should be the comparison here along with the fact that the movement they’re using for this watch has been used in more expensive watches from other luxury brands making this a great purchase.
@@TheCdM1981 the cheapest automatic seiko chronograph is £2600. That’s a whopping £1100 more than the Tissot. Tissot is the best luxury watch for the money out there. Especially if can be purchased for 25/30 percent off.
