Budget luxury watch killer below $700: Tissot PRX Automatic review

Soo ... yeah, there's a new player in town and it looks like it is here to stay: With it's PRX, Tissot knocked it out of the park and provides us with an automatic, Swiss made watch that - for most people- could very well be the BEST OPTION BELOW $1.000!
What are your thoughts on the PRX? Which version would you prefer - quartz or automatic?
Let me know what you think in the comments down below!
Here's my review of the Tissot Gentleman

My son, who has excellent taste in watches, had been eyeing the PRX 80 for a while when I got him one for Christmas. He loves it as much as I loved getting it for him.

I refuse to equate luxury to price, especially nowadays when “new money” has displaced watch enthusiasm in so many ways. This is a true affordable luxury watch. Great video Jenni.

Agree no matter the price, the really thing that matters is the effort and the quality on the watch

@@Luis_fer_saldana So well said. thats why I always say that one should judge watches by what they bring to the table and seiko cocktail timers are way better option than tissot

[@TekindusT]

I bought that same watch last October and it's made every morning a challenge ever since. It's now difficult to find a reason to wear the other watches in my collection. It's a honeymoon period that's lasting way longer than I thought. The case and bracelet are so dynamic that it's hardly ever going to become boring on the wrist, and personally I find it very comfortable to wear in any situation, be it in the office, for a night out, for a more formal event, meeting for brunch with friends... The PRX can do it all!

[@RCrescente]

Have been enjoying mine for a couple of months now. In the real world, this watch punches well above its weight. The fit and finish is very impressive and on par with much more expensive pieces I have owned or handled.

[@UsmanKhan-qb6dk]

[@itsalgud1459]

You nailed it on this one Jeni, I couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve had this watch for almost 2 months I simply cannot believe the detailed polishing at this price. I spend a lot of time looking at watches online and trying to keep up with what’s hot and what’s not. This one’s a killer. It plays With the light in amazing ways due to the chamfered edges on the case and the indices. I’ve heard people say it’s comparable to watch is costing twice as much and I really can’t argue. Thanks for another good review.

[@Tamarac24]

Hi Jenni, great content here congrats! I actually got this watch on a recent trip to Europe and love it. Keep up the good work!

[@GeonQuuin]

I'm definitely waiting for the 35mm version. Hopefully they also release an automatic version as well

[@spenym14]

I’ve owned mine for 6 months and I absolutely love it

[@jrgdrumsandwatches]

I own this blue dial version since it was released. Truly amazing value for money, finishing, build quality, all very well done. Became a favorite daily watch for me, I love it! And running at +2 sec/day it's performing very well 👍

[@riothero313]

I have the blue dial version also and it seems like so many people sleep on it and get the black. I think the photos online are deceptive and don't show how dark the blue actually is.

[@mikescafidi]

I opted for the quartz movement. To me, it seemed a little silly to pay tribute to a late 70's quartz design reference by purchasing the automatic version. The PRX is the only quartz watch that I own, and I don't regret my decision. In a sea of automatic watches, it is actually very refreshing to put the PRX on and not have to worry about it. As a matter of fact, I like the PRX so much that on a recent trip to Italy, where I had to pack light as a matter of practicality, the PRX was the only watch I took.

[@noBrainGam1ng]

Exactly my thoughts! I also have the PRX for the same reasons

[@mikescafidi]

@Will Harris If it’s misaligned, send it back. It’s that simple. Mine was perfect out of the box.

[@WaiLIp]

@@mikescafidi I walked up to a TISSOT store one day to check out the PRX on display, I saw the second hand didnt hit the mark ask one of the staff about the QC issue, and then the staff literally tell me that's how it is with the quartz, and if I prefer the hand hitting the mark, I should go for the automatic one. I was really mind blown by the mindset of that staff.

[@mjhastings4534]

​@Will Harris yes I haven't found one that aligns and it's always on the up not the down

[@Chad_Max]

@@willharris6492 Quality control comes into play for sure, BUT quartz movements by design have some backlash so you will never find a swiss quartz movement that hits on each marker with 100% dead on accuracy. You find this with everything from Tissot to the Omega Seamaster to the Rolex Oyster Quartz, the latter being the most overengineered quartz movement in history....

[@smax13]

I literally searched for your review an hour ago and was wondering why you haven’t reviewed it yet. Thanks for your opinion on this watch!!

[@nicovandyk3856]

Thanks for the videos Jenni! I agree, Tissot is a great brand to start off with

[@RichiePaidso]

I've owned the Quartz version for about a year now. Absolutely gorgeous watch. Whenever, I wear it, I often catch people just staring at my wrist, before catching themselves when they realised I'm watching them staring at my wrist. In my opinion, the Quartz version is the way to go. Go ahead and pull the trigger if you haven't already. Lovely watch.

[@566johncena]

Amazing review ❤❤ I love the fact you mentioned the case size with wrist size for comparison ❤

[@TheGunDude]

This is a great watch. I have the same blue automatic version and it’s great. Really accurate for what it is, and comfortable. They did also release a 35mm recently that would look good on you!

[@raygacy]

Love this video! Just got it few months ago and I would say I have no regrets getting it 😊

[@tonygiles1841]

I didn't need another sub £1,000 automatic so I bought the quartz. Great value; you get most of the best design features at almost half the price, plus it's "grab and go".

[@K.J.H_]

More faithful to the original prx too

[@silk2322]

I couldn't justify going for the quartz for the fact that I prefer the look of the Automatic, plus if I already have more expensive watches the chance of me ever grabbing a quartz over another sub $1000 watch in collection is lower. But if you prefer the look and originality of the quartz then it make 100% to ppick it.

hi tony! how long would it take before you'd have to change the battery?

[@billybenson3834]

I bought this quite a while in the black dial automatic. The AD installed an extra link for me free (why I go to an AD) but later I decided I needed another link for comfort. Called customer service at Tissot and bought an extra 2 links for $6.50ea. Customer service was great and delivery quick, all I needed was one link and now this watch is extra comfortable. Most people won't need an extra link or two anyway, but my wrists are thicker than average. It's a large watch for many, what's not said here is they offer quite a few colors in the new 35mm diameter and they too look stunning. Tissot also make some beautiful straps for it but the SS bracelet is stunning. It's my wife's favorite watch that I own. Well done Tissot!

[@MohamedAyach]

I've got mine 6 months ago and I simply in love with it !

All your videos are great. I am an old man and I have been collecting watches in Argentina since the 50´s, before watch quartz and when electronics, Bulovas and quartz arrived, we were so happy and excited to get accurate and economic watches. Mechanical seemed obsolete (they sill are...). Now seem younger collectionists prefer mechanical as they name them in these times. I still collect economic Made in Brasil Seiko/Orient , Citizen and Timex "mechanical". U$S 1000 is too costly in my poor country. it is the salary of a whole year my dear. I am very happy that youth still collects and all that you have learnt. Cheers from frozen Patagonia.

[@Mr_Memer.876]

I'm going to go for the 35mm version, as I prefer the vintage sizing

[@riothero313]

I have the 40mm. I definitely would like the 35mm but, with my eyesight it would just be a piece of jewelry lol

[@lebojay]

On this watch, for me, the jumping second hand on the quartz model suits the 70s style. The watch that most resembles this one is the Oysterquartz, so embrace the battery-powered movement.

[@Brosig18]

Just got one with the green dial, it's absolutely stunning. Truly a joy to look at your wrist through the day and see it.

[@nickhayes4169]

I'm waiting for mine to arrive. 😁

[@jaredtaylor6543]

I love how your all your videos in general have so much insight on just plain good watches and focus on the features, build quality, and stuff that watch "snobs" just don't even cover. Beautiful watch. I will say the one other difference between the PRX and Tissot Gentleman is that the gentleman has the silicon balance spring whereas the PRX has the usual Nivachron. Cheers.

[@andytiller4528]

Hi Jenni I have owned this watch for just under a year now and I have to say its fantastic! I have some really cool and way more expensive. But this watch has easily had more wrist time then all the others. It does suit a larger wrist. I have had so many compliments as well about it. I believe tissot are going to launch a 36mm version very soon and you can get it on a leather strap

[@Kurt49]

Just bought the new ice blue Prx automatic. Absolutely love it.

[@vladsharp2895]

I got the green dial version of Powermatic 80 and it’s amazing 😻

[@MartinStrang]

I got the white dial rose gold bezel PRX three months ago and it has been a daily wearer. I have watches costing 8 times the PRX and I have not been using them really. I find this watch brilliantly executed in all areas, the finishing in excellent and the bracelet very very comfortable. They even saved our coin by providing a cool designed but very affordable box to allocate those funds in the watch itself to provide all this value. Very Smart Tissot, well done. I`m sure the 1.7k valjoux chrono prx is another winner.

[@user-oo9py9bi1p]

I have actually just bought this watch two hours ago. Loving it

[@liverpoolVS]

I have quartz tissot couturier many years and like it. But when I saw automatic PRX in store I just tried it and "I want it, take my money". And still in love with its dial, finishing and movement. Definitely one of the best for $1k

I just ordered the gold PRX and I’m so excited 🤩 I have automatic watches so for this one I chose the Quartz version. But I would recommend people to get the automatic version over the quartz :) !!!

[@renrickalexander7993]

I have the quartz version and it is also a stunner. Love this watch the 40mm isn’t that big even on a small wrist like mine but a smaller version is now out in uk

[@Greg-qw7xl]

Have the quartz also. While shopping for one at a department store they had three to choose from. Out of the three only one of them had the seconds hand land on all of the markers which I thought would be a given for a Tissot or a Swiss watch. Bought the black dial with the second hand that landed correctly. I might add that it resembles Rolex Datejust Oyster quartz 17000. Love it also btw.

[@Nickos1b]

I managed not to buy a new watch this year but this is it! I'm going for the PRX. And as for the quartz vs mechanical I would save the money and choose quartz if it wasn't for the waffle dial that tipped the scale. If only there was a 38mm 😢 Anyway out comes the plastic now.

[@manuelnegrete2168]

Hi Jenni, I received my Tissot PRX blue dial auto on leather. I also have a Tissot Le Locle small second in my collection and my goodness this watch is sooo[ much nicer as to fit and finish. . It is perfect on my 7.5 inch wrist. I have a self imposed amount of money that I will spend on a watch. My most costly watch is a Longines Big Eye and the detail on this prx looks just as nice and for alot less money. Thank you for your excellant reviews.....

[@erikenqvist9081]

I got mine in the mail today. Love it.

[@balesjo]

I really like the PRX Automatic with the waffle dial.. The dial is what does it for me. Even though I have a small wrist and the 35mm PRX was appealing in regards to the size, I didn't want the quartz movement or giving up the waffle dial. I finally took the plunge and bought the PRX automatic and love it! A bit larger on my wrist than I'm used to, I find I don't mind the size so bothersome in a sports watch. Word of warning, buy the watch with the bracelet. If you want the strap, Tissot sold blue and black straps on their website for a reasonable charge. I bought my watch with the leather strap, then decided I wanted the bracelet. I finally found the Tissot bracelet in Germany, and by the time I had it in hand it cost over 3 times as much as a Tissot leather strap. Buying the watch with bracelet up front was less then $50 USD more than the watch with a strap.

[@harmoniaartificiosa]

I have the automatic and love it. It’s very impressive to look at it up close through a macro lens. But simply holding it in your hand tells you what kind of quality you’re dealing with. That solid feeling, usually only found in higher price categories. If they release the 35mm version with the Powermatic 80-movement I will get one of those too!

[@balesjo]

Agree, a 35mm automatic would be a winner. Hopefully Tissot will release one in the not-to-distant future.

It's a nice, well made watch that doesn't break the bank (much), which, in itself, is a luxury these days. If something has to be expensive to be luxury, well, I'm afraid they are no real watch enthousiasts, but cork sniffing brand snobs. There are so many great timepieces out there that don't cost an arm and a leg, which you can enjoy a lot too, no need to downtalk these. Thanks for highlighting this in this video too, Jenni. I happen to have the Tudor Royal and I get what you're saying, I'm actually considering trading mine in for something else.

[@24934637]

Good evening / Good morning Jenni, hope you are having a lovely day. I like the Tissot that you review first, but hate that 'waffle' effect, personally I think it would be better with a sunburst effect only on the automatic!

Greetings from Dubai Thank you for another excellent episode the powermatic 80 is an amazing watch.

[@craigkovach8475]

Tissot does make some very nice watches for great prices. An even more amazing value than this one and the Gentleman is the Tissot Couturier Powermatic day/date which incredibly you can pick up these days with a little bit of on-line shopping for around $340.

[@tiote_paris6106]

I have the 40mm quartz version and it’s such a good looking watch. The bracelet looks has is really well finished and wouldn’t be out of place on something with a much higher price tag. I’m crossing my fingers that they release an automatic version of the 35mm before Christmas though as I’ve got fairly skinny wrists and although the 40mm fits well enough I think the 35 would be perfect

Great Video Jenni! Honestly, due to selling watches daily, I rarely give a watch a second look after having them in shop for a few days but the PRX is a watch I keep “trying on” months later. Maybe it’s time I just bring one (or two) home. 🤔

[@JasonDeGraw]

Honestly I loved this one so much on all the online places. Butttt seeing it in real life, made me go for the Seastar 2000, because that one fits bigger and also has powermatic 80. The PRX is on the slimmer/smaller side. Which does makes it very elegant.

I´ve had two, a 1990's Quartz F1, a beautiful stanless steel watch and a 1990s Stylist Quartz (S/N F354A); I still have the Stylist, and coincidentally it has the waffle design, except that in the Stylist Quartz it goes diagonally across the dial. I am thinking in buying this PRX Automatic because the body resembles the Quartz F1.
