[@bradensherota3319]

bro, I feel the exact same way. Certain times of the day the watch feels great other times I have to take it off because it’s just a little too tight.

[@ChronometerCheck]

[@idontlikestuff]

Its not a mystery at all. I thought it was common sense that our bodies swell when we get hotter. That happens to people with engagement rings all the time. You gotta have it slightly oversized.

[@mattc8347]

I got this for my engagement gift in Paris I love this watch

[@ChronometerCheck]

Fantastic choice

[@blvckaf8258]

nobody else seems to talk about how your wrist changes size throughout the day but fr it gets annoying not being able to change the strap fit when it does

[@ChronometerCheck]

Yeah, it's a natural occurence, we all experience it though often it is minor. I notice it mostly in the summer. Going from aircondition inside to hot and humid outside makes my wrist swell up like a baloon.

[@upandunder1485]

Delugs rubber straps are excellent, also providing flexibility in warm weather

I added an half link for this reason. It’s a tad more loose, but so much more comfortable to wear

[@ChronometerCheck]

Exactly what I did. Perfect this way!

[@raven_of_zoso455]

Yes, I too sized mine up just a bit, so it would rather wear a bit loose when I'm chilling, but still don't choke off the blood when I'm doing something. And frankly, it has never been a problem for me. I think the PRX feels good no matter if it is a bit loose or if it just slightly starts to feel a bit tight.

[@tristanho1533]

yeah i do that too, because it looks better draping off the wrist slightly too because of the bracelet finishing. Like when you are standing up and holding something up with the left hand, the watch tends to fall pretty nicely

[@lukefriester8869]

I just ordered the PRX with the same blue waffle dail. It’s so gorgeous and i can’t wait to wear it❤️

[@anthonykadelliu]

I just picked one up recently on my travels and it is an absolute steal and a dream watch when it comes to value for the money. The two biggest complaints I have on this watch is the one that’s mentioned and it is 100% accurate as a video that it does get slightly uncomfortable when the weather gets hot, the other is the brightness and longevity of the lume at nighttime.

[@englishbyarefin]

hello…can u please confirm me…is the prx bracelet edges on the inside feel a little sharp when you move your fingers through the edges? i mean its smooth on upper side edges…but the side cuttings feels a little sharp on my one..😢

I agree with you. Still this isn’t a deal breaker not just cause of the price but the watch is very wearable. Own the exact same model and I love it!

[@ChronometerCheck]

Yes, exactly. Certainly not a deal breaker for me either. Nice, we're watch twins! See the new ice blue model coming out?

[@ThePhantom712]

I think I cared more about what was under the hood then the watch itself that 80 powermatic is a beast.

[@shepleonard8695]

Wear your watch above the wrist bone. It fixes this issue and allows you greater range of motion.

[@russell6777]

That’s the correct position for a watch

[@snapascrew]

Agreed. I’m in Canada and this time of year it’s cold, randomly had to fly to South Africa…. This thing was so tiiiight in Africa couldn’t wear it at times. It even gets tight back home through out the day!

[@lutschilutschi10]

Yeah that is a Problem that only thies partikular Tissot has…dumbhead, it’s called temperature Extension…welcome to real life where physic leads 😂

[@junito1008]

There’s a nice rubber option

[@ThatENGuy]

Honestly glad this is an integrated bracelet watch

[@Ireallycantthinkofahandle]

There are a lot of somewhat affordable straps out there. Tissot makes some for around 60$ but some other companies make some higher grade straps for around 120$- 180$ which make the watch look like it’s a 2k-3k tier watch.

[@awalk5177]

The bracelet does have micro adjustments on the clasp. Unless you are already at the largest size, you can adjust the strap wider by moving the pin to the next hole by carefully using a paper clip. On that clasp shown there are six positions (one or even two are still available).

[@ChronometerCheck]

That clasp was from another watch as an example, but I can see how that was confusing!

[@paulhopkins1905]

I have a few complaints about the PRX, one being the waffle dial kills the sunburst effect, the fact that it's case makes the dial look tiny, or the lug to lug makes two gaps at the top of the wrist. The bracelet is its best feature.

[@airthrowDBT]

The gap is the only thing I don't like, it doesn't sit perfectly.

[@MaineLandReviews]

Agreed, a micro adjustment lock on the clasp would be very easy to implement

[@ChronometerCheck]

Yup, exactly! Would make the butterfly clasp just a bit longer but I think most of us would be willing to make that compromise

[@MaineLandReviews]

@@ChronometerCheck agreed, I’d rather need to take out 2 more links after it arrives then be losing blood supply to my hand or constantly being stuck to my wrist or the opposite… sliding all over and spinning around. A micro pull out adjustment would be perfect! 🤙 wish they’d do it… *cough* *and a 38mm Powermatic gold and blue dial lol*

[@lutschilutschi10]

So Guys if it’s so easy just Show me one Butterfly clasp with a Micro adjustment!

[@Bilama]

Love my PRX and the bracelet is gorgeous. But I agree with the tightness on a hot day

[@airthrowDBT]

Yep, I am right inbeween link sizes for my wrist, I decided to go snug. But I got the Tissot leather strap as well which I currently use, it's very nice!

[@scire6616]

You can still slightly adjust it without adding or removing links, by changing where the end of the bracelet attaches to the clasp, they are 4-5 holes that you can choose from, and can be adjusted relatively quickly

[@mourningcrows]

The clasp at the end is not on the PRX, he’s showing it to illustrate what micro adjusts look like.

[@ReticentSparrow]

For me, an integrated bracelet is usually a dealbreaker.

[@allegedly_pav5487]

[@anthonyb2990]

Most jewelers will tell you if your watch is fitted properly you don’t need a micro adjustment. (If you can fit one finger in between the clasp and your wrist)

Tissot have a leather strap for the prx in blue or black.

[@airthrowDBT]

I got the blue leather strap as well, it's great for casual wear, the metal bracelet is great for special occasions

[@NapoleonDynamite69]

There are after market leather and rubber straps on the website, I find this wrist has a very accurate adjustment system. Other watches I've had were generally much worse.

[@ChronometerCheck]

Yeah, but the aftermarket straps aren't as plentiful as on watches with standard lug widths and I don't like the look with the strap notch anyway. Just my opinion, of course

[@franssnel9069]

Always liked the PRX, but one thing bothered me: the bezel. Felt it didn't fit the beautiful straight lines of the rest of the watch. Therefore I recently got me a D1 Milano 2nd generation automatic, green dial. Beautiful.

[@theTswift937513]

I just bought the one with a leather strap. It’s Perfect!

[@JamesJohnson-pz8pu]

Tissot have realised straps for it that looks good 😁 but there are lots of micro brands that create lovely looking straps 😁👍🏼

[@rmelgar9]

Tissot does sell straps $65-$105 approximately. This is one year after the video though.

[@nermaldirtwater2832]

I get you. I bought the blue alligator strap with integrated end link and it’s like owning another watch for that change of pace. Also, I think they came out with a rubber strap. Otherwise the Delugs makes a fine one in different comers but the price is too high in my opinion. Enjoy!

[@reesebroekhoven3962]

him saying integrated bracelets usually found on much more expensive luxury sports watches like its a tourbillon. there's $50 watches out there with Intergraph bracelets it's not just a hight end thing it's actually a very common thing in lower budget watches

[@larryp.450]

There are adjustment holes in the bracelet clasp, therefore the statement of any adjustment requires adding or removing bracelet links is false.

Im highly considering getting into designing and producing thought out watch straps and bracelets. I often find bracelets too thick or poorly designed when it comes to actual wearability. Example : my Zodiac Super Sea Wolf bracelet is awesome but the clasp is pretty flimsy and pops off if you just stick your finger between your wrist and clasp. It could use some ceramic bearings

[@orfatron]

The escapement (pallet fork and escape wheel) is made of some kind of “plastic”. Something to consider 🤔

[@denis3208]

I like to wear a watch little loose so if the hand does swell it shouldn't be a major problem.

[@sveeny]

I love my PRX and I kinda agree. But the watch is very balanced and quite light so I can live with it sitting a littele looser. On the other hand this allows it to have a clasp that is so seamlessly integrated into the bracelet visually! Personally, my only downside is that it‘s a damn scratch magnet (I have never had a steel bracelet that collected microscratches so easily) and I hate the dirt/smear on the flat surface (the four edges) around the bezel. It‘s impossible to have them look clean and it‘s even visible in this video. Other than that I adore my PRX.

[@KosiWien]

I don't own a Tissot prx (yet, love it so imma buy one someday) but a Maurice Lacroix Aikon and I had the same problem with my wrist getting bigger over the day but likely there is a rubber strap in the color of the dial for it so on a summer day I'm wearing the rubber strap adjusting it between 3 holes on one day

Just wear it a bit loose, as you wear a sports watch because of these particular reasons and you don’t have any issues. Sport watches are considered to be more loose bc of different body temperature levels and different other conditions which have impact on the wearability… imho! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@attila2246]

Micro adjustment would be better but I solved the issue by cutting out a piece of silicon rubber sheet and sticking it to the back of the butterfly clasp. It's soft and comfortable and will prevent the bracelet from sliding up and down in cold air-conditioned environments. It has some give so when your wrist expands in hot weather it won't feel like you're wearing a tourniquet 😂

I love my 4 month old Crystal Blue PRX. It's a stunning piece. I understand what you said about the bracelet. I just left mine a little larger than many people would like, which is my standard comfort sizing policy. The bigger problem that I have is that this brushed SS bracelet SCRATCHES WHEN YOU BREATHE ON IT. I have a ton of SS bands on multiple manufacturer's watches and NONE has scratched even close to this amount, after years of aggressive wear. My seller showed the photos to Tissot which promptly told me to pound salt as the scratches are TYPICAL FOR THIS PIECE. Really?????? I'm in disbelief and had I known this, I would have spent my $700 on something more durable and equally beautiful. Anyone else have thoughts about this defect? Thanks!

[@jose7777777777777777]
