[@omarmiz]

Yup the Quartz dial is way more beautiful than the waffle. You should try the 35mm one - the 40mm is too big for your wrists imo

[@TXLogic]

The 40mm is comically oversized for his wrist. 35mm would have looked great.

[@DavidCosmos1]

You should do a comparison with the 35mm should fit better on your wrist. Great video as always!

[@lukewalker1051]

To me the 40mm PRX is too big for your wrist. Appropriate watch size isn't all about dial diameter. The integrated bracelet makes the PRX wear big. The 35 would be better for your wrist size.

What Makes Watches Look Bigger? #prx #tissot

[@AndreiGeorgescu-j9p]

​@@DesignAtelierwatches used to be 32mm for men. You look ridiculous with a 40mm. Also the waffle is way better

[@lefroy1]

The 35mm works well too. The case shape bumps the appearance up to around 37mm and looks just about perfect on >7" wrists.

[@DesignAtelier]

Hmmm! 35mm on 7in wrist is bold. But yes that shape projects 2mm extra on the wrist.

[@arielargo]

Totally agree!

[@frblaze2]

Biggest myth on the Internet, what people mean is the proportions are trash at best... It doesn't make the watch wear "bigger".... You can't make a 40mm watch look like a 42... The lugs are just too big

[@DadeMurphie]

Inferior dials on the quartz. Debate over.

[@micheltran7115]

Just bought the PRX 35 in gold. What an amazing timepiece. I have the Grand Seiko SBGW253 for casual and dressy, the Omega PO 39.5 for sporty look, my Timex T80 Pacman on black leather strap for fun. Needed a gold watch to go with my gold accessories and this watch delivers. Not only it is comfortable on the bracelet, but it looks so good in gold. It will go perfectly with my ST Dupont gold dust rollerball pen. Everyone should get a watch to go with their accessories. Glad I bought the 35mm version since my 6.25" wrist can only accommodate a lug to lug of 45mm and this watch has a distance of 45mm from endlink to endlink.

[@DesignAtelier]

I almost bought this gold one. If it weren’t for my son who’s also going to wear a PRX, I would have gone with a gold model. 35mms is a solid size for 6.25in wrists. Good choice. P

[@Khrann]

I love how the dial with the little embossed squares is available only for the automatic version for zero reasons but making you spend double the money if you like that dial type.

[@DesignAtelier]

Haha this made me laugh. I imagine tissot now as a petty designer who has an agenda against waffle dials.

[@blankspace3511]

just dont be poor. simple fix

[@stocksxbondage]

Or to give the people spending more money on the movement a greater payoff. Depends on your perspective. The consumer that wants a quartz, or Tissot who wants to make both quartz and automatic customers happy.

[@loogoo]

To me, the whole point of the PRX is to celebrate the original model 70s model, which was (gasp!) quartz. I have the 35mm in blue and find it just perfect for me.

[@antman674]

Just got the 35mm too. I, probably like many people, was worried that the 35mm would be too small and 40mm would definitely be too big. But the 35mm fits my sub 7" wrist perfectly. Really happy with it. And i agree, the quartz movement and smaller size fits better with that 70's vibe while still looking modern and contemporary. Im kinda over the whole automatic craze anyway quite honestly.

[@darthgiggity7948]

I've been mulling about this and the Seiko Laurel reinterpretation. I would really love to have the PRX but the only reason that's keeping me from getting it is the size dimensions. In my case, the 40mm variant is too big, while the 35mm variant is too small. Tissot should have instead offered a 37-38mm version instead of the default 40mm since they decided on not making the end links articulated which made the lug-to-lug length too long.

[@DesignAtelier]

I find the 40 is a good size for the majority. People still say my wrist is still too small for this but I’m not deterred at wearing mine.

[@berkesargn5756]

bro 35 mm prx looks like 37 mm

What do you meqn by "quartz version is not for everyone"? I know some prefer automatic, some quartz, but it seems you mean something else here?

[@flowremix]

[@takethecurseOFFwashingmachine]

Eveyone compares the prx to the royal oak, as you did here. I get it, but to be honest I really don’t see it. What I do see is the Rolex oyster quartz (my favorite Rolex hands down). I think I’m so focused on that comparison, my brain cannot handle any other possibilities.

[@TIMETECH07]

Came to my recommended just in time! I'll still wait though as I am waiting for my salary to pay everything I owe off, before buying one in 35mm :) I really like the one in Ice Blue

[@TheBoujiman]

[@mongutierrez4460]

My dream watch! With that dark blue dial. Gorgeous watch. Currently thinking of getting one but thinking between a Moonswatch or a PRX 😂

[@DesignAtelier]

Honestly the moonswatch feels so much lighter and not premium feeling. It is still harder to get than a PRX from what I hear.

[@arielargo]

Go with the PRX, much better watch! Moonswatch is a toy watch and not durable like the PRX.

[@dereklee7009]

It’s a nice bracelet. And the easy strap change reminds me of Cartier. Looks a hair large on you tho in my opinion

[@DesignAtelier]

My wrist is a hair smaller than this PRX actually. Not the other way around. Maybe a few more Big Macs will do the trick.

[@jnrocktx]

I have both, green dial quartz 40mm and Powermatic 80 rose gold/white dial. Bought the quartz first and it’s fine, certainly sporty and an excellent summer watch. However the rose gold / white dial Powermatic is quite a premium look in comparison. From the slight sheen on the textured face to the framed date window, the Powermatic takes the finish of the quartz version and adds that small amount of enhancement to create premium status. I don’t think buyer can go wrong either way but I encourage prospective buyer to take a close look at both before making decision, especially as a Powermatic PRX can be found around $500 USD. BTW I have a 6.5” wrist and had to try play with links and wear style to get both PRX’s to fit just right. After watching your video I will get the strap, was on the fence but it is an obvious add to the PRX experience.

[@DesignAtelier]

im glad my video helped. Well in this case it helped you spend more money on watches so my "gladness" can be bad for your health and marriage (if you are married) and could further plunge you to the depths of emotional and financial despair. Welcome to the club. Tissot, where's thats sweet royalty deal? i'm doing some heavy lifting here.

[@andromedagodit2492]

Niiice video bro... May I know the size of your wrist n would you advise this watch for a 6.5inch wrist? Thank you. 😊

Mine is 6.25. Others say I should go for the smaller 35mm prx but this wears fine to me. I’d like to think that it can fit 6.5in wrists.

[@AnyConstr]

Does someone has OCD with Quartz movement? I bought the Quartz, personally think more beautiful. But the automatic movement is another level. I just don't know if worth the price. Double the price of quartz.

[@dielreis]

Tissot gave a premium look to the powermatic dial. But I rather go with quartz. Quartz is better, sorry.

[@wilkamania]

This is a great watch. Honestly unless anyone really likes the waffle dial and automatics, there's no logical reason to get the Powermatic 80 beyond want.... which is what I did lol. I had the quartz white one and i really liked it... but I couldn't stop thinking about the automatic. Ended up returning the quartz for the auto purely because of want despite the quartz being the better logical choice haha

[@DesignAtelier]

I’m might be crazy but I’m still using both in my rotation. I feel there’s enough difference between the two. The difference maker is the leather strap.

[@BeyondTheLineProductions]

Why is it the better logical Choice?

[@wilkamania]

@@BeyondTheLineProductions Mostly because for an extra $300, you're really only getting a movement and dial change. It's nearly double the price. But again, watches themselves aren't logical. All anyone really needs is a Casio IMO. But we buy them because we like them!

[@IvMacCuts]

I like both dials but prefer the automatic movement. If you look in the used market you can find a mint auto for the retail price of a quartz. Also I can comfortably say it wears really big, anyone with a sub 7inch wrist should go for the 35mm as it wears/looks like a 38mm (imo). The 40mm wears like a 42-43mm.

[@vonkruel]

I finally did get a PRX quartz 40mm (black dial) a couple days ago. I paid $270 on Joma ($280 black friday price - $10 from a coupon code I found online). I'm so impressed with the watch, especially the quality of the bracelet and the overall fit & finish. The second hand on mine isn't missing any of the markers too badly, which is a nice thing. This watch is quite a bit nicer than it has any right to be at the price. About automatic vs. quartz PRX: the quartz is thinner, and thinner is definitely better for the PRX. Also I'm not completely sold on the Powermatic 80 movements. The Powermatic 80 found in the Tissot Gentleman has a familiar pallet fork with entry & exit jewels, but in the PRX's powermatic 80 you get some kind of plastic abomination. The Powermatics are also annoying to regulate and service (you can do both of those things, but you may not want to).

[@chris23527]

Im considering this but the mint dial or the citizen tsuyosa tiffany blue. Can’t decide yet if its the oak or the perpetual. The price is similar, but if i upgrade to powermatic i have to add more. Its easy to get it here in the Philippines. Im leaning towards the prx now that i saw your video thank you.
