Good one for Tissot. Was looking for a nice quartz but knowing they downgrade the quartz that much is a no go. Would not have mind to pay extra for the auto finish. Like they don’t even want to sell the quartz models, buy auto instead I guess is their thinking.

[@jpdemer5]

I bought the quartz version (in blue) just today. Looked at the PRX, but didn't like the chunky case. I was back and forth between the quartz Gentleman and the automatic (which really does look much better (more expensive) in person than it does in this video), but in the end it was just too thick for my taste, so I went with the thinner model. It looks great on a brown leather strap. Given that it's half the cost, I may go back and get a second one in silver, on a ss bracelet, to wear with my "grown-up" suit. Nice thing about living in NYC is that there's a Tissot store, where you can examine every model up close and personal.

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Quartz for the money is great choice! I see that we have the same thoughts about prx. It's too chunky for me either.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@jpdemer5 Many say that the Gentleman looks more elegant than the PRX. I don't mind the PRX's "chunky" case. I like this "tonneau" form even better. You can get the Gentleman in Titanium if you like. For my taste the PRX line is the better deal. I really like (the expensive) PRX Automatic Chronograph (in white)! 😍

I bought Quartz version of Gentleman.. when I was buying, I was in confusion to choose Quartz or automatic.. But Automatic finishing is quit nice but I feel heavy in my hand.. so, I choosed th quartz version.. However, it is great to use..

[@MrTheo-]

As a 17 year old I'm definitely buy Quartz as the price makes it really easy to pick, the Quartz watch looks great although I prefer the automatic one. I think I'm going with a Quartz, then when I'm a bit older ill definitely buy the automatic version

[@renebollengier1111]

Well done

[@saschamohr7970]

I did not expect those differences. The PRX models where not that different or where they?

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Hey! Prx automatic and quartz also have differences. But the major one is the dial structure. In the case of the Gentleman quartz and automatic you could say that these watches look similar but they are totally different models if we talk about quality. You can't say that about prx.

[@TheGaztela]

[@midasoficial5310]

Great and useful video! Saved me from purchasing the quartz version.

[@baze3SC]

I think the difference is also in the dial. When I compared the blue versions two years ago not only had the quartz version a lighter shade of blue but the dial material looked different (a bit cheaper to make probably). Not sure if that's the case with more recent models. In person you could definitely tell the difference because the dial on the automatic had slightly more "depth".

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Yes, you are right. I think I mentioned it in the video also.

[@befreetv354]

Hi there. How many seconds looses by day? by week? Thank you and Salute from Romania

[@lundsweden]

Not bad watches, maybe a bit boring in terms of design and finishing, but what are your options around this price? Seiko are now more expensive with the SARX045, but I much prefer it. I also like the Hamilton automatics, but the Khaki King is pretty simple finishing wise, but IMO has more characterful design!

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Check the review of Seiko sharp edge on my channel it's stunning. I think that for the price Tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium is pretty good deal even one of the best in this price range.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@@marcelwatchenthusiast5438 Especially the silicium is very rarely used in Tissot's Powermatic 80 watches. More often you'll see nivachron instead (as in the PRX). @Andy Lund As a Swiss I'm more connected to Tissot (1853) with a long and impressive history in Swiss watches! Before the quartz crisis Tissot was named in one breathe with Omega (and the built the SSIH one of two organisations of Swiss watches before The Swatch Group took over). 🤔

[@spencerlowder7051]

Do you think this watch is too small for an 8" wrist? What do you think of the Tissot gent XL classic (42mm) and swissmatic (43mm)? I like the dial finish much more on this powermatic, but id love any recommendations on similar watches in bigger dial sizes.

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Hey Spencer! First of all I would like to notice that Gentleman wears big. You have to try it out in the store before pulling the trigger. Some people don't care about the size and wear oversized watches. Other guys wear vintage really small watches. It's quite personal aspect what we love and feel good with so I can't say that for sure you will enjoy it. Both tissots you mentioned are good options but firstly check out gentleman it's awesome timepiece. My friend has 19cm wrist (7.5 inches) and he loves his gentleman :)

[@ericsfantul6029]

Is the blue one good for a small wrist ? It slides on my wrist when move my hand?

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Automatic version fits better. It's more rounded than the quartz. Quartz is really flat and doesn't look as good as it could.

[@EagleTrue]

Is the lug to lug distance the same ?

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

I'm quite sure it is. BUT! Automatic version looks better on the wrist. I have 17cm wrist and the autamatic version wraps around wrist perfectly. Quartz is flat and doesn't look that good and "natural".

[@uhrologe2596]

Thanks for the great review. I total agree to your points. I needed a an everyday watch. The automatic with green dial just looked better with great present at the wrist due to its different sizes. But it weares little heavy and the sharp edges of the bracelet disturbed me. So I decided for the Quarz, but the Titanium model. The dimensions are same aa like the other quarz but the Titanium just feels so nice and light. Anyway I think about to add the automatic to my collection as well.

I’m looking a buying either the Tisso Gentlemen Quartz or Seiko 5 SRPE53k1. I’m looking for a good watch with SS Bracelet and Blue or Black dial. Out of these two which would you recommend. I have a budget of €600 so if there’s any others you’d recommend that that price over these two please let me know. Thanks

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

For the price you can try to buy Tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium. In the case of Tissot gentleman quartz and Seiko 5 I would definitely go for the Tissot. I simply prefer the design and the build quality is better. Also I recommend you to check out certina watches. Thanks for watching :)

@@theodeegan9111 you don't have to buy it for a retail price my friend. Discounts are very common in this industry. You can get around 20% discount for new Tissot. Quartz and Automatic. I have been working for some time in a watch store so this knowledge is confirmed :)

@@marcelwatchenthusiast5438 How do I get access to these discounts? In store or online newsletters etc?

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

@@theodeegan9111 depends. You have to be patient to find the best deal. You can write emails to the online stores in your country asking for discounts. The best discount I've ever had with this technique was 30%. In stores it's harder to get a good deal but you can negotiate down around 20%. (It's harder because of companies politic and also sellers have provision so they want to squeeze out as much from your wallet as possible...) I would start by writing emails, it's definitely easier than going to every single store in-person :)

[@MusikPiratCH]

The brand "Tissot" is from the French speaking part of Switzerland (Le Locle) therefore you don't pronounce the final "t" of Tissot! 😇

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Thanks :)

[@paulc9588]

Very useful video. Here is the dilemma. The automatic version is a nicer piece but I would think twice about spending £675 on a Tissot, automatic on not. Even with the ~15% discount that UK ADs tend to give (the independent jewellers anyway) that is still close to £600. Although the quality is clearly there it is still quite a 'vanilla' (i.e. pleasing enough but quite bland) design, to my eyes anyway. For £335 (under £300 with discount) though the quartz is a steal. Vanilla or not, everything you really need is there for a modest outlay which makes for an excellent buy. Rather than the Gentleman automatic I would be looking at spending slightly more on a more unusual/interesting brand like Certina or Junghans or a few hundred more on an Oris or Longines. Even Rado is a possibility as they start at or can often be bought for well under £1,000. Nothing wrong with Tissot they are a solid brand but to me there more desirable options out there to the automatic for not a lot more money. Maybe it depends on how many Tissots you already have! Hope this makes sense.

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Hey Paul! Nice to see you again :) I think that both of these watches deserve some respect because they are really good value for money. Here in Poland we can buy Tissot in AD with 20% discount and sometimes even more (black Friday). The best part of owning one of these models is that you cant go wrong with whichever you choose.

[@paulc9588]

@@marcelwatchenthusiast5438 I think it depends on where you are re. your collection. Desirability versus cost is a personal thing. If you are looking for your first automatic or just plan on owning one automatic then the Gentleman is well-priced and a sound choice. As I already own 2 Tissot automatics and 3 quartz pieces I am not really in the market for another one unless something really special. The quartz is a bargain though, even someone with Tissot fatigue would be tempted.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@@paulc9588 Well, unfortunately for Tissot Nicolas G. Hayek (founder of The Swatch Group) made (at least in my view) a big mistake with the brand Tissot. Before the quartz crisis Tissot (here in Switzerland) was a well known brand along side with Omega (see SSIH). There are Tissot watches out that can compete with any other brand you name (see The Urban Gentry who owns a Tissot watch from the 1950s/60s)! However I see your point when you own 2 automatics and 3 quartz pieces if you're not specificly fixed on Tissot watches only! 🤔 I'd rather tend to the PRX Powermatic 80 however the Gentleman has silicon while the PRX only offers nivachron. ☹

[@paulc9588]

@@MusikPiratCH Depends how you look at it re. Tissot being positioned as an entry-level brand despite its illustrious history. Tissot plays an important role within Swatch Group in terms of introducing buyers to Swiss watches at an affordable price point with the intention/hope that they will then become hooked and move on to buying more expensive Longines, Omega etc. Not good news for the status of the Tissot brand maybe but there is some logic in the tiered brand structure and someone has to be the first rung on the ladder. It worked with me, my first Swiss watch was a Tissot PR50 quartz (1996, still working!) and I have ended up as a customer for life. There will be many thousands of people just like me who would never have got into Swiss watches had it not been for that first Tissot.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@@paulc9588 Well, The Swatch Group has a lot of brands that could serve as an entry-level brand (even Glashütte Original)! 😇 I still don't understand Nicolas G. Hayek's brand ranking. There is no logic at all in it! Longines, Omega and Tissot have such a rich history that would qualify all of them in the highest segment! I know what you mean. However Certina, Hamilton or even one of those Glashütte brands could have served for this purpose! 🤔 As mentioned when you ask a Swiss about a watch brand you'll most likely hear Omega and Tissot mentioned! 😍

[@brocklanders6969]

I prefer quartz over automatics, but I want quality. Longines Conquest/Hydroconquest there is no difference other than movement. Tissot drop the ball on their quartz options.

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

Tissot gentleman quartz is also good watch but not as good as automatic. At least it's much cheaper.. I like that when I pay more for automatic movement I got better quality. I also have conquest quartz and I really appreciate that I have the same quality as an automatic version. But if I were the owner of automatic conquest i wouldn't be so happy cause i would have to pay much more and it wouldn't be great deal paying that much only for movement imo.

Omega makes the Aqua Terra in quartz and it is 1/2 the price ($2700), but a read that the bracelet only goes up to 7.25" and links are impossible to get. For 1/3 or less I can get the Conquest in quartz. I wish they did the quartz in 39mm. I found myself grabbing by quartz more often be cause it is ready to go.

[@johnfadds6089]

This is just a shitty Swiss ploy to keep selling their cogs and springs overpriced tick toys. One of the reasons stick to Japanese watches.

[@jonabitstream]

Quartz is almost always the better choice. In this case it appears Tissot hasn’t spent the money they saved using quartz to improve the dial.

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

In this case automatic is much better in every possible aspect, but the price is two times higher. If someone care about quality, finishing and movement he will buy powermatic version. If someone care only about the design he will take quartz. It's nice that Tissot offers two versions :) Both versions are good in their price range. In my opinion tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium is the best watch in it's price category :) Thanks for your comment. You can check my review of this watch on my channel.

[@jonabitstream]

@@marcelwatchenthusiast5438 please explain how an automatic movement is better here? It’s less accurate, more expensive to both buy and to service. Quartz is superior in all those ways.

[@marcelwatchenthusiast5438]

@@jonabitstream choosing the movement is personal choice. I was talking about quality and finishing differences between these two watches. Automatic version has better finished indexes, dial, date, case, bracelet is different, glass has AR coating, everything is just better. Also some people would choose automatic over the quartz because of the way how second's hand move. Also automatic watches are considered as more premium.

[@jonabitstream]

@@marcelwatchenthusiast5438 agreed, movement choice is personal. Also agreed, Tissot put more effort into making the automatic version look better. But personal choice won’t change these facts: that quartz movement will be MUCH more accurate, reliable, and affordable. In addition, Tissot makes very good quartz movements. I hope, going forward, that Tissot will put the same effort into their quartz watch’s cases and dials. With quartz movements costing so much less than mechanical ones, Tissot will have more money to invest in their quartz watch’s cases and dials, if they so choose.
