Tissot PRX - Overrated?

The Tissot PRX has been receiving some negative attention lately. Where is this coming from and is it justified?

Fine vid! I am an owner of the H-40 or some such in my Hamilton Khaki Automatic. It is the much vaunted Power Matic 80. Your watch maker can not service this sacrilege ….a castrated ETA 2824-2, 4hrtz, not 3, fully serviceable by any competent watch maker. The 3hertz (the “magic” in the 80 hour power reserve) Power Matic 80 is basically a disposable movement ergo no need for a regulator cock for the balance wheel. I really like my one and only Power Matic-80 fueled watch, my Khaki Automatic but nope, I would pay a premium to get an old school ETA 2824-2. Thanks

Every time I see one online I want to put mine on again. I think it is probably a little overhyped, but I think the value is too good for it to be overrated. Especially the quartz version. It's hard to beat and now that it comes in a smaller size it's easier than ever to recommend it.

Thinking of adding a quartz to my collection!

So how did it become groundbreaking when it is just the resurrection of a 70s design watch? 🤔

What are your thoughts on the Tissot PRX??

[@kasidizmahdnor6510]

The PRX didn’t copy the Royal Oak, it shares some similarities. But actually it designs inspired from Rolex Quartz.

[@mitchmitchell9588]

I like the PRX. The money and value is entirely in the bracelet, which is beautifully designed and executed. As for the hate, it’s just a natural reaction from contrarians. That’s OK. But it’s best to ignore extreme opinions in both directions.

Thanks for your comments Mitch much appreciated! What watches do you love?

[@mitchmitchell9588]

@@RicardoHawkes I like the standards (like Rolex and Tudor), which are good brands for you to cover to get views/subscribers. But my collection also includes watches that not many care about, like vintage LIP and Bulova, Asian micro brands/independents (MING, Kurono Tokyo) and random California-dial watches. I also like watches that are not in my collection, like the PRX, the Octo Finissimo and the 222. I am trying to make sense of the blurry lines between Seiko 5, Seiko, King Seiko and Grand Seiko.

Me too! Blurry lines indeed@@mitchmitchell9588
