Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Unboxing & First Impressions

[@luke003d]

The contrast between the brushed and polished parts is so nice. Such a good looking watch.

[@stevepapa]

The design is on point! Thanks for watching!

[@solodv00]

I’ve always been interested in watches and jewelry but man I think I just found the perfect entry level watch for my first watch!

[@stevepapa]

I don't think you could find a better first watch option!

[@axelquezada7668]

I got a Seiko 5 that’s a pretty entry level and cool watch while I save up for the prx

[@hlorskens]

He is busy for almost 4 minutes with unpacking. Incredible.

[@WatchChris]

Side by side is great. I'm loving mine, feels like a higher end watch.

[@stevepapa]

You can't go wrong with either one IMO!

[@bryansmith9102]

I just unboxed mine today. I love it! Very classy piece for not much dough.

Definitely not a bad one to go with for your first watch!

[@FireBlade57]

Now that is an homage I can get behind. Clear refference, but still unique enough. Great piece. Not for me, but a great piece.

[@stevepapa]

Yep! This is how "homages" should be. Taking design cues but not complete rips offs.

[@KRBY555]

Your're talking about the Oyster Quartz, not the AP right?

[@michaelbishop9157]

as above - great homage to the Rolex as the original was

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

That’s a beauty man! Can’t wait to get hands on one. Keep up the great work.

[@stevepapa]

Thanks man! Yeah get one ASAP! You'll be happy with the quartz or the automatic IMO.

[@killazx9]

People keep saying it is an AP for the general public but if you look at the case shape it is really closer to the Oyster Quartz from Rolex.

[@frankblacks.45]

Your new PRX looks absolutely amazing. That waffle-cut pattern in that handsome Tissot Blue is sublime. I have the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic Silicum 80(2020 model)w/the Blue dial & a custom black leather strap even though I'm a bigger fan of their quality stainless bracelets and the automatic keeps excellent time. While I use my Gentleman Powermatic as my dress watch my Tissot Supersport V8 w/Blue dial & stainless bracelet is my everyday sport watch. The Supersport is a 2019/2020 model quartz w/a larger dial and has proven itself durable & consistent as my "go to", everyday timepiece. I am a huge fan of Tissot watches and love collecting them. They are genuine Swiss Made watches but don't shred your wallet to acquire them. Looks like I'll have to add this PRX to the collection. Too handsome to pass up. Great unboxing vid.

[@stevepapa]

Thank you! You can't go wrong with the PRX!

[@human1513]

I always like the little white pillow that comes with it. LOL

[@stevepapa]

Hahahaha it's a nice pillow

[@human1513]

[@tomirasinkangas4380]

I love the prx! I have the quarz one, probably going to wear this couple of years and upgrade to powermatic if i have some extra cash. x) I like the standard one though because its obviously more precise at time keeping and i dont have to think about winding. :)

[@stevepapa]

I love the quartz version as well. The dial on that one is superb too!

[@theyrinthewalls]

Not sure if you know how autos work, but you don’t have to wind them they are self winding

[@Di.Iv.555]

My PRX Powermatic80 is pretty accurate, 1 second a day +/-, more interesting is if I set it up 10 seconds ahead of my phone time, after 5 days is 4-5 seconds ahead (losing a second each day), if I set it up 15 seconds ahead, in 5 days is 20 seconds ahead (gaining second each day) 😮😅

[@akinigiri]

Oh, mine came with a pop-up picture-book style Tissot factory buildings and mountains. Maybe that was because I got it from the Tissot Boutique.

[@stevepapa]

I think that's Tissot's new box style!

[@hhinojosareef1]

I just ordered yesterday can’t wait for this bad boy to get here.

I need some quick advice… I recently purchased this exact same PRX Powermatic 80. This morning, I picked the watch up out of my watch box and wound it 30 times. However, I forgot to check if it was still running on its 80 hour power reserve cycle. To my surprise, it was indeed still running and on the current date and time. Will my winding it 30 times damage the watch? Please advise thank you. 🙏🏻

Always loved watches as a male we dont have that many jewelry options. Always had seiko as its good valeu for everyday watch. Was thinking of buying my first mechanical swiss watch for my 30th birthday. The prx powermatic 80 18k gold bezel, bleu dial. As my first expensive watch and also first swiss watch. What you think?

[@stevepapa]

I always say "buy what _you_ want". It doesn't matter what I think or what others think about your purchase. I think the sweet spot for the PRX line is around that $500 price point. For the money (about $1800 retail), I would save up a bit more and buy the Tudor Royal in all steel.

So, which do you like best: the gold PRX 40 mm quartz, the blue dial 40 mm quartz, or the Powermatic 80 crosshatched dial PRX?

[@zerox615]

Tissot needs to fix the endlinks. It doesn't drape down and so the lug to lug is alot longer. I was hoping tissot fix this on the automatic version so that smaller wrists can wear it comfortably. I guess i will just pick up a direnzo mondial instead.

[@stevepapa]

I'm hearing that complaint a lot. It is a missed opportunity but I'd assume they're going to add different strap options because of the quick release spring bars.

Quick question, does the bracelet catch on your arm hair, because that hurts a lot

[@stevepapa]

It doesn't really but I rarely have that issue!

[@iainsutherland1113]

I don't dislike the waffle dial but I wish they hadn't bothered ! I'd like the auto movement with the standard sunburst dial that you get with the quartz version.

Yeah something more unique or a flat dial would have worked better IMO

Hey Steve. What type of calender does the PRX powermatic 80 have? Standard, annual or perpetual?

[@stevepapa]

just a standard date wheel

[@gpaje]

Hey Steve, have you noticed anything unusual when hand winding? I noticed on my new PRX Auto that when you hand wind it, I will occasionally feel & hear a "click" when turning the crown. Right around every half-turn, I will get that click. I have another Powermatic 80 moment on a different style watch and it doesn't do it.

[@stevepapa]

I've since sold this watch and purchased the gold version but it's possible that it's fully wound.

The PRX is the "it" watch right now. If you don't mind finding a model used or even the quartz variant, I'd say it's a good buy. I buy watches to wear and if it's something I like then I'm going to buy it.

Great homage. Thinking about getting this one as a christmas gift for myself. I love the look. I already got 2 automatic homage watches but those are basically rip-offs. Almost exactly the same as the real thing besides the movement and the logo/name on it. I need a proper watch that has it's own style attached to it. This could be it. I knew the quartz version when it came out but I didn't knew they did a automatic version. I think this is great value for the price. Do you think this watch is a good starting point to start a collection? I don't count my others because they are not original at all. Thank you for the great video!

[@stevepapa]

The dials are different. The automatic has a waffle pattern and the quartz has a smooth texture. You won't go through $10 worth of batteries for the quartz over the life of the watch. Probably a new battery every 4-6 years.

@@stevepapa Would you say the 300 dollar difference is worth it for someone just delving into the world of watches? I can get either. I really like the gold one's look. There's the gold one on Amazon for 518 and will be released on 25th of August. Is this legit?

[@stevepapa]

@@bobtony55 it really depends on you honestly. I bought both of them and I'm still deciding which one to keep. A lot of watch people like having automatics and others like quartz. Check out the Amazon links to both watches in my description.

Thanks for the video. Could you please comment or specifically address in the compare video, how the dial colours compare? I felt that the blue on the quartz was a bit too dark and from stock images the auto's blue seemed a bit lighter, so this was actually my main reason to wait for the auto version. But you initial side by side comparison rather seems to show that the colour is the same.

Side by side they seem to be the same shade of blue, the waffle pattern is the only difference (both have sunburst effect). I'll try to get an outdoors shot to show the dials in natural lighting.

Automatic watches are a real headache. Constrained movement around electronic items ( lest they should get magnetised ), can't wear them if using public transport or outing ( jolts and jerks ), can't wear them near campfires ( lubricant malfunction ) , yet have to wear them daily or else the headache of setting time, day and date frequently .
