I don't get the prx hate, it's an amazing watch. Perfect for pretty much any occasion, wears extremely comfortable, offered at a very reasonable price point...I own a lot of watches and my prx is my favorite hands down
Prx is undoubtedly the best among them, but why not Citizen as an alternative? I am a Tsuyosa owner and I am very pleased with it. It has a problem-free mechanism. I think Citizen meets the expectations more than enough. I don't think there are many differences between them.
I have worries about the plastics parts in the movement, but I really like the waffle dial and the metal around the date. Do you think the movement is reliable despite the plastic parts? I wouldn't mind having to go exclusively to the official Tissot service in the future. The truth is that I always prefer to go to official services.
The plastic isn’t under hundreds of pounds of force. Plus it’s still a 2824, one of the most common movements ever made. Finding replacement parts during a service couldn’t be easier
Thank you for the question. Using plastic pallet fork might sound concerning, since escapements need the most maintenance because wears the most, regardless of material but using plastic in the escapement can actually require less frequent servicing because they need less lubrication and create less friction. Nevertheless ,from what i know, Tissot and Swatch Service Centers often replace the whole movement during servicing. These used movements are then reconditioned and put back into other Tissot, Swatch, and even some Omega watches. However, owning this watch for over two years now, i didn't notice any issues whatsoever. Regards
Honestly, i leave the scratches on all my stainless steel bracelets as a reminder of a time well spent with the watch. Maybe you should visit your AD to have tou bracelet polished.
A little bit of abrasive metal polish and a cloth and rub up and down very hard.. tookk out all the scratches on mine.. bracelet looks shinier but it'll fade back over time
yeah nah.. 1) the movement is non servicable due to Tissots modification to enable 80 hours power reserve on a budget with plastic parts inside .. why do you think do high end brands have 70-80 hours movements that cost 20 times more.. 2) the bracelet has NO micro adjustments which made is very uncomfortable for me while my wrist shrinks and expands during the day (work/freetime/sport/evening) 3) the bracelet may look nice but is very think and feels cheap.. 4) the dial is nuce but the lume is garbage 5) the lug to lug is absolutely ridiculous for the 40mm version its 54mm with the endlings.. thats like some invicta watch ☠️ it made my pretty average 6'5-6'7 wrist seem tiny because of the size of that thing.. i had to return the watch because of all these issues. the 35mm variant came much later but still had the movement problem . 6) antireflective coating is lame. hard to see the time on the darker colors like blue and green i got an Unimatic U1 for the same proce and it has solid bracelet with micro adjustments, much better AR coating and lume better by miles.. has only a seiko nh35 -42hours movement but is serviceble .. and built quality is much better. pretty close to a Tudor Black Bay 58
At the end, is a matter of personal preference, regarding the design. I agree that the use of plastic parts may be an issue in the future. Btw, I complement your choice of watches Unimatic U1 looks stunning, honestly i havent seen on "in the wild"😀
@@timepieceofart thnx mate, yes its a rare sight, built quaility is amazing for the price. the only negative thing is, the built quaoity comes with a weight.. adding the solid bracelet the watch is a bit heavy but i get used to it... another recent alternative to the PRX is the Citizen Super Titanium which looks even better than the PRX in my opinion but the clasp looks cheap..
@@matts8791 200-250€ to swap the entire movement.. yeah 🤣 you call that a service ? just checked the pricing at their site.. for a 500€ you can service a Rolex Datejust... 250€ is crazy for a cheap watch brand if you ask me..
The "big problem" is the price for this "useless" PowerMatic 80 movement... And Tissot is a part of the Swatch Group... so you cant expect good products from this company 👎
How is it overrated, it has a great movement, it has a quality bracelet, it looks luxurious, comes from a renowned swiss brand, beautiful dial, and all that for $600ish if anything it is at least properly rated
@@timepieceofart It does not look luxurious. Don’t kid yourself. Seen it in person many times and that is the reason I would not get it. Also that movement is a disgrace. Plastic pallet fork. Are they for real.
@@theshadowman1398you have “seen” but have you touched or wear it? It’s a different thing. If u wanted more luxurious pieces and not the prx, then why bother watching his video??? 🤌🏻Nobody needs your redundant comment, go and get a patek/AP/Vacheron to meet your needs, shoo! 👎🏻
