A Watch That Is An AMAZING Value! An Instant Classic! Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Review 

Couldn't agree more! I bought matching green dial quartz PRX's for my wife and I - hers is the 35mm and mine 40mm. Even though I own Rolex, Tudor and multiple Omegas, the PRX gets worn 2-3X a month. Further, it's the only watch that I've gotten compliments on in the last year from complete strangers. Great review Fed.

I wasn't interested in the PRX until I saw one in person. They had them in the watch shop on a cruise ship. I was impressed in person. I bought one in blue and love wearing it as a casual sports watch. It is really amazing how it catches light and sparkles in both artificial and sunlight.

I also bought one of these just a year ago with the blue dial. I couldn’t be happier. It’s just a great looking watch and while I have watches costing multiple times this, I enjoy wearing this one thoroughly.

Fun piece, I tried one on at a local shop. It's nice but I wasn't blown away by it. Not sure I can wrap my head around all the hype for it but I'm glad it exists at that price point as most integrated bracelet watches are incredibly expensive. Enjoyed the content as always.

Couldn’t agree more…the PRX is hands down the best sub 1k watch on the market and the chrono version is the best sub 2k watch…so much value for money. Tissot crushed it with these

Looks absolutely GORGEOUS would love one!!! Phenomenal bracelet, case, and the green dial is awesome!!

This is a beautiful watch. Hands down the best deal in entry level integrated bracelet piece. Thank you Fed. Awesome video as usual.

You made me buy one 😅 However, the Citizen Tsuyosa is also very good for the price.

I got a quartz and I enjoy it a lot, it’s not bad at all and it looks great. I got the quartz before the auto because I wasn’t sure how I was going to like it overall. I loved it and I ordered a Auto.

I love my dark green waffle face piece.. my first Tissot.

Tissot is the Swatch bang for the buck leader. I rarely dress where a Rolex sports is too casual, but I am considering a Tank or Reverso for those times. This could work for that situation, and you did not mention that this design is totally true to Tissot’s 60s/70’s heritage designs. Thanks Fed!

Great review. I have a couple Tudors, several Omegas, Grand Seiko, Breitling, Nomos, etc. I also have the white dial PRX Powermatic 80. I wear it a lot. It’s such a fun watch and looks great on the wrist. I love it so much, I have the Ice Blue dial version on order. 100% agreed if this watch said Longines on the dial, it would be $2K. Hard to go wrong with a PRX

The bracelet is the main complaint I have about the Tissot. But it's not bad.

Great watch . ThNk you . I believe that the new version of ice blue looks more attractive. Nizar

Agreed. It’s one of my favourites now. Cool style.

What about the movement having plastic so you need to change movement?

Its amazing value and look cool…the only issue for me is, the 40mm is too big, not just case size but the dial is too big and a lot of negative space…if they reduced the size to about a 38mm it would be perfection

Great watch but not the best to compare it to. Would love to see you size it up against a SS vacheron Constantine 222 or a rolex oysterquartz

@frederico it would be great if you did a review of the Corniche La Grande Corniche. I mean I know you are more the high end watch guy but seeing as you were comparing the Tissot to your GP I just thought it may be of interest to compare like for like as in another watch at the same price point also offering an integrated bracelet.

Love it ❤great watch for the money do I bought Green dial

A great graduation gift.

Does anyone who owns the Tissot know how comfortable is the bracelet since it does not have a micro adjustment? I am thinking about wearing it on hot summer days.

Did I hear "CHEAPER" and not "MORE AFFORDABLE"? 🧐

Id rather go for the Quartz. Wear much better.

The PRX is definitely on my radar. My budget has been sub $500. But this watch may break that, especially if I can find a pre-owned blue dial auto at a nice price.

$482 on Ebay new in Blue!!!

Good video

Love mine ❤🎉🎉🎉

İt does not fit my tiny wrist, integral bracelet is desteoying it

Sorry it is not that great compared to the Gentlemen; the PRX is like an Alfa Romeo, it looks great when it is released but 2-3 years from now it looks outdated and it will bore you to death which the Tissot Gentlemen will not do as it is way more versatile. Sure the bracelet might not be as good but what does the bracelet matter if you are not going to wear it in the long run 🤷

It's a nice watch but I don't get the hype. Is it because it looks like an AP? I just don't get it. I will wait till I go try it out in person before I settle my thoughts on this watch.

The design is simply not my thing. And the only watch that in my opinion that designed well with a bracelet is the Royal Oak.

I just don't like watches that lack micro adjustment

I have one incredible piece for little cash

Totally agree. I got the 40mm blues dial for $450 on sale. High accuracy, 1-3 sec fast per day, got 88 hours on reserve test. Great watch. I also brought the quart version on leather strap.

Are you sure ”close to 9000 dollars” is ”over 20 times more expensive” than 675 dollars?

I am currently waiting for the PRX automatic with the ice blue dial and leather strap to be released

Love the look and feel of my PRX, for all the reasons Fed discussed. One thing he didn't mention was accuracy. Maybe I got a good one, but it runs steady as a rock at -3s a day. Great looks, great spec, and COSC accuracy for $675? It's an insane deal.

I opted for a 35mm quartz in ice-blue and I'm very happy with it, especially since I got a fairly good discount. Accuracy so far is about +5 sec. a YEAR.

I just got the 40mm blue quartz with alligator leather strap delivered this week...and am honestly blown away by the quality. Getting this for $250.00 is practically a steal. Got quartz as this will not be a daily driver...but rather a grab and go piece for going out to dinner/bars when I don't want to wear some of my more valuable pieces. Fits the collection role perfectly! Thanks for doing this review Fed!

Great review of a great watch. For the money, it's unbeatable.

I bought the Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium 18K Yellow Gold, leather strap, which is the cousin of this PRX. It's accurate to within 1 second per day. I get compliments on it all the time. At this price, you cannot touch these two Tissot watches in looks or Swiss level quality, especially for everyday wear. Thanks for the great review. Agree 100%.

I recently got the light blue PRX automatic and it's my daily wear.

Can’t wait for the 35mm powermatic

I own this model as well as the Chrono version. Both are great value for the money.

One of the favorites in my collection. Great video my man!

I have it in 3 colors including the ice blue. Love me some Tissot!

@Federico Talks Watches What is resale value of Tissot T race T048427A automatic…Purchased it for 904$ 10 years back…How much can I expect when I sell to a dealer or individual?

An awesome watch for the money, or frankly, an awesome watch period! On the grey market you can get one for under $600. How can you beat that.

What I like about this watch is that it's keeps very excellent time u don't even need to set it often and great finishing also

Very nice watch, but I would still get the GP.

I’ve heard that they use plastic in that prx and the movement is designed to be thrown away so ill never buy a watch like that

Nice review! It's good to hear others who have access to top-tier brands yet acknowledge unattainability isn't everything. As you say, it's vg value for money. I've the same movement in a Certina Big Date CS-1 60th anniversary. I've just ordered the gold 40mm version that echoes the AP Royal Oak. I could buy an AP copy but I don't like fakes or what they represent. If you get over watch snobbery, and the price bonanza fuelled by flipping (thankfully perhaps coming to an end), there are some great mainstream watches around. I leave aside microbrands that are also often terrific value for money. These other brands, often steeped in history even if now in modern and multigroup ownership, look smart and are v fairly priced since they have to rely on attraction to people who don't have deep pockets and so quality, design and price count for everything. It's lovely to see the watch industry resurgence and to see so much accessible choice.

Great watch and awesome to hear that you are enjoying it Federico. I decided to go for the blue dial quartz version. I feel that it's more faithful to the original seastar,and can't dea with powermatic on the dial

One more thing: the nivachron balance spring was developed between Swatch and Audemars Piguet.

Fed nails it in this review. The PRX could sell for much more. If you're thinking about getting one, buy it, you won't regret it. A great looking Swiss automatic watch at that price is incredible value.

When I am going places where I don’t want an expensive watch on I reach for my PRX80. I have the blue dial and bought my dad the white dial one. Great watch.

I like the new ice blue one.

Decided to get one based on your previous enthusiastic video about the PRX line. I got the Ice Blue dial. Loving it! Thx Fed!

Fully agree Federico! I've collected for many years, and have/have had many iconic pieces incl. a RO. And this watch blew my mind in terms of what you get. So much that I had to get 2 :-D Tip: The delugs PRX rubber straps, are a very cool match with the PRX if that's your thing.

Good video but The Tissot PRX powermatic 80 is not worth the extra 300. The dial and that ETA 2824 movement is not worth it compared to the Quartz. The Original remake is the Quartz version. The powermatic looks more the an AP.

I bought it yesterday 🎉😊❤👏👏👏

Leather strap is affordable as well and now Tissot has rubber straps for this. Hard to beat!

Top nothing more to say love mine since 12 months 👍👍👍

Chose the Gentleman in green and yes, love it.

I have the Tissot PRX Ice Blue 40mm on the way ... I can't wait. It's my first Tissot - For afordable watches I always go for Hamilton and Seiko - But that ice-blue dial is just too stunning to resist.

Significant differences between the two price points to watch enthusiasts for sure. For the average consumer, it's all the same.

Thanks for presenting. I have the green one you have BUT: It is my fifth PRX model and the FOURTH with faults. The one I have now, this green one, has misaligned of falsely set hands. Not one single full hour sees the hour hand aligned with the respective index AND it has a metal chip on index 5. My first green one had a scratch on the dial, went to Tissot for repair and came back with another, new scratch... I love the PRX and everything about it but Tissot DOESN'T have quality control. They CAN NOT have QC, otherwise pieces like the ones I received wouldn't leave the factory...

What's this I hear about the movement being mostly plastic? I have one and don't see any plastic. Also, yes the quality is not up to Longines, but at half the cost there is nothing to complain about.

Hey Fed, I'm gonna reccomend some kewl microbrands.. 1- Venezianico 2- Boderry 3- RZE.. All 3 have some AMAZING watches and prices!

Great review Fed! What do you think of the ML Aikon three-hander by comparison? Is it worth the dollars going up from the Tissot?

Probably the quartz version in 35 mm is even a better deal than the automatic model

I just got it yesterday

Great watch but the Maen 37 is a better looking watch in my opinion if you can live without the 80 hour power reserve. Swiss made and the same price as the PRX.

Can you tell Girard Perregaux to make a sport watch for the 5k to 7k market pleeeaaase??

I have both watches and you somehow right, but the comparison is a little bit querky. However there is another watch to consider which is the Tsuyosa from Citizen….maybe even better value for money, if you like integrated design watches…-

This watch runs on base powermatic 80.111 movement which has plastic escapement and pallet fork.

Can you go in the sea with it?

I haven't manage to stop it since I bought it last December very high power reserve

the clasp isn't hard to close you were just doing it backwards

How did you size the prx in terms of how many links on both sides to have your fit and center the clasp?

Looks like something you could buy at the mall in 1982.

Got a quartz green dial one for my birthday last year, great everyday watch!

Doxa watches next video please 🙏

Anyone else cringe when he tried squeezing the GP clasp incorrectly? 😬

I’m happy with seiko spb

For the same price Hamilton is a great option

At 38mm I might be a buyer.

I want to like it. 😕 Meh

Want one, bad. But a 35mm with the powermatic 80

Apples and oranges🍺

How do you rate it against the Sharp Edge from Seiko????

Hl, this was a good Review and I have ordered the lightblue Version. Due to a big run, specially on this Color, i have to wait a couple weeks…

Love mine 💚

At 38mm I might be a buyer.

Bought this exact watch when it came out to experiment with integrated bracelets and I freaking love it. Almost wore it today, and now I know I should have lol To this day it's the only time I've had someone call out my watch from across the room :)

Powermatic movements can not be serviced. Get the quartz.

I’ve seen all sorts of comments around the internet, as well as on this post, about this movement supposedly not being serviceable. Doesn’t quite seem possible to me. Is there any truth to this?

The plastic escapement is unregulatable.

I know I am in the minority, but the Tissot PRX does nothing for me. Looks wholly uninteresting. The case and bracelet "finishing" looks bad and rough. The caseback is a snapback? It's a great value from a bigger brand, but it's not checking the right boxes for me.
