Tissot PRX vs Christopher Ward Twelve vs Citizen ‘Tsuyosa’ 

I'm drawn to the Citizen. I don't want a delicate watch. I want a solid, no-nonsense watch, everyday watch, for work.

Great review and probably the first I’ve seen preferring the prx after a detailed comparison. Kudos for the great work!

Citizen def. doesn't wear the biggest, it wears smaller than the PRX. Sold the PRX because it was too big for my wrist, Citizen fits like a charm!

I have the PRX ice blue and has a superb value.

Money no object, probably the titanium Twelve. If it was the steel, it would be a closer call between that and the PRX. I do love the PRX as well though. The Tsuyosa is one hell of a bargain and will be a big summer hit now that it's more widely available. Thanks for the brief, but detailed comparison. I particularly enjoyed the discussion on the measurements/fit and bracelets.

Very Nice. I’d go PRX all the way. While I do like the light blue I’d probably go with a different color because I like standing out from the crowd. I don’t want the same popular color.

For me it's the PRX the winner... Nice video

The Christopher Ward Twelve (Ti) is a master timepiece.

0:50 the CW hqs the applied logo made of crosses and squares but it DOESN'T line up with the crosses and squares on the dial texture?!?!

Could you not get the Christopher Ward 12 in steel ice blue for comparison?

I have a six inch wrist and the 40 prx is too big for me. Actually the tsuyoba fits great and I got the yellow one. I this it fits much better than the PRX. The PRX is really flat and hung off the side of my wrist. The tsuyoba doesn't overhang my wrist and actually fits perfectly.

I just bought the gold 40mm PRX and it's a beauty. I love the retro classic look and that it echoes the AP. Why not? I don't wear fakes and it isn't an homage as it is actually based on Tissot's own 1970s design. The integrated bracelet is well-made and very comfortable on the wrist. I prefer the idea of an in-house movement in the Tissot (albeit from Swatch) and the longer power reserve is handy if you alternate your watches. The gold is very warm visually and makes a change from the usual stainless steel and leather or rubber straps on many non-precious metal watches. At the price point, it is considerably less than the CW, making adding to a collection more reasonable.

Personally, it’s less about the $500 difference and more about the fit. I don’t think anyone would doubt that the PRX is simply just less refined than the CW 12 with its larger clunky/chunky look, making it a bit more difficult to wear with those of us who have smaller wrists. Since the CW 12 is on back order anyway, with a little bit of patience once could wait to pick it up pre-owned for $900-$1000, closing that price gap a bit.

Both design, while beautiful, certainly takes inspiration from a number of other luxury sports watches. However, the PRX is the better watch. Older more establish brand, more advance movement with modified barrel housing, thinner main spring, 80 hour reserve, Polymer escapement and fork, Patented Nivachron balance spring, movement made of ARCAP, an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc (at least in part) from similar a material. Giving it antimagnetic properties. It is lower price is more appealing due to the higher brand perception and technology advantages of the movement. I also own a Tissot COSC certified watch and the PRX is very accurate when compared.

the Tudor Royal is higher quality and can be bought for around the price of the CH Ward

Very good comparison 🍻

Correction, the lig to lug is bigger in the PRX vs the citizen.

I’ve worn the PRX. I own the citizen because it wears better in my smaller wrist….the angled lugs on the Tissot make it wear larger and give it the flying saucer effect….

Please, dump the music in the background or at least take it down a couple of notches.... Otherwise thx for an entertaining video!

I personally prefer the PRX. the cristopher ward dial just feels so busy

If i had to chose i would go fot the CW, but not because i think that its "better" than PRX in any way, HOWEVER the prx is just overall too chunky. The case and bracelet tapers too little making it look more like a bracelet than an actual watch. Also my subjective opinion is that prx has a wayy too small dial compared to the case making it look more like a toilet seat than a watch. Hopefully next gen prx will get better

The titanium 12 uses an SW300-1 which is COSC certified. The stainless steel "the Twelve" uses an SW200-1 which is not COSC certified. As you should know the specification for COSC certification is -4/+6 seconds per day and definitely not the +/- 12 seconds your own slides show. I find the CW to be overwrought and so I'd go for the dark blue PRX. Sorry Citizen but a cyclops is never a good idea.

I was toying with the idea of the Tsuyosa as a less expensive alternative to the PRX. But the more I thought about it, the more I came to view these integrated bracelet designs as being all about the bracelet. And on that count, the Citizen falls flat whereas the Tissot shines. I just ordered an Ice Blue PRX. I like the Twelve very much. Especially that dial. BUT, it costs twice as much as the PRX and I would have to cough up another $200 or so to pay duty. Just not worth it for me. CW needs local representation…as a really like one of their GMTs.

Мне нравится Citizen но я абсолютно уверен что цена во много раз завышена. тут нет ничего чтобы стоить 450 долларов которые Citizen спрашивает на своём сайте. я думаю тут даже нет ничего что могло бы стоить 150 долларов. хотя сами часы красивые

12

It’s the CW twelve for me - but then I own one so I’m biased

what is your wrist size ?

Not really a fair comparison. If you ignore price / value, the CW 12 is by far the better watch, at least in terms of quality and finishing.

Цена гражданина, выигрывает. Более дорогие конкуренты, конечно, лучше.

The Tsuyosa is at least one league below. I own a PRX and a Tsuyosa and I barely wear the Citizen. The bracelett feels cheap in comparison and the clasp is even worse. It´s still a nice watch but I fell out of love with it

PrX easily best value for money and it was also the first to revive the style back, so basically other two are copycats.

Always the Twelve

Prx wins

PRX is still the king in this "category". The Twelve is overpriced and overdesigned. The mechanism is better than Powermatic and more serviceable, finish might be better, but visually it is almost as convoluted as Seiko Alpinist. And Tsoyosa... it's ok, but I still think that quartz PRX would be much better choice value wise than Citizen with underwhelming finish and very basic automatic mechanism.

Not a fair fight, the Tissot is the better watch

The normal Christopher ward is not cosc certified

Did you say I have to look at a logo with a macro lens. HAAAHAHAAHAHAH. That's stupid.

Citizen doesn't even belong in this comparison
