I really don't get it either. People who say it's just an overpriced Casio really don't get it. The main appeal of the PRX as a whole is the excelent case finishing and bracelet for the price, and in here you're getting that quality for the lowest MSRP value possible. And complaining that the screen looks small in the case is forced as hell

Another cracking video Andrew. I agree with most of your choices with one slight exception. The Tissot PRX Digital. Why you may ask, it looks odd with a rectangular display shoved into a round sports/dress watch and in that respect for someone who missed the 70's you would be correct, actually you would arguably be correct anyway. Well, there is a handy (no pun intended as it's a digital display) to this watch. For fans of racing it's actually really good, with the stopwatch you can record multiple consecutive lap times without the need for two stopwatches (one is stopped after a lap when another starts so you can record the time), you can also record the delta times between the whole field of competitors. So in a nutshell it probably should be consigned to the annuls of mistaken wristwatches bin but it's actually a very useful tool that may look odd. I also think it looks better in the smaller size as the display looks bigger. A dress watch no, but as a sports watch for racing that's another story.

The PRX digital is one of the coolest watches in recent years. It's nice to see a Swiss brand bragging about a new digital and even naming the module in the marketing. The 4012 Calibre is worth mentioning. It is simply sublime and suited to the PRX's 70s vibe. Digital is coming back, as is quartz, as shown by the quartz Patek. Bring it on! We've had too many years now of horology aficionados obcessing over mechanical watches. Lets now enjoy a second wave of quality quartz and digitals.

@wargamingrefugee9065 23 күн бұрын

Admittedly, I'm a mechanical movement preferer. My current project is cramming a Miyota 9015 automatic into a Casio Duro/Marlin, replacing the quartz 2115 Miyota. The 2115 is a good, all metal movement -- but that one hertz, quartz tick just isn't for me. That aside, I agree with you. Bring on the new, digital watches! And some LED's to go with the LCD's. Also, there's no reason we need to settle a single color backlight. RGB illumination would be a fun and easy to implement option. Additionally, the negative space around the display would be a great place for some panels for solar charging. A fun, grab and go watch. The cheapest of Casios already have a perpetual calendar, but would multiband 6 enable automatic daylight savings to standard time in addition to auto time setting? Yes, G-Shock's currently do a lot of the above, but the recent Casiotron anniversary watch and the PRX digital showed there's a good amount ofI interest in dressier, all metal alternatives. Here's hoping.

I'm not sure why, but i feel sad for the PRX digital. It doesn't seem as offensive as it sound, honestly. Round cased rectangle dialed digital watches existed in the golden age by Casio and Timex, to mention two, and since the analog PRX are more or less from that time, a digital version is theoretically an unique exercise on "what would have been". It also had an unique potential to be a premium vintage-styled digital watch that Casio is yet to offer (the limited edition Casiotron reissue is more expensive, if i'm not mistaken). My bet is that it was too outlandish for the mechanical enthusiasts pleased with the PRX and too unheard-of for Casio fans (the majority of digital owners), specially because it's not actually a reissue.
