Awesome video as usual Andrei along with your brilliant sketches! One of my favourite watch reviewers for sure!! All the best

I had the exact same sentiment about the PRX quartz as well. From a historical viewpoint the quartz model is actually the more historically accurate variant. The irony is that the seastar quartz was indicative to the quartz crisis Tissot faced during those times, but now the revival of the model is literally one of their best sellers and an anchor model within the latest line-up (as of 2022)

I have the 35mm PRX quartz and it is a great watch. The size along with the quartz movement is basically a 1 to 1 of the original 70's version. It feels like a real piece of history on your wrist for a very small price!

The quartz is stunning I have that exact one myself looking forward to the new colours.

Just bought the 35mm quartz as a gift for my dad and he absolutely loves it. Only issue is that the second hands seems to be misalligned in places. It would infuriate me but my dad isn't really a watch guy and didn't care about it so he's happy!

Great video brother and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Omega releases!

Couldn’t agree more Andrei. It’s a really cool little piece. I have the brushed silver & gold variant and now it’s getting colder where I am its getting a lot of wrist time. I’m thinking of putting a cyclops over the date, (a) to help my tired eyes and (b) as a personal nod to the Oysterquatz. Looking forward to the DS-2 review. I’m looking for a vintage DS-2 no date before this release pushes the prices up, and once the BNIB prices settle I’ll pick a new one too I think. 🤔

I would agree, I always thought that if I was going to buy a PRX I would get the powermatic 80 version. But I have been thinking for some time, and your video further convinced me. that the quartz would be the correct option when going for heritage in model. I am also looking forward to being able to purchase the 35mm versions of these watches that hopefully will be available soon, as the original '78 seastar was the same sizing.

personally, I compared the quartz to the automatic in an authorized dealers stand. I left with the automatic, not because the quartz is subpar or not worth the money (it very, VERY much is worth the money) but because I have a preference for the waffled dial and the powermatic 80 movement. i think that for $650 it's a bargain for a swiss made watch with a finishing that rivals $1500 watches that have a movement with half the power reserve. Either way you go, either quartz or automatic, you'll have a great watch.

I would prefer having an automatic, but the quartz version is a more logical option because is almost the same for half the price. I really like waffle dials, but the white version with the brushed dial and the hands and markers in gold is so gorgeous for me and that dial is only available in quartz so it's pretty much a no brainier for me. But to be honest my favorite PRX of all is the new chrono in white, because it has those characteristics plus it's an automatic chrono.

Same with my Tissot Gentleman. I opted for the Quartz as a daily practical option.

I would favour the quartz over the automatic in this case as it is closer in design to the original, is more convienient and accurate AND is a lot cheraper. I think it is a really cool piece, be interesting to see the updated dial colours.

quartz dial FTW -- gorgeous little piece

Hi bro! Love this quartz, practical & robust without the anxiety that comes with wearing an expensive automatic. Love from New Zealand ;D

❤❤❤i wore my prx in public yesterday-the coolest thing about this watch( attracted lots of attention )is that it has its own unique beauty !...doesnt look like a homage or a fake watch-i predict that these low prices of the prx line will skyrocket into the wonderful of vanity-and i am a proud owner of the quartz no worries excellance-a watch u can quickly grab and go out without the hassle of setting the time or adjusting-this watch will transform the efficiency of wearing an attractive lightweight thin timepiece !!

So true, the very reasons I purchased the blue quartz variant last year here in Australia.

I don’t mind quartz watches if they’re done right. I have a Citizen quartz that hits all the tick marks, it’s a beautiful thing to see. And like you, I agree autos can’t compete with the quartz ‘grab and go’ functionality. I love mechanical watches but as I get older I can appreciate quartz for what they are and what they offer to me personally.

I just took the same decision and bought the quartz two days ago. I love it and it the only quartz watch in my collection. The price makes it even more enjoyable and will be doing a review soon.

I have the same feeling about the quartz version as it reminds me more 70s than its mechanical counterpart... the problem is I just dont like replacing batteries, but I understand the appealing of an era also deserves love from the watch entusiast, so I think you are right.

Nice Video...I prefer the PRX Quarz with the green dial 👍

I have the blue automatic Version, it was no easy choice, but that clous der Paris dial got me.

Absolutely loving my Tissot PRX blue quartz !!!

Great video! Amazing visuals! What camera are you using??

Your videos are always so well made and the drawings are beautiful! The PRX is awesome. Can’t understand the hate for quartz in the watch industry. It’s so silly. And just like you, I get annoyed with having to set the date all the time! I much prefer watches without the date window. Btw, you also inspired me to get the Vostok Amphibia, so thanks for that! :)

Agree 100% regarding rushing out of the house and not wanting to set the time/ date etc.

great video. thanks for the insight

Great quality video! Very nice...

Can't wait for these Certina beauties review...

The PRX quartz is really nice and because of the dial looks even better than the automatic (that's maybe just me). Got me Oceanus s100 last week though, so the Tissot will have to wait.

Have the blue quartz. Love it

I bought the green automatic a few weeks ago. I think it’s personal preference of what you’re looking for. I wanted the automatic watch because of the sweeping movement. I love it.

I got the silver dial quartz version of the PRX because of the Oysterquartz vibe.

I would buy the quartz and remove the second hand. But I wouldn't buy an integrated bracelet watch so there's that. Excellent videography. Thanks

Looking forward to both of the Certinas in the end of this video 😇🙌

For this watch quartz feel right. Keeps with the 70s feel. Although the auto dial looks better

I'm more on the Quartz side with my watches, it's almost because the price and the practicality. My price limit is 1200$ for a watch. Like you, the PRX Quartz is the best choice to go. Nice video... I'm hyped for the two certina coming ;)

Yes, bud, watching the vids on 75" 4k TV - very nice! Hope you're right about the 36mm - Might grab one of those.

Quartz for me too. Simply reason is that I only wear my watch on weekends, so to adjust my automatic watch every weekend is no fun for me. Just "pick up and good to go" is the advantage of quartz in my opinion.

Tissot prx quartz with a smooth second hand movement would have made it a more premium offering at a lower price, also eliminating the problem of the hand not falling on the marker perfectly. If timex can do it with Q chronograph, tissot can do too!

superb video quality and macro shots! may i ask, what is the e-reader model? thank you.

Automatic watches are like manual cars. Cool to collect, fun to drive, but I wouldn't use them as daily drivers especially in a city. In this day and age where everyone has atomic time synced on their apple watches/iphones, I don't want to be caught even a few minutes off using mechanical watches. I hate having to reference other time sources regularly to make sure my watch is still accurate - it takes authority and confidence away from the watch. The whole point of watches is to keep time, and to me a reliable and accurate watch makes me more punctual. Of course to some watches are simply jewelry, I have nothing to say about that. A perfect balance between smart watches which are accurate but requires constant charging and syncing with another device, and mechanical watches with it's cool factor but a relatively lack in reliability and durability is quartz. I love myself a quality stainless steel, saphire quartz.

Yeah, u got the point bro. I myself will go for the quartz one. But i hope Tissot will launch the bigger size one. The current one is quite small n it looks like a lady’s watch.

The worst is, that they are not able to align the second hand to hit all 60 markers every time. That’s why I don’t want a Quartz with a big second hand.

What do you think about the new prx launch. They are set to release a 35mm model which may have lug to lug of 45mm i guess. And it has new strap options.

Just saw that there would be a CHRONO version coming out in june/july! Time and tide just announced it! :))

I have read thatThe powermatic is Lazer Regulated which means you have to send it to Tissot for regular maintenance and repair! I would choose the 35 millimeter blue sunburst quartz because it is a perfect Reissue of the Tissot Seastar from which it stems!

I'd go for the quartz, but I wish they did a solar powered movement rather than battery; Citizen does this, their movement work spectacularly well and you never have to worry about a stupid battery running out of juice.

I think I ve made the same comment on the automatic prx video … :) the PRX pink logo imo looks like subaru’s STI logo :) i’d like to see in person this quartz version … ;)

Agree the Tissot prx quartz blue dial is better then the automatic in my opinion. The dial on the prx quartz brushed blue dial is killer and the no worry just wear it and go.

I want to get the 35mm Gold version, it will fit and look good on me better than the others

i have the powermatic 80 in both blue and black, just wish the white dial doesn't come with gold accent.

Damn, the second hand on yours is literally the best I've ever seen. I'm hesitant because it's off in every other video, sometimes WAY off.

I haven't tried a PRX on my wrist yet, but I did try on a Visodate years ago. I disliked the Visodate bc it sat awkwardly on my wrist due to the case back. I feel like the automatic version of the PRX will have the same issue with the displayed case back being taller than the quartz version. The green dial on the quartz looks much nicer than the green in the auto version too. I guess I just need to try one on.

I’m the same way. I can’t be bothered to set that date. I have several time only watches and quartz.

i would want to buy an automatic version of the watch but my only concern is that some of the parts are plastic(the material isn't the issue) , i have heard that a lot of watch makers would give up servicing this watch and if you want it to get serviced , you might have to send the watch to tissot , where they might just replace the whole movement which is a big issue for me because i would want the movement to remain the same .

tissot PRX my preference

I was wondering about the quality and finishing of modern Tissot quartz watches. I have a Tissot pr100 watch from 1998 and one Tissot pr100 from 2017. The one from 1998 has a screw down crown and caseback it has polished roman markers and a waffled dial. Inside it has a removable protective metal plate that sits between the caseback and the battery maybe against magnetism? The modern one has non of those features and a plastic movement holder. Point is that those 90's pr100's look like they are better build and far more expensive than the modern ones. Is it the same with the prx?

I was thinking about getting this watch, but after all I kinda hate fixed bracelets. I think I prefer the gentleman or the tradition

I have the real 78 quartz Tissot Seastar that the PRX is based on! I think I will just hold on to that!

I love my Quartz.

I picked the quartz because I like the smooth dial more than the waffle, if they had the smooth dial in auto, I would've gotten that instead

A quartz movement is more in line with the overall design of the PRX model, in my opinion. You've just said the same, as well.

i went quartz white and gold, second hand as value option

For Rolex,The styles that "sell" are the same styles that sold more than 50 or 60 years ago!

your the best!!!

I'd still get the automatic, that waffle dial in the automatic is something...

How do you like this compared to the gentleman quartz?

What is yr wrist size? 36mm looks well proportioned on yr wrist. Mine is approx 16.5cm, due to the integrated link, 40mm looks a bit large for my taste. I like more muted kind of navy dial, on this point, this dial seems to be ok.

I would like the quartz version but there's no waffle dial option unlike the automatic...

I want the ice blue 35mm. But will probably not but it. Why? Second hand not hitting the markers. That's why I sold a previous Tissot watch I owned

My wrist is 16,9/17 cm should I wait for a new smaller version or it is too small 35 mm I can't decide.

We all have our own opinions. Some are based on our depth of knowledge or experience and some are based on plain bias,but bear in mind that watch bloggers may present their opinions as objective facts while in truth,they are only subjective opinions! Our job is to do as much true research as we can and form our own OPINIONS!

What is acceptable for the second hand dial? Mine is moving around +2.5 seconds a day. Is this Oke?

$375 Com on man! Are you kidding me? A steal!

Every watch collection needs at least 1 quartz IMHO :)

I actually prefer quartz myself, but I have sort of a rule that it needs to be solar powered. (Eco-drive or whatever the other equivalents are ...) I hate to deal with batteries in this day and age.

does all prx watches have blue lumen?

i was going to purchase a high end automatic omega-rolex-patek-for an everyday everywhere watch--'BUT THEN I SAW THE PRX QUARTZ :) '....xoxoxoxo

I'm wearing the automatic today... dude, do you have cameras in my house?? lol

Quartz is simply superior in every way besides the fetishism for complicated mechanisms.

Some Tissot quartz watches use ETA PreciDrive movements. Supposedly accurate to +-10 seconds a year. Not sure about these.

The movement in the PRX automatic is BAD. That is the version with 23 jewels = plastic escapement without jewelled pallets. Only the version of powermatic 80 with 25 jewels is good and worth to buy!!!

Wrist size? Ty 4 video

I don't think the servicing costs will make the automatic version worth it long term. One major reason I choose mechanical over quartz is that I intend on keeping my watches for life and pass them down to my kids. But I really don't see myself spending $200-$250 to service a PRX. And also, I have a feeling that within about 5 years this whole 70s design trend will have faded

Quartz like the original

Honestly I wouldn’t pay more than $100 for a quartz watch, i’d rather head to Ali express to get a quartz homage like this. That said I really like the powermatic 80, and waffle dial, I wouldn’t mind spending a little extra on a movement like that even if it’s not technically 70s correct

music at 21 seconds?

привет я заметил, что ты читаешь комментарии и решил написать на русском, надеясь, что смогу передать эмоции. мне понравился обзор, и особенно понравилась музыка в видео в самом начале:) очень интересно узнать мнение по поводу иногда непопадающей секундной стрелки по меткам

What do you think the PRX Chronograph?

Why don’t they offer a quartz PRX without a second hand? Just with hour and minute hands? Then I wouldn’t mind getting a quartz.

0:25 what is the watch in the left?

I like the automatic much more

I prefer the auto😀

I don't get the point of automatics in 2022. Some people are luddites and prefer to crank their car over with a hand crank and still listen to vinyl. Apple gets it. Casio largely gets it. All my watches are quartz. Set and forget. No BS servicing of fussy mechanical movements. This is a lovely watch and yes the best decision for: More accurate Lower cost Thinner watch body No winding Set and forget

The reason I pick the Quartz is because all my watches were automatic. The quartz PRX the best beater.

I have a 70’s Tissot Seastar and it’s and automatic. I don’t see a valid reason for buying the quartz version besides the price.

Putting Deposit down on PRX Crono Panda .

For this I'd go quartz because it's a trendy watch that's going to get dated & I'd not want to loose too much on it...tho it's too Genta for me tbh Good video as always, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

Its not abot how precise is watch but how valuable is watch on re sale. Automatic watch will be always more valuable on second hand market.

No with no waffle dial
