It can be a tough choice deciding between the Tissot PRX Quartz or the Automatic. So, I decided to make a little comparison video to make it easier. Enjoy!

Did you know that the automatic version has plastic in the mechanism and designed to not be serviceable just a throwaway and that is the reason why I would not buy the watch

@jasonh8212 Жыл бұрын

I actually like the cleaner simple face of the quartz version over the automatic. Simple and clean

Surprised not many people talk about the white face. That is pure class imo. On the quartz, it looks like more like a silver face and its insane how beautiful it is under any light

I bought quartz version as my first watch a week ago. Couldn’t be happier. The automatic has indeed a more “alive” feel to it, but I like the clean look more. I don’t think I would find nicer watch for this price.

The only thing that made me choose the automatic version was the dial. I'm not a huge fan of flat sunburst dials, so I went with the Powermatic 80 with the blue waffle dial. It's an amazing watch if you recall that it only costs somewhere around 600-650€. The accuracy is very good too at +2.4 seconds per day in my case.

You say that the Quartz Revoloution replaced a lot of automatic watches. My recollection of that time is that manual wind watches were still very much a thing back then. Especially at the lower end of the market. In 1981 went straight from a swiss manual wind to a Japanese quartz watch and was amazed by its accuracy and durability. It wasn't 'technically' more accurate it was demonstrably more accurate than any automatic or manual wind watch I have ever worn.

I choose the quartz because I already have a ton of automatics, including a non-PRX Powermatic 80 watch, and while I love automatics, I'm running out of winders and patience to keep them wound so I can use them anytime. The quarts looks pretty close to the Powermatic version, is a more accurate homage to the 1970s Tissot Seastar since that was a quarts as well, and to top it off, it's ready to go without any fiddling no matter how long it's been in the drawer.
