What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Tissot PRX

The Tissot PRX is widely praised for its excellent case and bracelet finishing, offering remarkable value and a luxurious feel that belies its price point. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight its comfortable, thin profile and integrated bracelet design. The dial pattern is noted for its retro, 1980s aesthetic, and the reliable automatic movement contributes to its appeal as a strong contender for a first mechanical watch. However, some owners point out a lack of micro-adjustment on the bracelet clasp, and one reviewer noted issues with quality control on a chronograph model, including a malfunctioning hand and dust on the dial. The sapphire crystal's lack of AR-coating and the shininess of the hour and minute hands are also mentioned as minor drawbacks. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PRX highly for its exceptional finishing and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Powermatic 80 movement's reliability and 80-hour power reserve are consistently praised. The integrated bracelet's susceptibility to scratches is a noted weakness. Reviewers disagreed on whether the Powermatic 80 movement's accuracy significantly surpasses the quartz version.

Tissot PRX Damascus Steel

The Tissot PRX Damascus Steel is noted for its unique Damascus steel case and dial, which some owners find visually appealing and appreciate the intricate pattern. One owner enjoys looking at the watch's movement. The 38mm size is considered reasonable for the price, though it may be too small for some wrists. One owner experienced a scratch that detracted from the Damascus pattern, but this was resolved by the dealer. The reviewer found the Damascus steel case and dial to be "a bit over the top." Overall, owners and reviewers find the Tissot PRX Damascus Steel to be a unique watch with a polarizing aesthetic, with its value tied to its distinctive material.

From video reviewers

The unique Damascus steel dial is a significant aesthetic strength. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
