The first two links of the bracelet have too much air under them which is surprising for a watch 10mm thick. Lugless designs do that. This is a nature of my complaint about fit.

WatchUSeek— neutral

The 40mm is slightly longer than I'd prefer due to the integrated bracelet, but still completely comfortable and wears fine on my 6.5" wrist. The 35mm quartz looks tiny in person.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Minor quibbles aside, I absolutely love it and have also been wearing it almost exclusively since buying it last month. I don't know that there's a better sub -$1k sports watch out there.

WatchUSeek▼ don’t recommend

It has a disposable non serviceable movement in it so not worthy and it is nothing in terms of quality compared to a Seiko Presage .

WatchUSeek— neutral

In my view Tissot PRX is a fine entry level Swiss watch that at $550 gm price is ok. At msrp of $700 I think they are pushing it as Chr Ward and others can offer better value.

I personally waited for the Powermatic variant before I picked up a PRX. I found that, in person, the quartz dial feels a lot cheaper looking than the automatic dials

WatchUSeek▼ don’t recommend

Tried them on several times. My personal opinion? Pure influencer hype.

WatchUSeek— neutral

While there are gaps under the first links, the watch head itself sits flat and centered on my wrist. Unfortunately, those gaps are going to exist on both the 35mm and 40mm.

I voted Powermatic 80 , and I voted with my wallet earlier this week. I felt free to choose black because my Aqua Terra is blue, and I'm pleased with the black PRX.

WatchUSeek▼ don’t recommend

Nor do I find the watch particularly attractive; if anything, it is boring.

WatchUSeek— neutral

I like the watch very much but on the whole I think I prefer the dial on the quartz, having seen both in the flesh so to speak. The waffle just seemed a bit lifeless.

i owned a PRX powermatic 40mm for more than a year. I loved it. Not sure why folks would call it crap. It's absolutely great value for an integrated bracelet watch

WatchUSeek▼ don’t recommend

40mm is too awkward fit unless you have 19 inch wrists.

WatchUSeek— neutral

where the PRX shines is when you don’t want to spend $1000 plus on an integrated bracelet sports watch, at that price range it’s hard to beat.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Never could stop missing the PRX and finally replaced it with a black dial 35mm Powermatic. There's nothing overly special about the PRX. It's just a damn good, versatile sports watch for the money.

WatchUSeek▼ don’t recommend

Crappy butterfly clasp, wears wide/large/top heavy.

WatchUSeek— neutral

After considering? Nope. Not my jam. So whatever the price, it doesn't represent any kind of value to me.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

i owned the blue PRX powermatic up until last month when i sold it as part of a culling of my collection. however no complaints. it has Royal Oak vibes for a fraction of hte price and the 80 hr PR is a great bonus

WatchUSeek— neutral

Admittedly, the lume on the PRX is virtually non-existent, but the watch is fantastic in the the light.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I think it stands tall amongst it's peers. You can get these on sale, and the quality is great. it's not finished like a higer end watch but it's really ended being a watch I think is a no Brainer if you like the style.

WatchUSeek— neutral

I tried one for a while. I thought it was a cool watch, but there were just a couple of little things that missed the mark for me: I felt like it wore larger than its 40mm dimension for me, and the crown seemed disproportionately small in relation to the case

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I had the powematic version of this watch very briefly. (wish I had taken pictures while wearing it!) It was just absolutely marvelous. The sun would hit the dial and polished center links and dance around all over the place.

WatchUSeek— neutral

The PRX was around $700 and the Aikon was $1,500, but it's easy to see where my money went.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I'd like to add that the PRX bracelet makes me smile. The flat links with a very light brushing, combined with polished beveled surfaces in between the links catches the light with just the right level of flash. Fun, but not excessive.

WatchUSeek— neutral

for me, have a 6.5" wrist and found the 40mm size to be just fine when i owned my PRX.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

everyone loves them...they work flawlessly and look good in my experience nearing two years now...would recommend it highly

WatchUSeek— neutral

Quality was great, but it was hard to read. But my vision isn’t great.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Overall, I'm very pleased with it. For those with short attention spans, it is a very well done piece for the price that generates few complaints. If you like the style you will be pleased, and I can recommend adding it to your collection.

WatchUSeek— neutral

Still a nice watch for the price though.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I find it to be a very comfortable wear, I removed two links and it fit me perfect. There is a lot to like about it, worth the cost I think so. My biggest negative, the small crown makes winding and time setting a little bit less then optimal.

WatchUSeek— neutral

I have a PRX that I am very happy with. I am also very happy with my ML Aikon. However, when I look at them side by side, it's obvious to me that there are good reasons why the PRX is so much less expensive. The craftsmanship on bracelet, the bezel, the dial, the case and the movement decoration are all inferior to the Aikon.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Went with powermatic for both the PRX and its classier gentleman cousin. I can't do without the sweeping seconds hand and fuzzies knowing it's mechanical. The powermatic models IMHO are a steal at full MSRP being priced well below their value.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Affordable is relative but it’s a great value. Originally had the PM80 in blue, sold it and got the PM80 ice blue.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

The waffle dial is unique and I don’t have a similarly textured dial in my collection. Just based on handling it, the price is more than fair. I really liked the smooth shiny bezel with its contrast to the brushed integrated bracelet. I was impressed.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I own one and I would say this is perhaps one of the most iconic watches in recent times based on what it is offering at its price range. To me the PRX excels in three things - the finishing of the case/bracelet, the dial and the quality of the bracelet.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

As to the PRX P80 , I love it much more than I thought I would and end up wearing it every couple of days.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I have been pleased with my PRX. Good value for the money in my opinion, especially at gray market prices.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

after doing my research and then seeing it in person it was almost a no-brainer. I wear it almost daily.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Had mine for over two years. Still working perfectly and providing continual enjoyment for me-

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

It really is a beautiful watch. The way it just reflects light is one of my favorite features.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

It is a solid, well built bracelet, I don't find it objectionable, and is more than adequate.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Totaly love the watch. hold it price well in second hand market due to the popularity.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

It's definitely a great watch for the price. Brilliant bracelet and I love the look.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Personally I'm very impressed and been wearing mine almost every day when possible.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I’ve owned a 40mm with the green waffle dial for about a year now and I love it.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

She's pretty much made hers her daily go-to cause she loves it so much too.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

Yeah, early indication is the Powermatic 80 in my PRX runs very accurately

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I had the Powermatic 40 in blue when they were first released and sold it due to its size. It wore really large for the specs. Loved the aesthetic though, so I bought a 35 with the champagne dial/gold hands. My wife quickly stole it and wears it every day. Lovely watch with a great bracelet.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I like it, it's very Royal Oak but different in places too.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I have the automatic version and really recommend it

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I have the same blue dialed one. Love it so much.

WatchUSeek▲ recommend

I love my PRX, I think it looks amazing!

Love this movement in my PRX.
