While a new Tissot is very desirable, there is nothing about them that would make them desirable as a second-hand option. Sure, there might be a few contemporary options that hold value better than others; however, you should make peace with the fact that you're buying a watch to be used.

The movement is at the heart of every watch, and for many is an important factor when buying a watch. Simply put, the PRX has a quartz movement and the Powermatic 80 has an automatic movement. Our team is often biased towards mechanical but it's hard to make a strong case for the Powermatic.

That's far from the case with the new 35mm version of the Tissot PRX though, as it's smaller from all angles, apart from the height. The brand already teased us with a ladies' version of what a 35mm PRX could be, but this one had a fluted gold bezel, rows of diamonds for the hour indices and a sunray brushed dial.

Precise and Robust A few years later, Tissot registered the PRX name. “PR” stands for Precise and Robust, while “X”, in Roman numerals, stands for the 10 atmospheres of depth to which the watch remains water-resistant, or a total of 100m. Today, Tissot is launching the PRX 40 205, a reference which recalls that of the original model.

There's the era-defining integrated bracelet and pared-back dial, of course, but its biggest selling point might be the long-lasting power reserve, a term that refers to how long a watch will keep time after its internal spring mechanism is fully wound.

In high-end watches, both are known for their excellent quality and prestige. Tissot is a cheaper brand that offers a wide range of choices that are sure to be innovative and reliable. Conversely, Omega is a sign of wealth because it is elegant and has a long history.

The Verdict: Tissot vs Seiko If Swiss craftsmanship and traditional watchmaking are important to you, Tissot's timepieces offer an excellent combination of quality, style, and affordability. However, if you value technological innovation and a broader range of design options, Seiko's watches may be the perfect fit.

The applied markers on it are extremely well crafted and the hands have no rough edges or visible flaws under the loupe. What makes this watch such a great option for its price is the overall finishing of its case, bracelet, and dial.

Its not too small but you could wear a 40 also. Honestly, if YOU think its too small then you probably wont enjoy wearing it. You should go with whichever size makes you happy when looking down at your wrist. Well, it is not too small, BUUTTT if YOU see it too small you will never unsee it.

On The Wrist The 39.25 mm case diameter and 44.25 mm lug to lug width wear a bit larger than you would expect because of the fixed end links increasing the effective lug to lug width to about 51 mm.

Tissot SA (French pronunciation: [ti'so]) is a luxury Swiss watch brand owned by the Swatch Group. The company was founded in Le Locle, Switzerland by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son, Charles-Émile Tissot, in 1853.

It depends! To say that the Tissot PRX is a success would be an understatement. It is a massive hit, and for obvious reasons. Besides the overall very decent quality of the watch, combined with an accessible price, it's mostly its style that made it so popular…
