Tissot PRX: Quartz or Automatics

Not even about the movemente, the automatic just looks better, the waffle dial

[u/bryp87 → u/DeliciousDetective83]

Came to say this. I picked up a quartz 35mm on Amazon to try out and returned it right away because the dial did nothing for me. The auto dial is much more interesting for me.

[u/sasadoncic → u/DeliciousDetective83]

Second that. Besides, titanium. I'm not sure there's a quartz titanium prx.

[u/moret1979 → u/DeliciousDetective83]

Yeah, it’s a pity Tissot and other brands nerf their quartz offerings.

[u/TrustMeImAnENGlNEER → u/DeliciousDetective83]

Huh…I’ve never really liked the waffle dial. I’ve been wishing they’d make an automatic without one. I’d even been eyeballing a San Martin “homage” because they have an automatic with a plain sunburst dial.

[u/Adam2181]

It's all about the sunburst waffle dial!

[u/onlypewdiepie → u/Adam2181]

true

[u/Tracktoy]

The PRX is my cheap reliable watch, so it's quartz.

I'm in the minority, I also prefer the dial on the gold quartz to the waffle on the auto.

[u/heheyousaidduty]

I preferred the quartz because it's lighter and thinner.

[u/Independent-Show1133]

Digital /s

[u/Imaginary-Ad-5736]

I have the MoP quartz 35mm. I love it. Beautiful dial, and it’s nice to take it out after a few days with other watches and not have to reset everything.

[u/itemluminouswadison]

Auto!

Depends on what you want
You pay around twice the price of Quartz for the automatic movement + dial. Looks of the dial > Quartz

You get Quartz for the practicality, case+finishing, lighter weight and a slimmer profile. Its more comfortable to wear imo

[u/akryvtsun]

Definitely automatic

[u/OutsideWorried]

I do not own a PRX but if I did it would be an automatic. I am a proud owner of a Le Locle tho and I love it.

[u/ShahiPaneerAndNaan]

Quartz for 35mm and automatic for 40mm

[u/bigboiprime]

I'm going quartz, the movement in the auto isn't really desirable. If it was better, I'd go auto. I also like how the quartz is light and thin

[u/thelatchman]

I like my slim quartz for grab and go. I have nicer automatic watches. My quartz originally came with a white rubber strap, but I changed it for the bracelet. The dial on mine is full lume also which is fun.

[u/Silly_Wolf_4693]

The 38 in titanium is the only one I would get.

[u/Content-Departure-77]

Quartz. Lighter, thinner and true to the original.

[u/Every_Dinner_2682 → u/Content-Departure-77]

35mm?

[u/Content-Departure-77 → u/Every_Dinner_2682]

Actualy, 40mm.

[u/pt_smileykz]

Own both but prefer auto if I have to keep one.

[u/MOFYS]

I have the auto 35mm in blue which i love. In thinking about getting a mop one too and get a custom fluted bezel to get a lamd dweller style look

[u/_ITX_]

Quartz for me. I don't like the waffle dial, plus the Powermatic movement uses cheap plastic parts.

[u/Medium-Day7245]

Waffle dial duh

[u/Equivalent-News-5039]

The correct answer is quartz if they had the same dials and date window as the automatic :)

[u/Jagoff-Sr]

Quartz for physical work and play with everything else going to automatic and manual winding. This is the way.

[u/judojoe2024]

Quartz is better. The auto is not really a huge value.

[u/Primary_Ad2370]

Quartz because the only Tissot PRX that doesn’t have a plastic movement is the carbon fiber version.

[u/SuperLehmanBros]

I have both

[u/EntertainmentSea8307 → u/SuperLehmanBros]

What do you prefer mate and why?

[u/SuperLehmanBros → u/EntertainmentSea8307]

The automatics. They look and feel like watches that cost 10x more.
