Not meant to be a thorough review; I purchased the 35 mm version a few weeks ago and have worn it consistently over these two weeks.
The price ~300 USD price is reasonable considering it comes with a sapphire crystal, an excellent bracelet, great back light and a decent module: Date Time 2nd time zone Lap timer Split timer Count down timer Alarm
This is my first PRX and the bracelet is very comfortable and very articulate. The articulation is such that I can wear the bracelet loose and the watch stays put above the wrist bone.
I do have a few minor observations & questions:
- Why did Tissot choose to have a snap back case instead of a screwed down/in case back, either of which would make it the perfect daily driver?
- The date mode is the first selection and not the time when flipping through the different modes, seems a bit odd to me.
- Lastly it would have been nice to make the tone for the time mode different from the other modes so you can flip through the 6 other modes to the time mode without looking.
I was in the mood for a dressy/sporty quartz watch I can wear to the office, and like the the design of the PRX case and heard great reviews about the bracelet.
I like the Casio Oceanus line but they are a little to big for my wrist and are more expensive and difficult to source. The newer models have strayed from being elegant three handlers.
The lower price Casio’s are also really nice too but the screens are a bit too small and there are very few stainless models. SKXmods do a great job in making some nice metal kits for Casio.
I have looked at other models Citizen Chronomaster, GS and the like which are in a completely different league price wise.
In the end the digital display, the design and price it what pushed me over the edge
