Is there a comparison video between tissot prx or ballade powermatic 80 and longines hydroconquest automatic ? Many thanks
It's apologise Jenni. 😁
Jenni, nice to see that you are partnering with Teddy. I appreciate the quality of both of your reviews and specially your work ethics. Cheers!!
I just bought this watch a few weeks ago. It was a replacement to my Rado, which was stolen when my hotel was looted following a devastating typhoon that hit Siargao Island, Philippines, in December 2021. I absolutely love it. I wasn't even shopping for a Tissot, but there it was in the display shelf. I use it everyday and don't even realize I'm wearing it most of the time.
This is an excellent watch. Enjoy!
I get this watch 2 weeks ago for my 20th birthday and I am so happy with it, and this video makes me happier !
Happy belated birthday Adrian 🎉
Congratulations 👏
Happy birthday and excellent watch as a birthday gift
You’ve made a wise choice young grasshopper
Happy Birthday I got a Rolex Datejust for my 21 birthday 1974 $350
wow the timing of this video is perfect. I was looking into the Tissot gentleman
Perfect timing, this is exactly one of the watches I'm looking at for my first "luxury" watches.
I've had this watch for a few months now and Im still loving it like hte first day i got it!
A nice everyday, every occasion watch at an afforable price. Thanks for the content and the link.
I like that this really plays to the feature dial. Those indices are absolutely fantastic and really do make a feature of themselves, especially with that level of finishing.
Great review as always. Really appreciate those macro shots. The finishing was better than I expected.
"Itty bitty wrist committee"....😄😄😄🏴🏴
#represent :D
Somethings wrong with that phrase, I think all the words in it are supposed to rhyme ;)
Great review, Jenni! The number one thing I wanted to see from your channel is a few more "reasonably" priced watches mixed in for review. Very well done!
I got the green Gentleman for my wedding last year. I love it so much, I got a second, black dial on leather version. AND I got a quartz version for both of my groomsmen for my wedding and they both wear them regularly to this day. Its one of my primary daily wearers, and it's holding up very Well! The movement is still running at about -2s per day. I have recommended the Gentleman to almost anyone who's looking for a GADA watch. The 21mm lug width is a bonus for me personally. I have large wrists so sometimes a 20mm bracelet can feel a bit petit on me. But sometimes a 22mm bracelet just feels like a tank track around your wrist. The 21mm is right in the sweet spot for someone my size for that casual/GADA style daily wearer.
I bought the Tissot Gentleman in the silver dial variant and love it! I love watches that have good value and this is one of them. Not a luxury watch but sure does look like one. I’m a Seiko guy so I appreciate the value this watch brings for the money.
As always a well informed and no nonsense review from Jenni, well done and keep it up.
Brian Kelly except some nitwit above accused her of bias for working with Teddy to getting a referral fee. FFS, a girls gotta eat.
It's my all day watch for almost one year now and I love it as much as my SMPC.
The review is brilliant. The photography in this video is immaculate... made for such an amazing viewing experience!!
Love the review, youre doing a great Job! Keep going, i really enjoy your reviews!
Stunning watch and you did it a great service with those macro shots. I bought it a couple of years ago and it didn’t get as much wrist time that I hoped but I replaced the bracelet with a rubber strap and I wear it regularly now. Great review as always.
I’m wearing my Grand Seiko snowflake and you’re right! I do see the similarities! Great watch and review Jenni :)
I went for the 18k gold bezel version, as I really liked the satinated black dial it came with. It also came on the leather strap and had the 20mm lugs as opposed to the odd lug size of the other auto and quartz Gentlemen. All around beautiful and efficient timepiece.
As someone who really loves watches but is on an incredibly tight budget, I was looking for a nice, affordable automatic watch to replace my relatively boring, sub 400$ Seiko Quartz Chronograph. The Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 actually feels like a nice entry level into the world of automatic swiss watches. Also, I'm really digging the dark blue dial. Thanks for the recommendation and the highly professional review, I love your channel!
My first automatic watch (but mine was 39mm in 2017). Still my favorite watch, and I’m so glad you did a video on it!
Tissot achieved a rare feat that not even Rolex can pull out. They manufactured a watch with a sensible size and managed to make it look larger and chunkier than it is. Whereas Rolex, as we have recently seen, can only make their watches look bigger by increasing their actual size 🙂
I brought this after watching your review. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great review Jenni. I have had a few Tissot watches over time, the finish has always impressed for the cost, the 80 hour power reserve is a bonus and the Gentleman version looks like it punches well above it's weight. I love that blue dial. I'm still laughing at your "itty bitty wrist committee" quote, beautifully describing us with spindle wrists so much more elegantly.
I’ve owned this watch for a year now, and while not COSC certified, the movement is COSC certified in other watches. I’m getting +/- 2 seconds per day. It’s in my opinion the best value in an automatic watch available!
I recently got this watch and it's my first swiss watch. Very nice finish and a beautiful dark blue dial.
I am already planning for another Tissot.
Holy he'll I literally have been on the fence with this ir a glycine sub for a week this video is such good timing 😁😍😍🤗
I just discovered this channel and absolutely love what you are doing. It would be great to get your thoughts on which GMT are your top 3.
I’ve got the 18k gold and it’s fabulous blue dial really compliments it.
Great value for a silicon hair spring. I chose leather over steel as it looks more classy.
I needed this video. My grail is the aqua terra but have so often thought about just going for this. The gentleman is not my first love so I will remain patient. Thanks Jenni, great content 👍
This was a great video for me, given that in the last 12 months I have rid myself of every breathing, IWC, Omega and all bar one Rolex that I owned and started collecting Older Seiko's and Tissot watches...!! Really helpful...!!
"Itty bitty wrist committee" hahahah i died.
Really appreciate your fantastic review and I put this watch on my wishlist.
Good call on comparing it to an Aqua Terra. I never really gave the Tissot Gentleman's watch much thought, but I have always liked certain Aqua Terra's. When you made the comparison, I noticed it right away. Very nice review. Thanks for sharing and cheers.
Owned one for about 6 months. Absolutely fantastic watch, 100% recommend.
When the Gentleman open heart came out what are your thoughts?
I love the way you know all about the tissot and introduce girls in this beautiful pasion.
I picked up a black dial version on the leather deployant strap as I didn’t fancy the non adjustable bracelet with all that shine going on. The reason I bought it was that I was interested in giving the ETA movement a go and checking on its characteristics. Mine runs at +1s/day after about 6 months which is up there with my Rolex watches, better than my Sub for example. The power reserve easily goes past 70 hours and the antimagnetic properties are cool for a watch at this price point. I’ve got a medium sized wrist and I’d say this watch wears true to 40mm which is, after all, biggish for a watch in this style. Overall I’m very happy with this piece as an everyday beater that you won’t care about picking up marks and scratches. It works very well on the strap which is good quality and can be adjusted easily on the fly. Don’t expect JLC or Patek finishing guys, you get what you pay for, but it’s nice to have a display caseback and sapphire front and back. I’d say it’s punching way above its weight. Maybe they should also release a 38mm ‘Tissot Lady’ version. It’s a good job it doesn’t say ‘Gentleman’ on the dial or caseback which would be a bit naff. I’ve also read that this watch can be fitted with a 22mm after market strap no problem.
Nice Review, great Pics; i quite like Tissot; got an „Automatc Navigator“ for my 14 Birthday in 1985; still a timeless Piece.
I own it and its a super watch :) i recommend it to anyone wanting a really nice watch for not so much money. My wrists are 6.75 and it fits nicely. Anything below 6.5 inch will not fit well. Great content!! Keep it up.
It’s my everyday watch, black dial. I love it. Thank you!
I am absolutely delighted with my silver dial Gentleman. It's 95 percent of what a Datejust is for 5 percent of the price. Excellent!
Great review, nice watch, one on my list. Damn there are so many beautiful watches. I couldn’t decide which one to get. 🤯
Great job! Just came across your channel and I'm lovin it!
Spot on! I bought this watch with a silver dial on a leather strap. It is indeed a gorgeous dial. It is also the most accurate "non chronometer" watch that I own. It is definitely a tremendous value. HOWEVER, I bought it because it was only 40 mm. But the prominent polished bezel makes the watch look much larger. I have a 165 mm wrist, this watch is a bit of a stretch. But I will never part with it because it is just so beautiful to look at.
Thanks for another great review, and for being so transparent in your description about your affiliate deal with TB
I was all on board for this watch but then after watching a few reviews, I noticed they all said it wears bigger than 40mm. Between 36-38 mm would be my sweet spot but many of us smaller wristed enthusiasts say that, right? But I want that movement!
I have the Tissot chemin des tourelles Powermatic 80 and can't fault it, also have the Tissot T-Sport Seastar 1000 300 Meter and can't fault that.
Can't see any bad in the one you just reviewed, keep up the good work, you're great
I own this watch. The first 2 months it was running at 0 sec/day. Now It runs +1sec/day. Stunning watch for the price. I handwind it every day because I only wear it for 8 hours/day, and that is not enough to keep it wound. It catches the light beautifully and will turn heads. But I scratched the band and bezel, so now I have to figure out how to polish them again. :)
Respecfully, once you wind an automatic self-winding watch once with approximately 40 turns, you won't have to wind it again unless (in the specfic case of this watch) you take it out of your wrist for more that 80 hrs. Every movement of your wrist makes the rotor spin in the movement and winds the watch constantly. No need to wind it daily.
I love this watch and even enjoy when the advert pops up. It definitely makes me want an Aqua Terra though. Great watch for the money. Great review
ok queeeeen love the video format. and the quality of the video. keep up the the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the review. My view is that this Tissot Powermatic, despite a slightly disappointing bracelet (money has to be saved somewhere) is a great offer from an historically relevant brand.
For most people, including me, makes more sense buying this watch and saving a good few thousand Euros rather than buying an Omega AquaTerra or a now discontinued Rolex OP39. Given the price, you don’t feel so precious about it and can enjoy the watch in most circumstances and if you scratch the case when changing the strap, it does not ruin your week the same as a scar on your Rolex would.
And if you’re lucky, it will keep time fully within COSC spec for Seiko money + services every 5 years won’t require a full month saving to pay for.
Hi Jenni - Great review on all points on this watch. 👍🏼
I prefer the Tissot day date which I've had for a couple of years and am really happy with it. But nice to see a Tissot review
Thanks 👍
I love Tissot watches. I’ve had quite a few in my collection.
Outstanding! Nice every day watch. Love my GT. Best purchase that I've made in years. I have the sunburst blue dial and the bracelet is surprisingly very comfortable.
I have had this watch now for approximately two months. I use it like a casual watch with jeans and T-shirt. I bought the watch on a leather strap, mainly because I did not like the metal bracelet.
I changed out the original leather strap with one of my own 22 mm straps and it fits perfectly. I have been measuring the time, and it runs +2/ seconds per day.
Which clock do you reference for measurement? Atomic clock?
Just ordered the green dial version. Can’t wait!
It's a great looking watch but I would highly recommend actually trying one on as opposed to ordering online. Teddy had me sold up to that point.
I tried one on a strap and it fit strange and seemed larger than it sounds on paper.
6.75 / 7 in wrist.
I would love to try the bracelet version to see if there is any significant difference.
I noticed the time slider bar is highlighted in segments, and a time index in the description. That’s a very nice touch. I’ve not seen that on any other vid. I wonder why that is so few vids have that.
And of course, she is the consummate presenter of watches.
Great review. I will have to take a look at this watch. I bought a Tissot PR100 with the Powermatic 80 when they first came out and it has been a great watch for both dress and casual wear. I have been wanting to purchase another Tissot for a little while. Maybe this will be my next Tissot.
Amazing watch! Thanks for the review!
Thanks Jenni your video helped me to give this watch a glance. Love the white one will go for that
I went for a hamilton khaki pilot "Cooper" with a similar modded eta (80hr) movement.
Its beautiful, excited for the PRX in powermatic as well
Still astonished with this gracefull youtuber. Carry on, dont give up...!
Excellent review. I'm planning to buy one as soon as I can afford it ; I tried it in a shop and I think it can look really good with any clothes and style.
I don't like the bracelet, so I will go for a strap and I prefer the version with a cross on the dial.
Used to own two Rolex Datejust 41, white and blue. Bought two Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80, silver and blue. They are incredible value for the money. Looks awesome on the bracelet. Also, RIOS have some thick padded leather straps in 21 mm that works great on them.
This might be my next watch. i like it. it is simple but a beauty.
Getting a silicium ballade for my birthday next month, I haven’t been this excited since my ceramic hydro conquest.
Nice video as always, thank you.
Tissot - def one of the most underrated watch brands. Have a chrono that looks very expensive - was under $300.
Great video.
00:18 Buying substitutes for the timepiece you really want is always the most expensive option. You end up with the watch you really want eventually and all the place-holders you bought along the way. This is a great option if one is able to buy one watch and walk away. But then, that's not what watch enthusiasts do. Very handsome watch.
agreed, this is a good watch for non-watch people. I always advise save for the watch you want, not give in to instant gratification.
What's your point? I really want a fuck**g Ferrari Testarossa but I know I'll never afford it.
@@brianhsin678 Bullshit. I bought this watch because I fuck**g wanted it, not because I want to spend 10 years saving for a solid gold Rolex or Patek that I will regret buying for the rest of my life. Life is about keeping things in proportion - spending 'new car' money on a watch is simply insane, unless you are rich of course.
@@thetruth495 Why would you regret buying one? You can buy a gold Rolex president used for 10k that’s not that much money if you save for a couple years
@@GODOFLIQUOR Not everyone wants to save up for a watch. Some people would rather spend that money on literally anything else. Besides, once you move up past the 2k point, the finishing of most pieces won't increase dramatically. Most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this watch, the Monta Noble and a Rolex OP.
Thanks for this video. I appreciate the perspectives provided. I am impressed with the level of refinement and workmanship of this watch for its price point. I wished that you could have expanded the discussion by including the other versions of the Gentleman line such as the quartz and leather strap variants. In general, quartz watches largely are overlooked in favor of automatic movement versions. I am considering a quartz version of this watch which is half the price of the automatic version!!!!! At the quartz price point, this watch is a steal for the quality and craftsmanship. If you were to make a video about the best Swiss watch under $500, then the Gentleman in quartz would definitely be a contender.
Jenni... I bought 3 Tissot watches last year and the reason why is because I wanted something totally different and I’m very happy with them. My friends were surprised I did you don’t half to spend a lot of money on a watch there is a lot of brands out there that are reasonably priced and good looking .😉
wow I was just considering buying this one then your video came up!
Yes!! Thanks for the review I also think it looks better with a strap getting my also the courtier with red rubber straps on black dials like Mr.Wonderful 😎
Snapped up a Rado strap with mine and it’s great!
Goes into my work rotation
As a new subscriber, I have to say, I really enjoy your content. That’s a beautiful watch, and having an 8(ish)” wrist I think the size and bracelet would be fine for me. That said, based on my experience with 3 different Citizens (with 21mm lugs), a 22 mm band/strap will fit, if you wanted change it up.
I bought it tody, it’s magnificent…wooow I’m so happy,
Thank you genni for this informative review
I love this watch and it is on my list as the next Swiss watch to add to my collection.
I think this watch’s natural competition is from within Tissot itself.
I like the Ballade as well, with its COSC certification, but I prefer the blue dial and modest luminescence that are available on the Gentleman. As I understand it, the Powermatic 80 movement is pretty accurate without the chronometer rating, and the Oyster-style bracelet on the Gentleman would suit my needs just fine.
I think the Gentleman ticks the most boxes for me.
Nice, I'm already saving up for one of these myself :)
I’ve owned my Tissot Gentleman for about a month now. It’s been great. As she stated in the review, it’s very versatile. It’s a good looking, no frills, understatedly elegant watch, suitable for almost every occasion.
I wanna buy one too but couldn't decide between navy blue or black.What say u?
@@dandeliondandelion2484
I have the blue. I love it. I I feel like it’s a little more sportier than the black dial. It looks great outdoors in the sun.
Wow, looks much better than most of the static photos I've seen
I feel like static images don't do watches justice over all
It will, again, look different in real life.
It's crazy to see this thing in the metal. Flawless. Also very accurate, mine is +1.5sec/d out of the box.
❤❤❤i wore my prx in public yesterday-the coolest thing about this watch( attracted lots of attention )is that it has its own unique beauty !...doesnt look like a homage or a fake watch-i predict that these low prices of the prx line will skyrocket into the wonderful of vanity-and i am a proud owner of the quartz no worries excellance-a watch u can quickly grab and go out without the hassle of setting the time or adjusting-this watch will transform the efficiency of wearing an attractive lightweight thin timepiece !!
Great video. Great watch. Cheers Jenni
Own it, love it. On a dark brown leather strap, the silver and rich blue pops. Easily a top contender for the best sub $1000 dress/everyday watch. Great vid! 😎👍🏼
Which strap did you buy?
I worked with the Chairman of Coutts Bank in the late 90's/early 2000's. A total gentleman...and he wore a Tissot.
Tissot makes a nice watch for the money. It has swiss heritage and there dials are pretty nice I say it's a keeper. Nice job as always!!
Tissot makes a decent watch. I have the Seastar & Visodate (Jimmy Stewart used to wear one). As usual, good video.
I’ve got the Gent with black dial crosshairs, it’s a simple beauty, keeps fantastic time and looks even better on the faux leather clasp bracelet
Loved the presentation and subbed. I'm curious, when it comes to style. The blue screen would probably fit blue or grey clothing. What would be the most "passive' color screen, one that would fit any type of clothes you wear. White or black screen?
Awesome video, thank you! This is going to be my graduation gift watch. Until when will the code for teddy's shop be working?
Hi Jenni,
I think you're spot on with this video. I have been so close to pulling the trigger many times. As you say, it's a great value watch, however, it will probably not satisfy the demand for an Omega Aqua Terra, Rolex Oyster and so forth. I am currently waiting for the right Omega Aqua Terra opportunity
It’s tastefully done elegant and I would buy one but I have the Tissot seastar in blue dial 43 mm powermatic 80 already I’m loving it
I like the Powermatic 80, great movement.
Great review thank you.
I bought a used Oris under a grand and love it!
That watch really looks quite elegant. Had a similar one from CASIO which was quartz but was a tad too sporty. This one is quite elegant but versatile.
