Another month, another PRX. This time, the new, wee guy, the 35mm. I have been waiting patiently for stock to arrive as I had pre-ordered this one with Vincent. After the initial shock, I am enjoying the smaller watch's more elegant proportions, and that wrist roll is even better thna the 40. Which one will be the keeper? Ask Tina! Cheers, Jody
The 35mm version manages something a lot of watch designs forget about these days, that they can be masculine AND elegant at the same time. Elegance in this industry seems to be something that is falling by the wayside, and it's good to see a watch that shows us it can still be done!
Yes! You can wear the 35 with a sportcoat or a polo and look classy.
The Citizen watches available in the USA (as opposed to Japan) are mostly ugly. Seiko isn’t much better.
Well, if everyone "screams", can you do much except for screaming to be heard? Feels like everything is going this way, big logos and extreme colors. I appreciate elegant watches too, but they soon might be history :/ Just look at G-shocks and all the watches that celebrities own.
Psssssh that’s a girls watch. 😂😂😂
yeah if youre a girl
In high school, I had a Swatch Albatros GX700. I recently bought a new old stock replacement for nostalgia's sake. The 34mm case felt SO SMALL at first! I struggled to remind myself it didn't feel unusually small back in 1988. Once it's on for a few hours, it feels fine, and it's opened me up to smaller watches. VERY tempted by this 35mm PRX; I think I'd buy it before the 40.
Morning Jody, you are pumping them out this week! Glad I'm still at home catching them as they come in!
I love the 35mm! Waiting to see if they release an auto version…but what I really would love is a manual version, keep it thin!
I'd definitely go for a manual in 35mm
@@blackpig52 So would I!
Tissot are releasing a blingy gold bezel version with diamonds towards the end of this year. 2023 will see the remaining dial colours on their way to an A.D. near you. Check out Teddy Baldessare's most recent video where he visits the head office of Tissot and speaks with the CEO about some of their soon to be released offerings.
I´d love to get a 35 mm Automatic with the Tiffany Blue dial. I guess I have to wait and hope they will release it
This comment aged like wine
These are great watches from Tissot, I have the 40mm blue dial with quartz. My collection has a mix of sizes and movement type but quartzis great for pick up and go.
Great review again, thanks Jody.
38mm would probably have been the crowd pleaser. I tried the 40mm and it was just a fraction large for me. The Sarb033 has always been perfect at 38mm.
No I think 35mm was the correct decision, don’t forget that the lug to lug measurement here is actually larger than the spec sheet lists due to the integrated bracelet
I’m the proud owner of both the SARB033 and Tissot PRX 35mm. I honestly enjoy them both. They’re sort very different watches and wear differently so I’m ok with the size differences between the two.
I was actually wearing a sarb033 while reading your comment 🙂
Went with the 40 I have a relatively small wrist I think it looks great
@@drewhil23 may i know your wrist size?
Really appreciate a size comparison video like this! Especially because I also have a 7in wrist. You’re the best. Think I might be bolder than usual and get the gold 40.
I bought the 35mm with green dial just on a month ago Jody. Stunning watch & like yourself I have plenty of smaller (30+mm) sized watches & this just sits right on my 17.5cm wrist. 👍🏻
this is the best comparison of the 2 sizes I have seen, bravo
Just bought an Alpha 36mm explorer and loving it!Also have a 7 in wrist and have some vintage dress watches at 33-34 mm,have also a Seiko Arnie and two Panerais at 47mm.It's a matter of personal taste.Always enjoy your videos
Another great review Jody. Tissot are knocking it out of the park with the PRX at the moment
The 35mm looks pretty much perfect in those 'pocket shots' toward the end.
I’ve got that exact one in 35mm. I love it. A definite keeper for me and my 17.5cm wrist. 😊👌
Always tackling the real issues of the day. Thanks JOMW!
👍👍😂🍻
This helps me out so much!!! I have a 7.5 inch wrist but like smaller watches. Was debating between the 2 but knowing that the 35 wont even fit my wrist makes the decision even easier 😅. Thank you!!!!!
I bought the same version of the 35mm PRX. I absolutely love it and definitely prefer it to the 40mm version. 👍🏼
I just got my 35mm Blue today; I was worried it might be too small, but it is a charming watch in this size.
I got the gold tone 35mm and it’s the perfect size for my wrist, along with a rad, ostentatious, retro vibe that I can’t get enough of 😁
I wear it non-stop.
The 40 was a bit too big for my smaller wrist. Something about the way the case kind of extends beyond the lug to lug because of the integrated bracelet design, I’d guess. Felt like a dinner plate on the wrist for me.
The 35 is perfection.
35mm Gold, this is the way.
Yes, I’m waiting to get that as well. My wrist size is 16cm and I reckon the 35 will look similar to what the 40 looks on Jody’s wrist, which is on the sportier side of the spectrum that I prefer
Yes, a gold 35mm would be a good choice. Congrats 👍👍
Normally I would go for a 40 over 35 every time......except this one! The 40 wears HUGE so the 35 it is!
Nice to see the size comparisons.
I purchased both the 35 and 40mm (in green) and the 40 was a bit clumsy on my 175mm wrist so I returned it.
Happy after a month with the retro-vibing quartz 35mm and love the way it tucks under my cuff. No interest in the automatic.
37.5mm with a waffle dial would be tempting though and I wouldnt mind slightly fatter indices.
Just bought the 35mm white for grandsons graduation .hope he likes it..thanks for the great review. Great quality video!
Nice review. Cheers Jody
Fab review, Jody. I have smallish wrists, so the 40 was always going to be touch-and-go. Yesterday I visited my local jeweller and tried both the 40 and 35 on. The clear winner was the emerald green 35mm. Stunning wee watch, but I will need to wait for a few more $$$ to find their way into my 'special' fund. The dial is a little smaller than I would like, but overall the 35 wears larger due to the integrated bracelet. For you the choice is not so clear cut, good luck deciding (my money's on the 35!)
Thank you mate! I’m just about to buy one and I was thinking about buying either the 35 or the 40mm one.
I have the 35 mm silver dial. And I absolutely love it. Awesome ❤️
Jody, I have the same size wrist but for me it is the 40mm all day, every day. It wears beautifully flat and wraps the wrist perfectly.
Very happy with my 35 on my 6.5 wrist. Jody, a video on affordable integrated bracelet options would be great!
I'd understand if you played catch and released with both. I feel the integrated design needs the dial to not dominate too much or as much of the space on the wrist as we're used too with say our divers etc. The 35 is a fraction on the small side but I can see how the sub 6.5in wrist club are making it work well. Bring on the 37.5mm!
The 40 looks great on your wrist too !! Just got the ice blue. I'd pick up a 35 if they had same waffle dials. Thanks 🙏
I'm happy I was patient; I love my full gold 35mm, it really is a bargain!
Thanks Jody! I made my mind. I'll get this one. I got the 40mm auto and it was just too bulky for me also i have my doubts about the reliability of the powermatic 80. I still like the waffle dial better tho.
This is so comprehensive. Thanks
I think 34mm, 38mm and 40 for the Chrono would have been perfect. The forty has lug to lug of 51mm which is pretty big for an average wrist. I own the 40 with a 6.8 in wrist and its a bit big
Hey Jody! Great vid, and gotta love the prx! I had one question. Would you consider reviewing the tissot luxury powermatic 80 (anthracit - 300 on jomashop)? I believe it could be a great automatic for around the same price as the quartz prx!
Thanks
Great vid!!!
Excellent review Jody. I have passed by the 40mm several times in the jeweler's case but never tried it on. Don't know why I havent as it is an intriguing piece but there's something that just doesn't connect with me. Haven't seen the 35mm in person yet but curious to get a first hand look at it.
My vintage Hamilton Field watch is about the size of a Quarter .25 cent piece. I love it . Lots of vintage watches are small they fit nice under shirt cuff are are often gold.
Great job Jody! How about a comparison of the Tissot to the Q Timex GMT? Which is better for the price?
I have the 35mm with the green dial. I absolutely love it. I had the 40mm and just found it touch to big. It fits a dream and I feel it wears a little bigger than 35mm 😊
@@bambambaby5289 Hi I find it adapts to the light really well. In the sunshine it isn’t to bright. I would certainly try and get to see one in the flesh and you will understand what it mean 😊
I have a very small wrist and I just bought the 40mm in green dial, doesn't really look so big on my wrist I think it depends on your style :) I am loving the watch every minute
I was set in the gold but that silver combo is stunning.
Thanks for the great comparisson!
I just have one question for you.
I've been having my eye on the prx for a long time, awaiting the 35mm version die to my small wrist size.
After having some Nice mid-tear microbrands, I was looking forward to getting a genuine Swiss made, macro brand in the collection.
Thé thing is, i'm a sucker for the smooth sweep of automatics, certainly inowing that it's a lottery to get a quartz version that hits the markers (can't cope 😅)
So... My question is... How does the automatic San Martin version compare in terms of Quality to the prx? Automatic version, samen design language at thé same pricepoint.
San Martin has come so far in terms of finish and overall Quality so the summer sale has really got me in doubt.
Thanks!
The Thunderdome reference was hilarious!
Deffo buying the green 40 auto, but I already have a vintage Lorus thats almost identical to the 35ml Tissot right down to the hands and indicies. As a seven inch wrist 35 does wear small on me, I put up with vintage being small but I prefer the 40 for sure.
Just not my wheelhouse, in any dimension. I used to have a thing for the Oris Aquis, but the integrated put me right off over time. I'm glad it makes others happy, though!
Just ordered my gold prx 35mm, Amazon had one for $285! 😜 Be here Sunday!
Great video, as per usual Jody! Personally, i think the 40mm suits you better. Also, might I suggest doing more of these size comparison vids? For example, with the Cartier Santos Models - Medium vs Large vs ADLC (the ADLC is the same size as the large, but because it's dark, it wears significantly smaller). Thanks!!
It’s obvious what to do Jody, keep them both and have his and hers for you and Mrs JOMW, that way you keep them both ;)
I've seen the 35 mm version at my AD recently and I think I prefer it vs the 40 mm. Anyway in the next future the PRX will join my collection, even though I still have to decide the color. But it will be a quartz in 35 mm. Very nice watch.
The Emerald green is amazing if you haven't seen it up close.
@@grahamyoung622 that's the one I would probably go for. 😉
Fabulous Tee!
… that 70’s vibe bracelet is very sweet ! Nice price/quality ratio too ! 👍🏻
I already have the larger PRX automatic blue dial and have no issues on my 7" spindle. I do however like the idea of a smaller 36 being a tad more discreet and of course lighter. I have a couple of 36mm watches so this downscale (or original scale if you look to the original release) is one that I'll take a look at and yes it'll probably be the quartz version. I still want to try the chrono 42mm when I have the time. I guess I just love this style of watch.
The shirt is awesome!
I like the quartz movement but with the dial face pattern of the Automatic. I called it the belgian waffle pattern.
40mm is more suitable for my wrist but I'm sure many will look good with the 35mm version. I had the Quartz PRX, it drove my OCD to unacceptable levels as the seconds hand hit 2 markers out of 12. Very shoddy quality control from Tissot. Couldn't wait to get rid of it, happy I sold it for just about $10 less than I paid.
The 35 looks a lot better on your wrist, Jody, which is essentially the same size as mine. We are not dockworkers, which comes with other drawbacks … but not when it involves elegant watches. And regarding quartz, it doesn’t bother me at all. This watch hearkens back to the Lord Quartz and Silver Wave from Seiko’s back catalog. (Okay the King Quartz too, but I don’t have one of those … yet.) Nice video.
I think these quartz model make a great his/hers set. Very few watches anymore have a mens/womens in the some color scheme and design. I may just do this for my wife and I to celebrate our first child due this fall!
Feel like it’s one of those where the 40 is a bit big and the 35 is a bit small. Damn those millimetres! 😅
Like your review! Interested to learn your opinion on the size of watch hands; I feel they are just too big for this watch. What is your thought?
I prefer the compact dimension of the 35mm. I’m a sucker for 35-37mm watches, and this one is really tempting!
On your wrist I think the 35mm looks great 👍 thanks Jody good video
The 35 looks good on you Brother fantastic, woah I love it simple but elegant at the same time very impressive sporty...is winner for me I have..Loreir Falcon and remind of this particular piece...great choice 👊👍..
Beautiful watch ive seen the powermatic in maycys and it was like 600$ and i saw the 35mm for 300 just now, im a automatic person i can never go back to quartz..is the watch super light to the point u can't feel that your wearing a watch or does it have alil weight to it?
This is a really good review and comparison. Both the 40 and 35 looks great on wrist.
Keep in mind that we have been getting accustomed to wear bigger watches for many years now.
Watches were smaller back in the days, and in my opinion the 35mm is of correct size.
I’m impressed with the mozzi that landed on Jody’s thumb about a third of the way through lol
Nice shirt! Lovely Leia
Very nice review..
Jody which one did you decide to keep and why?
Would be the 35mm for me looks fantastic, once you wear a smaller watch it’s hard to go back. The size difference reminds me of when looking at the 36mm black bay and the dealer came in with the 41mm and it looked like a dinner plate
My vote is the 35 -- looks way better when it is below the wrist bone in the comparison shots. 👍
Agree 100%
A quartz chronograph would be fantastic!
Always loved these. Sounds a bit like Goldilocks, a 38 would have been just right (like the Seiko 5). Ps tried on the 40mm but wasn't happy with the fit on 6.5/"
Formex Essence 39 might be your jam. It’s mine.
Agree 38mm would be perfect. I also have a 6.5" flat wrist and went with the 40mm.
Dear Jody,
Thank you very much for the mention and support 🙏
An amazing Detail review as usual.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for looking after me Vincent!
I thought out of the gate I would strongly prefer the 35mm, but it looks jarringly small on your wrist in the video. Based on your comparison, I'm favoring the 40mm at this point, although I'd love a slightly smaller 38 or 37.5mm too.
Definitely need to try them on in person.
I think the smaller watch looked better in his shots. The 40 covers the entire top of his wrist but the 35 is a hair small. I'd rather have a smaller retro styled watch than a large one - it's more retro. My 40mm PRX fits my 7.25 inch wrist but only just. If my wrist were to shrink anymore I would downsize to the 35.
So, which one did you end up keeping?
I ordered mine on April 30th and received it today.(ice blue dial) I powered it up and waited 30 minutes put it on my timegrapher and was amazed to find that it was - 20 seconds with a beat error of 2.4 ms in multiple positions. And I noticed that it is not able to be regulated. Literature I have read tells me that it was supposed to be "laser" regulated at the factory... I don't know what kind of laser they use but somebody screwed up
Brought home the 40mm green Powermatic a few weeks ago. Wife said she wants one, so I guess the 35 may be the answer for her! Great vid and thanks for sharing!
I have the 40 mm green dial and I have a small wrist but it fits perfectly its nice
I noticed... that the second hand (on both) was in perfect registration to the markers - not way off in the middle. That says a lot about QC, to me.
Great review let us know what you ended up wearing, I have a small wrist but the 40 looked so good went with that. The 35 seemed too feminine and I didn't want to wait for the 35mm 80
@JustOneMoreWatch Hi Jodi, I have recently bought myself (within a week), the 33mm Tissot PRX, blue dial variant & on the bracelet, which hasn't left my wrist since walking out of the AD. I love this watch, also thinking of purchasing a new interchangeable leather strap to go with this watch. Great video as always.
35 mm is very clean looking. And the 40mm seems slightly too large in comparison. The 35mm fit does remind me of the Casio A159 which I own and love. Clean and elegant are perfect words.
Got the 35mm in blue. Cracking little watch
Can they fit the powermatic 80 in the 35 mm case? That would be great
I personally think the 35mm looks a bit small on your wrist, but that doesn't mean you can't wear and enjoy it, obviously. Although the 40mm wears perfectly fine on my 18.4cm wrist, I can very much understand why some would want something smaller. a 37.5 or 38 would be great, but I would not hold my breath waiting for one. That 42mm chrono may be borderline even on my wrist, but I will have to see if I can find one in person to try on.
Jody, by my eyes from this video, the 40 mm definitely looks better on your wrist. But you are the one that needs to wear it obviously! BTW, I just purchased the 40 mm Powermatic in the new Green color dial and love it ( I have a 7 1/4 inch wrist).
I bought the 35 mm version with green dial just about a week ago and I'm so happy with it. I have a 6,5 inch wrist and it fits me great, the 40 mm was a bit too much for me. I really love to wear it loose, it's very light, comfortable and balanced on the wrist. I'm so happy Tissot went with this small size true to the original. At the begining, I thought that it might be too small, but it really isn't. Yeah, a 37 for would be ideal for many as well, but I'm happy with the 35, more than I expected. And it made me think - smaller watches with integrated bracelet are a pretty rare thing, there might be a nice niche gap in the market for some microbrands. A slim, hand-wound integrated style watch with interesting dial and about 36mm diameter... I'd take it ;-)
Great choice, Ludek! Enjoy your purchase.
I've only owned one cereal bowl watch and it went in the trash yesterday. If this is a "ladies"size I guess it's for those with hairy arms and dress hiking boots. Having several antique and vintage pocket /wrist watches,all small,I'm happy with 35mm. My grandmother's watch was a mechanical about 15mm.
Have you looked at the San Martin PRX hommage? Automatic movement and San Martin finishing for Quartz PRX money
I do love these - need to see them in the flesh to pick the 35 or the 40.
Keep both in the collection. You and Mrs. JOMW could wear them out together and be wristies.
The 35 looks great !
I don't need another watch, but the 35mm is such a cool watch. I am waiting to see if an auto makes it's way but that is such a nice watch.
I am holding off for a 35mm auto. Hopefully with a textured dial. There is an open spot in the box for one.
Awesome choice of color way! The 35mm is killer👌🏼 Very retro! Would like to see the waffle dial options on the smaller guys.
I am waiting for a powermatic without the waffle dial, there is no accounting for taste.
@@philspencelayh5464 This is true. I guess the waffle is perceived as a better feature and so reserved for the powermatics.
As someone who wears a 34mm Air King I am all about the 35mm. Dying for a green dial one.
I’ll have to give the 35 a try since I love wearing my 34mm Rolex Date; the 40mm lost me as I don’t see a reason I’d ever wear it over my Direnzo DRZ04. Great review as always Jody!
Laziness has crept in, manufacturers building bigger watches without giving you anything more. I am wearing an Accurist about 70years old, 34mm with a dial about 31mm and 8mm thick including domed acrylic (hand wind).
THANK YOU for doing this comparison --I was wondering when someone would! Now, I am torn between the two sizes and agree that somewhere around 38mm would be the Goldilocks (perfect) size.
Im having a hard time finding this dial version online, is it still available?
I think the 35 looks like it fits you better. That would be the choice for me also. I hope the trend toward massive watches is soon past.
Waiting patiently for the all gold 35 automatic.
