Looking good Mista!

Wow, a well-made PRX clone for a fraction of the Tissot' price? Finally!

Yes, very well made. I don't look at it as a PRX clone, since it's gas a different dial, indices, and hand style. I wrote a review that goes more in depth.

I really like it, but the powermatic is more precise and has a much longer power reserve.

Personally, I'd take a Miyota over Powermatic all day every day just because of the fact that Miyota's escapement is made out of metal and ruby jewels instead of cheap throwaway plastic (although I'd still prefer 9015 over 8215, it's a shame imo so few microbrands use it). And personally, I like this hands' and indices' style much more.

Thank you so much for this WRUW, now I know what whatch I should acquire for the summer!

I get that, it's funny because most watch buyers don't know that the longer lasting power reserves help them in their certification since the COSC'a certification is based on the performance measured in the first 24 hours.

A longer power reserve means the watch is performing in a more optimal way during those first 24 hours and there for passes the test more easily.

It's a win win for the watch brand since they can now sell you a more "accurate" watch and say you can take it off on Friday, put it on on Monday and it's working perfectly fine... Except it's no longer max 5 seconds a day accuracy, but off by several more.... 😅

But the Swiss aren't the only ones that do this: #grandseiko 😅

Also, the newest versions offer an NH-35 movement instead, but I've only seen those on the aliexpress official store.
