My 35mm PRX just arrived ...
... and I will just say two things:
a) It truly reflects the watch design of the 80s. (My wife thought it was a Seiko at first.) Here compared to my SQ100 from the mid-80s.
b) It feels tiny to me by today's standards. Also, the butterfly clasp opens not very wide. If you have small wrists compared to your hands, you may be in trouble. I can just make it work.
Otherwise the 80s vibe is definitely there, and I suddenly feel like listening to some Bruce Springsteen. 😉 It's definitely a good-looking watch, and I will do a proper review in time.

Yes, it is the quartz version. Unless I'm mistaken, the 35mm automatic is not officially released yet. (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.) But yes, I wanted the quartz version, simply because it fits the style of watch better IMHO, and makes for a slimmer case.
I think it looks great on you 👌
The PRXs are just an awesome line.
Love the comparison!

I was previously considering the PRX in 40mm, and I think the design just doesn't work well with smaller wrists in that size. I really wanted the PRX back then, but I knew it was not for me. Then it came out in 35mm ...
I tried the 40 the other day and it doesn’t fit my wrist at all! Now in going to have to go a try on a 35mm... 🤣

Yeah, the case is very flat, and the first links are more or less locked in place at a 45 degree angle. Especially with the automatic (case height) I can see how that could have had some sort of seesaw effect on the wrist.
Congratz on the new watch! I read your review first b4 I read this post 😂
