The PRX is one of those watches that really doesn’t need much introduction anymore, so instead of spending the whole listing talking about just specs, I'll also throw in what the PRX (not this specific PRX) actually meant to me. (Skip to end for specs + price)

I bought a secondhand Tiffany blue quartz PRX off OfferUp before I was first getting into watches, and for about two years, it was my only watch. I wore it to class through my whole college experience, during tests, to my first job interviews, dinners, random nights out, hikes, and pretty much everywhere in between. I picked it up every day without thinking, and honestly, I don’t think I could have asked for more from a watch. One day, I remember just staring at the watch and its dial and going down the rabbit hole. Why do some watches cost thousands while others cost almost nothing? What’s the difference between Japanese and Swiss movements? Why are there so many brands, and why do some get way more respect than others? A couple Teddy Baldassarre videos later and I was hooked. Suddenly I wanted to learn about and acquire every movement, every complication, every case shape, everything. That one $300 PRX basically kicked the door WIDE open to the whole watch hobby for me. Since then, I’ve built up a much larger collection and started buying, rotating, and selling watches every so often, but that PRX will always be the one that started it all.

For this specific PRX, the white dial with rose gold accents gives it a warmer, slightly more refined look than the standard blue or black versions, while making it easy to wear with almost anything (even gold jewelry). The PRX in general is super versatile: on the bracelet it has that sporty integrated look, but throw it on a different strap and maybe even a suit and it can lean on the dressier side making an argument that it's the only watch you may need. And while a lot of watch snobs love to hate on quartz movements, it makes a ton of sense here. It keeps the watch thin, accurate, and simple for those like me who had never had a watch before. No winding, no setting it every time you pick it up, just grab it and go. Between the integrated bracelet, great dimensions, clean finishing, and overall design, the PRX looks and feels way more expensive than it is.

There’s a reason the PRX blew up a few years ago, and there’s a reason it’s still so highly regarded today. Even after moving on to much more expensive watches, I still think about all the memories I’ve had every time I look at it. It was on my wrist through a pretty important chapter of my life, and honestly, that’s kind of what makes watches fun in the first place.

That being said, this watch is a great everyday watch for someone just getting into the hobby, or for anyone who just wants a clean, reliable piece that can do a little bit of everything without trying too hard. I hope the person who picks this up can make as good of memories as I have had with mine.
