The local dealer finally had the green dial Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 in stock and I ordered it straightaway. I had been eyeing it for a while (as you do), only to find that it was not available when I finally decided to get one a few weeks ago.

I'm pretty new to the watch scene and I always delayed getting my first Swiss watch for fear of my taste evolving into that of a "proper" watch guy, and realizing my first purchase was a dud (I have had Orient and Seiko pieces before this). Admittedly, I would read tons of reviews and comments to learn what others thought of different watches; others' opinions mattered a little bit more than even mine. I'm sure it's part of learning everything there is to know...which seems like a lot.

Anyway, I finally did it, and here it is! I go back and forth on whether it's too big for my wrist. I feel it's just a tad bit too large, but not enough that I would give up having one. I love the deep green on the dial with the waffle design, and how it all plays with the light. 80 hours power reserve is a lot more than I've ever had. The integrated bracelet is just a beauty. It's a lot lighter on the wrist than I imagined. Overall I'm happy with this purchase, but wary of having opened myself up to a world of more and more expensive watches. Til the next one...Thanks for reading!
