Hi all sifus, I want to get myself an entry affordable watch, and I came across Tissot PRX and Tissot PRX Powermatic 80, both look amazing to me, design wise.
From the official Tissot website, Tissot PRX is priced at RM 1,500 and the powermatic 80 one is priced at RM 2,800, both are quite affordable.

However, I have a small wrist, and I watched a few youtube videos about these watches, although the case is 40mm, the length between endlinks is roughly 52mm.
It seems to be too big for my wrist, hence I'm looking for alternatives.
My budget is RM 3,000, please suggest me similar alternatives with such designs. Thanks!

I do not have tool to measure my wrist size.

i think the prx will suit you nicely to be honest! ignoring the endlink length, its slim profile shouldnt be any issue seeing that you're wearing a 42mm apple watch.

Thanks for your input, too bad I cannot go to any authorised dealer to see it for myself.
Gotta look for alternatives if my wrist doesn't fit the PRX.

I really hope it won't be too big for my wrist, I came across this youtube video below

I'm afraid my small wrist will eventually end up like this when wearing the PRX / PRX Powermatic 80.
It's a really nice piece!

well, if so then ur apple watch measured that way is actually longer.
the case of the PRX is quite similar in size to the apple anyway.

anyway the official lug to lug is 44mm...
that video guy quite noob as it says lug to lug...but he's obviously measuring from where the first end link ends.

yea, agree, he's measuring between the endlinks.. hahaha
that's why I state in my post saying distance between end links is around 52mm biggrin.gif

I think the best way to tell whether will it be suitable is to put one on my wrist and see it with my own eyes.
At this moment, looking at the dimension numbers, it feels too big for my wrist..

any alternatives to this with smaller size? and of course similar price range biggrin.gif

No one measures end link to endink, because lug to lug is generally how large the watch sits on your wrist.

And tis definitely gonna be smaller than the Apple Watch. I think if you have the chance, just go to Tissot and put it on your wrist.

Should be able to fit nicely.

I see.. feel quite relief to hear this!
Gotta wait for EMCO to be lifted, and will go to an Authorised Dealer to try it out.
Thanks.

Yep, I also think it's always hard to gauge how a watch looks by just looking at pictures. Some sits big and some sits small depending as well on the bezel, dial, lug length etc...
