P/S - Sorry for bumping thread.

I'm keeping my eyes on the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80, since after researching, it's within my budget and according to many reviews, it's one of the best if not the best watch anyone can get on the market for that price point. The build quality is top notch and what took my attraction is how beautiful the blue dial and overall design is, that and it's an automatic movement.

I got one question though, it seems like the watch case and the metal strap is match in heaven, but there is also a leather strap that is made for it, is choosing the strap just pure preference or which is better ?

Because it's an integrated bracelet, you would need to get a custom made strap if you want to go down the leather route.

But Tissot's official website have the PRX Powermatic 80 model with a leather strap, isn't that the official leather strap that Tissot launched back then ?

Oh apologies I misread your message haha.

The typical thinking for watches is always get the bracelet if your budget permits, then you can get an additional leather strap should you wish to.

That is because if you get the leather now, and later you want to get the bracelet, it will cost a lot more.

Plus, for leather, if you want one later, it can be customised if you feel the official option isn't to your liking, but for bracelet the option will be limited.

I see, ok got it. I will get the one that comes with bracelet and then buy an additional leather strap. I still really prefer the overall look and feel of the leather strap.

By the way, why is it called a bracelet and not a metal /stainless steel strap ?

It's interchangeable, but because bracelet is almost exclusively refering to steel, while strap is more associated with leather, people use it for clarity.
