Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the power reserve of this watch?

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 has an impressive 80-hour power reserve, meaning it can run for over three days without needing to be wound or worn.

What type of crystal is used on the dial?

It features a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. Sapphire is highly scratch-resistant, and the coating reduces glare for better visibility.

How do I set the time and date on the watch?

To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position and turn it. To set the date, pull the crown out to the first position and turn it. Always push the crown back in completely after adjusting.

Is this watch water-resistant?

Info needed: [The product description does not specify a water resistance rating. It is advisable to avoid exposure to water unless you can confirm the specific water resistance rating provided in the watch's official documentation or with an authorized dealer.]

What does 'Powermatic 80' mean?

'Powermatic 80' refers to the automatic mechanical movement inside the watch, known for its extended 80-hour power reserve, which is significantly longer than many standard automatic movements.

Can I see the watch's internal movement?

Yes, this model features a transparent caseback, allowing you to view the intricate Powermatic 80 automatic movement at work.

How should I clean the watch?

You can clean the watch with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running or stops frequently.

The Powermatic 80 movement is automatic. If not worn regularly, it will stop. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times to build up the power reserve. Ensure you wear it consistently for at least 8 hours a day, or consider a watch winder.

Date changes at noon instead of midnight.

This indicates the watch's 12-hour cycle is misaligned. Advance the time by 12 hours. Set the correct date, then advance the time until the date changes at midnight. Then set the precise time for your current time zone.

Difficulty reading time due to glare.

The watch features an anti-reflective coating on its sapphire crystal to minimize glare. If glare is still an issue, try adjusting your wrist angle slightly. Keep the crystal clean, as smudges can exacerbate glare.

Bracelet feels too tight or too loose.

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This typically requires a watchmaker or jeweler. Visit an authorized Tissot service center for proper adjustment to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Watch makes an unusual noise.

If you hear any grinding, rattling, or unfamiliar sounds, this could indicate an issue with the internal movement. Stop using the watch and take it to an authorized Tissot service center for inspection and repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 provides years of reliable service, proper setup and care are essential.

Initial Setup

Unboxing: Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Retain all original documents, including the warranty card.
Initial Winding: As an automatic watch, it may not be running upon arrival. Gently unscrew the crown (if applicable) or pull it out to the first or second position. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise about 30-40 times. This will build up enough power reserve to start the movement.
Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. For precise setting, synchronize with a reliable time source.
Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the first position. Turn the crown (usually counter-clockwise, but refer to specific instructions if provided) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the movement's date-change mechanism.
Secure the Crown: Once time and date are set, push the crown back in fully to ensure it is sealed.

Compatibility

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is a universally designed timepiece compatible with any wearer seeking a blend of classic style and modern mechanical performance. Its 40mm case size is a popular and versatile dimension, suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning: Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For the stainless steel case and bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring to dry thoroughly afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures (hot or cold), strong magnetic fields, and sudden impacts or shocks.
Water Exposure: Info needed: [Water resistance rating is not specified in the product description. Avoid exposure to water unless the watch's water resistance is confirmed and understood. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in if any water exposure is possible.]
Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing, typically every 3-5 years, to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.
Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A watch box or winder can be used to keep the automatic movement running if preferred.
