Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Watch - 40mm - Stainless Steel Bracelet

Powermatic 80 refers to the watch's automatic mechanical movement, which provides an impressive 80 hours of power reserve. This means the watch can run for over three days without being worn or manually wound, once fully wound.

No, the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is an automatic mechanical watch. It is powered by the natural motion of your wrist and does not require a battery.

Yes, with 100 meters (10 ATM) of water resistance, the watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.

For continuous operation, it's recommended to wear the watch for at least 8-12 hours a day. If you don't wear it regularly, you can manually wind it using the crown to maintain the power reserve.

The watch features quick release strap pins on its integrated stainless steel bracelet. This allows for easy, tool-free removal and attachment of other compatible Tissot PRX straps (sold separately) to customize your watch's look.

Sapphire crystal is a highly durable and scratch-resistant material used for the watch's crystal (the clear covering over the dial). It's much harder than mineral glass, offering superior protection against scratches from daily wear.

You can clean your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a soft brush with mild soapy water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with fresh water and complete drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.

As an automatic watch, it needs motion to generate power. If it has stopped, manually wind the crown 20-30 times clockwise to build up an initial power reserve. Ensure you wear the watch regularly (at least 8-12 hours a day) for consistent power.

First, ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. If the date changes at noon instead of midnight, you've set the watch 12 hours out of sync. Advance the time by 12 hours. Remember to avoid setting the date manually between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent movement damage.

This often indicates a compromise in the watch's water resistance seal. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center for inspection to prevent further damage to the movement from moisture.

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This typically requires specialized tools and is best done by a professional jeweler or an authorized service center to ensure proper fit and prevent scratching.

A slight whirring or rattling sound from the rotor (the oscillating weight that winds the watch) is normal for automatic movements. However, if the sound is excessively loud or unusual, it might indicate a loose component and warrants inspection by a watchmaker.
