FAQs

What does 'Powermatic 80' mean?

Powermatic 80 refers to the automatic mechanical movement inside the watch, which boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve. This means the watch can run for 80 hours (over three days) after being fully wound, even if not worn.

Is the watch truly waterproof?

The watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling, but it is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water sports where deeper pressures might be encountered.

How do I care for the sapphire crystal?

The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, but not entirely scratch-proof. To maintain its clarity, avoid direct contact with extremely hard materials like diamonds. Clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth.

Can I change the bracelet to a leather strap?

The Tissot PRX series features an integrated bracelet design, meaning the bracelet is specifically fitted to the case. While some third-party strap options may exist, it generally limits the ability to easily swap to standard leather or other straps.

How often should I have my automatic watch serviced?

Mechanical watches, like the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80, typically benefit from professional servicing every 3 to 5 years. This involves cleaning, lubricating, and checking the movement's components to ensure long-term accuracy and performance. Info needed: [Refer to Tissot's official warranty and service guidelines for precise recommendations.]

Does the green dial fade over time?

The 'Clous de Paris' green dial is designed to be durable and color-fast. Under normal conditions and with proper care, the dial color should not fade significantly. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals should be avoided.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running or loses time.

The Powermatic 80 has an 80-hour power reserve. If it has been unworn for longer than this, it will stop. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown in its closed position approximately 30-40 times. If the issue persists, ensure it's not exposed to strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.

Date is not changing at midnight.

Ensure the watch's internal time is correctly set to AM/PM. If you set the date or time between 9 PM and 3 AM, it can interfere with the date change mechanism. Try advancing the time past 3 AM before setting the date.

Moisture or fog appears under the sapphire crystal.

This indicates a potential breach in the water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as internal damage can occur.

Bracelet feels too loose or too tight.

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional watchmaker or an authorized Tissot dealer to avoid scratching the bracelet or case.

Watch makes an unusual noise.

Unusual clicking, grinding, or rattling sounds can indicate an internal issue with the movement. Stop wearing the watch and contact an authorized service center for inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Unboxing & First Wind: Upon receiving your watch, it may not be running. Gently pull the crown out to the first position to set the date, or the second position to set the time.
Manual Winding: To initiate the power reserve, manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise in its closed position approximately 30-40 times. You will feel a slight resistance, but do not force it. This builds up the 80-hour power reserve.
Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the second position (farthest from the case). Turn the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you set the AM/PM correctly; the date will change around midnight.
Setting the Date: Push the crown back to the first position. Turn the crown to adjust the date. *Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM*, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could cause damage.
Secure the Crown: Once time and date are set, push the crown firmly back into its closed position to ensure water resistance.

Compatibility

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 with its slim 40mm stainless steel case and integrated bracelet is designed for versatile compatibility:

Everyday Wear: Its robust build and 100m water resistance make it ideal for daily use, from office to casual outings.
Professional Settings: The refined 70s-inspired design and distinct dial make it suitable for business and formal occasions.
Active Lifestyle: While not a dedicated sports watch, its durability and water resistance accommodate light sports and outdoor activities.

Product Care & Maintenance

Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring the crown is fully pushed in.
Water Resistance: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
Avoid Chemicals: Keep the watch away from harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can damage the gaskets, case, or bracelet finish.
Magnetic Fields: Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices), as this can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
Temperature: Protect the watch from extreme temperatures and sudden temperature changes, which can impact its performance.
Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing, typically every 3-5 years, to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Info needed: [Consult Tissot's official service recommendations]
