I previously owned the PRX Quartz 40mm black dial. For me overall, I enjoyed the design of the watch, but unfortunately, the case/bracelet integration was not wearable for me and I was never able to get a good fit, which is why I ended up letting it go.

Case

The case on the 40mm wears pretty large due to the integrated bracelet. With that and the case shape, it always felt bulky to me and never quite felt right on my wrist, so I wouldn't recommend the 40mm to anybody with below a 7 in wrist. The quartz movement made the case nice and slim, giving it a nice profile. The push-pull crown is small and can be difficult to operate.

Dial

The model I owned with the plain black dial looked fine, no frills. Some of the other colors like the sunburst blue look better. The writing is nicely spaced, and the hands are legible. The lume was ok, but not at the level of a dive watch.

Movement

I had no issues with the quartz movement. The seconds hand did not hit the markers perfectly. I owned the watch for two years and did not need a battery replacement.

Bracelet

The integrated bracelet is the biggest drawback of this watch to me. It feels cheap and does not have microadjustments on the butterfly clasp, making it very difficult to get the right fit on wrist. As mentioned above, the integration into the case makes the watch wear much bigger. Another point is that it is very difficult to adjust the bracelet by adding and removing links. It also scratches fairly easily when wearing daily.

Value

The PRX is decent bang for buck, getting "Swiss Made" and a design that evokes an Oysterquartz or Overseas at a fraction of the price. It will scratch the itch for some, and for others can work well as a daily watch you don't have to worry about wearing.
