This depends on your usage profile:
Quartz: very accurate, low maintenance, ideal for everyday use & “easy to wear”

Automatic: mechanical watchmaking, often more emotional, no battery change

If you expect maximum accuracy, quartz comes in handy. If you are passionate about mechanics, automatic is usually the right choice.

A typical lifespan is 2–4 years, depending on the model and features (e.g., chronograph). Models with energy-saving functions or solar technology may last longer.

A concise overview of the different collections:

PRX: iconic design, sporty-elegant, very versatile

Seastar: Diver look, robust, very sporty

T-Classic: Classic and elegant for business

T-Lady: feminine designs, often smaller cases

T-Touch: High-tech features (depending on the variant)

As a rule of thumb for the diameter of the casing:

35–38 mm: Often slim, unisex, ideal for narrower wrists

40–42 mm: very common all-round size

43 mm+sporty and present, e.g., in chronographs

It's best to use your wrist measurement as a guide and make sure the horns don't protrude.

“Waterproof” is used in bar/ATM specified:

3 bar: splash-proof (hand washing, rain)

5 bar: Showers are usually okay (follow manufacturer's instructions)

10 bar: Suitable for swimming

20 bar: Typical of a diver's watch, very robust

Important: Seals age – regular inspection is advisable.

Many Seastar models are suitable for swimming and, with higher ratings, also for water sports. The crucial factors are the bar/ATM water resistance rating and whether the crown/pushers are properly closed.

In a nutshell:

• PRX Quartz: uncomplicated, very precise, usually cheaper
• PRX Automatic (Powermatic): mechanical movement, often longer power reserve, "watchmaker's feel"
  
  Visually, they are similar – the decision is usually “practical vs. mechanical”.

Yes, automatic watches have a power reserve (which varies depending on the movement). As a general rule, the more modern the movement, the more convenient the power reserve.

Rinse the watch with clean water after contact with salt water/chlorine (if waterproof).

Avoid magnetic fields (e.g., powerful loudspeakers, induction loops)

Have seals checked regularly (especially if water is used)

Clean metal straps occasionally, keep leather straps dry

Yes, it is possible to change the strap on most models. Pay attention to lug width and model compatibility. With us you will find suitable options in the product details or in the accessories section.
