Tissot PRX Misaligned Seconds Hand is FIXED! How To Remove It / What Does It Look Like?

The Tissot PRX took the watch world by storm when it was first released back in February and it was set to be THE sub $500 watch of 2021, offering Genta design and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus wrist presence. When I reviewed it I absolutely loved it and I was taken aback by the amount of value it offered for $375. However, one of the biggest problems about the watch was that the seconds hand was misaligned. To make matters worse, it looked like it was a widespread issue amongst most PRXs.

However, someone commented on my first video that if they had bought the quartz PRX, they would remove the second hand. This made me think and I finally decided to remove the seconds hand myself!

In this video, I will take you through the tools needed to remove the seconds hand, how to use a hand removal tool, and finally how to actually remove the seconds hand so that you can fix this issue at home too! I will also go over what I think about the change and how it has affected the overall feel of the watch. Finally we will be taking a look at what it looks like in real life!
