Here's How I Chose The Watch That I Wore To My Wedding
Some people dream of the dress they'll wear on their wedding day. But unlike most, I've long fantasized about the watch I'd wear as I walk down the aisle. Truth be told, I wasn't exactly sure what it would be until recently — I just knew I wanted a classic-looking timepiece from a respected brand in the watch world. Enter: the Tissot PRX 40-millimeter analog wristwatch. This retro-inspired timepiece features Swiss quartz movement and a 316L stainless steel case, offering both style and durability. The PRX pays homage to Tissot's iconic line of men's watches from the 1970s, echoing the signature tonneau (barrel-shaped) case design from 1978. That's the beauty of Tissot. With a legacy dating back to 1853, the brand has long been respected as a gateway into the world of refined timepieces. Many watch enthusiasts consider Tissot the ideal starting point for collectors looking to elevate their collection without breaking the bank. And with most models priced under $1,000, I'd have to agree. Tissot strikes a balance between timeless design, reliable Swiss movement, and top-notch craftsmanship. It's fair to call Tissot the king of entry-level luxury watch brands — and, in my opinion, the PRX watch model is their crown jewel. The PRX's case measures 40 millimeters in diameter, and is only 10 millimeters thick, giving it a sleek, low-profile silhouette that wears a bit smaller on the wrist — closer to a 38 millimeters in feel. I think it's a great fit for most wrist sizes, but it is available in multiple sizes depending on your preference The version I chose, which has 4.5 stars on Amazon, features a minimal design with a sleek black dial set behind luminescent number markers, as well as lume hour and minute hands. There's also a simple date window. All of this is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that's strong enough to withstand your common daily use. Now, this isn't a dive watch, so don't plan on taking it scuba diving. But it is water-resistant up to 100 meters, which makes it more than suitable for swimming or getting caught in the rain. That said, just as a general precaution, I still prefer to take it off before hopping in the shower or pool. With a price point of $415, the Tissot PRX feels like a steal for the quality and style it delivers. And all things considered, it made saying 'I do' to this watch an easy decision. Ahead, see what some reviewers had to say. Get it from Amazon for $415.

Paper Rex's Valorant World Cup hopes end in semi-final defeat
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian star Ahmad Khalish Rusyaidee "d4v41" Nordin saw his hopes of reaching a second straight international final with Paper Rex (PRX) dashed after a 2-1 defeat to Fnatic in the Valorant semi-finals at the eSports World Cup in Riyadh on Saturday. The highly anticipated clash at the Esports Arena, Boulevard Riyadh City, featured two unbeaten teams reigniting their fierce rivalry following PRX's triumph over Fnatic in last month's Masters Grand Final in Toronto — a historic first international title for the team. This time, however, it was Fnatic's turn to take revenge. PRX started strong, claiming their map pick Sunset 13-10. But Fnatic bounced back in emphatic fashion on Ascent, crushing PRX 13-3 to level the series. With momentum firmly on their side, Fnatic raced to a 9-3 halftime lead in the decider, Split. Though PRX rallied late to close the gap to 10-8, Fnatic held their nerve to finish the match 13-8 and seal their place in the final. Despite the loss, Khalish and his teammates still have a chance to finish on the podium. PRX will take on either Gen.G (South Korea) or Team Heretics (Spain) in the third-place playoff on Sunday.

'I didn't plan to cry, but the tears just came out'
KUALA LUMPUR: The Kelantan-born Ahmad Khalish Rusyaidee "d4v41" Nordin and his Paper Rex (PRX) teammates emotionally won the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Masters Toronto title on Sunday. There were tears after PRX defeated European giants Fnatic 3-1 in the Grand Finals at the Enercare Centre in Toronto, Canada to claim their maiden international crown. Khalish's team also comprised Indonesian Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto, Singaporean Wang "Jinggg" Jing Jie, Russian Ilia "something" Petrov and Filipino Patrick "PatMen" Mendoza. The 26-year-old Khalish and his teammates took home US$350,000 (RM1.49 million) in prize money. Khalish ranked as the Singapore-based PRX team's second best performer with a 1.12 KDA. PRX, who had lost two Grand Finals previously — in the Masters Copenhagen in 2022 and Champions Los Angeles in 2023, went into the Toronto finals after a dominant upper bracket run in the playoffs. Fnatic, the Masters Tokyo 2023 champions and top seeds, however, posed a formidable challenge. PRX began with a 13-11 win on the map pick of Sunset, but Fnatic hit back with a narrow 17-15 win on their pick of Icebox. PRX then pulled ahead 2-1 with a 13-10 victory on their pick of Pearl before confirming the title with a 14-12 win in overtime on Fnatic's pick of Lotus. The PRX team became emotional after finally breaking their title drought. "This victory feels unreal, we've been working very hard for this," said Khalish in a post-match interview before breaking into tears. "This means everything. Winning an international trophy has always been the goal. We want to be champions, and this is just the beginning," he added after regaining his composure. "I'm really happy... I didn't plan to cry, but the tears just came out." PRX will next compete in the Esports World Cup (EWC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from July 8-13 which offers US$1.25 million in prize money. Meanwhile, there will be no Malaysian representation in PUBG Mobile at the EWC after Alliance (seventh) and SEM9 (12th) failed to finish in the top three at the Southeast Asia Summer PUBG Mobile Super League in Jakarta on Sunday.
