Christopher Ward C63 ValourvsTissot PR 100

The Christopher Ward C63 Valour is praised for its beautiful, deep dial with 3D applied markers and indices, its great look, and its symmetry, with some calling it one of the best-looking and most affordable chronographs available. Reviewers note its Light-catcher case with flowing curves and contrasting brushed and polished finishes, and a matte black dial with applied numerals and sub-dials featuring differently colored hands. The watch is powered by a thermocompensated, chronometer-certified quartz movement, specifically the ETA G10.212 AD, which Christopher Ward claims offers accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per year, though some users question this, citing ETA's stated accuracy of +/- 73 seconds per year. Owners are split on the use of a quartz movement in a watch at this price point, with some preferring mechanical movements, while others defend quartz for its reliability, thinner profile, accuracy, and lower service costs.

Owners widely praise the Tissot PR 100 for its excellent value, with specific mentions of its sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance, and the 80-hour power reserve of its Powermatic 80 movement. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its pleasing winding action and strong lume. Accuracy figures for the Powermatic 80 COSC variants are reported as -2 seconds per day or +/- 1-2 seconds per day. Some owners note that the crystal attracts fingerprints and that the black finish on some bracelets can wear off after extended daily use. A single owner of a quartz model experienced a recurring issue where the watch stopped for periods weekly, which was not resolved by a battery replacement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PR 100 highly for its exceptional value and robust features, particularly its durable construction and reliable movements.
