Geckota Pioneer AutomaticvsTissot PR 100 Tour de France

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer Automatic for its retro-futuristic design, impressive lume, and unique dial finishing. The red dial variants are particularly favored for their brushed fumee appearance and vintage feel. Accuracy is noted as surprisingly good for an NH35 movement, though one owner reports +/- 20 seconds per day. The watch is considered a bargain by some at $259, while others find the $519 price for the NH35 movement in a 14mm thick case excessive. The 42mm cushion case is noted to wear large due to its lack of a prominent bezel. A minor phantom date position on the crown is reported, and the crystal is very reflective despite an anti-reflective coating. Some find the gold accents look a bit cheap, and one instance of a loose fleck of lume was observed. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer Automatic highly for its distinctive vintage aesthetic and value, particularly on sale.

Owners widely praise the Tissot PR 100 Tour de France for its sleek design, precise quartz movement, and durable build, with some appreciating the yellow accents and unique strap details. However, the bicycle on the seconds hand is frequently described as gimmicky, and some find the watch expensive for a quartz model. One owner reported a bracelet disintegration and intermittent stopping issues. Overall, owners rate the Tissot PR 100 Tour de France as a fun, stylish watch, with its unique design elements being a key draw despite some reservations about its value and specific components.
