Lorier MerlinvsTissot PR 100 Sport Chic

Owners widely praise the Lorier Merlin for its vintage-inspired 37mm case, heat-blued hands, raised numerals, and hesalite crystal. The watch is noted for its comfortable wear, with some finding it wears large despite its size and even thinner on a two-piece strap. Drilled lug holes and a locking bezel are also appreciated features. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting +8 seconds per day, while others do not specify. Some owners find the dual-crown design unappealing or the case chunky, with the 37mm size feeling small for a dive bezel watch, though others find it perfect for smaller wrists. The supplied strap and its hardware are considered cheap by one owner, and the bezel action is described as light and hollow. A desire for a sapphire crystal option at the price point is mentioned by some, while others prefer the hesalite for its vintage look. On balance, owners and the community rate the Lorier Merlin highly for its authentic vintage aesthetic and comfortable wear.

Owners widely praise the Tissot PR 100 Sport Chic for its robust build, 100m water resistance, and sapphire crystal, with one owner highlighting the 36mm size and mother-of-pearl dial as appealing. The ETA quartz movement is considered trustworthy, and the watch is seen as a versatile option for everyday wear. However, some find the quartz movement less engaging, and one owner expressed concern about the durability of rose gold PVD coating over time. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PR 100 Sport Chic a solid, value-driven quartz watch suitable for casual and sports wear.
