What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Tissot PR 100

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.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
