Tissot PRC 100 SolarvsVaer C5 Recon Field Solar

Owners and reviewers highlight the Tissot PRC 100 Solar's value and modern, urban aesthetic, with its slim 9.2mm case and good finishing for the price. The solar movement is a key feature, offering a 14-month power reserve and rapid charging capabilities. Some owners find the dial colors a bit uninspired, and the date window placement is disliked, while the second hand's ticking is noted as a drawback compared to automatic movements. The watch's 39mm case is considered versatile, though some prefer a smaller 35-37mm size. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PRC 100 Solar a versatile daily wear, particularly for its solar technology and Swiss-made appeal at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Vaer C5 Recon Field Solar for its robust build, bright C3 SuperLuminova lume, and solar charging capabilities, with one owner preferring its greater water resistance. Some owners report issues with hand alignment and second hand accuracy, though Vaer's customer service is noted for responsiveness with exchanges or refunds. One owner mentioned spring bar holes being close to the edge, a point of QC discussion. On balance, owners appreciate the Vaer C5 Recon Field Solar for its solar charging and robust build, despite occasional reports of minor alignment issues.
