Tissot PRC 100 SolarvsVaer G2 Apocalypse GMT

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 praise the Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT's well-executed proportions and smooth GMT bezel action. One owner reports quality control issues such as misaligned hands and dust under the crystal, attributing these to the sub-$500 price point. The watch features a caller-style quartz movement for quick-set date adjustment and its lume is functional, though noted as a step below other models. Overall, owners find the Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT offers good value for its price, despite potential quality control concerns.
