Reviews

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

Astor + Banks Chrono

The Astor + Banks Chrono is praised for its sporty design and enthusiast-friendly price. One owner finds it looks better than a specific alternative, though another suggests other brands offer better value at higher price points. A reviewer notes the date numeral is consistently half in shadow due to deep-set placement. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Astor + Banks Chrono for its sporty design and accessible price point, despite a minor criticism regarding the date display.

Tissot PRC 200

The Tissot PRC 200 is praised for its elegant design and legible dials, with one owner noting the blue dial's depth is more impressive in person. Reviewers highlight its satisfyingly weighted pushers and comfortable wearability, especially with the rubber strap option, while some owners find it slightly heavy for a quartz watch. A common criticism is an inaccurate day function requiring weekly resets, though timekeeping is reported as very accurate. The watch features bright green lume on its hands and offers a genuine 200m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PRC 200 well for its accessible design and legibility at its price point.

From video reviewers

The dial's excellent legibility is a key strength. Reviewers disagree on the sub-dial design, with one finding it improves primary time readability and the other stating it hinders elapsed chronograph time reading.
