Beaufort PulsatimervsTissot PR516

The Beaufort Pulsatimer is praised for its solid manual-wind Sellita SW510M BH b movement and remarkable value, with one reviewer noting a 63-hour power reserve. Its 39mm case features dynamic, layered finishes and piston-style pushers, blending vintage dressiness with a robust chronograph design. Some find the optional beads-of-rice bracelet too much for its aesthetic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Beaufort Pulsatimer highly for its unique design and strong value proposition.

The Tissot PR516 is widely praised for its vintage-inspired design, robust and well-finished case, and the value it offers. Owners and reviewers frequently highlight its crisp dials, heritage inspiration, and modern refinements like the Powermatic 80 movement. Some owners appreciate its size and jubilee bracelet, finding it comfortable and a good alternative to other models. However, several sources note a 14mm thickness that can feel noticeable, and the bracelet clasp is considered a weak point by one reviewer, being a folded steel design. The case design is described by some as unrefined or boring, lacking the appeal of the original 70s model, and one enthusiast finds the hands a dealbreaker. The fixed bezel on some variants is seen as a gimmick by some owners, and the orange subdial hand can be difficult to read. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PR516 highly for its strong vintage aesthetic and robust build quality at its price point.
