Tissot PRC 200

[daveyb662]

Another thread regarding the popular Tissot...

I am looking to get something that looks good and is functional hence am drawn towards the Tissot.

I have seen in Ernest Jones for 270. But online I believe can be had cheaper. Theonlinewatchsop seem to have for 200. Are they genuine? And what about warranty?

I have read that the watch can be had for much less than 270. Anywhere else I should be looking online?

I have budget of around 500-600 is there something else that you people would recommend instead? I have also seen the automatic Tissot for 410. But not sure if worth the extra...

Any other brands worth considering...want something expensive looking rather than looking like your regular Armani. And want it to be comfortable!

Thanks.

Really look forward to some advice as I am clearly confused at the moment.

Hi Davey,

Last year was really close to getting a PRC 200 - I had about £400 of Goldsmiths vouchers to spend thanks to Tesco Clubcard points, so I was pretty much stuck with Goldsmiths...

...anyway, I ended up getting this --> Victorinox, which I really like, it replaced my Omega SMP, and I've been really happy with it for the last year - it's been a daily wear and looks fantastic considering.

Just my 2p, CH

I didn't want something too bulky, prefer slimline, am considering CW now! But so hard to know without seeing them!!

There's a nice CW in the Classifieds on here (cough )

I like my Tissot PRS200, (same movement as PRC) but more divers style. It looks reasonably expensive, and I wear it it when I need to be 100% certain the time is correct (usually when travelling by train). The rest of the time I wear autos.

I am a fan of Tissot, they seem good value for money. At £500 though I would also look at Steinhart and the Tissot Visiodate

I have tried visodate today, seems more comfortable, less bulky than pcr200, but still want to try a CW to see what they are like! may have to buy it to try it, this is what they advise, as they have no retail outlets. will look into steinhart...thanks
