Thread: Help me decide Tissot PRS 200 or Certina DS First *pics attached*?

My Seiko Alarm Chrono gave in a few months ago. It just stopped working all of a sudden. I was told that the movement in that series was faulty. I do not remember what it was. It was not under warranty. I bought the watch new, but barely used it since I preferred the Tissot TXL (below). A few days ago on my way to work I lost my Tissot TXL Chronograph . The clasp on the watch begun to get unfastened with the slightest pressure but I did not...

I have owned a couple of Tissot and I vote Tissot as well. Your comment about the 10 trips cracked me up, I feel ya.

Tissot for me as well. IMO it looks like a classier watch and cleaner dial. Chris

I\'d go for the Tissot! I got a prs200, never use it, but my girlfirend do. It\'s a good watch! But I think that you should buy the one you like best, I think their pretty similar in quality etc... or buy both! Good luck! /edw

I had a Certina DS First for almost 2 years before I gave it to my father. A very nice watch for the money, definately imo better finish etc. than on the Tissot...

The Certina DS First is awesome!

If I lost a watch because the clasp broke, I probably would NOT buy from that manufacturer again. But that\'s just me - I know how to hold a grudge.

I would go for the prs200 because i own one! ive had it for 9 years and i had the bracelet replace and the movement replaced once each and it was a everyday watch. My wife worked at a jewellry store and i had it sent out free! i beleive the movement replacement costs $200 dollars Canadian. so in total i spent $500 dollars not included taxes plus $200 plus $100 for the bracelette. Thats not to bad i think for 9 years. I still have the old...

I like the subdials on the Certina better, but neither choice is a bad one. Good luck! And I am sure that Victorinox makes a diver bezel chrono in this price range...
