Watches: Citizen Eco-Drive, Tissot or Victorinox?
Looking for a new watch, and seem to have it narrowed down to three. Would love to spend $1000+ on a watch, but decided to keep it under $500.
I keep coming back to these - wondering if anyone has any experience with these specific watchmakers, or have any suggestions in my range. Thanks! Tissot PRS516: ![]() Victorinox ChronoClassic XLS: ![]() Citizen Eco-Drive World Chronograph: ![]() |

I've had a Tag Heuer for a decade. I've had 3 Citizen Eco-drives during that time as well. The Tag is still running strong and looks like the day I bought it. The Citizens are all dead and discarded.
I recommend saving some money and waiting until you can purchase a bracelet with a sapphire chrystal face. That's the most durable face out there and Citizen doesn't use it. |

The Tissot and the Victorinox have sapphire crystal faces, IIRC. |

Well - I'm not familiar with their movement but I feel strongly about the sapphire crystal. When a watch has that crystal, it protects as well as anything out there and resists scratches/breaks.

The wife just got me an Omega for my B-day, man it's nice.
Save up and go for a little bit nicer watch. If you like watches it is worth waiting. |

I collect and work on watches. Can't go wrong with an Omega Seamaster, although if 500 clams is your cutoff, you'll be looking at a used one. Get an automatic and not a battery powered quartz watch

I certainly don't want to spend $3k on a watch. |

Every ****ing machine you interact with has a clock on it.
Every one. Car, TV, Computer, etc. Just having a watch is ridiculously redundant...
