In response, I find next to the basic design and the fact that alternate on case and bracelet polished (shiny) and brushed (matt) surfaces. The polished surfaces predominate but significantly. On this clock, of course you can see every fingerprint. The only solution is to keep checking back to brush over it, even while the clock on the arm supported. But for the clock looks really class.
With measured 39.8 mm case diameter, the PRC 200 corresponds exactly my personal housing sizes flavor, not too chunky but still striking. The housing height of 12.4 mm fits well with the measured diameter.
Clock and bracelet are processed very high quality and would on this point safely withstand compare with more expensive watches.
Screw down crown, screw back, 200m water resistance, which is very neat.
The bracelet is not, as with many other watches in this price range, pressed from sheet metal but massively.
Even the two inner joint parts of the folding clasp are massive. Only the outer part of the folding clasp is designed as a punch press part part, but that's generally all metal bands of all brands and price ranges that.
Criticism for divers extension I find justified. It is my opinion unnecessary at this clock and reduce unnecessarily the setting. If the length fits the bracelet nonetheless puts supple around the arm. Overall, I feel the comfort as well.
In this price range bolted members expected would certainly be presumptuous, so the members are as well expected to be pinned with slotted pins.
Topping the list of priorities during watch purchase is for me, among other things, that all pointers in one line are actually exactly the same as the indexes and not somewhere between two strokes.
My PRC 200 indicates quite precisely. That's not at all with the Tissot movement ETA G10.211 as my Tissot V8 shows that does not fit perfectly with identical work especially the small seconds hand.
But that is not at work, but at a not quite so meticulously conducted pointer assembly. From this however can not be inferred that the V8 in this point is generally poor. These are just manufacturing tolerances at Tissot are actually already very low compared to other brands with comparable price.
Reading the scales proves to be very good, because the dial away with unnecessary frills and rather relies on clean lines, which I like.
The contrasts are nearly as good as with the special automatic pilot's chronographs, by example sense, Fortis and Tutima with her from the inside anti-reflective glasses and grandiose clear dials that are, however, located in a completely different league.
Even in the dark the time can be easily read. The pointer for the time and all indexes are full with a bulb that still allows after 8 hours a night visibility, if you have kept the clock on a bright light source in advance.
The accuracy of my PRC 200 is excellent. It has a very small deviation of only about 10 seconds per year!
My personal conclusion:
I am very happy and I am happy with the PRC 200 to have a clock that pleasantly distinguishes itself in its clear design, its elegance and its outstanding overall quality of the broad masses.
Anyone looking for a distinctive, very elegant-looking chronographs, which makes for every occasion a good figure, who emphasis on 'Swiss made', the good image and the clean processing from a reputable manufacturer, but want to pay as little money, that is to the Tissot PRC 200 certainly have his joy.
