Yes.

Nice watch. But not the type of watch to throw around with watch nerds/snobs.

I have a MotoGP Tissot and love it. They make some nice watches for the motorsports crowd.

I like some of their designs. The PRC200 is a good choice.

Solid entry level Swiss auto IMO.

Meh, you could do better. Looks like watches you'd buy at a mall. What style of watch are you interested in?

Depends on model. They make a wide range.

I have a white face tissot tradition chronograph that I wear a lot in my rotation.

It's s nice watch with great build quality, but it's not a watch that will impress watch people. I don't care if it impresses people but some do.

What you get when you buy a Tissot is a very solid Swiss swatch group watch that will never have any issues. I'm also impressed with the sapphire crystal. I wear it as a daily beater and it has no scratches on it.

I Googled and saw a bunch of posts about fake PRC 200's on the market.
If they're making fakes, it must be a good watch.
Imitation is the best form of flattery.

What would you recommend between these two? Submariner or a Seamaster?

Look at Fortis, Nomos, Sinn, Stowa. Buy an automatic or a manual winding watch.

You don't like the Speedmaster? To me that's the best Omega...and preferably an older one. Research the older movements and find something rare that catches your eye.

Sub between the two though.
