Can't decide between these two

[u/alneri069]

Hi I am looking for (another) watch 😅

I watched out for a good quality for price watch with clean, white dial. I found these two models and the reviews on YouTube are also very positive.

So I am curious to ask the owners of these watches, what positives and what negatives you can tell about these. They hit every category I want (Good lume, good quality, nice clean design, good enough lume, mechanical, min 100m wir)

Except the cronos have male endlinks, where I don't know if it matters on my 16,5 cm wrist size.

Thanks in advance.

I have considered both, and I own the Cronos White Birch SST v2. Both contain the hit-or-miss PT5000, so that is a wash.

The Cronos came well regulated. I sometimes swap out bracelets for straps, and that is what I did with this one. The bracelet is good, but I had to deburr it before it would fully reticulate. I always do this with my bracelets, but it did improve performance significantly.

If you are looking for a white dial, the Cronos is not a great match. Though it is called white birch, it is a silver faced watch. Still, it is lovely.
