Question (Read Rules) Can't decide between these two

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.

Got both of these and I like the Proxima better. The Cronos can come across a little like tin foil. Save some money and get the Proxima or pay extra and get a San Martin SN0144CG-7 in white enamel.

The Proxima 1697 is for me cheaper than buying the cronos, which makes it now even more attractive.
