One watch collection competition. All under 400. Episode 19. FINAL 4. 2/2.

Without any pause I am glad to present you a second pair of finalists of GADA watch under 400$ challenge. If you read it and haven’t voted for the first pair, then you can find the post here – https://www.watchcrunch.com/witcher.watcher/posts/one-watch-collection-competition-all-under-400-episode-18-final-4-1-2-20373 Both watches of our second final 4 pair get praise and appear in top 3, 5, 10 budget watches by watch experts, WatchTubers, journalists and enthusiasts. It’s time to decide which one is the most loved one here at WatchCrunch. Tissot PRX vs. Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38 1. Tissot PRX Quartz Sizes: 40mm case diameter, 44,25mm lug-to-lug (~51 with fixed end-links), 10,4mm thick, 14mm lug width Movement: ETA F06.115 (quartz, hacks, power reserve up to 94 months) Materials: 316L steel brushed and polished Crystal: Flat sapphire crystal with inner AR coating Lume: No info Band: Integrated metal bracelet, solid links, solid endlinks, milled butterfly clasp WR: 100m Price: 300$ What to love: Unique design, great finishing, good integrated bracelet, reputable Swiss brand. Grain of salt: Extensive lug-to-lug with fixed end-links, butterfly clasp 2. Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 38 Sizes: 38mm case diameter, 47mm lug-to-lug, 10,8mm thick, 20mm lug width.

It's ok. Will watch from the sidelines who wins. 🍻

Hamilton every time. That other 70s watch doesn't do it for me!

·

#hamiltonkhakifield all the way is this battle. I love #hamilton despite it’s minor flaws.

·

Tough choice.  I think I like the styling of the PRX just a bit more than the Khaki but an automatic movement with an 80 hour power reserve puts the Hamilton in the lead.  I vote for the Hamilton Khaki Field watch.

If the movement is the most important factor for you, then Hamilton is hard to beat for this price range.

I own a Khaki King and that is a great watch. In PRX I personally also look towards 35mm option for my slender wrist.

·

If the 35mm had been listed, I'd have a harder decision. Opting against the larger diameter and the integrated bracelet is less tough, even if I have to choose mechanical over quartz. I don't know or care how Hamilton differs from any other field watch either.

·

I voted Hamilton because I don't like the big PRX. 🤷‍♂️

·

Of course, the integrated bracelet is a big minus point for a one watch collection..

I can't say I dislike the PRX, but I also like Hamilton a bit more in this pair. Hamilton is the only watch I voted for in Elite 8 stage that came through. The first pair was tougher for me, because I had to choose between two watches that I don't really like )). I'm glad that I found my personal winners of this competition and I will carry this knowledge with me.

Yes, same: My personal favs are gone.

I don't like the 40mm on my wrist, have tried it on a few times. Haven't seen a 35mm in the metal yet though.

·

As a GADA watch, I prefer the PRX with its 70s-inspired quartz sports watch design. It’s a sharp-looking homage to the old Seastar.

51mm lug to lug is undoable for me

That's it. Closing the poll. Hamilton is in the Grand Final. 

·

And it wasn't even close! Guess Hamilton is the finals favourite
