Who should buy which.

The PRC 200 Chronograph Blue: A buyer who wants a Swiss chronograph that can be worn in the water and does not need winding or charging. Choose the slimmer PR 100 Chronograph if you want a smaller case, or a solar chronograph if you never want to change a battery.

The Chrono XL Classic Green: Someone who likes big watches, wants a chronograph with some warmth, and prefers leather to a bracelet. Choose the 40 mm PR 100 Chronograph if you find 45 mm too large, or a steel-bracelet chronograph if you need the watch for water.

Before you order.

At 43 mm wide, 42 mm long and 12.02 mm thick it is a substantial watch, and it runs on a battery. The case is not a diver and does not pretend to be one, so check the bezel and size against a watch you already wear.

It is 45 mm across, which is large, though Tissot lists the weight at only 75 g, so it wears lighter than it looks. It runs on a battery, and the leather strap is not the right choice for swimming.
