Which is better for swimming and snorkeling?

Both handle it, but the Promaster's 200 m rating gives more margin. The Chandler at 100 m is fine for swimming and snorkeling, not diving.

Is the Promaster worth $75 more?

Yes if you dive, travel across time zones, or prefer a rubber strap. If you mostly wear it to work, the Chandler saves you money.

Both use Eco-Drive solar movements with no battery to replace, so the movement life is similar. The Promaster's rubber strap holds up better to water than the Chandler's leather.

Do either need a battery change?

No. Both are Eco-Drive solar quartz and recharge from any light source.

The Chandler, with its brown leather strap and Arabic numerals. The Promaster's grey dial and rubber strap read as sport and aviation.

Are they the same size?

Yes, both use a 42 mm stainless steel case and a 22 mm lug width, so straps are interchangeable between them.
