What of these watercolors is the best?

Hello, I'm searching for some watercolor to buy and I'm between these two:
1. Winsor & Newman, Cotman, 12 pans - [link]

2. Koh-I-Noor, 24 pans - [link]

If anyone already used one of these brands, please, can you tell me what is the best?

Koh-I-Noor is not a bad brand at all, but since I haven't used their watercolors I can't say whether they're any good. I use the tube paints anyway.
Winsor & Newton is a reputable high end brand, but I rarely buy their stuff.

They seemed a bit dry and how everyone agreed it's better go for the sure.

I've never ever seen their watercolors too, but Koh-i-Noor is surely Nr.1 for pencils ^^

I agree

I love their pencils, watercolor pencils and soft pastels. Great price for quality.

Thank goodness you chose the windsor and newton.. I dont really know the other but doesnt look good at all..
All that kind of watercolors that are displayed like that use to be bad: hard to water and poor in colour, on the other hand the ones that are packed in small cubes with paper around (like the ones you got) use to be good.

Since the beginning the W&N seems betters, but I asked for opinions anyways. It's always better be sure before buy, no bad surprises after.
