Longines knows how to step up their game quietly, love their moves lately
Totally agree - they’re killing it!
Its more like an aqua terra than a datejust
Or an OP
@@willfaust471 the longines has a date, the OP doesnt. But i guess markers ans bezel wise, sure
This DJ owner agrees. The conquest is all AT on a budget while still being a totally killer piece.
It's its own thing. The Longines Conquest.
Agree, I even prefer it over the recent models of the aqua terra. Ofc the aqua terra’s movement is better but its bracelet is again just a copy of Rolex, which is not really desirable.
Longines is literally my favourite brand right now. It doesn't miss. If I had to pick only one brand to build an entire collection it'd be Longines
You have low standards
Me too
@@whereRbearsTeeth More like good taste and smart spending.
Oh please youd be creaming rn if these had Rolex or Padek on the dial
I can tell you this...Longines is yielding hit after hit after hit for the past 4 years. No longer wear my OP, Sub or AT. This Conquest does not leave my wrist.
More of an Aquaterra killer than a Datejust competitor. Great review - as always :)!
This is just perfect man, i prayed they would release it in 38mm. Now they just need to release a smaller Conquest Chronograph and remove the 12,9,6 numbers from the Hydroconquest and their catalogue would be top notch. It's really hard to look at another brand at this pricepoint, they are doing an amazing job listening to the public.
I like the 12, 9, 6 but they need to use smaller numbers on the 39mm, they're squished into the dial too much
@@K.J.H_ i feel like it also wears a bit large due to the lug to lug, maybe if they make it 38mm it would be a hit. There really aren't that many options for mid size divers out there. The Certina DS Action 38mm is one i can think of but nothing really comes close to that fit
Im wearing the 41 mm longines conquest in olive green . It’s my favorite watch that I own . If the name on it was Omega , they could charge twice as much . I was headed for an aqua terra … until I saw this longines in person. No regrets .
Currently wearing my Christopher Ward C65 Trident Mechanical. Love it
I don’t know if I would compare it to the datejust. It is an absolutely beautiful watch. Unique on its own. I do think it’s a better every day wear than the datejust considering you don’t take it climbing or hiking. Longines is knocking it out of the park lately. Very excited for what they are producing
Nice video as always. I wear Longines Hydroconquest 41 in blue (ceramic bezel version) and after 2 years of wearing this watch I have no scratch on sapphire glass or AR coating. On the new 38mm Conquests, my favorite dial is the white/silver.
My wife has the Conquest white/silver dial in 34mm, and I picked a 38mm in black. Both look amazing!
I’ve got the 4mm green dial and it fits perfectly. I have a bigger wrist. I’ve also tried on the 38mm and it fits great. These are the ideal sizes for men’s watches. Longines have really gone and done it here! 👌🏼
I disagree this on being a "special occasions" watch you cannot take climbing etc. The name is Conquest. It has sapphire crystal, 100M water resistance, screw down crown, highly anti magnetic for example. It is built for everyday use. Don't baby it just because it has some polished edges. That's not what this watch is made for. It's a versatile do it all watch.
Love these longines, love the colour options, especially the green and the blue.
Not everyone wants a rolex alternative
I bought my aqua terra small seconds, blue indices because I love how it looks and vintage inspired appearance
People who have rolex want people who haven't got one to want one, makes them feel special
If I won a free watch of any brand to the value of say, £20.000
It wouldn't be a rolex.
Harrison, thank God you are not leaving out "as always" because for a few episodes I thought there was a close clone of you... whew. Glad that is over. Agreed, the Conquest 38 is near perfection....I kept waiting to get my hands on the green 41 and could never find one...so...in a moment of supreme weakness I bought the 38 Aqua Terra in Saffron. That being said...the green 38 is next....Thank you for your insight and commentary!
Love my saffron AT but I would’ve picked up this new Conquest AND another Longines for the same price.
Cheers Mark, Appreciate that, hahaha I'll be back soon... as always ;)
Would love to see them update the standard Hydroconquest
I am wearing the Longines Conquest 38 mm Blue and I love this watch
Do you still like how is the comfort and also clasp can't decide this or the 37mm spirit
@@daveLin104 I like the butterfly clasp very much actually and its pretty comfortable. I tried the Spirit 37 and I loved it. The spirit 37 I think is more of a GADA type watch than the conquest
@mehmetcamat4458 thanks for the reply would you say the conquest is more dressy then ? I prefer the look of indices on the conquest they look cleaner but as a watch to read the time I prefer actual numbers and the spirit does them very well.
Yes its more dressy compare to the spirit 37 and yes the dial is cleaner. To me they are both excellent watches
Please stop comparing every watch to a Rolex.
True 😭
Only way for UA-cam to promote the video in ppl’s algorithms unfortunately
Is it just me or does the black in certain light 1:59 seem to have a brownish/bronzish at times silverfish 4:37 hue to it? Maybe it's my eyes but I really like how it plays with light.
Edit: LOL commented before watched the whole video you referenced it that the light does play off the black and give it some life.
Wearing my Longines hydro conquest today . Love Longines. Also love your content . Thank you 🙏🏻
Same! Lovely watch
Longines is moving up the ranks quite fast these past two years
I got to try on the ladies' version of this watch and was totally caught off guard! It doesn't look like much in stock photos, but in person you can really see the refined craftsmanship that is so important when it comes to subtle, simple designs. The green is my favourite as well, and I totally agree about the date window - I quite like the Date Just, but the date window is somehow too bulbous and distracting, definitely prefer it at 6 o'clock, and don't really care if I can't read it 😅
Nice to see a lady in the watchworld
Man that champagne dial looks lovely 😻
Split between the green dial and black dial. Want to use this as an every day watch. They’re both so clean!
Which one did you get.. black is more everyday
Same with blue and black!
Longines is definitely stepping up their game lately. I might have to pick one up. I am currently wearing my Tudor Ranger. Nice review. Subbed!
I can‘t wait for the Conquest Chrono in 39 mm. PLEASE LONGINES!
YES, ive been saying this ever since the 42mm came out. It seems like they are listening to us with the 39 Zulu time, legend diver, now the 38 conquest. I'm sure we will get it, cant really think about any sub 40mm chrono out there, maybe the 39mm Seiko Speedtimer but thats solar, the fit is perfetc tho
@@AndreiMin 39
39 or 40, I don’t care. Even 38,5 is possible though, and it can still look great (see Sinn 6000). I’ve had the Seiko and sold it because I wanted a mechanical chrono instead. And I still want one. The Omega Speedy looks too „common“ and simple, I think the Conquest Chrono is perfect.
But I think the size of chrono movement can not process in 39mm.
@Ascendsean35 no news yet but yeah it would be! I have messaged longines with several names on several platforms, please help, too😂
I also love green dials. I just bought a Rado Diastar original with the green dial.
Just finished mowing the lawn…I’m wearing my G-Shock 5610U for the occasion.
Thanks a lot for showing us the new variant! I have in order the 41mm Green Conquest and I would love to see the 38mm side by side.
Longines has replaced three position Tudor used to sit
Amazing watches and great value for the $$$
So many killer pieces
Also - keep up the awesome content, love it 🥰
Love what Longines are doing. I definitely don't need another watch, but I'm really falling in love with this one.
The L888 movement is such a great movement. 😊
Size 41mm was ridiculous... glad they brought it down to 38mm... Finally some senses being knocked in
Thank You !! what a beautiful timepiece
Longines absolutely killing it ATM. Latest Longines Conquest Chronograph is absolutely amazing in any color and this videos model in green is beeeeeautiful. Unfortunately to my 19cm wrist its way too small so I save my money to chrono model
there is a 41mm verison of this watch.
As someone who is looking to save for a special occasion watch this video came at the right time!! I do seem to lean to Longines, my 1st "proper" watch was a green prx 80 which I love and I think this is the next logical step
Visited the Longines AD today and got a surprise to see this 38mm was a new release. Muuuuch nicer size. The 19mm lug width would probably be my only gripe. The dial colours are lovely
I like how closing a clasp is now considered “frustrating”
i love you so much! I recently just found your nkuwan and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
The green version is heavenly.
Too bad about the white date (vs the blue with a blue date)
On my wrist CW 12 purple 👊. I love the olive-green dial I might get one 🤞
Great insights! How about their movement longines L888.3 vs tudor Calibre MT5400? Which one is better?
Wearing my (new to me) Oris Aquis Date!
Longines always make beautiful watches and at a very reasonable price
If the green dial had a matching date wheel colour I might have to get one of these .. the white is messing with my ocd
same
The white background date wheel shows
In the dark, giving the dial balance.
Bought mine 10 days ago
@@bobbremner3395what do you mean? Is it lumed?
That champagne dial is beautiful ☺️ I love what Longines is been doing lately and i just bought the Hydroconquest GMT with the brown dial 🔥
Today I am wearing my Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter in silver 😇 I do love my blue PRX Powermatic a little bit more though
Longines is just epic! Watching this wearing my Legend Diver 39 Blue dial 💪🏻
The smaller watch trend has been going for a while now. I bought a 36mm Rolex OP back in 2020, while big watches were still popping off, because I knew the trend always roams back towards 36-39mm. My Rolex Op wears like a 38mm and is perfect for my 6.75 inch wrist.
This is awesome. I was looking for a GADA to wear daily to wear instead of my Explorer 39mm.
As someone with the PRX, would you consider picking up the Longines? I know they’re not in the same category but I feel like the PRX has versatility
It's too similar in my opinion.
Green one is just perfectionnnmmmmmmmm❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think these watches are beautiful. I would really love them to do a purple though! Also, would love them to do a day-date model!
also wearing my Reverie Diver (red dial) 12 hr bezel
I got 41mm on my 7,1/4 inch wrist(18cm cold) and almost feel like its too small sometimes.. Wouldnt recommend 38mm for wrist over 6.5
Love the watch
Love my Longines Spirit Zulu with the date wheel matching the dial color.
Disappointing that they didn’t do the same for green and champagne
Any chancw they release this in 36mm?
We need to stop comparing everything to Rolex. Rolex needs to go for a vacation
Comment made by someone that doesn't own a rolex😊
@@thefwenkmeister972no man even Rolex owners are sick of Rolex.
Love that green dial
Great watch, I just ordered it!
Love the 38. I liked the design since they released the 41, but due to the flat sitting lugs, it wore way too big for me.
The thickness is the same as it has the same movement as the 41.
The reason for the clasp closing like that is for extra safety, as a double locking mechanism.
The classic butterfly is more likely to fully open if you touch it accidentaly, and will wear off faster in time.
When will these watches be available for purchase?
Longines Conquest VHP, wish they brought back this movement. Great grab n go watch.
Recently picked up the Longines Spirit 37mm in blue and I’m loving that, but the green dial here looks amazing. Perhaps my 2nd Longines later this year. I love the blue OP, but can’t justify the price difference. My other option is the BB36mm, but that’s still another £1300 more 😊
I'm currently wearing a Citizen Orca.
I have both the 38mm aqua terra teak blue dial and this conquest 38mm champagne dial. The longines is a great watch and amazing value at $2000, but the aqua terra blows it out of the water in terms of build quality, finishing and attention to detail, but what else would you expect at three times the price?
Subbed after seeing you wear the Tissot PRX
Thanks mate, appreciate that
this is both original and stunning
how does it compare to the sinn 556i
after your video i guess i look at the local ad for the green and the black dial version is a must🍀✌️
Green 😊
Finally was waiting for this❤
Looking at my aqua terra - it looks like the this clasp uses a similar mechanism. It’s going to be much better and more secure than the older model butterfly clasp.
This watch is a beauty on its own and does not need to be compared to anything from Rolex.
Longines is absolutely killing it recently and rightly so, such an awesome brand with rich history
I agree with you !! This watch is a kind of Rolex
The date on mine isn’t changing! What could be the problem ?
I don’t know whether to get one of these or a Frederique Constant Highlife
Love it! Except for the polished bezel. Looking for an everyday watch and I just can't have a polished bezel, at least that thick.
What's color do you personally pick? Pls help me to decide which one, please...😁🙏🏻
Love to see a comparison with the monta noble. Very similar. Wonder if one wins out on quality
One of the best everyday watch in the price range!
PRX vs Longine conquest which do you prefer?
It's odd that Longines's website doesn't mention if this is a COSC movement or not. I was curious and Googled the L888 and it seems like it's supposed to be a COSC certified movement, but I can't see anywhere that confirms this.
L888.4 was cosc certified. The new ones comes with L888.5 which are not certified
I kinda wanna ask since I see a lot of reviewer do this. Does Rolex actually lives rent free in your mind and you see all other watches as a rolex alternative first? Or is it just because doing that caches view?
Shoehorning Rolex into a video generates views.
I think the Citizen Tsuyosa is closer to being an Affordable Rolex Datejust. It looks very similar, has date magnifier but enough differences like the integrated bracelet and moved crown to differentiate.
But it’s a Citizen
Is the crystal Domed or flat?
Can you kindly please make a video on Longines Dragon Year Red Dial limited edition
Subscribed! Enjoyed the video! I can’t help but notice there’s an emulation of Adrian Barker?
Thanks bud, ahaha Adrian and I are pals and we live really close to each other so have similar accents etc
YES! Longines NEEDS to bring the 38mm in brown!
6:28 my good ol' Seiko Samurai
I have my 1980’s TAG Heuer 2000 series on right now. Love Longines, if I actually had £2000 to spend on a watch, it would definitely be a Longines 👍
They all look great, but it is disappointing that the major brands continue to not release color matching date wheels. I mean the $300 Erebus watch has matching wheels. Can't tell me Longines couldn't do that for $2000.
I'm wearing my DJ 36 blue 126200 right now, but I'd gladly get one of these in green! 💚
I like the 41mm version but find it a bit too big for my taste. The reviewers said that they expected a smaller edition but don't hold your breath. Well here it is. I am tempted but there is still the new BB and of course the Aqua Terra. What a dilemma.
Weired that I feel like I would choose green over blue on the conquest yet I would choose blue on the DJ41
These look amazing, and well done … as always. But isn’t forty-nine point ten mm the same thing as fifty mm😂
Yes indeed… nice work again from Longines 💪👍👏❤️
Amen to that!!
I think longines deserves a place with Rolex, Omega and Breitling. The brand can hold its own.
The bezel and dial looks better than a certain overseas.
great one for the ladies
Tutti bellissimi ma quello blù è semplicemente strepitoso ❤❤
The green was almost perfect. The white in the date window is a no.
On my wrist today is a Alpina startimer automatic chronograph classic.
