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 knows how to step up their game quietly, love their moves lately
Totally agree - they’re killing it!
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.
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.
More of an Aquaterra killer than a Datejust competitor. Great review - as always :)!
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 am wearing the Longines Conquest 38 mm Blue and I love this watch
Wearing my Longines hydro conquest today . Love Longines. Also love your content . Thank you 🙏🏻
Same! Lovely watch
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
Would love to see them update the standard Hydroconquest
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!
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.
Great watch, I just ordered it!
The L888 movement is such a great movement. 😊
Finally was waiting for this❤
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
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
On my wrist CW 12 purple 👊. I love the olive-green dial I might get one 🤞
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
Just finished mowing the lawn…I’m wearing my G-Shock 5610U for the occasion.
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
That champagne dial is beautiful ☺️ I love what Longines is been doing lately and i just bought the Hydroconquest GMT with the brown dial 🔥
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
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
Green one is just perfectionnnmmmmmmmm❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The green is my favorite, but I have to say I really like the silver dial which is weird because that would normally not be a color I gravitate towards.
this is both original and stunning
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
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.
Love to see a comparison with the monta noble. Very similar. Wonder if one wins out on quality
after your video i guess i look at the local ad for the green and the black dial version is a must🍀✌️
Green 😊
I'm currently wearing a Citizen Orca.
Today I am wearing my Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter in silver 😇 I do love my blue PRX Powermatic a little bit more though
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.
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.
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 ;)
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
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 agree with you !! This watch is a kind of Rolex
Weired that I feel like I would choose green over blue on the conquest yet I would choose blue on the DJ41
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.
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.
Longines Conquest VHP, wish they brought back this movement. Great grab n go watch.
Wearing my (new to me) Oris Aquis Date!
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.
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
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?
When will these watches be available for purchase?
Longines is moving up the ranks quite fast these past two years
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 🥰
The green version is heavenly.
Too bad about the white date (vs the blue with a blue date)
today i was wearing a tissot pr100, but now i'm wearing a seiko srph29k1
One of the best everyday watch in the price range!
Subbed after seeing you wear the Tissot PRX
Thanks mate, appreciate that
Longines always make beautiful watches and at a very reasonable price
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.
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
The date on mine isn’t changing! What could be the problem ?
6:28 my good ol' Seiko Samurai
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.
Size 41mm was ridiculous... glad they brought it down to 38mm... Finally some senses being knocked in
On my wrist today is a Alpina startimer automatic chronograph classic.
how does it compare to the sinn 556i
Tissot Seastar blue dial quartz
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.
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.
I think longines deserves a place with Rolex, Omega and Breitling. The brand can hold its own.
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
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
Can you kindly please make a video on Longines Dragon Year Red Dial limited edition
I have the Seiko LX SNR043 on my wrist
It’s disappointing though that the bracelet doesn’t have micro adjustments since it comes with butterfly clasp
Love it, totaly agree my friend
Could be my definitive whatch gada and forever
Regards from Spain
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.
YES! Longines NEEDS to bring the 38mm in brown!
36 mm case size would be perfection🔥
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
An omega seamaster at 39mm minus the helium excape knob will absolutely shake up the market and put Tudor BB58 especially in hot water along with the sub from rolex
Try closing a butterfly clasp using both sides at the same time, you can't. Closing it in a certain order is no big deal, you'd close it in the same way if it doesn't have to be in a certain order.
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 👍
I'm wearing my DJ 36 blue 126200 right now, but I'd gladly get one of these in green! 💚
this very good
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.
These look amazing, and well done … as always. But isn’t forty-nine point ten mm the same thing as fifty mm😂
Absolutely hate butterfly clasps. Micro adjustments are a must
My seamaster has one scratch on the ar coating from work
Nice!
The hands and indices need to be a little thicker and bolder for my taste. Otherwise this would be a real temptation.
Wearing the Bulova A-15. I do think this is more Aqua Terra.
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.
Omega Seamaster in 39mm would be amazing, as you say!!
Definitely!
It feels like I’m watching an Adrian Barker vid.
Tutti bellissimi ma quello blù è semplicemente strepitoso ❤❤
totallyd’accord
Beautiful. But 19mm/21mm lugs? WHYYYY!?
You are a good homage to Adrian Barker
Exactly! Spot on hahah. I was just waiting for a coffe mug and bang there it is.... great, fun video!
Affordable? I'd nominate the new Bulova Surveyor. I know it's all relative but Longines isn't affordable for most.
Very nice watch
