I recently bought this conquest 38 in blue and I love it. I have been wearing it for a week non stop swimming with it in my pool going to the gym. It is a great watch very chic and sporty as well
I just purchased one the other day, but have not yet received it. I am a little concerned that even the 38 mm version is a bit too large for my 6.5" wrist, but it is probably because the watches that I do have are older, and much smaller. I don't think I will be jumping in the ocean with mine - but maybe I am just old fashion. I was stuck between the Conquest and the Heritage Sector, but decided that the Conquest was something I could wear for everything, and if I want - can buy a dressier watch later.
Yes you are right it runs a little large than a regular 38 watch but not that bad. My wrist is also 6,5 and it wears fine. Also it can be used for dressy environments as well
@@mehmetcamat4458 thanks
I will get one of these as my first luxury watch this year. Can't wait. I'm undecided over the blue or white version. The blue looks stunning in person but that white is so classy.
The white could be more versatile
They all look great. I got the blue. The white seems more formal/dressy to me. I wanted a watch that I can wear everyday, and for anything. These days, people just wear what they want to any occasion, except for a very formal event. Good luck.
@@Brian-xu9di I'm building a three watch rotation. Black face diver, blue face adventure watch, white face dress watch. I'm 2/3 and this will be the white faced dress watch. I think that three watch combo is a good collection that will have you covered for a little bit of everything
Green😊
This looks so classy, understated and quality. It doesn't look too "blingy". It doesn't look like a tuna can on a starp. Perfect balance between dress watch face and sportswatch case/bracelet. I don't need any more new watches, but I might get one of these anyway.
I'm torn between the white and the champagne dial. Very well done review, great shots
Thanks for watching! If you’d ask me I’d go for white. It’s easier to style and to wear daily. But that’s just my personal preference your taste and style is surely different so go for whatever version you like more.
I have the white one and love it. It's impeccable.
Detailed review. Thanks for putting in the effort to take a close look!
Thank you!
I would definitely consider buying a 41mm Conquest if I didn't already own a 42mm Spirit. Which is stunning!! 👨🏻🦲👌🏻
Very nice watch 👏
I did go with a 42 spirit over this watch. But this was my second choice as well.
@@AldoFelt I was actually in the process of saving for the Spirit Zulu Time but the Green Spirit came up at a rediculously low price from the AD (almost half off!) and I couldn't resist. Absolutely no regrets but I've had to start saving for the Zulu again! 😂
@@AldoFelt I was actually saving for the Spirit Zulu Time 42mm but the Spirit became available from an AD for almost half price and I just couldn't resist. Absolutely no regrets whatsoever.
I've just got to start all over again saving for the Zulu 😂
Definitely like this version more so than the previous Conquest. I owned, but sold, the 41mm in blue. I have that silver/white 38mm on my radar.
Thanks for sharing! The silver one is my favourite too
I did the same re the blue 41- did you pull the trigger on the 38mm yet?
Nice review. Butterfly clasp is a great disapointment. No micro ajustment is a big NO for me. What a shame because it is a nice watch in the right sizes.
Thanks! There is definitely potential for a future update. Besides you can always swap out the bracelet for a strap leather or rubber ✌🏼.
You are 💯 spot on. That’s a no go without the micro adjustment on the go.
Thank you for the review. I have the champagne version and can tell that it is a gorgeous quality piece. A great move from Longines launching the Conquest in 38mm. They should have down this at the first place.
Awesome! A very good watch in a very wearable size. I like it 👍🏼
I have 3 Longines and am considering adding one of these. As for the 19mm lug width, Longines has been using that size for many of their watches for years. So, I am used to it!
I would definitely add this to my collection. You can see the quality and appreciate its GADA flavour, styling and qualifications. The attraction of this watch is that it doesn’t have an awkward and unnecessary dive style bezel, which by all accounts, would make it cumbersome. This really is a watch that would be as comfortable in an office environment as it would be in a field. Quality watch in my books!
Thanks for sharing. That was what I thought. As a first watch or even only watch it covers all necessary bases.
Yes! I have had my eyes Longines for about 1.5 years. Not yet. After the crash of wall st my finances may permit a purchase. The Conquest 38mm is an eye catcher. So for now I'm just a "WATCHER" .lol😂
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
I have the chronograph version ( black dial with silver tri-compax timing sundials). I was concerned considering the cost of the watch and the fact that it is cam actuated chronograph, not column wheel (mind you so is the original Omega Moonwatch so perhaps I was unduly concerned).
Although much larger than the time only variant, so far after having it for 6 months, touch wood I am delighted. Accuracy wise mine is running at around +/- a second per day, well better than COSC and more like the Metas Master Chronometer standard. Lovely watch. Wearing mine on the Longines black NATO with the red stripe as supplied with Longines Ultra Chron. The red stripe on strap looks gorgeous against the red accents on tachy scale and chronograph timing hands. Really lovely watch.
Good review, thanks! I like the new conquest a lot. I think Monta Noble has pros and cons for similar price - better bracelet and for me may be a better dial and hands design but the movement is not as good...
On a side note, I think it will be better if you take the occasion and you say during your videos that 'we' who are working on 19mm straps is actually Hirsch 🙂
Thanks for the feedback 😅 did I not say that?
Monta is interesting, never handled one of their watches yet.
@@NikolausHirsch I rewatched - you said it the first time and later did not say it the second time.
I think this new longines is brilliant and also with an ETA movement made in Switzerland! I tried it in their boutique in Luzern and it felt great! I also like a lot that the butterfly clasp is flat on the underside! It also has 5 year warranty!
The monta noble I have not tried. It always seemed a great watch to me and as a full package of watch head and bracelet (with 20mm lug width) it is better then the longines. The caliber is behind but is it as behind as to make a bigger difference?
I think that the flat butterfly clasp, caliber and 5 year warranty puts the new conquest just a tiny bit ahead for me...
The lack of micro-adjustment is a huge mistake. I would have bought the blue dial 38mm if you could micro-adjust the size. I don't even need on-the-go adjustment. Just give me 3 or 4 holes to change the size with a springbar tool or toothpick. Fail.
Thanks for sharing. I wouldn’t say it’s a huge mistake 😅 - it’s something they can improve on for sure. But it’s also nothing that overly common for watches at the price point. you can obviously take out links and you always have the option to wear the watch on a rubber or leather strap.
Nice watch and size too
The date disc seems a little off to the right, or at least the "23" … besides I find the idea of "Longines tweaks the movement" very romantic, wish I could feel anything like that regarding swatch group brands.
Beautiful watch. I would consider it if I had an uncomfortably large amount of money. For people like me who gravitate to this style of design but are less excited about the price, there's the Casio Edifice EFV-100D-1AVUEF at about 1/30 of the price of the Longines Conquest. The Casio's bracelet is underwhelming, but the watch itself is actually great at the price level. I wear it on a Marine Nationale strap. It's the cheapest watch in my collection and simultaneously one of my most worn. It ranks lower than the Longines Conquest on the refinement scale but is a very versatile everyday watch. A part of enjoying a watch is not having to worry about it.
Thanks for sharing! Great that you enjoy your Casio it’s a fine watch for the price 👏.
Now hear me out: make the "conquest" text on the white dial variant red and you have yourself a very sporty option!
Also would have still preferred something a bit smaller like 36 or 37mm, my wrist is just that anemic...
Interesting take! I’d like to see that. Have you tried the 34mm version they might be up your alley.
This is an outstanding size for all but the largest wrists .
The White Dial is my pick of the two ; and probably out of the
five iterations ….. 😘
Το αγόρασα σε μπλε χρώμα,είναι υπέροχο ! Είχα πάει στο St Imier Διακοπές και επισκέφθηκα και την Longines .Οποτε μου θυμίζει πάντα το υπέροχο μέρος
Great review..nice watch, except personally I think they have ruined it by not putting it on a 20mm bracelet. In my eyes there is too much of a gap horizontally between where the lugs end and the bracelet connects. The actual watch head is almost spot on, apart from the lugs being too long imho..
Call be fussy, but that’s my view..👍
Thought the same and also on pictures it looks like how you have described. I have tried and purchased it couple of weeks ago and in real it does not look as misproportioned as it looks on the pics.
Thanks for sharing which dial colour did you pick?
@@NikolausHirsch the one and only „champagne“ dial. This model has the potential to be launched in many more different color variations. Imagine a purple, red, turquoise dial. Would be phenomenal.
I like the watch but it has a bit basic of a case. I wouldve liked to see a some brushed accents or a facet on the lugs. (Kinda like the Longines Spirit)
It's Beautiful.💯👍
Thank you very much!
Don’t care for 38mm too small, I’m a big guy and like my watches to be 41mm or larger. But it does look nice.
You understand what you said
What are you trying to say? You have a big wrist and 38m is too small so what!
Lucky for you they have the 41mm version and the chronograph.
Missing the clasp from conquest gmt to be the perfect watch for me
Lovely watch!
Right up there with the Omega Seamaster AT and Tag Heuer Carrera 3 hand!
I agree
Wunderschöne Uhr! Was hast du denn für einen Handgelenksumfang? Dann kann ich besser einschätzen, ob für mich eher die 38mm oder die 41mm in Frage kommen
Hi, ich habe 16.5cm - unbedingt beide einmal anprobieren. Die 38mm tragen sich etwas größer als man denkt. Welches Zifferblatt wird es werden?
Vielen Dank für die Antwort! Ich habe einen Umfang von etwa 17cm und tendiere eher zur 38mm Variante, aber muss noch beide anprobieren und ich werde mir definitiv die Grüne holen
No mention of price? Did I miss it?
2300€ here in Austria. I did mention it. About 2k USD
Great video
Thanks!
36 mm case size would be perfection🔥
Very nice - 2 thumbs up on the white dial 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks!
Hi ,Good vid .
Now I have many longine time pieces, top top watches. I have just purchased a breil manta city watch. They both look very similar yes I know their is know comparison with longine. But for £30 I paid for it with a thick leather strap. I dare eneyone to say this watch doesn't have a top style and build and Finnish to it.if you say it is rubbish overall then I'm afraid you are telling porkies.
I have many luxury watches and this is as good or in some cases matches watches that are 10 times plus in value.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing your story. I have to check out that Breil 🙌.
Have they kept the beat rate? as I'm sick of swatch etc cutting it down..What's the advantage of this over the other line they have at a simmler price?
What is up whit the date wheel not lining up ??
Date wheel? I just see a little date box at the 6, which looks lined up to me.
@@Brian-xu9di oké brian
@@robinnoo Just watched another video - yea, the 27 does look a little misaligned - my mistake.
How is it that someone who looks to have been dragged through a hedge backwards is promoting such an elegant and sophisticated watch.
Perhaps there is hope for him ?
Not putting date background that matches the dial is just Longines laziness and trying to save some bucks. Don’t care actually, beautiful and great watches. Longines is one of my favorites
They did do it on the black, blue and white dial version. Only champagne and green are missing.
02:00 - The misalignment of date (26) in the date window is a disappointment.
It’s actually not my just be the play of light and shadows
I like the watch but I don’t understand why they don’t add the rubber strap to it.
Let’s wait maybe they will.
No micro adjustment???
Damn 19mm lugs gods sake
Yeah 😂
Is the specific version of the L888 on this one COSC or not?
It's not, they would brag about in on the dial if it was :D
It looks like the 1994 Omega Seamaster 120m
2:48 It's shame Longines can't get the date aligned centrally in the dial cut out.
Just the one clip though. For every other clip, the date is aligned.
I went to the ad the other day to try this specific watch and all new models came with the 23 number offset, but after a slight move from the crown it centers
Its a beauty.
If only they used the clasp on the HC gmt
2400 is a way too much for Conquest!!
Is it white or silver?
Silver
@@lx95020 that’s what I thought - I didn’t think there was a white dial.
It’s a silver dial, depending on the light it can range from white to light grey
why aren't they on the websites?
They are and there is a direct link in the description
@@NikolausHirsch ah on somewebsite they are not...had to find the right one thanks
I don't wear glasses, so dates don't jump in my face anyway. However, I find dates in general ruin the watch face, so I prefer no dates.
I won’t buy a watch without a date. Each to their own.
Exactly ✌🏼
It’s so meh. Looks similar to some old Seikos that cost under $100. This looks like a sub-$1000 watch. Quality might be a bit better but not substantially.
Yes, this thing is boring.
❤
POWER REZERVE - . 🙃
People have their own character. If it's your watch that has the character, you're in trouble. You should be the talking point, not your watch.
The commentary is about watches not people…the watch does have a certain character, balance and presence all based on it’s design. If you don’t see it well that’s you. Now if you want to talk about people’s character there are other web sites that you can do that….
@@guscasillas858 you've missed the point of my reply regarding the lack of character of the existing collection, as it was stated that the previous collection had character, the current ones don't
The old version is better. Has much more character and easily recognized. In a sea of commonplace looking sports watches, why add more to that sea.
You think so? Honestly I never liked the old version. Just wasn’t my style. The newer ones are cleaner in their aesthetic.
@NikolausHirsch for me personally I have a few watches that already look similar to the new conquest styling. At this point, I want to add very characterized watches, so if I had to choose between the two conquest it is the older one. I'm not saying the conquest line is a favorite of mine. I'm just saying this because the topic is the conquest. Out of longines, the spirit 37mm in blue on a bracelet is a killer watch. I am trying to get that as my next watch.
I liked the numerals on the dial but the crown guards were hideous
Nonsense. This new watch is demonstrably better in every way.
The old one looks terrible. This new one is way way better.
The bracelet comes to 16mm at the end and it’s really disappointing. The reason why I’m not buying this watch.
