A Definitive Everyday Watch For $2,000 Now At 38mm - Longines Conquest

[@DaFox13]

Longines is on Fire. Quality, heritage, looks and class.

[@jasonpark5817]

I was waiting for this size to come out. Finally Longines did it!

[@hochunghing4714]

[@thebestoffools]

The perfect size for me. I was gonna get the new Legend Diver but at this price, this Conquest at 38mm is the more logical choice for me. I'll definitely go see them.

[@AnitaHannjob]

Why? Do you have wrists like a 12 yr old girl! This is direct result of “D.E.I.” First Tudor and now Longines? The new BB54??.. GHAY! Soo GHAY! Full of GHAYness Why is it that all of a sudden all theese Napoleon Girly Boys now want to wear a nice watch?

I am by no means a watch expert, but through your videos as a novice I've understood so much to fall in love with them over the last year. Have yet to pull the trigger on a first, everyday type watch but the Conquest 2023 38mm is by far the biggest standout in my eyes. So happy they added this size. May need to spoil myself with this at some point. 👀

[@RamseyInova]

I have written many times on the Longines official website saying CONQUEST is your carrier and accessible series, you should definitely make it in 38 mm. And they did. Congratulations.

Me too 😂🎉

[@Eduardinca]

I wasn’t sure if I would go for this one or the hydroconquest gmt but the second I saw the green dial version in person, I instantly knew that this was the one. I’ve had it for 5 days now and I honestly can’t stop looking at it.

[@Frank-qs3pe]

I am retiring in 3 weeks and was looking to buy Tudor. Now I’ll have to look at Longines. I like their history very much as well.

A Longines is certainly a fitting retirement gift, no doubt. Such an impressive and storied history which informs their truly amazing current collection portfolio. Underrated beyond belief this brand.

people at longines know what they are doing . imo longines is the most underrated company among swiss watch companies.

Unbelievable stretch of releases we are seeing from them. I didn't even mention their flyback and the new central power reserve. Giuseppe Miccio, the head of product, deserves a lot of credit for simply getting what collectors want.

[@AMAMBT]

@@TeddyBaldassarre not pretending to be watch expert but i may understand and appreciate quality , and i owned many tissot and longines through my watch collecting journey among other swiss brands ( 30 + years) . and those 2 brands stood the test of time for design and quality . they don't get the kind of recognition they really deserve. and i wonder why ?

[@javiersj8628]

@@AMAMBT They´re part of the Swatch Group and the company decided to place them in their current market segment. The quality and price of the current catalogue is intended to compete with Tudor and similars, and not invade Omega´s space.

[@javiersj8628]

@@AMAMBT Swatch group owns Longines, Tissot, Omega amongst other big watch brands and they just want it that way. Most of the market is hype based, imo paying 4.000$ for a 40 years old datejust is insane, considering you can have a Longines, Tissot or Omega for 1.000$ at most.

[@WillSavage]

@@TeddyBaldassarreoh my goodness that central power reserve piece is gorgeous. Giving that watch some airtime Teddy would be awesome

[@RedwoodAggie]

I am pretty sure I was one of the people commenting about the need for a 38mm variant. I tried the blue 41 on and while it fit my 7 inch wrist fine, I'd really prefer a bit smaller. It's good to see Longines finally came through. The champagne dial doesn't do much for me, but I like literally every other color available. This really is a good value in that dressy sport watch area. It's 1/3 the cost of the Aqua Terra, and certainly much more than 1/3 of that watch. The Aqua Terra is an excellent watch (my father has the 38mm variant), but the lack of micro adjust can be levied against that as well. Would it be nice if the lume was a bit better? Sure, but at least there is lume. This isn't the kind of watch where you're always depending on it after hours in the dark. Kudos to Longines for another release proving the brand is moving up in the watch world. Thanks for doing a video on this one, as I hadn't even heard about this release.

[@Sojourner88]

Yes, as an owner of an AT, I can see the massive value in this. You get probably 75% of the AT here at half the price. Great value, great watch.

[@JettGunther]

I had bought the 41mm version of this with the green dial before the 38mm came out. The size definitely was the only reservation I had about it, but it was still within an acceptable proportion to my 6.5 wrist and so I went for it. Turns out I quite liked the fullness of it and still to this day marvel at how amazing of a watch it is. All this being said, I'd get the 38mm 😂

[@happywanderer5632]

I own the green 41mm and love it. very elegant and versatile watch. highly recommended

[@jlm1567]

Actually went to the Longines store last year and was gutted at the 41mm. Patience is virtue!

[@francoismoens2183]

Thanks for this video, she decided to buy the blue version in 38mm. My critaires were: waterproofing, size 36 or 38, the screw-down crown , protection couronne , date, simplicity of the dial, a little luminescence , and especially the weight contained 121gr despite the bracelet steel fine and comfortable with its two half links. It’s more comfortable than my 2000 Tudor hydronaute and more durable than my 1950’s Omega seamaster. And all this 3 times cheaper than the Grail Rolex 36mm. I love small watches on my wrist 7" 18 cm. A good watch for everyday life .

[@maejorgiessinger]

[@ClassicChevyC10]

I love my 41mm with a 8.5" wrist but appreciate the proportions on the 38mm. Only thing I was disappointed with is the fitment of the pins in the bracelet. The one I received I had to add links to and you had to mix and match pins/links to find a combination where they all fit tightly.

[@hootonhoot]

Should have kept brown dial

[@chrisfleming5869]

I think this is a serious step down from the previous Conquest in most aspects, which was a truly versatile watch. I understand differences of perspective on this, and don't state it as some scientific or universal opinion; I'm just very glad I got the previous model. I fail to comprehend the description of "ultra aggressive" (!) crown guards on the previous model, or - as Teddy implies here - that 300m water resistance "somewhat thwarted the mass appealing objectives." Mind you, I also note in previous videos of Teddy's this water resistance rating was considered a massive plus! And that suggests (among other things) that Teddy's views tend to conveniently align to what he can sell, in terms of active stock. I don't blame him; these videos, as most people realise, function as extended advertorials - but it's not pointless to indicate that perspectives tend to shift oddly in line with product line changes. I understand why he'd do that; it doesn't hurt to point out the inconsistencies sometimes. (I've noted it several times.) I still enjoy the channel enormously.

[@superandre200]

Very good looking watch, but an extra 1mm lug width would have looked so much better for a number of reasons probably.

[@eugenethomas4647]

Ask and you shall receive... Green is the standout in my opinion. I do wish it had a normal clasp with on the fly adjustment though. Overall, these are fantastic watches.

The small size train keeps rolling and is picking up steam! I got on board a year or two ago. I have two Longines dress watches with aviation watch elements incorporated into them that I love.

Excellent video as always. This was helpful. I've been wearing watches for awhile but recently been looking at Hamiltons and Longines. It's kinda funny, when I've been wearing Seiko and Citizen for decades, I always found 40mm or 39mm watches which fits me perfectly. Now as I look at mid tier and above, I can never find the perfect size for me lol. Its always 38 or 41! That's ok though, I'll just have to try a 38, at least with Longines (since their lugs are SO long). Thank you for displaying the Silver dial. Didn't see it anywhere else on YT. I think it looks great. Also, hoping the ligher color looks bigger for my tastes. Though its a shame I can't get the Green or Blue in a 39mm! If only lol

[@a.g.4619]

I do own the old Longines conquest and I love it however that new champagne dial looks amazing. Might just be my next watch.

[@BobLorrimer]

It is great value when one considers the long term history of the brand. The lack of an on the fly adjustment on the bracelet (as executed so brilliantly with the IWC PILOT XX but at twice the price) might be a deal breaker for me....but I will certainly be visiting my local dealer to see and feel the watch on my wrist - that's the moment.

[@Brian-xu9di]

Now that they have a 38 mm version, and I am seriously considering purchasing it, but am still debating between that and the Formex Essence 39. I think I am leaning toward the Conquest, as I feel more comfortable buying a major brand. Any thoughts? For now, I will just have the one watch for business casual, jeans, and suit and tie. Thanks Edit 7/3/24: I purchased a blue one last weekend, but have not received it yet. I paid about $1500, as I know the jeweler - but was willing to pay full price. Now I can put the money I saved toward a dress watch, but for now - this will do for every occasion.

[@AdyRpd]

[@catlike1]

A very nice offering at a good size. My only issue is the butterfly clasp. Microadjustment is so important/useful, and to have to rely on removing half links is just too inconvenient. 19 mm lug width is not ideal, but sometimes the design warrants it. So, not that bothered by that.
