Longines Conquest (everyday quartz watch)

[@raymondrichardson6061]

Nice to see this watch get some love. I have the automatic. It’s accuracy is fantastic. I really do love the quality feel of it, and the dial is beyond black. It looks great on the wrist, and is a great and practical Explorer alternative, you wouldn’t be afraid to wear.

[@severnsea]

Kind of odd that the black dial has painted indices with lume, and the blue one has applied indices without lume. It wouldn't be an issue for me as I prefer the latter look, prefer the blue colour and wouldn't be bothered by the lack of lume but it's something worth noting if anybody is thinking of buying one.

[@JusttheWatch]

Been thinking a lot about the automatic version of this. Nice to get a look at the quartz version here!

[@pherble]

Thanks Rob, great video. I sometimes get the impression from all the KZbin videos on watches that I'm abusive to my watches because I just wear them while I do life. Whether it is my Alpinist, or SKX, or Adraaga, if I choose to wear it for that day, it is going to be in for whatever I'll be doing. Of course I'll wear my Casio pathfinder on a rafting trip or a dress watch for a wedding, but otherwise, there is no special treatment. The sole exception is for watches I'm not convinced I'll keep. I have a frost monster that just has underwhelmed, so I've never worn it on bracelet and have only kept it on for a few hours of desk diving. It may seem funny but I think this attitude works for me because I've gotten some really good deals on great watches who've seen some love simply because normal wear doesn't scare me away from a prospective purchase.

[@elarson312]

I purchased the Longines Hydroconquest automatic and it is an awesome watch. I compared it to several others including the Oris Aquis and this felt like higher quality than what I compared it to.

[@jgg44]

My fiancé bought me the quartz blue dial conquest. I love it and it’ll be something I’ll cherish forever.

[@jpwphotographicstudio3891]

My wife bought me one in 2013, but with the silver face no lume on mine but polished hands you can still see in poor light. I class it as my suit watch more a dress watch in my opinion. Second hand on mine hits the markers perfectly. I like it ....

[@Sr.D]

Seiko, Citizen and Casio quartz movements are outstanding already, hitting perfectly and without stutter every marker, at this price point better to be High Accuracy Quartz at least or I'll go for Japanese.

[@andrewbarten7347]

Plenty of 'Explorer' alternatives in mechanical but very few (heavy duty) ones in quartz. This Conquest is the only one I've found.

[@charliedoyle118]

If I’m paying that much for a quartz, it better hit each mark exactly and the lume should cause temporary blindness.

[@RandomRobReviews]

I agree

[@desjon6012]

Lol

[@kylestephens9593]

I was going to buy a used watch like this shown here, but except the bracelet, there is nothing outstanding in this watch. Both this and the watch I wanted to buy had bad lume, crappy indices and logo, it does not even hit the mark right... everything looks like a much cheaper watch, but it is not a cheap watch, even used.

[@dustingaddis2423]

And it should have all the features. Perpetual calendar, radio control, etc. AND, solar powered. It's 2019, who wants to bother changing batteries when solar powered watches are an option?

[@frznrrfan.frznrrfan102]

I got a Tisell homage Explorer, killer lume, hits every second marker and keeps excellent time 90s5. For 225.00 used, its in better shape than this one that's in the 500.00 range. It's a beater that I will take care of.

[@jasongennero2925]

It's the poor man's Rolex explorer. But I'd buy it over an explorer any day. Two grand for a watch is my limit. You can get anything you want specs or design wise for two grand or less.

With the usability and waterproofing I see mo reason to buy an Explorer. Thanks for the video...this could be just what I want 😁

I have a LungoMare. Predecessor of the Conquest range. Also a quartz. I am very happy with it. Longines is very underrated in my opinion. Great watches, great history.

[@scotthetrick5057]

My go to everyday watch. Looks great and very versatile. Prefer the blue dial rather than black. I love it.

[@theurbanman]

Great Video Rob . The best model in the conquest range is the one that's been discontinued ref L3.676.4.16.6 it's the Automatic 39mm it's the one with the best "guts" and best size 39mm with 47.5 lug to lug . I dont know why Longines Discontinued this model with the smaller size and only sell the 42-45 mm sized conquests now. I managed to grab one used will do a video of it once I get it back from servicing. Cheers Rob

[@Menachem59]

I have the blue 43 mm model. No lume. Applied indices as is also the white or silver variant. Super accurate. Have it for three years with no battery change. 300 meter water resistant. Very hefty. They have a great case back. I just wish that the hand hit all the markers right on. I've seen this watch in store windows that sometimes do that.

[@TheDesius]

Most people will probably disagree bit I think this is a better version of the Rolex Explorer. And then I'm not talking about the movement of course but I mean the design of the watch. The dial looks a bit cleaner, the bracelet looks nicer with the polishing and the crown of the Conquest makes it looks more rugged (without looking too "tooly")

[@THCgecko25]

I´m wearing 39mm conquest auto for 2 years now and I still haven´t decided about this :D On the one hand, conquest is simply perfect.. like you said, alternative to explorer for around one thousand is bargain... on the other hand, rolex will always be rolex. But will it be five times better than longi for that price? Barely

[@THCgecko25]

btw there is much more than just design.. also movement is going very strong (I have L888 with 64h reserve)... mine goes +- 1 sec per day!!! thats where sh*t starts to go hard :D you have to admit that it's at the rolex level... and don´t forget conquest is not even cosc certified :D

[@severnsea]

Kudos for Longines for producing different sizes. Normally the only choices are something like 36 and 40. I absolutely love this watch. I'm not a collector so I don't care if it's powered by steam, I'm perfectly happy with the quartz but I have a problem - The Tissot PRX quartz. The amount of polishing on the case and bracelet is great for a dress watch but a bit of a pain for an everyday watch. The Tissot has far more brushed steel which makes far more sense. And I can get a Tissot PRX quartz for about a third of the price. I'm not suggesting the Tissot is as desirable, but as much as I want the Longines I'm struggling to convince myself it's worth the considerable extra money.

[@eriktoth6002]

The Tissot is a perfect watch too, but if you Buy this, you get more water resistance, a more quaility feel. In my opinion, there are more desirable watches, like a Rolex Exploler.. but there are not any watch which is a more racional choice than this. I have this modell and this is my most perfect tool... i even feel this is not a tool, this is not a jewelry. This watch is a companion. I am sure, you can find a companion watch in the Tissot too, but remember this saying i heard: Every watch, which is cost more, than a 30€ casio is not rational. You buy it with your heart. Don't let food yourself, buy the one you like. At the end of the day, it is the only thing that matter: does your watch makes you happy or not? If you can afford the Longines, go for it in my opinion.

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

Just bought one on eBay but a 43mm!!! Couldn’t resist the price tag and could be a quick flip. Will be my first Longines. We’ll see if I trade up.

[@jwillwork3683]

[@carlosdelacadiz6658]

Longines is a great brand.

[@daveg7894]

Agreed. Great history, well priced in regards to brand value and good designs. I'm far from rich, but I could buy anomega or Rolex...but based on my income it's not very reasonable. A Longines, although expensive is something I can realistically save up for, buy, and wear it without being terrified of scuffing it.

[@robertspinks835]

Just looking at these this morning

[@EvgenijTs13]

I chose for daily wear Longines conquest vhp

[@bettersteps]

Longines is asking way too much for that quartz. Especially when you can get a better quality Citizen for way less, with more complications and Eco-Drive. Love the vids. Thanks.

[@Shino2600]

Emjay I agree as an owner of Eco- drive with perpetual calendars. Only thing is these designs are much cleaner and classic

[@Shino2600]

Leon you don’t fix them; you buy a new watch. Same if the circuits went on that Longines. The cost would outweigh a new watch

[@bettersteps]

IF you don't have to fix the circuits. Fixing the circuits is very rare. AND AFFORDABLE. I own several eco-drive Citizens and have only had to replace the band. I'm not worried about the circuits. Few, if any Citizen owners are..... just you.

[@edteach3r]

Quite attractive on your wrist, Rob. It is a pity that the seconds hand is so poorly aligned... so much for Swiss-made quality. For a daily watch, I actually like the lume layout.

[@catsupchutney]

Good for the prior owner, he used the watch.

Very useful review. I will consider to buy one as an everyday one-watch, wearable in any circumstances, just like an Explorer :-)

Good review, thanks you saved me £700. I ordered one of these but cancelled the order after seeing this review as no raised indices, terrible lume and butterfly clasp. Hydroconquest is better.

Sold my 43mm black Conquest automatic. This model wears very large and the 43mm looked monstrous on my 7.5" + wrist.

[@nemomilo333]

Hey, I am thinking of getting the same automatic version with black dial. Found it on Joma for $850 - not bad. I am debating between 43mm and 41mm, but now seeing that it appears to look larger than SKX (my SKX007 wears a little smaller for me), I might pull a trigger on 41. My wrist size is around 8 inch. Did you sell yours only because of its size, or was there something else?

[@tantu2395]

An accurate, good looking watch that for any occasion wearing.

[@goodjob6582]

Thanks for reviewing this watch. Very nice, but for a third less there's the Casio Oceanus.

[@oes2546]

A third less? Isn't the Oceanus approx. the same as this? Anyways, the Oceanus s100 or t200 seems so much better/more impressive in every aspect.

[@triples4good]

Well maybe a third is a little off. I have seen them for between 4 and 5 hundred dollars. A better watch in every way.

It’s so embarrasing with quartz watches that don’t hit the marks. At least a watch is a tool for measuring time. What’s the point with precision if the manufacturer ain’t able to make the seconds jump excactly 1° each second. A circle is 360°, and step motors are cheap. How damn hard could it be..? - They use laser to ensure precision on everything. It’s just as stupid having digital watches counting seconds partly and randomly, pretending that it hard science to counting each and every seconds precisely… So damn annoying sloppiness.. A watch is, above all, a measuring device… Longines looks cheaper that Tissot.
