Russ, please take what I'm about to say as a compliment. I used to watch other wristwatch channels, and would occasionally see your videos come up in the feed and instantly dismiss them as "look at this plank, trying to be all whacky"... but how wrong I was. After a specific model forcing me to watch one of your videos, I think you are great. The character's, the wife, the humour, but all with great production values and genuine short and sweet good knowledge about the watches without turning it into a pretentious half hour monologue...well, I truly look forward to every one of your videos. I really appreciate what you do buddy 👍

I own the GMT in blue and it’s amazing. The bezel isn’t great and the fact that they have AR coating on the outside is a little irritating but everything else about it is fantastic!! It kicks the crap out of any other watch in its price range and mine has been running at +2 to +3 seconds a day even tho it’s not Cosc certified.

I’ve just bought the 41mm hydro conquest in green with a matching rubber strap was £1700 however Goldsmiths price matched the watch from another company that was having a sale for £1275. For the money the watch knocks all others out of the park. The 41mm hydro conquest is the way to go and such an amazing watch for the money. Nice one Longines.

That way it is not a glass sandwich and makes it more durable and thinner. The slower movement is a good choice because it makes it more lasting. My favourite watch of all time for sure! 🎉

I've owned a blue Hydroconquest for around 8 years, it's the original one with a sunburst blue dial and the aluminium bezel insert. I love it and I actually like the large numbers which seem to put many off. The real shame here is how much Longines have increased their prices. I paid less than half of the current RRP for mine, not online, it came from an authorised dealer, with the full 'buying from a showroom' experience. The beautiful deeply engraved caseback on my model seems nicer quality than the current ceramic bezel version and also makes the new GMT etched job look very cheap indeed! Still love the brand though and pricey though they may have become they're not quite as overpriced as some other manufacturers with less heritage.

I have the Zulu Time with black face and green bezel. It is a stunner. And I will say that of all of my mechanical watches, it keeps the best time of all of them. The finish on it is very nice. The Hydroconquest is a good looking watch, but I like the looks of other divers more. But that green color is quite nice. Longines has a lot of really nice designs and they will not break the bank compared to a lot of other Swiss brands.

Not sure if someone said it, but 3.5 hz is supposedly swatch group regulation for their antimagnetic movements. Don’t think it’s ISO mandated and feels totally unnecessary. Omega do it too. But swatch are big on slowing down their movements. Like the powermatic 80. Would 100% prefer to see a smoother sweep than a longer power reserve every time

I agree Longines is killing it. But, I think they are pushing their pricing up a little too aggressively. If they're competing head to head with Tudor on quality and price; I'm not sure it won't hurt sales. Just to be clear I have 2 Longines Spirits and 3 Tudors and I love them all equally. As it stands the Longines resale on the secondary market is not as strong as Tudor and elevated MSRP will only mean a bit more pain on the secondary market. 😢

Longines like many Swiss brands have been creeping up in price and whilst these watches have kept the value for money against other Swiss watches that have also been going up, there’s so much choice out there now. For example, the Lorier Hydra, a divers, true GMT, or the Hydra Zulu which is more military looking. And who needs 300m water resistance anyway? The deepest scuba dive ever was 332m down, and only a handful of people have ever dived below 200m. It’s bravado codswallop!

As someone not burdened by the small wrist curse, I prefer the Tudor BB GMT. When you are spending over 3k for a watch the bit extra for the tudor is not that big of a deal. The diver on the other hand is rather lovely for the price, but a bit small at 39mm. If it has to be longines for some reason, the zulu time would be the much better watch for me, instead of either of the two.

Great vid! The watch…the 19mm/21mm spec is more than just annoying at the price point. Having fun with swapping straps is a good part of the fun I have with my collection. I’m too “invested” in 20mm (and 22mm) straps for the keeper watches I already love to really consider shelling out to maintain multiple sets. Maybe I’ll get the cash or patience to get over that someday, but for now that particular dimension carries a lot of weight for me.

I like the "heritage" of Longines, but cant help but feel that for the money they're asking there are better finished watches with solid cosc movements that will still be able to be serviced even if the company goes breasts vertical. Formex Reef. £1701.26 with cosc certified Sellita SW300-1, BGW9 Super-LumiNova, and 300m water resistance, oh and it's 11mm thick. Christopher Ward C60 Tide, 600m water resistance, Cosc certified Sellita SW200 £1150. CW C60 pro 300, cosc sellita sw200 £1070, plus I'm sure there are many others from various microbrands that have a reputation for their finishing. Can't accept sharp edges on a bracelet at anything North of £1000.

I've always like the LOOK of the Conquest and Hydroconquest (especially the teal dial they had years ago). The newer GMT style looks more "standard" and boring to me (without a name on it I might think it is a Kamasu) - at first glance you don't know it is a Longines.

As much as I love these Longines divers, my Tissot Seastar 2000 out-specs both of them by quite a margin, well, as a dive watch anyway. It doesn't have a GMT function but since I don't ever use the GMT function, I just don't care...LOL

@@eggsII Powermatic 80 is worthless anyway. If you care about good movement Ultrachron has a 5Hz movement in it that is rated to go +/-1 sec per day. 43mm is a bit too big for me though....
