In this video, I go hands-on to review the new Longines Conquest 38mm everyday watch. Listening to enthusiasts, Longines has followed up last year's successful release of the Conquest 2023 in 41mm with a new case diameter and lug-to-lug measurement that will better suit the masses. Is there a better everyday watch for around $2,000?

@RedwoodAggie 28 дней назад

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 28 дней назад

@chrisfleming5869 22 дня назад

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.

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 😂
