I purchased the same 39mm in blue a few months ago and I love it. It was my daily watch for a couple months until it went into a rotation, I feel bad if I neglect to wear my other watches. I chose it because after doing my research, it was by far the best value for money considering what I was looking for; ceramic bezel, screw down crown, 40mm or under and from a Swiss brand with heritage. The 39mm fits perfectly (in my opinion) on my 6 1/4" wrist. As stated in most reviews, the negatives are the polished center links but I enjoy the shine of them even if they are scratch magnets. The other negative is the "cheap" clasp, which after wearing for months, I do not mind. The watch will show it's use, but I wear it and love it. Highly recommend.
I love this watch . I’ve had one for over 2 years . I was a big watch obsessive, I’ve tried so many divers Oris , Tag Aquaracer, 3 different Seamasters, etc . One day I just woke up and sold them all and settled on the Hydroconquest. I’m no longer a watch obsessive and it’s been my daily driver ever since lol
@@welcomewrist To be honest it was one of the first Swiss divers that I owned . Overall it’s a fine watch but I found it to be more tool and less versatile then other Divers like the Hydroconquest, some aquaracers , black bay, seamaster , etc. This was a few years ago but I didn’t keep it long and I took a loss . I went from the Aquis to a aquatacer and I kept the Tag a lot longer . I might be the wrong person to ask because overall the Aquis really didn’t connect with me . I would say try it on in person if you can.
As a fellow hydroconquest owner, I'm suprised by the play and relative looseness of the bezel It's not a big deal, but I have seikos with better-fitted bezels! Glad to know my hydroconquest isn't the only one with this problem.
Beautiful! This is about the top price I'd ever pay for a watch and it seems like quite a good "bang for the buck." Great video. Thanks for addressing the on-screen vs. real-life colors. I was wondering about that.
Amazing watch. Not oversized and it gives so a luxury look. Favorite colorcombination for me. And i totally agree with the box feeling, those watches are not cheap so you expect a matched luxury box! 😁
Smaller numbers on the dial, fully brushed links, better clasp with on the fly adjustment, no date variant and this would check all the boxes for the price.
Go with the Tissot sea star 1000 automatic it’s a terrific watch. I currently on it in the Sunburst blue dial along with PRX automatic. I could not agree more third 2000 was Just Way too big for me but you will find the seastar 1000 is perfect at least in my opinion.
question .i v bought the same 39mm hydroconquest Blue dial ceramic automatic from Longines. i m a bit confused. is the lume supposed to be blue or green . my lume s not as luminous and it is green. , not blue. i paid the full amount $ 1755 us currency n came along with warranty card.
I purchased it from someone, but you should be able to find these at any Longines AD. I'm sure you could even purchase it straight from the Longines website.
Three fun facts That oversized crown and guards represent the Longines logo. Hour glass and wings are the oldest unchanged continuous logo in the world. Mido for 1000$ literally rapes this model,Longines braclet and clasp are hideous for 1700$ while Mido has maybe pound to pound the best braclet and clasp on the market.
Don’t care it’s a luxury watch that’s nearly a tank. I work as a Mason and my watch is fine and still looking new after couple years wearing it everyday and also much more well known than a mido 😂
