What people say

Longines CONQUEST

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Longines CONQUEST for its high-quality finishing, versatile design, and exceptional value, with many highlighting its comfortable wearability and solid build. Accuracy figures are generally positive, with one owner reporting +1/+2 seconds per day.

One owner also mentioned the crown rubbing against the wrist. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Longines CONQUEST highly for its blend of elegant design and robust build at an accessible price point.

From video reviewers

The perfectly balanced case size is a key strength of the Longines Conquest. A notable weakness is the somewhat lacking lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on the ideal case size, with one preferring 38mm and the other 39mm.

Owners widely praise the Zelos Thresher 44, with one owner noting its finish has proven remarkably scratch-resistant. However, one owner found the finishing on their hammered grey variant not as well done as expected. The Zelos Thresher 44 with an agate dial sold out in 90 seconds, with one owner receiving theirs and noting the bracelet was fully wrapped. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Thresher 44 highly for its desirability and scratch-resistant finish.
