What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Longines ELEGANT COLLECTION

The Longines Elegant Collection is widely appreciated for its value and the complications offered at its price point. However, some owners find the case finishing could be improved, and certain variants are noted as being thick with sub-dials that can be difficult to read. On balance, owners view the Longines Elegant Collection as a satisfying watch, particularly for its value and complications.

Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz

Owners praise the Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz for its attractive design, historical significance, and comfortable 38.5mm size, with some appreciating its meca-quartz movement. The watch features a hesalite crystal and Seiko VK63 movement, measuring 10.3mm thin and 46mm lug to lug. Some owners note sharp edges on the case and a strap that feels cheap, though others find the strap acceptable and consider it a great summer watch. Opinions are split on the necessity of the 24-hour subdial, and concerns have been raised about the price and customer support. On balance, owners rate the Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz highly for its appealing vintage-inspired look and accessible price point.
