What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Longines MASTER COLLECTION

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its excellent finishing and value, with specific mentions of beautiful dials featuring engraved Breguet numerals and blued hands. The movement offers a 72-hour power reserve, and the classical design is noted as versatile. Some owners report the bracelet lacks sufficient micro-adjustment options for a precise fit, and one owner experienced a broken moon phase setting mechanism requiring service. The Master Collection Annual Calendar has 30m water resistance, considered light by one reviewer. Overall, the consensus is that owners and reviewers rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its exceptional value and refined finishing.

From video reviewers

The watch has a strong wrist presence and comfort. The movement accuracy is also a notable feature, delivering luxury value at its price point.

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
