- Is the Longines HydroConquest good for swimming?
- Yes. It is rated to 300m with a screw-down crown, so swimming and snorkeling are well within its limits. Rinse it with fresh water after saltwater use.
- Does it have a sapphire crystal?
- Yes. The crystal is sapphire, which resists everyday scratches far better than mineral glass.
- Is the movement automatic?
- Yes. It uses a Swiss automatic movement, so it winds itself as you wear it and has a date function. It stops after roughly a day or two off the wrist and needs resetting.
- How does it compare with the Tudor Black Bay or Omega Seamaster?
- It offers the same 300m rating and sapphire crystal for less, but the bracelet, clasp and bezel finishing are a step below those watches. It is the value pick of the three.
- What size is the case?
- The case is 41mm across, a mid-size diver that suits most wrists. Try it on if you have a wrist under about 6.5 inches, since the case is fairly thick.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, plus the Longines warranty card and instruction manual. A presentation box is included.
