- Is the quartz HydroConquest worth it over the automatic?
- If you want a low-maintenance, accurate diver and don't care about mechanical movements, the quartz is the sensible pick. The automatic costs more and needs servicing, but it has the sweeping seconds hand and collector appeal the quartz lacks.
- Can I swim and dive with it?
- Yes. It is rated to 300m with a screw-down crown, which covers swimming, snorkeling and recreational diving. Rinse it in fresh water after saltwater use.
- Does the 42mm case fit smaller wrists?
- It wears large. Wrists under about 6.5 inches may find it top-heavy, so try it on if you can. The lug-to-lug span matters more than the diameter.
- How often does the battery need replacing?
- Quartz batteries typically last two to three years. Have a watchmaker do it so the caseback seal is checked and water resistance is preserved.
- What is in the box?
- You get the watch on its stainless steel bracelet, a Longines presentation box and paperwork. A spare battery is not included.
- Is the gold-tone version durable?
- Gold-tone plating on steel can wear at high-contact points over years of use. The steel-and-black version hides wear better if that concerns you.
