5-Day Review of the Longines HydroConquest GMT.

After wearing the Longines HydroConquest GMT 43mm for 5 days, here’s my take:
it’s a fantastic blend of style, functionality, and everyday practicality with just a few minor quirks.

The 43mm size gives it a bold, sporty presence on the wrist, though it might feel big for smaller wrists. The blue sunray dial is stunning, with the color shifting beautifully in different lighting. The rubber strap is super comfortable and practical for active use, though it’s more sporty than formal. The overall look is versatile enough for casual wear but still sharp enough for the office.

The GMT function is straightforward and easy to use, perfect for tracking a second time zone. The red-tipped hand stands out nicely without cluttering the dial.

Over five days, the automatic movement has been incredibly accurate (only about +1 second per day). The 72-hour power reserve is great—I left it off for a day, and it didn’t stop.

The ceramic bezel is smooth to use, with precise clicks, and it’s scratch-resistant. While I haven’t gone diving, the 300m water resistance gives confidence for any water-related activities.

This watch feels solid and durable. The stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and ceramic bezel handle daily bumps effortlessly. The lume is bright and stays readable in complete darkness, making it practical for any environment.

Small Downsides

At 43mm, it’s a big watch—comfortable for me, but not ideal for smaller wrists.

The rubber strap is functional and sporty but limits how dressy the watch can look. Switching to a steel bracelet or leather strap would add versatility. It is still possible to buy an additional steel bracelet!

The GMT function works well but isn’t "true GMT" (the local hour hand doesn’t adjust independently). Not a dealbreaker but worth noting for GMT enthusiasts.

Final Thoughts

The Longines HydroConquest GMT is an excellent watch that combines toughness, accuracy, and great looks. It’s perfect for someone who needs a reliable travel watch or a sporty daily wearer. It’s not flawless, but for the price, it delivers serious value and a premium feel. I’ve enjoyed wearing it and look forward to putting it through more adventures!

Well done Longines and great Servixe from Christian’s Team!

I had the Samsung Watch 4 until now, the battery died after 2 years. With the Fenix 8, everyday life is much more fun, and the many personalization options are amazing. I can only recommend the watch.

The watch is beautiful and very original. Depending on the brightness it is even more sublime. Very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend it for all those who like this style. Two good discoveries: Bomberg and Christian uhrenschmuck24 whose services are excellent (deliveries, helpful, always answer questions). Thank you

It is very beautiful. It represents sporty elegance.

Very beautiful timepiece! A very captivating deep green!

Great thing... I'm still practicing but it does the job. 51mm is a brilliant size... and now I'm testing the battery life. Much better than the Apple Watch. I had that before... but the constant charging!!! I've had enough of that... that's why I bought it.

A light, comfortable watch that impresses with its simplicity. I like the design and the bracelet with the simple clasp, wonderful.

Upgraded from my previous Fenix 6s Pro to Fenix 8 43mm and happy so far. It was very easy to switch with Garmin App, and the watch does the job. Look forward to tracking even more activities!
