I understand your frustration, especially if you have bigger size wrists, but I think the new size makes it look more elegant.

@timepieceofart still, it's getting a bit out of hand. I got an 8.5" wrist and even the latest G-Shock DW series won't fit. The band's not long enough wtf

I think seiko is still ahead of Citizen when it comes to quality of the affordable diversified

It’s not the easiest to read in low light, true, i think because of the black sub dials.

The LX line is definitely another level.

If you can afford it, go with the automatic. The movement is great and you won't regret the waffle dial🙂

Thanks mate

There is no specific information indicating that the caliber 8210 contains plastic parts

Couldn't agree more. Enjoy your new watch

I agree, the bracelet is not the most comfortable on the Longines. Slight taper would make this watch much more comfortable.

You are not able to set a timer, you will have to use the stopwatch as one

If both watches were same price, i would go PRX

@ Does the Tsuyosa movement also have plastic parts?

Least used watch complication in my opinion

I couldn't agree more, very underestimated brand with great history and quality watches

Not gonna lie, it is a big watch, but i really love it. Thanks for watching and the good words, i really appreciate it.

We are on the same page😀

I would probably say "slightly" better🙂

I have the same experience with the movement and also a lot of people on Reddit share the same thing. I guess certifying it would cost more, so at this price, it is an absolute steal :)

I feel the same, the movement is killing this watch.

The ceramic bezel is a nice upgrade, and I love the less busy dial on the newer models, but personally, couldn't justify the extra 400$. Plus i really love the red tip on the second hand :) What color do you have, the green dial variant is great looking

If i am not wrong, SLA are much more expensive than the Hydroconquest

Thanks mate, i appreciate it. I consider some prospex pieces to be entry level luxury, but I agree, GS is the real luxury Seiko.

You pretty much summarize my review :)

Seiko is entry level. Longines is higher up, even luxury tier. I wouldn’t feel proud wearing a Seiko

@@HotSauceStain What a lot of nonsense.

@@PepRex Seiko fanboys are upset. Stop being cheap.

@HotSauceStain An extremely poor attempt at trolling.

Why do you think so, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Hydroconquest

@@timepieceofart I had a 2019 Ceramic bezel. Terrible, awful clasp, designed by a committee, too heavy, rough crown guards that hurt top of my palm, it's basically Swatch Group's Seamaster for cheap people. SPB is miles ahead.

I couldn't agree more, the movement makes this watch hard to recommend. On the other side, the proportions and overall look is perfect for my wrist size

Why do you think so, what other diver would you suggested in this price range?

What draws you towards Seiko, i like the Longines more, in terms of quality and history.

Thank you for your support, enjoy your watch, i love them both, but i lean slightly towards the Longines 🙂

The stated numbers of the SPB are tested and are correct, honestly if you dont wear your watch every day and wind it 2 or 3 times per week, 25 sec per day are not a big deal 🙂

I prefer the Hydroconquest

You letting the 143 go then ?​@@timepieceofart

Thanks mate

Absolutely stunning watch, Longines made all the necessary upgrades like better bezel insert, better crown guards and bracelet taper. What color do you have, i love the green variant 🙂

@@timepieceofart the black dial, black rubber strap.. The best one

I agree, the SPB is definitely a looker, although after a while the Hydroconquest kinda grow on me 🙂

The Conquest looks like someone from another planet designed a dive watch by hearing us talk about them. What diver needs huge 3, 6, and 9s?

Huh i think that the Seiko is bland & boring looking the Conquest is more appealing to me, love the. Umbers, logo, and hands but I do wish that they would remove the triangles on the side.

What is your preferred choice in this price range ? Honestly, in terms of looks, i can't find better looking diver than the spb143 for around 1000$.

@@timepieceofart I think there would be hundreds as there are just some things I don't accept aesthetically. For the Seiko it's the flat endlinks; the cut out for them is disgusting. And for the Longines it's the horrendous date window and the crown guards. Those crown guards just do not work with a more traditional case shape. Also, for the Longines, the case size to lug-to-lug is out of kilter.

The end links on the SPB are a crime😀The crown guards on the new hydro gmt are really well designed, they would look great on the regular hydro

The SPB143 is maybe one of the most popular seiko's in recent years, definitely gaining its iconic status, but in terms of quality, i think the Hydroconquest is a notch above

Longines is probably the best value for money watch brand. High quality Swiss watches with heritage that are consistently <$3000. Seiko is great and definitely great value for money also

Longines is just god quality. I love mine, I feel amazing wearing it

You see i think the complete opposite, the Seiko’s looks are bland, boring and like so many others. I love the numbers, logo and hands of the hydro conquest.

@@msk3905 Well, it would be great to see how many spb and hydro sold a year.

You’re absolutely right, and as much as I love Seiko, their higher price points can be tough to justify compared to Swiss brands. Swiss watches in the $700-$2000 range generally offer better finishing, movements, and overall quality.

I think the spb143 is better looking and more versatile with the modern yet vintage look. The Longines though is better made, better movement and more accurate, great vid :)

Thank mate, i really appreciate it. Do you own any of these?

@timepieceofart I have the 143 it slowly grew on my then I realised suddenly realised loved it I know if sell would regret at some point in the future. I looked at the longines and really like it but think a little to flashy for me especially the polished centre link etc. Both fantastic watches though:)

I get that comment from a lot of people, i also think 38mm would make this watch extra classy
