I'd say if you've shopping in the sub $2000 price range, the Hydro is easily one of the best options out there. Likewise for the sub $5000 range, you can say the same about the BB58.
The Longines wins. The quality is the same at half the price. The only differences are subjective style. The water resistance is superior with the Longines. The quality and precision of the movements are the same. Mine is well within COSC.
I like the Longines better. In this case I like the slightly more modern look vs. vintage. The price difference is the decider though in that I don't think the BB58 is worth the extra money, for me at least.
@@paulvon2378 better watch with aluminum bezel? lol. diver with poor readability? what's better in Tudor? Just to feel yourself a little bit Rolex guy or poor guy who can afford a Rolex, but wants the same look?)))
BB58 for me! I just prefer the vintage style design language coming from Tudor. I am currently shopping for the Longines Spirit Zulu, and this new Hydroconquest gives a nice alternative to that. I'm still gonna go with the Zulu, but this new Hydroconquest is a great option if you want something a little more modern
Funny how watch reviewers will complain or dismiss the date window claiming "they don't use it" but complain or criticize the turning bezel...yeah cuz I'm sure you'll use it while diving 🙄🙄🙄.... nobody uses the turning bezel on a watch this days, nobody!
I bought the Hydroconquest, for only a little over $1k…that’s less than a third of the price of the Tudor and it has been running perfectly….no contest, especially for the price.
You can find the BB58 used for under $3k all day now. I’d go for that over the Hydroconquest. I find the Longines boring and chunky, even if the quality is pretty good.
As an owner of both brands, I wear Longines more. But that might be an unfair comparison since it’s a Spirit Pilot. And the hydro conquest is the first watch that I have ever owned>traded away>and bought again. So there’s that. Price makes Longines more affordable while upgrading your collection nicely.
Tried both, then a new configuration for the hydroconquest showed up, black dial, green bezel, beige markers and hands, green nato strap. Tried it, and it felt better for me, the color way on hands and markers scratched that vintage itch and the quality was unrivaled for the price. So, Longines for me, so far.
Love my HC, it looks both classy with a redined dial and very masculine with the somewhere brutalist case. Didn't know I needed this comparison, but im a fan of the 58 as well! 😅 Couple of things I think were missed: Battle of the snowflake hands, who did it better? What size HC is that? (I can see it's 41 but I don't think you said and it's not in the description anywhere). Sized weights would have also been useful if the HC is blowing out with a lot of spare links. I think it's just a heavy watch btw, mine on rubber is in the 120-130g range. Does the new gmt bracelet fit the old HC? Ok that one is just for me haha. Always enjoy your reviews of the HC, you showcase it well and shine a good light on it!
I really love Longines but the Hydroconquest wouldn't be my choice. I just feel the 6, 9 and 12 numerials are too overbearing. Conversely, I like the BB but when I've tried it, it feels a bit dull on the wrist. You have to respect Longines for putting out such a good watch at that price. So neither for me (along I loved watching your comparison) but if forced to choose, I would probably just edge to the Longines.
I really think the Longines HydroConquest reminds me ALOT of my 2011 Breitling SuperOcean. Applied numerals at the same locations...I have zero complaints of my HydroConquest.
Hard to compare the two as one is half the price of the other and on the way out. It would be better to compare BB to new Hydroconquest GMT as they both in the same price range - which is what Longines is aiming for with offering more features for the same price as Tudor.
I have been looking around for a while and finally purchased the Longines in 43 mm with a ceramic bezel. For the price and value it was just so hard to beat.
Tge movement in tge hydroconquest is wonderful, the bracelet itself sucks. Also tge case is razor sharp literally. Lol. Highly recommend the mido ocean star 200 Ceramic. Better bracelet with ratcheting clasp high polished beveled lugs and edges on bracelet are high polished not too mention the ratcheting clasp. And cheaper than a hydroconquest.
The bezel sound thing always gets me. Does anyone else out there love to go fishing and find these clickity click sounds rather similar to fishing reels?
Both so beautiful. I own longines hc it’s already 9 years and right now it had the first assistance. I own also the bb58s&g 41 mm but this simple smaller version is 🔥 😮 they both magical
You are comparing Orange Vs Apple. Longines is good with other competitors concerning that price level. Tudor Black Bay is completely in a different league. I believe better comparison would be between Tudor Black Bay Vs Longines Zulu Time.
I do not think that you can wrong with either watch but for me I'd go for the lower priced of the two, I just cannot see paying large sums of money for a watch when there are COUNTLESS other comparable options with comparable quality and function. I like the crown guard on the Longines but wish that they a bit smaller but overall I think it's a better looking watch.
love Longines, but this is an entry level Longines vs Tudors ride or die flagship model. Value=HYDRO Better=BB58. Start comparing a Zulu or Spirit and that's a very comparable matchup.
The Longines watch looks so much better to me. The Tudor is nice, but once you're up in that ~$5K range, you might as well just put down the deposit and wait for the Roley. Tudor is kind of in a weird no mans land in that sense.
The problem with watches is that you never have enough of them. After my first Tag Heuer I have spent over 26000€ on watches. But I am not ready to stop yet. The Hydroconquest is as good as the Omega Aquaterra and the Harrods Tudor. They all keep the correct time. However I like the Tudor because it doesn’t have the date window. It is so booring to change the date. On the Seikos where there is the day also. And the retro look of the dial is classic
Stoppp!!! don't hype up Longines before i buy the models i want lol. They've been knocking it out of the park lately. And i'm worried if they become more popular the prices will go up. You can scoop up the hydroconquest on the gray market for like $1250-1300. The spirit Zulu time gmt is also sexy AF. BUt more expensive
The Tudor BB’s in my opinion are massively overrated,the whole brand is so focused on the BB that they have taken their eye off the ball in regard to innovation. Longines have really been leading the way in regard to their spirit,Hydroconquest models over past couple of years. The fact Tudor have the audacity to charge almost double the price for a model that has less water resistance, no date function and no availability of different sizes is pretty comical actually. However you then remember they are owned by Rolex - and suddenly it all makes sense.
I can't get over the fact that the Hydroconquest has a lume dot and a number at 9 o'clock but no lume dot at the 6 o'clock position, it drives me crazy! Skip the lume dot on the 9 o'clock position just like you did at 6 Longines!
I bought the HC 41mm green face and green rubber strap and the store I bought it from price matched a sale watch for £1275. I am sorry but for a saving over just over 2k the Longines wins hands down to me.
I have the 39mm Longines on my wrist as I type. The Tudor is probably the better watch. But when you factor cost-to-value ratio, Longines is the winner.
The longines does nothing for me and i own the bb58. Price comparison is stupid as that's like claiming the 58 is a better watch than a sub. Yes it's a fraction of the price but obviously the 58 is better than the longines and the sub better than the 58. Comparing apples to oranges
I really wanted to like the hydroconquest. In hand it looks odd and the goody numerals make it looks cheapo. The BB58 is so refined, well made, and will age much better. As to the thick bracelet of the Longines, that is never a benefit.
There’s no way to justify the 2x price tag of BB58. Even despite the price, I’d go for the Longines: Looks Sharper, Ceramic Bezel, is Distinct and not retro version of some higher watch - ahem Submariner.
Just compare with Hydroconquest and BB58, I vote for Hydroconquest . Because of the price and outlook. Function is Longines win due to the date. The movement is Tudor win because of COSC cert. But the Tudor is twice the price.
The Tudor is nice but too similar to the sub, Longines wins it for me, plus the movement is better and for the price range its worth it and ALUMINIUM bezel? That's insane
Both brands have size issues. One brand is always picking weird lug to lug sizes and then other is too thick. It comes down to price. Longine has a great price and design. Not many people would buy that watch so you onow it is a steal. Then there is Tudor which has the hype and the Rolex name. Either way you can't go wrong.
Thai is not a fair comparison. Tudor black bay is $4000 and Longines is $1300. Tudor is more expensive and has more quality. This like you comparing Rolex submariner with Tudor black bay!!!!!
For me, it’s a no- brainer Chisholm: The Tudor Black Bay is just a loose replica of the Rolex Submariner. So for that matter, but the original model. Longines is clearly the choice for me.
Longines all day. If I'm spending my money, the Longines wins on value alone. The watches comp out similar and the Longines is more versatile. No way is the BB58 twice the watch as the Longines.

Agreed
Yes.
Seiko?

Seiko is one of the worst value for money brands. The opposite of Longines.

I have both. They are both beautiful watches
Without any questions 🎉 Longines
I got the Longines yesterday. Green ceramic bezel. Black dial. Green Nato strap.
I will probably buy the same. What do you think about the colors after 2 months? Thx
Longines for me, I found the Tudor didn't wear quite as nice. I think the Tudor had a pvd bezel too? Longines is ceramic.
Lol... mentioned in the video, but... I am a longines fan :)
When the hydroconquest gets the new clasp (from the GMT) as well as a cosc raiting.. it will be mine .

Well I bought them both over the last few months and it’s safe to say this video is responsible for this🤣
the finishing on the tudor is obviously better. but does it justify the 2x price tag. not sure
Better bracelet, movement, brand and more refined overall design make the price difference worth it. Find a BB58 lightly used and it’s a great value.
Longines is an amazing watch every watch enthusiast would love to own

Don’t understand why the black bay doesn’t have a date prefer it to the longines but no date!?

Longines>Tudor
Considering they're both so similar in specs but such a huge price gap...
The Longines Hydroconquest wins 😊.
I've always thought the BB was a hideous looking watch so Longines all day for me in this one
Thoughts decision -Longines is nice and with the greatest value/cost ratio, si my head says it’s the best… but my heart thinks it’s the Tudor 😢

Yes it has a better clasp and lume but that's it, everything else the longines is better, including the movement, the bb is technically a cheaper sub
Can’t deal with the wide hands with shallow depth. Reminds me of fashion watches and certain tissots of a significantly lower price point.
The date window on the Longines ruins the symmetry of the dial.
ZZZZzzzzzz……
For me, it’s a no- brainer Chisholm: The Tudor Black Bay is just a loose replica of the Rolex Submariner. So for that matter, but the original model. Longines is clearly the choice for me.
that hydroquest is the 41 not the 39mm. It seems to me that the 39 looks better proportioned in the bezel/dial ratio
I don’t know what people in the comments are comparing things. Buy both! Problem solved.
imagine, a Hydroconquest with "white dial" AND ceramic bezel.

The Tudor is gorgeous, but the Longines punches far above what the price would suggest.
BB58 is in my opinion the best and more versatile watch ever made...
Definitely Tudor!
I get it.... so I bought both. Red bezel Hydro and Burgundy Héritage Tudor
The 39mm HC is actually 12.2mm thick
Longines Hydroconquest is the king of value divers but I would still pay the extra for the BB58 I have owned both
