So for some reason I have a soft spot for Longines Watches. Not sure why but they have always struck my fancy. Anyone have any recommendations for the line or if the older ones are better than the newer ones? Just starting to seriously look into getting one and want other perspectives.

Here is a running watch thread....

Thanks will ask over there as well.

Solid watches. Have owned a few, currently own one as well. Good price point too.

Longines watches sit in a great spot for quality you get out of the watch, at a "reasonable" price compared to the competition. Quality wise they swing above other watches in same price bucket and the new refresh has a lot of really clean looking designs they are rolling out.

If you are not too concerned with getting a brand new watch, you can often get them pretty discounted used through Chrono24, or local watch shops. Else find a local AD and go try some on. Don't pay MSRP on them either, you can get 5-10% discounts most places in person if they know you are a serious buyer and are in person.

Just find what type of watch you are looking for, dive, GMT, field, etc and jump off from there.
