Here is a review from Teddy Baldassarre:

Review

My Opinion, They are good to go.





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

My $.02?
Longines are great, solid watches.
The price is around the “entry level” for “high end” watches. Great movement and a nice, classic look to them.
For the Wife, even you: Excellent choice!

For me, it wouldn’t be my EDC watch, just because Im rough on watches; like I bang my stuff up if I’m not paying attention. That said, I’d have zero problem with one as a dress watch!

Welp, I've got to send my SMP300 back in to Omega, I guess. I had it serviced in 2020, got it back in July or so, but it has completely stopped. I wear it daily but I leave it at home for certain camping, hunting, and working trips so I don't beat it up. After a couple such trips this summer I wonder if I overwound it getting it back going each time. The first time I wound it and wore it but it was losing time so I wound it more. The next time, I wound it more to start. The power reserve was getting lower and lower.

I really don't want to spend another $600 only four years after the last time.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

I’m dual wielding today. Big Grin

This Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is quite impressive for a solar smart watch. It has a bigger battery than my old Instinct 2 Solar. It also utilizes
a more efficient solar charging system compared to the earlier Instinct 2. This smart watch will last over a month without having to be plugged in to recharge.

I own a lot of watches. This Garmin would be one of the last remaining in my collection if I had to sell most of my collection.

It’s actually got me considering a major downsize for the collection since I wear this bright red watch at work and while I ride.

Garmin is a bit loud for me, but that Seiko is quite nice

If I were in your shoes, I might try to find a really nice vintage Longines.
