anything close to or below price range is objectively inferior. Seiko spb - **** quality. Longines hydroconquest - ugly af (imo) and worse finishing quality

Then you get to sinn 104, imo it's not worth the price (which they increased again last month!) considering it has the same movement and no ceramic bezel and apparently some qc issues - also the bracelet is ****. Also has AR coating on the outside of the crystal.

Then you get to oris aquis - beautiful watch, but no on-the-fly quick adjust and i dont like the visual effect of a sunburt dial

tudor bb58 - aluminum bezel, deal breaker for me. and its too small.

Omega seamaster pro - the new ones are too thick and look chunky to me, don't like the AR coating on the outside and skeleton hands. Also they only beat at 3.5hz which is a deal breaker for me. 4hz is a minimum for me, and no way id pay that price for a watch that beats less. I hate tiktok and i hate ticky watches. Hell Ideally I'd like a 5hz watch.

Rolex submariner - dream watch if you can get it. though i wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it regularly, only for special occassions.

So for me the cw c60 300 is the ultimate GADA watch

I've got the 38mm black dial version and it hasn't been off my wrist. It pairs well with pretty much every strap I have and the new tapered bracelet looks great.

The only thing i'd change about the watch is not having a date window.

My first C60 300 comes as the CW Aficionados Solaris watch: I agree that the model is a gem: slim case, detailed, light-catcher polishing. Yes you could be right but be you right or be you wrong, just continue to enjoy your watch.

I totally agree....
Why would you want one of the most important movements of our generation when you can get an off the shelf Selitta.....
That.5 hz is a complete game changer.....
I'm not joking when I say......SERIOUSLY!?!?

There are many who take the view that 3Hz is sufficient…

Invariably folk with good taste.

I have a Longines Hydro Conquest and I just used as my beach/swim watch on Maui during my recent vacation. The fit and finish is really nice af.

Sure the movement is nice, but the 0.5 less hz isn't the only reason I gave.

The c60 300 is as good as watches that cost 5000$ or more and much better than the hydroconquest

@Legore I always like to understand whether the watches that are being compared by someone, are based upon personal experience of ownership, or at minimum having handled and tried on the watches in question. Or whether they are views that the person has come to by reading what someone else on the internet has stated.

Perhaps you could help me out and explain which category you are in, for each of the watches that you have name checked?

Perhaps some FMO about the HydroConquest?

I can understand the opinion. It's a couple of mm slimmer than it's big brother, and has a nice slim bezel. My favourite version would be the white dial.
