GoodI find it to be extremely well built considering its price and adds a few extras such as a blue tint on the hands which makes it looks rather nice. It is rather accurate and I've compared the timing to an atomic clock and after 1 weeks its still on par. I also have the IWC Davinci Perpetual and I think that the self winding mechanism on this Longines is much more "slipperier" than the DaVinci because on little flip keeps the winder going and going. I find the Davinci stop after a few weeks probably because of this reason: that it doesn't wind as easy. I think this watch maybe one of the best value for its features especially after comparing to the Jaeger Master Calender Stainless which has list price of >$10,000. It looks better than the Jaeger, has a chronograph, and I assume it also has a slipperier winding mechanism than that of the Jaeger (mainly because Jaeger and IWC are owned by the same company).BadThe alligator strap can be made more beautifulIt is harder to slide the strap into its holder than the IWCCannot not see the hands in the dark or its easy to confuse the long hand and the date hand in the dark. Wish it had some kind of florescence

If you are looking for a watch that looks like a million, but costs thousands. Has about as many complications that you can fit into 40.0 mm, can wear with Jeans or a Suit, then this is the watch. It is easy to use. Figuring out the Moon phase is easy. It is really a beauty, better than the internet pics on Amazon. I love these new leather straps with the deployment buckle. Leather will last longer and will look much better. Keeps as accurate a time as most automatic Longines, which is pretty darn good (no! not an Omeaga!) but I have a passion for Longines, they make really great watches, both in design and mechanics. I give this watch a 5. Buy it! You won't be dissapointed! Lots going on in a 40mm space but can still see the time, day, month and date! And chronograph to boot! Now that's a watch!

I received this product last night and am in love with this. I've been looking for a timepiece for nearly 10 years as I principally use my iPhone for time and don't like a lot of jewelry but the look, versatility, quality, and functionality of this watch compelled me to buy it after trying to find the right match. Let's hope that buying watches is not like getting a tattoo in that I now need to get 10 more...

One of best watches in my collection!Strongly recommended!

I purchased a Longines Master Collection men's watch in 2007. Since then, the watch stopped working four times because dirt is getting in the mechanism because of a defective cover or seal design. The watch stopped working in 2010 and required about $400 repair because "dust and dirt had collected in the mechanism and needed cleaning". The watch stopped to work for the same reason in 2011 and 2012 again, and required each time repairs costing around $400. When it stopped to work again in Nov 2013, i contacted Swatch Group (Longines' parent company), sent the watch to them for inspection, and suggested that the watch is obviously defective, that something must be wrong with the design of the cover or the seal allowing dust or dirt to get in the mechanism requiring expensive repairs once a year. In response, Swatch Group sent me a bill totaling $438.00, failing to even mention that dirt had again collected in the watch mechanism. When i protested in writing, Swatch Group offered a 15% discount on the repair bill, still not acknowledging the defective seal or cover. In essence, Swatch Group has refused to take responsibility for a defective product.

Always wanted to own a Longines and was excited when I picked up my L2.673.4.78.5 at a international airport duty free 4 months ago (Authentic, paid full price, have a certificate of warranty and serial number) Wore it a couple of times but found that the watch stops if I do not wear it for more than 12 hours. Am disappointed and will call Longines to return the watch.

I love it
