On balance, owners find the Edox 1973 Chronograph to be a well-built watch for its price point, with the primary concern being the limited lume.
Owners widely praise the Longines HydroConquest PVD for its beautiful appearance, solid build, and unique design that stands out from other divers, with many finding it a desirable alternative to higher-end dive watches at a lower price point. Some owners report excellent accuracy, with one noting it loses only about 2 seconds a day, while others find the lume faint and the bracelet clasp could offer more micro-adjustments. One owner questions the durability of the PVD coating. On balance, owners rate the Longines HydroConquest PVD highly for its satisfying luxury diver feel and beautiful design at the price.
