Longines is swatch group and FC is owned the citizen group.
If those are your only choices. Get the Longines. |

Longines has historical relevance. FC Is the new kid on the block in comparison, if that's relevant to you. I own a model from both.

Have you thought of Tudor?
I own an FC chronograph, which I like. It's a panda dial Peking to Paris, limited edition. I don't think you could go wrong with Longine either.

I vote Longines, but would also go Oris in this price bracket.

Love Longines and think they have some of the most classic and underrated watches out there. A few on my shopping list for sure.
Here’s a recent release on my radar considering you’re looking for a chronograph Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Longines is a good pick.
But if a manufacture movement is important to you then FC has some value for money pieces in their arsenal! Btw which two pieces are you specifically after? Share photos. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Quality wise they’re about the same. Although the base ebauche used by Longines is quite proven in the watch world.
There’s a lot to choose from in that price point. |

Which two chrono's are you looking at? I don't think it's hugely significant which brand you pick, they are both respectable. Pick the watch you are most drawn too. There are several pieces in both that I really like.

Tudor? I won't. Buy the way, what is the model of FC in your wrist? It's look good, vintage looks.

Longines Bigeye, FC runabout chrono, FC healey. It's quite difficult to make a decision.

I like them both, but I’d probably go Longines just because they have more that suit my personal taste.
I like the Big Eye. Have you seen their new 2020 Spirit Chrono? Looks like a great daily, too. |

Dont waste your time with federique constant. My brother purchased 2 watches and instantly returned them. Very low quality and cheaply made.
Longiness has a rich history and makes some nice pieces with a solid price point

Definitely Longines. The brand has great history and, while I like a lot of Frederique Constant's offerings, I find Longines to be among the best value in watches in their price range with reliable movements and great looks and quality.

Best to compare watches. Not brands.
Would recommend the Longines Complete Calendar Chronograph. |
