Want to have your comment and suggestion, which brand name of chronograph much popular and higher grade between Frederique Constant and Longines? Thanks all your comments.

ELLimon · 21 August 2020, 03:25 AM

Longines is swatch group and FC is owned the citizen group.

If those are your only choices. Get the Longines.

I want to have a daily chrono, and the price of these brands are much reasonable and cheaper, thz Ellimon.

Another vote for Longines.

alphadweller · 21 August 2020, 04:15 AM

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.

Aspirin · 21 August 2020, 05:56 AM

Votes not so much, but the votes lean toward Longines. Ok, thz all your suggestions!

GradyPhilpott · 21 August 2020, 06:25 AM

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.

The Joker · 21 August 2020, 06:29 AM

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

VK1984 · 21 August 2020, 07:29 AM

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

Probably Longines in this situation.

mikea · 21 August 2020, 10:03 AM

Longines

alpharulez · 21 August 2020, 10:39 AM

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.

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.

Pongster · 21 August 2020, 12:12 PM

Longines Complete Calendar Chronograph

LOWERCASE GUY · 22 August 2020, 07:42 PM

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.

I'll get back to you on the details as soon as I can. I'll have to look up the paperwork, since the watch is at the bank.

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

Here ya go!

KBM · 25 August 2020, 06:48 AM

Logines, for its heritage. But truly, whichever draws you the most.

DCheeta · 25 August 2020, 08:45 AM

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.

Ekwity · 26 August 2020, 06:17 PM

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

Thz for your comment, I will consider it seriously.

Justindo · 4 September 2020, 01:07 PM

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.

Pongster · 4 September 2020, 02:44 PM

Best to compare watches. Not brands.

Would recommend the Longines Complete Calendar Chronograph.
