Memory is a funny thing. Mainly because of what and how little we do actually remember. This is, in part, explained by the serial-position effect (please don’t click away from this page, this isn’t as boring as it sounds), which is the theory behind why we remember the start and end of events, but not much about what happens between the two.

As 2020 has likely been a pretty tough time, you should try to improve what you remember of it by finishing it off with a bang. It might not be possible to have a huge party, but you can finish the year with a rush of adrenaline by getting a new watch. And if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere’s summer right now, we’ve got one pretty good suggestion – the green Longines HydroConquest on rubber strap. This video shows exactly how things will go, should you buy it from the Longines online store. The packaging, the ceremony, it’s all part of the online-buying experience.

At 41mm in diameter, it’s nicely sized and arrives on a very comfortable rubber strap for all wrists. Powered by Longines’ in-house and dependably rock-solid L888 caliber, it boasts a more than decent 64 hours of power reserve, and is also water-resistant to 300m. For summer, you can’t ask for much more.
