100% the best watch youtube out there - "borderline larping" "you're going to be fine babes" - i love the honesty

Im French and my Dad was French Navy Commando and he was wearing a Tudor Submariner during his carrer. He was loved the watch

I'm not a diver nor a watch collector, but I do dispatch for wildfire management. The countdown bezel is perfect for timing half hour check-ins with helicopters. Plus, spring bars are the bane of my existence. I can't tell you how many spring bars I've bent over the years. The thought of not having to deal with that problem ever again makes the Pelagos FXD a no-brainer.

I think the FXD and the Pelagos are both extorrdinary diving watches. The Tudor brand is becoming more and more special. Well done Tudor!

Wearing mine right now. From a functional perspective, it's the best "diver" I've ever owned and I have had the Sub and Sea-Dwellers.

I'm with you, Brittany - the FXD wears really well on my 6.75" wrist. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. The blue is awesome.

What I love about the FXD is that it is a purpose built tool, rather than a spec monster, or fashion watch. That said, as a Canadian the Marathon GSAR ot TSAR would be my first pick for a military dive watch.

"all kinds of nefarious underwater things." What a line, truly for the ages.

"Borderline Larping" 😂 My new favorite burn. Definitely gonna use that as soon as the opportunity arises.

I’ve been wearing my FXD non-stop since last December. Most rugged, comfortable and legible watch I’ve ever owned. And the MN 21 engraving on the back is just icing on the proverbial cake. A real nato strap monster! BTW I sold my BB58 Blue to buy this one, and I do occasionally miss it- especially when I see one on your wrist. Sigh. Very entertaining and informative video, Brittany. Keep them coming!

Great video and props on keeping an open mind. Things I love about mine 1. Lightness of Titanium 2. Reasonably thin for 200m water resistance 3. Bidirectional bezel 4. Fully indexed bezel 5. No date *Personally the countdown bezel doesn't bother me Hard to come across the combination of those things in any other watches I have come across, which lines up with exactly I was looking for. I hope you get one for yourself soon!

You could easily rock the FXD - because of the titanium build, it's very light and extremely comfortable. And thanks for a review that finally gets what the FXD is all about- a military tool watch built for a singular purpose without compromise. It's refreshing to see a reviewer admit they were wrong. Big thumbs up!!

Tried this on the other day. Omg, it's so comfortable and so light. You literally can't feel it. Im not a nato fan but this watch is so comfortable with the nato. Highly recommend it.

I love the watch. It's the watch with the most wrist time. Had my BB 58 on wrist switched back after 10min to the FXD. It wears like a dream 😊

Yes Britney :0 I ordered my FXD and waited three months not even knowing if I wanted it. When the AD Called I went to see it and fell in love. Its a class watch and the white on blue contrast is amazing. I'm a Rolex boy normally and this is my first Tudor. Love It

Even better is the standard Pelagos blue. Available and less expensive with a beautiful titanium bracelet with quick adjustment clasp and rubber bracelet 😎 I have one and I love it. 500m water resistantance, not that I will ever come close to that. I like the date function on it as well. I sold my BB41 for it and I am so happy

Hi Britt , I have enjoyed your review … and know what you have just ensured me I made the right move to reserve this watch for me , I am UAE resident and managed to find it brand new in Dubai , can’t wait to wear it on my wrist . Cheers for helping me out even though I made a deposit on it before watching your review . Take care M

Took mine on holiday to Florida on the rubber strap which was not a good idea in the sticky heat. Smelt funky at the end of the day!

I was looking for the new Obi Wan tv show trailers ( I am a big sci fi movies fan ) when I saw the title with the thumbnail. I watched the video without noticing any CGI effects . Definitely a keeper in my sci Fi movies list.

Got it Today!! I bought this blindly online and its epic. I am super happy with this and Im certain you'd like it. Do it!!!

Man, I am so happy that you have altered your position on the FXD, I can, in good conscious, continue watching you............Oh btw as you mentioned it, I had a very similar top in the 70's.

Bought 1 for myself for Xmas…(almost bought 2 because I had my hands on 2 mn21’s) quickly became my favorite watch..it still wears plenty slim on straps…I bought Erica’s original green yellow marine nationale strap for it also but love the Velcro it came on…love the color of the titanium…it is so light and well wearing you forget you have it on..great review 😁

Brit, I really appreciate how you make these videos whilst being drunk. Boldness

Gringa, I seen a thumbnail that said you were changing your channel name, nooooooo! i love the Gringa channel it's one of my new fav's, your choice through I'm sure you'll do what's best for you. keep up the great content.

Emphasis on the lag, yes! Lovely watch, I don't usually like dive watches but this one hits the spot for me, great revue Brittany.

I also share your love, I picked up mine two weeks ago, my AD will only get three allocated this year.

24 grand, here we come

The french navy developed the FIRST and original dive watch: blancpain FF. Tudor came later to the game. Even rolex could not use the uni- directional bezel Until 1980 Due to copyright.

Former navy guy here. Navigation is a function of Time, Speed, and Distance (and bearing which would be done with a compass) In this case, you use Speed (pace) and the distance you need to travel, to work out the time you should travel in that direction. Example, if you are swimming at 10 m/min, and need to travel 100m (at specific bearing), you need to swim for 10 minutes in that direction. Enter the countdown timing bezel. When it hits 0, you made it to the waypoint and start your next bearing and time to the next waypoint. Time=Distance/Speed Also, love your work Gringa! 🤘

I do own about 20 time pieces and since I bought these.. I am not wearing anything else... which is a bit shame but at the same time it speaks volumes how great these are

Brett sister as a French Canadian and a veteran need I remind you of the French Foreign Legion. Oh my goodness don't be so tough on yourself love the watch

Always wear a watch before judging it. The way a watch clicks with you is the time that it lands on your wrist. . The lighter blue bezel and dial color along with the not so busy dial makes its easier on the eyes.

I don't know if others have noticed, but the edges of the watch are very sharp in my opinion.

I wore my friends all day yesterday and I'm kinda thinking of buying it from him (if he lets me). The blue is so blue. The lugs perfectly fit my wrist. It's a little too big, but it feels nice

My grandfather did this in the Korean War as a navy frogman. He wore the Tudor submariner

Love the watch. And it wears fabulous around my 7.5inch wrist...

As a surfer, I've had a few watches get caught on my leash during a fall, popping a spring bar and then losing the watch. So, the fixed spring bars would be awesome! If I could only get over what I consider to be the ugliest hands in the business I'd get one.

Great Video! I had it on my wrist recently and must say I was pleasantly surprised 😁👍

I have it since the summer, and love it how it wears on the Nato strap, also have it on a military green strap it's a killer look. The FXD MN 22 it's very rugged as I bumped it against a rock in a coral reef in Mauritius and nothing happened.

I have a 7.25inch wrist and absolutely love my MN. Fits perfectly and is absolutely dreamy 🤤

A watch gringa video shows up on my feed - i fire it up, like the video and then watch the content :-) Love the positive vibe of all of your videos

Great video. I can relate to being won over - just bought a Tudor Black Bay ceramic that I wasn’t a fan of until I had it on my wrist. Prior to I was thinking Black Bay silver, but change of heart and not looking back!

I’m hearing two more Tudors before end of 22

I think it looks cool and I love the story behind it. The depth range wouldn't bother me at all. Most of my dive watches are rated for 200 meters, which is about 200 meters more water than I want to be under. Thanks for this new look at the Pelagos FXD.

my favorite watch

The way you pronounce "Pelagos" is way better and correct than the other thing you said, cause it's a Greek word so it pronounces Pèla(γ)os which means "small sea" in Greek😁

Hey Britt just got round to watching this. As you may know I have been bsnh on about it for months! Glad you like!!

it's the best pelagos, imo. and i did own the first pelagos with in-house movement but eventually could not handle the thickness

Finally an FXD review! Great to see that you like it. What does James think of it? Is it now on his Wish List? Another entertaining video, Brittney. Thanks! This is my review for others who might be interested: To those who are thinking about purchasing a Tudor Pelagos FXD but are still sitting on the fence, just do it! You can thank me later. After spending quality time with it I truly can’t find anything to complain about. It’s that good. It’s the definition of tool watch. Adjectives that first come to mind are purposeful, utilitarian, tough and rugged. Although it’s incredibly understated with its brushed Ti case, matte dark blue dial and ‘matte’ ceramic bezel, it surprisingly has great wrist presence. Don’t expect it to be showy or blingy. There is zero bling. The FXD’s design esthetic somehow offers a perfect balance between a relevant/trendy vibe and a vintage vibe. Like most Rolexes, this Reference has all of the good vintage details/DNA of its iconic ancestors and yet, still feels fresh and contemporary due to its lack of any faux vintage patina. It’s Ti light yet still feels substantial. The case size is 40mm and the bezel is 42.6mm so it wears comfortably on my 7” wrist, similar to a 40mm Submariner, yet offers more wrist presence due to the oversized bezel. It sits ‘relatively low’ on the wrist due to its 12.75mm thickness and its standard single-pass NATO strap conforms perfectly to the wrist so it wears comfortably. From a practical side, it’s the most legible watch I’ve ever owned. Highly recommended.

Hi Gringa I think you’ve just made Tea & Tickers a very happy man. Great watch great stream & as always great content. 🙏🏻👍

What does the FXD offer? Blue Shiny The ability to communicate with marine life The masculine urge to blow up docked submarines

I love it! Do wish it was a tad smaller because large watches still wear like large watches on my wrist.

I love them fixed bars!!! Reminds me of my CWC.

Are you from Philadelphia or Canada I’m so confused! Also… love this watch and love Tudor I just don’t like thinking about Velcro holding up over time. It needs OEM strap options for longevity.

Ooohhh... Now I've gotta get one too... 😁

Love it…after a couple months on the wrist, got rid of my blue Omega SMP 300. Also, the LUME on this watch is fantastic!

The FXD is great! Ordered one last week and should be with me from the AD in a fortnight or so. You’re exactly right about all your points. The fixed springbars like a 5517 milsub, the lume, the slimness of the case and that it’s forward looking. Gringa never misses, and this is yet more proof 🙏🏽😎🙌🏽

I NEVER thought I would buy a Tudor. Very satisfying.

I hope Tudor releases a bb pro with a rotating Pepsi bezel

I love your content; so engaging, which is all you! I have just collected the Pelagos 39, it is almost a perfect watch!! I will always own a Rolex, but with what Tudor is doing I often question myself.

Remember, there would be no USA without the French, especially the French Navy.

Love this watch, it's the most interesting Tudor in years. Great vid as always 😊

They make the FXD in black and I’m sold! Excited to see what else they drop this year!

Thoughts on the black bay chrono 🐼 ?

Still the first Tudor that’s 100% a bit of me!

I bet this one would also look awesome in a funky colour like orange or in a tropical brown like the NTTD Seamaster 😍

My LHD is hands down my favourite piece in my humble collection. This blue variant of the FXD will be the next add

If I were to buy a Pelagos it would be the standard one for sure.

Eating snails while diving is the purpose of this watch

Not me, wearing a Pelagos thinking „I told you so“.

It is Pe'lagos, you are correct and they re wrong:) But how are we going to try it on? It cannot be found anywhere!

You are actually saying it correctly . Source: Greek guy 🇬🇷

Sold my bb58 blue, I think the fxd looks better, the square indices go better with the snowflake hands. I don't think I will be buying a Tudor again though, the brand is not for me.

200 metres is fine if you consider that you can only go down to 40 metres, without needing decompression stages on the re-ascent - and just how many diver watches go deeper anyway ?

Great review, thank you Brittany 👍🙂

I intend to buy one as it is nice and very cheap too.

Have you considered a brown leather nato with your FXD? I’m curious if that combo would work well.

Great vid BP!!… excellent director…. Viva L’escargot 🐌

Interesting piece. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, #WR4K

I have the Blue BB58......This FXD looks redundant ,both are nice

You're saying perfect! On the other hand, the whole pòint of scuba diving is not having to hold your breath ;-)

Hope they bring back the Submariner, but with ceramic bezel insert

I have a blue snowflake sub from 1969 which is lovely but not necessarily best suited for my lifestyle of walking into door frames, diving and shooting guns cycling etc - I have the Pelagos LHD and really appreciated the blue Pelagos but didn't want two of the same watch, though considered it multiple times. The countdown bezel doesn't work for me so much on this watch which is a personal thing - I do take my LHD diving but I'm not gonna lie I always forget to set the bezel (I have a dive computer on the other wrist so it's ok), I do use it for lots of other things though. The slimmer profile looks pretty cool though I am 6"4 so the Pelagos size is fine for me. I have the blue time & tide doxa 600T so my blue sporty fix is ticked off with that! This looks great though. I love the snowflake style so muchhhhh

I I usually dislike blue but that muted blue looks fantastic. Shame about the snowflake hands. (Dry heave)

Finally 2160p🤩🤩🤩

TOOOSDAY is the day to release TUDOR content.

I really like this, but I do wish it had that great Pelagos bracelet. I know that won't work with the fixed lugs, but I wish Tudor would release a 200m version with regular spring bars and the bracelet. I love the markets all around the bezel as well as the slightly less bright shade of blue too.

I love my brand new black one with rubber strap, that´s the perfect daily one!

Tudor is nailing it with all its new models. I have two Tudor BB 58 (black and blue) and the GMT...I'm still undecided about the Pelagos but I totally agree it is quite a nice piece! Congrats gringa...great review (.....btw... gringa refers more to North American girls but no worries... you still look gringa to me **lol**)

"Something my Grandad would wear"... I'm not so sure about that! I'm getting big time 1970's Diane Keaton vibes. That shirt is fabulous! Combined with the white pants (?) you wouldn't be out of place in 'Annie Hall' or 'The Godfather Part 2' in the Lake Tahoe scene. Love the FXD, you should totally get it! It really suits your style!

I'm about to get a Black Bay 58, in fact, my AD already knows that I'm interested in one, so I hope the 'surprise release' from Tudor for 2022 isn't too mind-blowing.....

Damn that is the truest thing I’ve ever heard. Watch fans are totally high end larpers.

Fun fact - France has the best/highest military win rate in the world. In other words, they have won far far more than they have lost. Bad rep - extraordinary performance….

Please review the Christopher Ward Aquitaine! I feel its the perfect balance of attainable and premium build with a simple design.

take the date out clear a more clear and simple dial, a success

I’m still so so on the Pelagus 😎!

Pass. Traded my Tudor Submariner like the one in your video for my Breitling SO, ain't going back. My only small issue with my outermost SO is the 44mm, I may yet get a 42mm probable in blue.or black or a Chronomat. "Eye popping 500m WR" HAhahaha my SO is a 1000m that I'll never use. You could try a Breitling boutique. do a little comparison shopping. Plenty around London. I like the massive one on Aruba.:) Nice one on St. Kitts too. You still have a direct flight from Heathrow to St. Kitts. Lots of interesting British and French history on St. Kitts. :)

Tried it on a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Hope to get one soon for my 7 inch wrist. However, will then need to find a new home for my BB58 blue….

It’s a Greek word and as a Greek, I am telling you you pronounce Pelagos almost perfect! Great review and beautiful watch indeed!

Next episode: I was wrong, Rolex Explorer is friggin awesome.
