This watch I have in green and it runs unbelievable 30 seconds fast per month!!!!. Better than my omegas and much more expensive "brand" watches. Not a scratch in 4 months. For this price a real bargain.
I love my Ranger. People call the lume fauxtina but I agree with you it’s not. I think of it as 1990s tacticool green-yellow. I know that sounds pejorative but I’m all about that motif.
Well I think the watch will. But the strap flares out past the end links and is pretty firm, so it may overhang your wrist there. Of course you could always put it on a different strap!
Well light swim and submerged under water for 50m wr is nothing challenging. Anny serious water activities would be dangerous. People doing watch reviews realy down play 50m wr like it barely can handle drops of rain. Once I lef my timex expedition scout in one of my jeans pockets and throw them into washing mashine, and the watch was absolutely fine.
I bought the Ranger to complete my “Explorer” experience. I have the R ilex evxplotet in 39 m2 and in 36 mm. I purchased a BB Pro as I preferred it to the Explorer 2. And the Ranger to complete the “set”. Happy with all my purchases and rotate them depending on on my mood.
My first luxury watch was a Rolex 6694, I loved it,but it was just a bit small for modern times, so I traded it in for my Omega 2254 SMP ( doubled my money on the Rolex in the process). When the Tudor Ranger came out it reminded me very much of my old Rolex but in a modern size. I bought one last Christmas and couldn’t be happier with it, the dial looks far better in person than in videos or photos. It’s now in regular rotation with my 2254smp and my Orange bezel Planet Ocean and I absolutely love it.
Unfortunately though it’s cool, this watch isn’t a real field watch. It’s just an homage throwback to traditional field watches. It’s not made to any government specification.
Always someone who feels like they know it all, the definition of a field watch is "A minimalistic military watch designed to display accurate time" so nice comment buddy but check your facts first
@@Cables_ lol nonsense, there is no singularly correct definition of a field watch. What does exist are government specifications for watches intended to be used by military personnel, which is where the term field watch comes from. The Hamilton Khaki Field mechanical as shown in this video was made as an homage to the 60s-70s era us military watches which were made to a specific government specification. This is common knowledge. This current khaki field watch doesn’t meet those specifications and so is not a “field watch”.
Hello Dan, after seeing the abuse your spb155 suffered...i really think you shouldn't have worn it while doing construction and other serious work...Dan my friend that is the purpose of a G-Shock😂 man you really made this gorgeous watch look like a truck ran over it..
Very nice-both the watch and video! I have several Seiko watches, but I don't think any will come close to this. This video is as good as and better than most of the other 15 I have watched. Great close-ups and nobody has ever shown the bracelet off the watch as you did! My Silent Service (no Cyclops) is due in 5 weeks, 2 days, 9 hours, and 43, 42, 41 seconds. But who's counting?
@@WatchDanReviews I'd like to take a minute to agree with your last comment...I don't know why these "haters" keep getting attention. I don't care what the history of this watchmaker is right now. I care about the quality of the watch in my hand. And according to every review I have seen - this is an "outstanding" watch - riveling Rolex! Even if (and there is NO PROOF of this anywhere) the watchmaker produced fake watches previously - HE'S NOT DOING IT NOW..And if that is how he honed his technical expertise, well, so be it. Leave the past where it belongs - in the past. As for me, I want a quality watch, as close to hand made as possible. When it's handmade, MY WATCH will be the only one like it in the world. There will be others "like it," but not the same. I am looking forward to having "that" on my wrist. And there will only be a limited supply of "this watch." This watchmaker isn't going to make this same watch forever, and he can only make a limited supply. So, in twenty-five years, when my son is wearing this watch, and nobody else has one, then what? Who was right? (And there is reason to believe it will be around because the simplicity of working on the Saleta movement will ensure that!) If you have gotten this far, thanks for putting up with my rant. I have a hard time with people who jump onto the media bandwagon with no proof - because "they can." It insults other people's intelligence. I'm looking forward to my watch. Take care, Ken
@@kenfritz9565 I agree with you, Ken! The finishing of this watch is better than many of my Swiss watches. Even the hand-placed, rhodium plated indices are aligned absolutely perfectly.
I had a Tudor Heritage Ranger and sold it to buy the new one. I haven't yet, because I keep coming across new watches I *have* to have, but man, this watch is total perfection.
Congratulations, it’s a beautiful and a great watch. I own the Tudor BB GMT stainless steel on bracelet, since 3 years and 2 months ago and the BB heritage (41mm.) since almost 4 years ago. I love both, everything works perfectly and I don’t have any problem with the thickness o diameter because I have a big wrist. Last month i tried the Tudor Ranger and I decided to buy it . Next week I will go to pick it up. Thanks for the video, very useful and great information about the watch.
I have one and love it. My only slight criticism is on the clasp. I wish the edges were softened, and that little piece that kicks up was removed (so the whole clasp were smooth).
@@bobdegutis302 ya I agree. If the watch is too tight that piece is irritating. But for me it is largely negated with the T fit…but I do agree they should have beveled that edge like the do on a Rolex, or even a Seiko Prospex.
I’ve been wearing the ranger loose and have gotten used to a loose fit, as suggested by my AD. too snug and the crown would rub the top of my hand. This is my favorite watch ever (so far) and I’m very pleased. Timekeeping is very good, over 2 months it is +15, a big improvement over the seiko that I am coming from
@@bobdegutis302 wow + 8 seconds a month is really great. That’s like 3/10 of a second per day, well within METAS/superlative territory. Mines gaining about 6/10 of a second per day which is second only to my AquaTerra which all things considered basically keeps even time at the end of the day, not gaining or losing at all.
I agree with you. The 39mm Ranger is a sleeper. I bought it back in November and it became my favorite Tudor in my collection. It will be a watch people want later on.
Just a beautiful watch. I got mine today. Sugges & Seagull have pretty respectable reputations. The lum is very good but the glare off the crystal is pretty pronounced.
Indices are printed on, not applied, and the pins are just push pins unfortunately. Great watch and review tho. Hearing what you put this watch through gives me so much more confidence in its performance
Bought one, sold it quickly and still think it was a mistake. It's a very solid watch. I think it was just that yellow / faux vintage lume that I didn't like
Photos don’t really show the color or dial very well, it’s a great looking watch in person. That said, it would have been even better with regular white lume.
