I was wrong.... The Tudor Pelagos FXD is freaking awesome. 

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

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

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 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’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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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 😊

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.

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 😁

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

love your sense of humor!

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.

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

Great video as always. Think I'm becoming a Tudor fan boy. Trying to get the FXD, this year so it has the 22 year on the back. Exciting news about the bonus release, lets hope it's true. Cheers.

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.

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 100% agree. On the wrist it’s remarkable. I chose the LHD over it last year, but still kind of want one 😂. It’s SO much flatter on the wrist!! Anyway keep up the awesome work Brit. Your videos are always a great combination of information and ridiculoidnessness(my word). Helping to keep some fun in this bizarre and wonderful hobby.

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.

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

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

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

Beautiful watch

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!

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

Great review, thank you Brittany 👍🙂

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!!!

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

Great Video as always Brittany🤙 I have been interested in possibly acquiring a Pelagos for a few years, alas it hasn’t come to be… yet. I was floored when the FXD was released… WOULD I miss the bracelet? Perhaps, but sailing, swimming, SUPing or doing other things I’d generally do while using it would be better served by a strap… The count down bezel makes this akin to a “thinking man’s” (unreleased”) Titanium Yachtmaster! …Thinner = a winner. And the color… oh the color. It’s a better, darker Blue, period. My only real concern was that people were reporting the effective lug to lug as a smidge over 50mm. I’m about a 7” wrist and the FXD looked great on your husband, so my concern is gone:) Saving for a Tudor Pro, FXD or Seiko SLA043. Maybe a 58blue, but now that the Pro exists all I can think about is that T Fit Clasp. Thanks Again for the great Content and positivity in the community.

Seeing the intro card, I was like, "nice," and then, "nice." Hopefully with clever positioning, next time Watch Papi can direct while sneaking in an unsolicited wrist shot lol I agree that the FXD is a handsome and rugged watch. Might not be on my list but a great watch with a very cool military connection. I enjoyed the bit where you were trying to explain the tethered divers -- I'm right there with you haha

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😁

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 🙏🏽😎🙌🏽

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

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

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

Love to see James more involved in the videos…….hopefully we get a face reveal soon 😜. That FXD is awesome…….the fixed lugs are the coolest feature but at the same time its the worst haha

Great video

I've always been into watches since I got my first g shock back in 2014. Looks great, I love nato straps too! This might be a really broad question but what are your thoughts on "limited edition" watches (ie are they worth the extra money)? New subscriber btw! Love your watch reviews (:

Yes not a Tudor fan ! This watch though is sweat !! Nice video mate 🥃

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.

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

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

Love the FXD !

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**)

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

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.

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.

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

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

my favorite watch

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

Great, now I want one. Thanks, thanks a lot … 😀

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

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

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

I really love the FDX, but with my 8 inch wrist the regular Pelagos fits me perfectly, and the world class clasp helps.

Looking 🔥

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

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

Always enjoy your irreverance while also being a total watch nerd. I've been waiting find one of these to check out for some time. I think it's great. I've owned an LHD, and I think the thinness of this offering wins the day. I'm not a saturation diver and don't play one on tv.

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

I’m a real fan of this watch, any ideas what the wait for one is at an AD? Would you still have one over a BB58 blue dial? Recent subscriber and really enjoying the content and overall delivery.

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

It is just perfect.

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

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’m hearing two more Tudors before end of 22

Live it looks very nice. I ordered this watch. After some month I deleted the order because I don't feel anymore to wear a military watch.

Finally 2160p🤩🤩🤩

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

I’m still so so on the Pelagus 😎!

Tudor’s Pelican 😏 has never really done it for me. It’s a nice enough watch, but leaves me a bit cold. Unlike the BB58 variation with black gilt dial and red bezel triangle…love that one! None the less I really liked this FXD the moment I saw the first press photos. It together with said BB58 would be the Tudor’s I’d go for, if I had the dosh.

I had a Breitling SeaWolf in titanium, very light though it had a thickness as a Deepsea. The problem w FXD is the Nato, always a bracelet guy so the strap stops me. My favorite Tudor will always be the GMT.

Awwww !!!! Gringles, welcome back to the Tudor family. I was in a state of heartbreak when you were wondering if it was time to get rid of Faithful ol' BB58 over the Grand Seiko but your incredible wisdom prevailed. XD. All is right in the Universe once again. 🤗

The Pelagos is my favorite of the Tudor watches, but that FXD bezel is really, really busy. Maybe, in the flesh, I would have an epiphany too but I am not convinced.

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

Sacre bleu Brit ha ha Great video as ever….. watches in the wild are so much better than any marketing picture!!! Off for snails on toast 👍🙏
