I love the X-33! If Swatch made an X-33 out of a resin akin to what Casio uses for the GW-5000 (with G-Shock build quality), I would stand in line for two days to buy one. Forget Blancpain!
Granted, I didn't probe the absolute limits of the watch's settings and functions, but this should be a suitable turn-key guide for someone who has just bought the model and wants a quick primer on its core features. Best, Tim
Thank you Tim, this is one of the channel's most fantastic videos as it shows that you don''t have to do reviews all the time to have really great content. After many years of being amazed by how unique the x33 is, but withholding due to concerns that the watch might be too sporty or extreme for practical wear, I was very lucky to walk past one in a pretty unknown local store window and seeing, holding one in person convinced me to finally acquire it. This video really helped me to get a basic understanding of the watch's functions to get started. The watch's programming and movement is truly exceptional. Thanks Tim!
Thank you! Trivia: As a movie and watch buff. Its John Anderton's watch in Minority Report (2002) Leather bracelet. Certainty. 100%. At 1hr38min28sec. 3:42pm analog. CHR 24sec 58th/100. Tx to your demo! Nice...
Nice run through of the features. I have a gen 1 and interesting to see the differences. Mine has a polished unidirectional bezel, for example. The only feature I would have added to your demo is holding the 10 o'clock pusher turns off the digital, for a more traditional analogue look. I love this watch, and being titanium it is so light and wearable.
It's too bad that Will Ferrelll's Timex Ironman Duel-Tech watch from Stranger Than Fiction 2006 wasn't really nearly as nice as they made it seem, but that's the way with all the technology in movies. But this watch is much more mature and uses a single time-base for the digital and the analog displays, or at least correctly synced together. The movie's version would have had to have a powerful smartphone battery and LEDs to even begin to do what his did in the movie.

CGI department rebranded it as a Bugari. Bulgari sued and won.
