- The watch that I only bought for the making of this video. That I didn’t even like when I first saw it. That I was 100% certain I would sell directly after shooting the video…
The watch that I now love and that hasn’t left my wrist since I bought it 😂
Check out the full review! Way too long but I sure don’t leave anything unsaid about it.
Hope you like it despite the length…
I bought the Tudor Ranger the week it came out and it has barely left my wrist.
Understated and uncomplicated, this is a hardcore field watch with perfect dimensions and it's perfect for everyday use. 10/10
I agree wholeheartedly! It’s a real wrist-hugger 👍
Those who don't like the Ranger probably have not handled one. Once on the wrist it's hard to take off... So visible so comfortable. What's not to like?
So true, it´s hard to take off...
Agree very comfortable. Torn between this and the chrono.
Already have a BB so I’m leaning ranger?!
The Ranger is much more comfortable than the Tudor Chronograph, not even close I'd say... Near perfect dimensions on the Ranger.
@@DESCENDINGDR what about the BB Pro?!
I got one when then first came out. Great watch but the case is a little top heavy and thick, but not a deal breaker on either count. Especially if you have a wrist at least 7" / 175 mm. The oyster bracelet is very nicely made and comfortable but the case just seems to outweigh it. For an everyday wear I prefer a slightly lighter piece.
Ive got mine today and I am blown away. I was lucky when I got my submariner 20 years ago, but it didn't blow me away. The Ranger feels fantastic, looks fantastic and seems for me to be the ultimative watch. Tell Your kids to draw a watch - it will nearly look like the Ranger. That's it. Thanks for this review, it made my day perfect.
And thank you for this comment. It made my day perfect 😊
Oh man! The lume is awesome. I'm going for it. I'm currently collecting Omega but the adjustable bracelet with exceptional lume is a winner. Thank you for doing one of the best Ranger reviews on RUclips.
No man, thank YOU for your kind words 😊🙏 Glad you liked the video.
A great review for someone who is interested in him and wants to actually buy him and not just talk about him and whine about him
I rarely comment YT videos, I really enjoyed this review, taking time to show the watch and give your opinion about many aspects of it. Great job! This one will be my first luxury watch, so simple, discreet and sleek, I’m sure I will never get bored of it. Keep up the good work
Thank you Matthieu. This comment made my day a little bit brighter 😀
The ranger is a future classic, I wasn’t sure at first now it rarely comes off my wrist
I think so as well. It’s really clinging on to my wrist 😂
Thanks for watching man, means a lot to me 🙏
I can't get away from this watch... It reminds me of the mid 1940s field watches.. chunky indices on black, with a dash of red.. OH MAN!!! A refined, simple, robust tool watch.
Thank you for the great video.. you have helped me make a decision. LESS IS MORE ❤
I bought it after watching this review.
I wanted this watch because it's great but it has a lot of strange, unfavorable reviews on RUclips.
I decided to trust you and I am very happy.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful watch, simple yet so effective. The bracelet is perfect and that gorgeous painted dial.
Love the history that comes with it too.
I passed on the previous version a few years ago - too large and I hated how the bracelet didn’t fit the case. As soon as I saw this new smaller size version with that beautiful adjustable bracelet, I placed an order with my AD. I’m really happy with the new Ranger!
Yeah, the previous version didn’t catch my attention either. Enjoy you new Ranger and thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Apple makes billions trying to make their stores look as boring as possible.
I wasn’t a fan at first. Went to my local AD and held the Ranger several times. After a month I ended up pulling the trigger on it. I noticed there were too many people (including myself) judging watches before actually seeing them in person. It’s a watch I really gravitate too. Phenomenal quality and dimensions. Very simplistic dial but it’s very sleek. A great all rounder and I’m happy I gave the Ranger a chance.
I think a lot of people don’t like the Ranger for the same reason some people don’t like the Omega Railmaster. Neither are polished and blingy. Personally, I love the all satin or brushed finishes.
I love the Railmaster, maybe that’s why I like the Ranger as well! I wear my Pelagos the most, but I keep looking at this Ranger as I love field watches.
I was considering between the railmaster and the ranger recently. But when I tried on the railmaster I just didn't like it. But when I put the ranger on my wrist I knew I'm getting it. It looked and felt good on my wrist.
From a guy with a sleeve on his watch wrist, you made a good point about a simple dial calming things down. Great review.
I recently got the call for the bb pro and when I got there they pulled out the ranger and a ceramic bb. They offered me all three at the same time. However I did buy the ranger just for the absolute fact that everyone said it was a dog. I love it. I wish I would have gotten the pro also but I can still get it. The bracelet on the ranger seems a bit sharp and a bit stiff but still great quality.
In my eyes, you made the right choice 😊 Thanks for watching ❤️
It’s an amazing piece … simple and elegant . Super comfortable I’ve worn mine almost everyday for a month … I’ve traveled , swim , run , work everything and it always feels amazing !
Honestly, I had the option betwen the ranger and black bay pro and i chose Ranger. BB Pro wears smaller and I already have a rolex submariner so Ranger looked unique.
The Pro might wear smaller, but it sure wears taller and not as comfortable 😊
Thanks for watching 🙏
White lume when its METAS certified and I'm buying it immediately.
great review and I’ve noticed this before , your tattoos actually make the watch look better . A colorful busy background and the simple watch stands out , vs the omega kind of blends in. Not sure I could pull this off , looks great on you
I love the Ranger however i already own a Rolex Explorer. The Black Bay Pro is a stunner as well
Really debating whether to get this watch. The bracelet and the wearability are huge pluses. Also, it seems as though the simplicity of the dial grows on a lot of people after handling it in person. Intriguing option for sure. Would be my first ‘real’ watch. Should I go for it?
Many field watches have a more "simple" design, that's the whole appeal and intentional design feature. I think the unfavorable reviews was 100% a copy-cat situation from the "influencers" too AFRAID to have their own opinion or too lazy #truth, way to stand above the HERD! Beautiful watch, saw it in person at South Coast Plaza mall Tudor store and it was awesome.
Nice have 5 Tudor’s and almost went to buy the Ranger have to agree on cons “red text “ and at least blocks of Not sure if it’s superluminova would be amazing or like the Rolex oyster perpetual with the applied Arabic 3,6 and 9 my opinion it’s just because of the Rolex the Mother brand doesn’t allow sister Tudor applied Arabic numerals 😊
Next step a nice hybrid strap it’s same for the Pro have got a Pro and when went to AD thought it was painted but no it’s blocks of super luminova amazing watch but got to agree on the brush like Ranger would be amazing on the Tudor Pro !
All the best Amigo !
How much did you pay for that Ranger ? I know it’s back from 2023 now prices in Portugal have raised not as much as Omega those are almost 30% more expensive 😳!
Enjoy your Tudor’s in good health Amigo 🍻
Incredible review! It looks great on your wrist. What's the size of it? Btw, do you still own the watch? Thanks :)
Will receive the Tudor Ranger next friday. There is a Rolex Explorer I in my collection too, but it's dangerous to wear a Rolex in the big city in The Netherlands nowadays, so
The first time I saw it I thought it was boring. As I saw it more an more, I grew to love the way it looked. It's purpose built, and has a simple clean minimalistic dial, and I love it so much I bought one.
Great review bro! Definitely solidifies my purchase of my ranger. I can’t stop wearing mine. As a person who plans to get my whole arm tattooed, the simplicity of the watch acts as a great contrast. Thanks for the great content.
Ranger is better than pro. I bought the pro and returned it bc it looked like a toy in person. Really considering the ranger though
Don’t know about better since that’s all subjective 😊 But a big THANK YOU for watching and commenting! Means a lot to me 🙏
The numeral’s color kind of looks like the tan colored Berets the US Army Rangers wear
Nice watch. For me just needs some polishing. I get it’s a tool watch but polished chamfers and side of the bracelet would take it up a notch.
I was lucky enough to get this exact watch a few days after release and I’m still in love with it as much now if not more than I was when I first purchased it. It’s an amazing timepiece, the lume is phenomenal , the cleanness of the dial is utilitarian and attractive both at the same time. Your video was great and covered everything. Well done 👍🏼
Nice Wills, wear it with pride 👌Glad you liked the video and I´m thankful that you watched it and commented 😃
@@backintimewatches Just subscribed for more of your great content 👍🏼👍🏼
What's wrong with the hand, bro? too picturesque. good watch
I’m going to call it, this watch will be highly sought after in the years to come. All the hate, then, all the love.
37-38mm and its Perfection.
I understand your statement about wearing the Seamaster on the bracelet for a couple of hours. That's why i put it on a Zealande rubber strap. And now it is fabulous
Yeah, I could do that. But I feel like watches should be worn and should be comfortable on the bracelets they come with, since a big portion of the price is the bracelet, so yeah…
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
The Tudor Ranger is so so comfortable to wear. 12m thick, 47mm lug to lug. Nice and light for a metal bracelet. The clearest watch time I have ever worn. Funnily enough, once you have it on, it's quite refined. The bubble crystal is beautiful and there is very fine chamfering down the side, unlike the black bay. The proportion is also "goldilocks". A very nice watch, particularly for ever day and travel
Thanks for this very honest review. I totally agree. The video quality and the light are amazing ! 👍
Thank YOU for watching 😊 I’m glad you liked the video 🙏
Great review. Which wins for you between the Pro and Ranger?
Thanks 😊
They’re both winners in my book, but when it comes to wearability and comfortability, the winner is definitely the Ranger 😊
To be honest I love mine well happy with it.
Bro your sound between the chapters is hella annoying. Several clicks on the volume down just to get through it, only to have to go back up once the dialogue comes in. Your content selection is spot on. You gotta fix the audio though.
Sorry about that man. This is exactly the kind of comment I need to get better. I guess it’s the sound when it goes from music to talking right? Music is way louder than speech in the video?
I’ll do something about it from now on 👍
@@backintimewatches I can tell that you want to nail this format. Happy to help. Keep it up. I think your lifestyle will fit a lot of viewers. You lost a couple other forward to seeing you in the 100k Club.
Fantastic review of the Ranger and this video helped me to decide for the Ranger, thanks!
I like it. Simple and functional!
If it's boring, it's my kind of boring. After seeing it on your wrist, I feel confident it wouldn't wear too small on mine. Tempting!
Glad I could help 😊
I own a Tudor Pelagos 42mm and this 39mm Ranger. I have a 19cm wrist or 7 1/2". I thought the Ranger might be a little too small, but it's not. It's just smaller than my other watches. It fits well and looks good on my wrist. If you are used to larger watches it may take a couple days to get used to wearing a smaller watch.
@@roamy3605 19cm is also my wrist size; that's helpful. I had ruled out
I Like the watch. I've ordered one😊
Funny: I said some of the same things about how this watch needed a few things to be really good. But I had never seen one in person. When I finally did I just knew I had to buy it, and did. Looking back it was one of my easier watch purchases. Most people don't run out to buy a boring field watch. But I guess I did. And am very happy about it.
Hehe, I think this watch has done that to many of us. Underestimating it and then it actually blows you away when seeing it irl 😊
@@backintimewatches Hey, Did you know the Ranger was nominated for the GPHG award in the PETITE AIGUILLE category that was just announced. It's a pretty big honor to get a nomination. The Ranger didn't win but still.
I bought one its a cool watch, no bling but simple fine quality
You need to research the watch before you do the video. You have several measurements that are wrong. The t fit is actually 8mm not 5mm.
Hmm, several? Can you give me one more except for the t-fit? And about the t-fit measurement. I did search for that fact. Says nothing about the measurement on the Tudor website so if they don’t seem to think that the information is important enough to give to their potential customers, then sometimes I might not see it that important to spend my time researching it 🤷♂️
And to be fair, in the video I say “I think” it’s about 5mm. I never say that I know that as a fact 👍
But I’m curious to hear about the other several measurements I got wrong.
Have a great day and thanks for watching 🙏
The bester Review from this Wtach in RUclips 👍👍👍👍👍 and TOP Tattoos!
Wow, thanks man! Your words made my day much better 😊🙏👌
Couldn't agree more. I love it!
The fit and comfort is amazing.
Doesn't deserve all the hate.
The new Explorer looks castrated and wears so much smaller with the narrow lugs and aggressive bracelet taper.
It really does,they definitely moved it more towards being a woman's watch, hopefully the new 40mm version will ease that
The Tudor ranger has a ridiculous amount of charm to it that I can't quite fathom. It's boring ? But in the best possible way .. tried one on at an AD with the NATO .. didn't like it on the NATO. Haven't had the chance to try it on the bracelet yet .. but it's one watch that I KEEP coming back to and reconsidering as my first high end watch...
This is a brilliant review by the way incredibly well said and detailed ! What do you think mate.. Longines spirit 37 or this Tudor? ..
Tudor
I was also on the edge between the ranger and spirit 37. even though the spirit has some nice colors the 37 felt too small and that is with the larger lug to lug. If and when i buy a spirit, it will only be if they make the titanium spirit to 38mm. But the spirit is a great watch on the specs side, i just felt more pulled towards the ranger.
i've owned my ranger for 10 days and i love it. i even love the color of the lume. the only negative for me is the luminosity is sub-par. if you compare the lume to say the pelagos or just about any seiko diver it's terrible and it didn't have to be that way because there are watches with faux lume that perform like regular lume. the seiko captain willard re-issue with gray dial is an example
That’s true, there are better lines watches and I guess one has to decide if Luke is one of the most important things or not. Thank you for watching 🙏
Hi I have one for a month already. Absolutely love it. How the bracelet fit was ? For me there wasn't sizing at all. Fortunately it was long enough 😃
Damn Vladimir, you must have some huge wrists. My kind of dude 😊
Thanks for watching man 🙏
I mean I’m sold!
Great video, great watch . . . hoping to get one before Christmas . . . on the hybrid leather strap.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you 👍
It's a cool watch.. be cooler if they did "RANGER" in red text.
Yes, I say the exact same thing in the video 👏
Love my Ranger❤
Lol people who call tudor boring are calling Rolex explorer boring.The OP and explorer are the minimalist and thats why appeal to those who like simple elegance.Tudor goes in history to pull out the explorer style case and bracelet.Its such a beautiful watch❤
I like simple dials. A watch doesn’t need to advertise its features on the dial. The owner knows what they are. Picked one up on Saturday. Love it.
Flotte reviews :)
I fully agree with you.. it could have used a little more red, applied cream indices, a rounded "ranger" font, and I would have preferred the old school Tudor rose🌹 over the shield.. perhaps the gotic font logo too, OOOO!! I would not hesitate as much as I have, if it had those subtle changes. Great video, great taste
Went to buy an Omega White dial, ended up with the Ranger, loved the simplicity of it. Maybe the only change I would make is put Chronometer under Ranger text so 2 on top 2 below. Maybe the colour of the arabics a little whiter but small suggestions. Love mine already.
Wear it in health buddy 🤗 And thanks for watching and commenting.
@@backintimewatches My pleasure, it was a good video, very balanced. Never got the hate for the ranger when it was released, it's a tool/field watch it's needs to do one job well which this watch does, always room for improvement of course but a forwards step from the 1st iteration of it.
@@Signal11th Totally agree 😊
That was the best review I’ve seen, you describe things very personally and I appreciated that.
Mayby it is boring but it will never grow old on you. I simply love this watch in all it's simplicity. Of course every rose has it's torn and the torn of this watch are the hour markers those should be applied instead of painted, but then again if there is something to wish for it keeps your mind occupied about and makes it even more perfect it's called character then.
This watch is king. For the first time in my life, something I've only seen in my dreams comes to life. This watch is everything I wanted in a watch. I am dying to get one. One of the things people complain why there is not much writing on the Dial,, Its not a book. I love watches and one of the most things I hate about 90% of watches when they put so much text on the Dial like the water resistant etc.. Just put these on the back. I like the Dial clean. This this one of the things that are a big pro for me with the Ranger.
Excellent review. Waiting for mine currently
This is best review of Tudor Ranger!
Dude, your comment made my day ❤️
Seiko Snke61 if without the day date basically a 36mm Tudor Ranger lol.If they update the lume and the second hand I think I get the Ranger instead of saving up for an Air King or Explorer.Less is more but too bad about the lume
Hi! We would love to see an update video of your Ranger and how is it holding up. Still have it? :)
Good video and I tend to agree on the Ranger. It was easy to dismiss last year, but I've come to appreciate it more one year later.
I hope you can keep the music volume under control in your videos. The difference from spoken volume and the rest was too much for my ears.
The design of this model was just what I was looking for in my next watch. The clean unassuming face with a brushed steel case/bracelet and solid build quality that doesn't attract attention. This fits my style of a luxury daily driver like a Toyota Land Cruiser, well done Tudor.
Yep. Make that Ranger text matching Red and make the crown a bit larger in diameter and more coarsely knurled. Looks very comfortable
It’s simple and beautiful. Personal ego is what makes the simplicity un comforting for some.
One thing that’s never spoken is the quality of the Screw-Down crown instead they always talk about the worthless lume quality.
Bra jobbat! Gillar Rangern också!!
Tusen tack 🙏
Great review 👏🏻 the boring dial is the main reason I bought this watch. Not a fan of paragraphs being written on my watch dial
Hi there. Do you think it will fit on my almost 8 inches wrist? Thank you.
Sinn 556 is better
Better how? Please explain? From what I understand, the Sinn has a Sellita movement, not in-house. No COSC-certification, no METAS-certification. So at least at accuracy the Tudor is far superior 🤷♂️ And that’s one of the most important things on a time-keeper right, keeping accurate time…
Warranty on a Sinn is 2 years right? It’s 5 years on a Tudor.
Both have sapphire, both are stainless steel. Sure, the Sinn is pressure resistant but this is not a diver, it’s an Explorer/field watch.
So how is it better? I’m honestly interested in what you mean specifically 😊
Thanks for watching 🙏
Everything that people seem to dislike about the ranger is what draws me to it
The clean dial is a nice contrast to your colorful arm.
Fabulous. Explorer 1016 vibe
Love it! I’m gonna have it in 2 months! Can’t wait to wear it
I like the scratch story's. That was the best.
Really well done review. Nice work!
Great review 👍lovely watch. Many thanks 🙏
Scratches: "What story?!" Love it!!!!!!
I'm actually considering the Ranger or the BB Pro. I appreciate the comps.
And I appreciate the comment and the fact that you watched the video 😀🙏
In my opinion the Ranger look awesome!
Great review! Would love to see an updated opinion video. Have your feelings changed after some time. Do you like it more? Less? Or about the same?
Thanks man. Really glad you enjoyed the video 😊❤️
A update video is coming. Sort of… 😜
Bra recension, ju mer man tittar på klockan desto mer nyfiken blir man 😊
Ranger vs bb pro?
I have the bb already
Great review! What size is your wrist?
Best field watch
Excellent review!
Superb review!!!
Nice review!
If you think the Ranger is comfy, try a 36 mm vintage watch...a 36 mm e.g. Oyster case is king of comfort. Personally all brushed is a bit of a con. I a classic mix of polished sides and brushed top...no worries about scratches on polished surfaces...the can easily buffed out if necessary. Brushed surfaces aren't immune to scratches neither and if something really dents the brushing, its usually there until the watch gets refinished...had this case on watches.
36mm is great for unisex wrists
I have a Tudor 1926 36mm & it’s so comfy. The bracelet is also really good & only let down slightly by a lack of micro adjustment. It’s really thin too with a curved side
Looking at getting a 1926 as the best value Tudor. Like the fall colors in the background of the intro.
not a bad looking watch but the thin hands are a put off to me
Thanks Jack 🙏
Great review!
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Great review! I actually sold my Explorer 36mm 14270 for this! It’s stunning!! Great job! 🎉
why????
I agree, it contrasts with a full sleeve tattoo very well. I find the new ranger absolutely beautiful. I just wish it had the smiley face text at the bottom and/or a date complication just above 6 o'clock. I also have full sleeves and appreciate the simple elegance of the dial. I'm saving for a BB58 but highly tempted to switch to the ranger.
