That's the only measurement that I think will give some people pause. For my wrist it's just fits within the confines, but it's a long lug for sure and anyone with a wrist under 7 inches may find it a bit too long. On the bright side it is a thin tapered lug so it's not too dramatic, but I think people should try it on prior to buying where possible.

Yeah it's much fuzzier than what comes on the black FXD. Would love to see a new version of the MN strap but I'm not aware of any changes. I also haven't handled any newer MN FXDs so not sure if it's still the same. Would love to hear from anyone that has received their MN within the past year if it's any better.

commented on Who wants to see FXD bezels on normal bracelet Pelagos ·

For me, part of the magic of the FXD is the strap integration and fixed lug design. Not sure how they’d run with a bracelet without compromising the fixed lug but I’d be curious to see.

The strap has come a long way since the initial MN, and the oem offering on the black is far more comfortable imo. You can see how the strap bends in my pic on the right, but the newer strap has more structure and supports it on the wrist perfectly.

True! This one has logged plenty of dive time, but not this weekend. Thankfully it's a pretty good companion even on land.

That black CWC goes pretty hard! Nice trio 👍

commented on blake_buettner's WRUW ·

I do! However, I've been wearing the Apple Watch Ultra on that wrist for some training and using the other wrist for my regular rotation watches.

Would love that, anytime my friend.
