How do you compare the wearing experience of the Tudor BB GMT Vs the FXD? They’re both “large” watches, but given the titanium of the FXD, I’d imagine it’s easier on the wrist. Curious to read your comments on that.
I like both of them a lot. They are equally comfortable. GMT is my daily. It has great wrist presence. The thickness is not noticeable and it slips under the cuff very well. I really enjoy the bracelet, which is extremely comfortable. It’s so good that most days I don’t even bother taking it off to sleep. I’ll wear it straight through from Monday through Friday except for showers and workouts.
FXD has the same case width, but the bezel protrudes from the case ever so slightly. The bezel also has a more aggressive knurling. I find that the bezel will catch on elastic cuffs (like what you find on down jackets). On the other hand, the FXD weighs in at 78 grams on the Velcro strap, so it’s great for working out or sports. Thickness wise, the case is thinner than the GMT, but the NATO strap adds a couple mm back. It’s effectively the same height as the GMT.
