[@wolfganghuber7873]

Do you mean the erika's?

[@timemanagementnc2979]

Thank you so much for this video. I have the blue FXD and really like the OEM fabric strap, but I’ve been trying to find a good alternative single pass fabric option to switch things up a bit. You gave me several. Thanks.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Glad it was helpful! Thx for watching.

[@jackblah5842]

Exact same boat as you, lots of new options to consider. Years ago I tried the Erika's on another watch and can totally relate to the fiddly clasp

[@JasonCohenphoto]

Another vote for Erikas. With a bit of practice the clasp becomes second nature and having endless adjustment is the best :)

[@BowlOfSalmon]

The struggle is real for me. But they do bring an excellent balance between comfort and support

[@JasonCohenphoto]

@@BowlOfSalmon They really do. One thing I have found that helps is putting some downward pressure on the attachment bar on the 6 o'clock position which lifts the opposite (closest to the buckle) side up. From there I use my fingernail through the buckle (where the strap passes through) to actually attach the buckle to the bar. When the buckle is being attached to the bar, the side of the bar which the buckle is going through is actually fully exposed (thanks to the downward pressure), so it is very easy to thread the buckle through. I find that if you try and thread the buckle through while the bar is flat (parallel) against your wrist, this makes it extremely difficult. If the bar is perpendicular to your wrist, it is super easy. I also find that if you are getting used to it or if the strap is brand new, it is helpful to loosen the bar to a less tight position so that you are not fighting the stiffness of the elastic band. I hope some of this is helpful :)

[@vmarsch]

@@JasonCohenphoto I have a different technique I call "pinching the corner": 1. Pinching the hook with your index finger on top and thumb on the bottom, near the edge closest to your body. 2. Draw the hook past the attachment bar. 3. Hold the hook in place with your index finger while lifting the corner of the attachment bar (closest to you) with your thumb. 4. Tuck the hook into the attachment bar with your middle finger. This has become so automatic that I had to watch myself do it to remember what exactly my fingers are doing.

[@paulsutphin6703]

Too expensive a strap to be so difficult to fasten. I bought one for my Bulova moon watch and it looks great, but the struggle to fasten it makes it nearly unwearable. Done with the brand given many other less pricy options of equal, or near equal, quality.

[@JasonCohenphoto]

@@paulsutphin6703 Sorry but I will have to respectfully disagree. I have tried several other budget options and the quality of strap is much different (especially after extended use). Also, the fastening really comes down to muscle memory and technique... After you get used to putting on/off, it is just as quick as any other option!

[@Oakcitywatches]

I recently got the black FXD and have had a tough time taking it off my wrist. Love everything about it. I have your same wrist size and wish they made it smaller but this watch doesn’t wear too big on the wrist.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Congrats. I feel the same tbh. Love it on the wrist. The fxd is soooo comfy. Not too big. But if I’m honest the p39 is better for size. Actually ideally. I’d want 40,5

[@richardwarren2024]

Excellent video, Salmon. Thank you for providing these options. For me, my favorites for my FXD MN are the Anti-Watch Watch Club black leather strap, a blue and white elastic NATO from Aliexpress, and the OEM straps. That said, I cannot imagine conducting any military operation with my watch secured to my wrist only by Velcro. It’s madness. I wouldn’t trust the Velcro to hold to my wrist during a game of soccer.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Yeah I left out the leather because I’m not a diver on leather type. But definetly another option

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Very true about the Velcro 😅 in terms Of never coming off I’d trust the rigger straps most.

[@stephen254]

I own both the Blue FXD MN and the Black FXD and equally enjoy both. They are the first watch where I have owned more than one variant and do not feel redundant. In terms of straps, I like Erika’s Original’s the most as I get the best fit on my 6.5 inch wrist and find them extremely comfortable. I know they are not inexpensive, but I value the quality and comfort on the wrist. Thanks for the excellent video. Is there a separate video comparing the two versions of the FXD or was this it?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I think I’ll leave it at this 😂 basically they are the same watch in different colors and if you age to choose only one it’s just a matter of personal preference and Never any right or wrong

for me, the 39 because of its size and EO MN strap are dedicated straps for my watches aside a nato or rubber. Erika’s are expensive but you are getting customization and quality hardware.

[@d.kashani]

@@BowlOfSalmonagreed. If it wasn’t for the size, I would’ve bought the fxd in black. The lume hands on the 39 turned me off. I ended up going with the new seiko sje093.

[@brendandegal9980]

I can't decide. I can only buy 1or 2 watches in this price range for the next 2 years probably. I'm leaning towards black for now but only by a very small margin. In a perfect world I would get the blue one, and the new black bay with the black bezel/dial both.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Tough choices man. Follow the gut. Black is pretty allround in all situations

[@justingalore123]

So I’ve got a Pelagos 39. Went to buy the blue Fxd but left with the black one - I just prefer the look. So I love them all but my choice is: black Fxd, Pelagos 39, Blue FXD. As for straps - the Tudor ones look and wear well but I agree about the pubes! The Erika is pretty great. I don’t really like a nato on it - too bulky. I love the comfort of the Garmin - someone needs to make better looking ones (maybe a stripe) with no horrible plastic end. That would be the winner for me. Thanks for the other tips - a couple more for me to test.

Just got an Erika’s for my black dial FXD. It’s a lovely strap although damn it’s hard to get through the lugs and even harder to fasten. Hopefully this gets easier but it’s not a quick change strap. I had also thought it would be mounted without material against the caseback but that is not how it works, unlike cheaper models. To be clear, that misunderstanding is on me!

Yep. Not the easiest install. To be honest. Most aren’t easy on the fxd. (Beside the regular nato ). The extra one layer fabric underneath I kinda enjoy tbh dunno why that is.

For the NMD straps, he's working on a titanium version which will pair perfectly with the FXD. Not sure when it's coming, presumably before summer if not earlier since he's almost done prototyping. Thanks for the great video! I have a blue FXD and love it. I do like the black as well, and might have gone for that if it came out sooner, but I got the blue and since it was a gift specific to 2023, and it's a '23, I'll keep this one forever. One other thing, I really like the association of MN with the FXD. It's very inline with the older Tudor Subs, with a modern take. The black and Red Bull Racing version just feel like they're marketing partnerships, diluting the line a bit. Still, all are very nice and you can't go wrong with any of them.

I love that black FXD though I think it would have been perfect if they pulled the size in 2mm in all directions and gave it a bi-directional bezel. We really need to get over the whole uni-directional thing, no one is relying on dive tables and their luxury dive watch to time a dive.

Two words. Pizza timer.

Nobody seems to get this. The bi-directional bezel tipped the scale for me and I love it. I don't understand why the black isn't the same.

What really pisses me off is when lazy companies make a 24hr GMT and keep the uni-directional bezel.

[@jamesd5689]

Love the look of the black in pictures, but have to agree that I'd prefer an improved pelagos 39.
