I have a Ranger and do love it. The bright yellow and integrated strap kill the NF for me. Really interested in the experience folks have with the new manufacture movement tho.

North Flag for me. Hopefully the new in-house movement is quite promising.

Ranger for me, looks like it just came out of a 50 year old time capsule.

The yellow and the integrated bracelet were also concerns for me, but the yellow is sporty looking and I doubt that the integrated bracelet will ever present a problem in the years I have left.

I'm not one to go switching bands, straps, and bracelets anyway.

I like the watch's chunkiness.

North Flag by far! Heritage Ranger has nothing that the North Flag doesn't have better!

Last week I'd have said Ranger but this week I'm leaning more towards the NF.

Fell in love with the NF from the first I saw it; I'd love one if it didn't get in the way of my getting what I really want.

NF all day. Ranger is very nice but it's a bit overtly retro. If one was actually gonna put the watch thru hell, NF. If you wanna change straps all the time and have a bunch of fun looks, then sure, Ranger.
