Own it and love it. Titanium is a plus, and bezel is just fantastic. I love the rugged, stiffer-feel, it turns in second-increments as opposed to Rolex's standard half-second increments, but it feels really well built (which, it is). Spring loaded clasp makes it one of the best wearing watches ever, incredibly comfortable. The colour is super unique, love the matte finishes as well. The white markers are very eye-catching. And yes, it might feel thicker, but like others have said, its a deep diver, so its ok :)
Extremely happy with blue Pelagos, easily one of / if not my favourite modern-day Tudor. I don't mind the many-lines-of-text on the dial, I'm okay with that, its nice to differentiate it from the previous ETA version. Oh and with in-house movement? Win-win! OH, and lume is just EPIC. In fact, I liked it so much, I picked up two. |

I have been kicking around buying one of these for a graduation gift to myself. This thread might have just put me over the edge...

I own a blue Pelagos and love it! Just bought a GMT master II and to be honest that bracelet is more comfortable then the Pelagos. Less tendency to adjust during the day. Lume is the same material I think but much thicker applied on the Pelagos and therefore much better.
Overall quality is about 95% of the Rolex for 50% of the price. Really close. Easy to see they are related. Price/quality is awesone. |

I own the Blue Pelagos and think it is a great watch. Case, bracelet, lume and movement are all first class. The price point is very attractive and I will make the argument that for the money it may be the best diver on the market. I also have the Pelagos LHD and once again a great watch.

Talk about easy to read! This is a fantastic watch, probably one of the best dials out there for reading time at a glance in all light levels

I tried it on yesterday at Tourneau. Very beautiful light watch.
If I find a used one at the right price, I may consider. |

And another plus point, the Titanium case is very resistant to scratches

I think it's a great watch and a good bang for the buck, as well. Big fan here.
My only knock on it, and it would be a very tiny one at that, is that the entire surface is brushed, whereas you get a mixture of polished and brushed surfaces on say, a sub. But, some may find that desirable as it kind of adds to the "tool" watch vibe. |
