Well, I was one those who wasn't too excited about this watch but after looking into what Breitlight actually is and handling one at the AD, I was sold. I ended up picking up the blue version. Almost every AD local to me is sold out. Videos and pictures don't really show how well its is executed. Feels like a high quality product like you'd expect from Breitling. Been wearing it for a few hours and just love how light it is on the wrist. Truly the perfect daily. Extremely accurate, very durable and extremely comfortable. I went from hating it to loving it. I admit, I was totally wrong about it!
Thank you for sharing your impressions about the Endurance Pro with us! I assume this is what many will experience once they have felt/seen the watch on their wrist. Share more impressions with us if you wish and let me know if you have any questions...
I tried the watch on my wrist last weekend and it felt amazing. So lightweight I wasn't expecting it, and really comfortable. I'm buying this one in blue/black for my 30th birthday next year. Been in love with Breitling since my dad introduced me to the brand with his amazing Breitling Jupiter Pilot, this will be my first Breitling, very excited. Great review video! Most complete one I've ever seen.
Gonçalo, thanks for the feedback, I am happy to read this! You did the right thing... Only by trying the ultra-lightweight chronograph and experiencing the vibrant colors you can discover the "Endurance Pro" correctly... Let me know if you have questions ...
Just got the Ironman black and copper and it's beautiful. Big, sophisticated and so light. I never wanted quartz in my collection but this just ticks all the (other) boxes. Very happy. Thanks Breitling
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us! May your Breitling continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
For me it is always blue but this one is a little bit darker, but i like also the orange and yellow one they are brighter is kinda look more sporty. Is going to be a hard decision.
Cool! Congratulations! Once you have, please let us know how it feels to wear that 64 grams watch on the wrist... and of course what you think in general...
I tried one on the other day and I really liked it. I have some expensive automatic pieces and one of these would really complement my collection. I’m quite sporty and these feel really sporty and super comfortable. It also feels like a complete contrast to my automatic pieces which is good. Being a quartz it would make a great grab and go sporty watch. I’ve spoken to three AD’s and they are selling very well too.
Today I finally saw the Watches of Switzerland special edition green version in the wild and I think the colour chosen gives this watch a nice military looking vibe. These are fun summery looking pieces and personally I think the orange version really pops nicely and looks quite funky. My only gripe is that the bezel and dial look a little busy and I didn’t even realise it had a date window tucked away! As you say a nice sporty secondary watch that doesn’t take itself too seriously but I’d stump up the difference and get an Aerospace which is one of my favourite most comfortable watches of the last 15 years.
I love bold sporty watch designs and the new Endurance Pro has won my heart! I’m usually not taken with Breitling as many of their designs are caught between dressy and sporty and not fulfilling either but the Endurance Pro nails it as a fun, casual yet desirable timepiece. Also much prefer the useable quartz. It’s on the list! Thanks for the video👍
My words… thanks for sharing your passion! Go and try that ultralight watch on your wrist… you will even like more thereafter … Lee me know if you have any questions…
This is a cool watch and i like the color options. Longer than 30 min chrono would be nice but you can use the bezel to mark the starting hour. I don't know why people keep saying plastic. It's the same as ALL carbon fiber polymer cases including the 30,000 AP FC diver. So it's plastic when you don't like a watch and exotic when you do? I'm at the point in my collecting where I have all the "keepers" in the collection that I'm happy with so I'm into these fun colorful pieces that you can just pick up and enjoy wearing. There is definitely a market for this. Enthusiasts that have already had everything normal, people that don't take their watches so seriously but still like a quality, name brand watch, and as Alexander said active, sporting people that want a luxury watch. I think people that don't like quartz haven't had enough automatics. They're great and still preferred but you can get tired of them and there is definitely a place for quartz. If it has luxury features like solid construction and nice anti reflective crystal it doesn't matter to me that much and is preferred by me in several instances. Times have changed, the millennials run the show now and this kind of watch isn't out of the norm for them as kind of a fashion watch. I'd almost argue that the Speedmaster MOTFM is a fashion accessory people wear to be fashionable and universally accepted and praised in the watch community. It's an easy choice. Watches like this actually take some risk. I will definitely have to go see this in person to see how the size is. I have 6.5 inch wrists so this just might be too big. Breitling and their sizes...... I was hoping there would be a slight reduction and there has been but still on some of the models like the Avenger 43 I was hoping 41-42 as I love that watch.
Very interesting read! Thanks for sharing! Wonderful! A clear and unagitated statement. I have nothing to add. Strange enough that so many literally overreacted when they saw the Endurance Pro in the video and had nothing good to say and/or simply bashed it. Reality though is what you wrote. You see things pragmatic and you are open minded! Bravo!
My current watch is a Blue Titanium Chrono Avenger that I have worn daily for the last 15 years. This watch would be a worthy successor. I can travel travel to far off places and it wouldn't attract any attention. People assumed I'm wearing a Swatch. Same reason why I love my Chrono Avenger.
This super lightweight Breitling is exactly what you wrote... A reliable, daily companion that is totally under the radar ... Have you tried it yet? Let me know how that feeling of wearing 64 grams is...
In my opinion i think a lot of people forget the main purpose of a watch. A watch is a tool. Breitling makes luxury, durable and usefully watches.There watches are make for a purpose and this watch is know different. You don't need to be an athlete to own this watch. It's made for everyday use. i'm definitely getting one
Just bought the red one and I love it, people talking about ''quartz its not an automatic'' that's not what the watch is about! It's an everyday fucking about watch just a casually daily and if your bothered about a cheap richard mille rip off you don't know watches and cant afford an everyday casual breitling... its a great watch and looks the real deal for a casual.... keep dreaming ✨.
Great vid. Lighting, focus and details are all top notch. This watch is not for everyone. I've had the yellow Endurance Pro for just a few days now and it's really growing on me. I'm no athlete and I doubt I'll ever use the chronometer functions but the styling really stands out and that's what led me to purchase it.
This is anyhow more a very cool everyday/otdoor watch, than a watch for athletes... I think I clearly said this in the video... Thanks for your kind feedback! By the way: Yellow is a good choice... I also liked the red ...
We see brands repositioning themselves on the price range scale. Patek are catching up with their sky high grey market prices. Rolex gets to Patek from 2 years ago price level. Omega to Rolex from 2019 and Breitling to the level of Omega from 2019. We need to see how this restructuring works out. Breitling have a lot of work on strengthening their brand value to do.
Excellent review of the watch. I’ve ordered this watch and this video has answered all the questions I had in my mind. The overall overview of the watch was excellent.
Kevin, I am happy to read this! Thank you for the feedback! Which one did you order? Let me know if there is anything you still want to know... Just one little remark: The weight of the entire watch is 64 grams ... There is/was a mistake on the Breitling website...
I am sure you did! This is the type of cool watch that let you forget any smart watch… May your Breitling always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours…
Love those models! But the chronograph second hand on the yellow version seems misaligned... Quality control issue? Good job with your reviews! Really enjoy them.
Jean-Francois Groulx Not really is more an issue of the angle of the camera... I thought the same first... and of course this we’re pre-series watches to be shown to the retail and not to be sold to a final customer...
Absolutely loved them ❤️🤠 Wanna know why? The SEA ANCHOR IS BACK. Huge deal in aviation circles which Breitling hast kept neglecting for years. These are 20mm lug bands? I would immediately slap my pro2 bracelet. I would have to choose the really loud red one. Something Breitling keeps messing up with are the bracelets. There should be deployant options. I cannot stand tang buckles, too many reasons.
Totally agree Alexander regarding the Tag Formula 1 Chrono. As soon as I seen it, that's what I thought of. I too had one back then - Glad you said that - Well done.
I love this watches and Im getting one. But im curious...exactly how will this watch work for triathlons? How are you measuring the swim, bike and run?
Good choice! The "Endurance Pro" is a normal chronograph... so it won't give you any additional information than "elapsed time" and "time" ... This is an ultralight and good looking watch though... the perfect one to wear outdoors since don't even feel it on your wrist ...
Interesting pieces. Looks like the old breitling aerospace. i think a Military Green/khaki/brown colorway would be excellent and take it from the triathlon to the great outdoors. So there‘s room to build the Collection even further
I’m planning to purchase this watch but I want to make sure that I’m not buying a expensive “ plastic Gshock “ how I read in the comments. My first experience with Breitling was frustrating because I purchased the Avenger pre-Owned couple weeks ago in a Jewelry, the Chronograph and Date were not working good. I had to return the watch. By the way I’m satisfied because I’m looking a watch for wearing every day and that model was little bit heavy. All my life I have been wearing Tag Heuer, I love it but now I want something different. I really want to make sure if I’m taking good decision and investing 3k on the right watch. I use to practice a lot sports like running, biking, gym. Now I don’t, so that’s not the reason way I’m looking this watch. I’m looking for everyday.... How it looks with leather strap? and wats the real weight?
Best what you can do ist and go for a touch and feel... You will like that ultralight and immeadate warm feeling on your wrist... Let your heart decide, buy emotional and not rational. No one really needs a wristwatch these days, but it is simply cool to have one...
Thank you for the review. Very well done. Do you know why the “11” on the dial does have lumens please? At time 13:00 in your video I do not see “11” light up in the dark? Thanks
Got the White One. Love it. Love the light weight and crystal throws off nice colors. Caught my doctor eyeing it today. Just getting started with nice watches with Panerai, Bell & Ross and this one purchased in the last month. This Breitling is my favorite.
Brian, I think you had your watches reviewed by Archie luxury who bombed on this Breitling. I love bold and sporty watches and the Endurance Pro has just gone to the top of my list. Wear what you like and how it makes you feel and forget about watch snobs. Thanks 👍👏🙂
Very helpful ive just brought one in blue. I was going to buy the avenger with the green strap but it was almost £5000 so i went for this one instead at £2800 .
Breitling do Tissot crossed with Casio crossed with Tag. They must be going for the lower market segment although this is not a cheap watch. It’s fun and technical looking but 30 mins chrono is quite limited. And that size is a little on the large size. I guess the demographic is 18-30 and that’s fine. It would be a fun watch to go running/biking/skiing etc but no good for wearing at the beach so much. Breitling seem to be going all out for the rainbow colours these days! I had a Casio TideMaster with similar hand alignment function. It was a pain as the hands were going out of alignment all the time. Better luck with Breitling!
WatchAdvisor yes thanks. I’ve got a Breitling Aerospace and the analogue minute hand only went out of alignment with the digital time once recently with a slight knock to the case. Easily put back into synchronisation.
the Epster If you are not aware of the problem you my ask yourself, why is the guy explaining this in the video... Those who experienced it know why ... 😉
Definitely for sports people. I am frequent visitor to the gym. Not sure how it will fit me in my exercise environment. Also need to see the watch at the Boutique.
Ultra, ultra light ... therefore you don't even feel the watch on your wrist... you will like the "Endurance Pro"! You will only have to choose your favorite color...
No, no! No Bluetooth necessary... A pulsometer scale is calibrated to 15 or 30 pulsations. Start the chronograph and count your heartbeats until you get to the number the scale is calibrated for. Stop the chronograph and you will read your heart rate in beats per minute from the scale...
How does the watch time for more than 30 minutes of activity? For example, if you were to rif=e for 93:00 minutes, how would the watch indicate the you have been riding for 93:00 minutes?
@@WatchAdvisor unfortunately, not yet. Need to try them on once ADs open up again in Germany. It’s very unlikely i would buy one, but indeed want to see them in person on the wrist
Nope! A Suunto and a G-Shock are a kind of digital mini mundus with dozens of functions. The Breitling is chronograph pure... The Breitling is an alternative for luxury watch owners that want a I'll-go-rough-watch that looks good, offers very good quality and has a luxury label on the dial. Customers are there, Breitling is now picking up the money...
WatchAdvisor Luxury is when You paying a lot more for a little better or You pay to get something You don’t need but You just want to have it. Painted name on something has nothing to do with luxury but it has a lot to do with snobbery. In my opinion, of course.
Wojciech Patalas In this case you buy a luxury label offering you a cool and vibrant watch outdoor watch as an alternative to your other ones... Don’t expect too much, just see it realistically...
I will find out more in the next days... This is what I can quote today “Breitlight polymer, essentially a scratch-proof amalgam that is lighter than titanium and stronger than steel.”
@@WatchAdvisor Yes I have severalFavorites! Chronomat. 2 Tone Black Dial 18KT Rose Gold. Navitimer again 2 T. Black Dial 18KT Rose Gold!! The Professional Quartz Analog Digital Professional Very Accurate Quartz and B2 Model with 2nd Hand. All Beautiful Time Pieces!! Elegant, Classy, Beautiful Time Pieces!!
All Endurance Pro shown in the video in that early stage where still prototypes... No issue with hands alignment with any watch sold later... Wich color is your favorite?
Cool! Congratulation! Which color did you choose? How does this ultra-light watch feel on your wrist?

@@WatchAdvisor Thank you! They are perfect! Hand doesn't feel heavy at all and they definitely not have a plastic feel (as someone is mentioning here in the comments)! They are pretty well built, using durable materials! I went for the most decent colour of this series - blue.
I've been considering the Superocean for a longer period since I really like the Orange Pro Rubber strap. So to see it come on a brand new model that also happens to be 500 EUR cheaper and actually looks a lot nicer really gets me exited! All my more expensive watches were often bought after months or years of carefully considering and weighting my options, but this is the first time I have immediately informed with the local dealer when they will be available.
You will get exited when you will have them on your wrist the first time... Ultralight and a warm and comfortable feeling in the first seconds... The Endurance Pro is fun watch to wear, a statement and an alternative when you want to leave your other ticking babies home for a good reason... Nothing wrong with that Breitling...
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you for your message, and your thorough review as well. It really helped me make my choice. If I buy it, it will be the first watch in this price range that I've bought retail so in that way it would be a small milestone in my collection as well. The only issue is that Breitling is advertising it's availability everywhere, but the dealers that I've contacted all say that they have no date yet for when this watch will be available for sale.
@@WatchAdvisor I would appreciate that! Thank you! I'm based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I plan to buy it at an independent jewelry shop in the nearby city of Breda (since I've gotten good experience with them and they service all my watches). I contacted both the independent shop and a store of the largest chain in the Netherlands (Schaap + Citroen), both say to expect them somewhere in the next weeks but cannot mention a precise date.
@ekim andersom Het gaat mij er niet om dat ik 2-3 weken moet wachten, maar het is meer dat Breitling overal adverteert met "available now" en als je dan bij de dealer informeert dit blijkbaar niet klopt.
Thank you for an excellent and informative video on these Breitling Endurance watches. As we speak, I am wearing the yellow Tag Heuer F1 I bought in 1991. It still works perfectly 😀
Because it is a Breitling! Those wanting to by a Casio or an Apple Watch won’t touch the Breitling... It is a different customer with more affinity for a luxury product...
Why does it have to be one or the other? I have high end G-Shocks, an Endurance Pro, a Ball Roadmaster Marine. They all have their place and if you dig watches then you dig watches. Also, hello from the future, I hope you’ve had time to reflect on your post.
Great review! I'm split between blue, white and orange. White seems to be easier to match with most outfits but would you think the white rubber strap and white crown protector would turn brown or easy to get dirty? Thank you
I admire Breitling for thinking outside the box. The watch jewelry brands (Rolex, Omega) are making old and stale mechanical models in comparison and rely on fancy marketing. I’m quite sure the accuracy of the thermo-compensated super quartz movement blows away the jewelry watches. I’m looking at the Colt model currently.
got a white one as a vacation / daily wear and like how it reads and feels on wrist even tho its dang near weightless. That weightlessness makes it feel a bit tall and I bang it into things often lol but seems to take the beating just fine
Interesting watches but to make final judgement I need to try them on. If they really are 64g (Breitling website states 116g) they should be great for running and cycling. The red and orange look fantastic. Does the chronograph keep running after the 30 min or does it stop? I remember having a Seiko that would stop after the chrono minute hand reached 30.
Jan Novotny I weighed the watches and I definitely always saw 64 grams on my accurate electronic kitchen scale ... 🤷🏻♂️ Wouldn’t write it otherwise... Does the 30 minute counter stop? Good question! I suppose it does to safe energy... Will find that out... And yes, try it on your wrist, since it is quite a sensation to feel this ultralight watch ...
@@tobiasbrunner4720 I understand your point but I do running and cycling for fun, collecting "performance data" isn't fun for me and I don't do any competitions/events so I don't have the need to hone and fine tune my fitness. Having a light watch with a nice brand name that's lifetime serviceable is more appealing to me even if I can get something similar for less than 5% of the price. Idiosyncrasies of a watch enthusiast 😀
I have the Carolina Blue; probably wasn’t available at the time of this video. My only complaint is that the band is a bit stiff - it looks great with the Breitling imprint, but not very pliable. Extremely light watch & well proportioned. The White would be my 2nd choice - very clean contrast.
The video is online since August 2020… of course specs/colors may change… I noticed the same with the strap… a bit stiff - yes! I expect it to get softer after been worn for a while though… keep us posted please…
I'm normally not Breitlings biggest fan but I like these for some reason. I would like these for mountain biking but it's a hard sell vs offerings from Luminox don't you think? Very similar aesthetic plus tritium tubes and a much cheaper price in a lightweight polymer case.
Luminox is a cool brand - no doubt! But a potential customer for this Breitling will not consider buying a Luminox but this offer from “his” brand... Breitling delivers the luxury version with a pice surplus...
@@WatchAdvisor I think you might underestimate the cross-shopping. I own 2 victorinox inox watches as well as IWC and Panerai. Prices need to make sense, no matter what segment.
@ekim andersom plastic watches with quartz movements. theres no encahnced finishing, movement componenets, etc. the craftsmanship between seiko and higher end swiss watches can be argued. 2 plastic watches on rubber straps with quartz movements cannot, they cost the same to make, there is no justification for the price.
Thank you for the positive feedback! Do you mean Endurance Pro in blue? Did you see them in real already? Did you feel that lightness? 64 grams the entire watch... Crazy!
@@WatchAdvisor Endurance pro in blue for sure :D . i like both blue and yellow but blue seems more suitable for daily uses with all types of clothes and colors
Very thorough review Alex, but my only question is: can the owner change the battery? On their older aerospace models that was a factory service thing and a bit pricey.
If you are able to unscrew the case-bottom and you have the battery you can do that yourself. no big deal... One thing, the gasket should be changed too and the watch should undergo a water resistance check to be on the safe side ...
@ekim andersom Don't know where you got your numbers from; I got mine from the Breitling B-1 I used to own which had the super quartz movement. It would get ~4 years from a battery and the cost to replace it was ~470 USD from Breitling USA as no one else would work on it.
Hey Alexander. Have you seen the new Navitimer 1 41mm yet? Just noticed their 2020 models have an all blue or black dial. Would love to see you review these!!!!
2900 euros for a quartz ..... gshock has some great options for triathlon athletes... i love the navitimer b01 n (Not navitimer 8 collectio)n. i guess you can't respect every decision of a manufacturer. I still don't like porsche , Lamborghini and Aston Martin making SUV but hey🤷♂️ I don't have to spend my money on it. Everyone buys what they want.... i just don't see this being a success for the brand
Try the different Endurance Pro on your wrist and be sure to discover the colors under different light conditions... You will be astonished how the colors look different... by the way: my favorite was the yellow one 😉
Michael Well the way you see and summarize the Endurance Pro is not correct. It is not plastic but Breitlight®. This is a material exclusive to Breitling that was introduced in 2016. This robust, ultralight material is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel, nonmagnetic, thermally stable, and hypoallergenic. Breitlight® is highly resistant to scratches, traction, and corrosion. It also feels warmer to the touch than metal and has a slightly textured effect, accentuating the originality of the design. It is 100% Swiss made. The calibre is a thermo-compensated SuperQuartz. Accuracy +/- 10 seconds per year. The price is what it is... it is a Breitling... I would recommend you to broaden your mind... to go for a touch and feel and to discover the watch weighing only 64 grams ...
@@WatchAdvisor i'm not saying that it doesn't worth it. It just doesn't look like an expensive watch and most probably very few people would choose it. For professional sport analogue watch would never be better than digital and for people that buy watch to show status it doesn't make this breitling luxury feeling. With current financial situation of breitling launching such watch that would not be so popular is weard decision. But will see.
You definitely need to put it on your wrist... the entire watch, including the strap, only weighs 64 grams... this is a spectacular feeling... you will whilst doing this probably also start liking it, since the Endurance Pro is a cool watch ...
A 30 minute, QUARTZ, chronograph wristwatch that goes for only $3000. I'll buy one of each color. Those endurance athletes get better and better every year, only taking 30 minutes to complete an event.
Maybe you noticed it... I clearly between the lines made it clear that I don’t consider this watch to be a watch for triathletes but a cool lifestyle product ...
@@WatchAdvisor I liked your evaluation. My comments were meant to highlight Breitling's bold move to produce a 30 minute, QUARTZ chronograph watch retailing for $3000. I do not believe it is possible to find another current day 30 minute, QUARTZ chronograph wristwatch for $3000. That rarity alone makes it worth buying one, right? Keep up the good work.
Amy Peterson Breitling serves a particular clientele with this watch. People with an affinity for luxury products with a prominent name tag on it that look for a I’ll-go-rough-watch...
You need to change the battery all 3-4 years. This can only be done by a qualified watchmaker. He should not only change the battery but also the gaskets of the case bottom and test the watch thereafter if it waterproof...
@@WatchAdvisorAs rubber ages it becomes brittle, my concern is the colored rubber sleeve on the stem. Can replacements be purchased or must the stem be changed? Also are bracelets easily replaced?
10000000peso Yes, you can of course replace all parts of the Endurance Pro. I don’t doubt the quality of that strap ... OEM straps are being artificially aged and tested, quality controls are tough...
Who cares what others say? Are you buying a watch for them or for yourself? Buy what you like, act emotional and not rational... IMHO you are doing the right thing! Let me know if you have any questions...
The watch can be repaired of course! No resin used in the strap and the case is not plastic but Breitlight ... Breitlight® is a material exclusive to Breitling that was introduced in 2016.

Polarizing watch, yes casio might be better however this is for upper market. Now design vise not my taste but its something new and we are bored with rolex :)
Dersan Sevket SEZER Bravo! 👍🏻 You hit the nail! That’s exactly what the Endurance Pro is and that’s legitimate since there is lots of money to be picked up ...
Revisiting this video since I considered this model. There are two things that put me off: The busy dial with the word Endurance and Chronometer (would prefer just Chronometer above the running seconds. The second is the enlarged 3, 6, and 9 which speaks to Breitling's design ethos but really not required for a watch like this which is a pretty specific model for sport purposes. Also, the MSRP should have been $2495, not over $3K USD, but who am I to judge COGS and profits for a luxury watch brand? I'm still on the fence though about getting it.
When he knows how to unscrew the case-bottom and if he has the battery on stock... Yes! Best is to also change the gasket when opening the case after 3-4 years though...
Since it is not a diver, what can you do with a bezel? The watch per definition of Breitling is a watch for outdoor activities ... so a compass 🧭 is an option... In my opinion better than a 0 - 100 scale or any other silly stuff...
@@WatchAdvisor Is it fixed or rotating? If rotating they could put 0-60 on it for a basic timer. Or if fixed maybe a tachymeter? Can't see it as a compass without a magnetic needle unless I'm missing something. Thanks for the reply and good content btw :)
It is rotating of course, I do show it in the video... A 12 hour bezel to display a second zone-time... Then you still need to know if it is am or pm ...
Bravo! Well done 👍🏼 Thanks 🙏🏻 for the feedback ... 64 grams ... you will like that feeling on your wrist... as soon you have please share some impressions with us... and let me know if you have questions...
I am afraid to try this function if Breitling does not advertise the function, their sales people did not know about it, and the manual does not show it... Why would they not advertise this useful function?
Please do also read the description of the video to get more technical information. Your comments are welcome, your questions also ...
Well, I was one those who wasn't too excited about this watch but after looking into what Breitlight actually is and handling one at the AD, I was sold. I ended up picking up the blue version. Almost every AD local to me is sold out. Videos and pictures don't really show how well its is executed. Feels like a high quality product like you'd expect from Breitling. Been wearing it for a few hours and just love how light it is on the wrist. Truly the perfect daily. Extremely accurate, very durable and extremely comfortable. I went from hating it to loving it. I admit, I was totally wrong about it!
Thank you for sharing your impressions about the Endurance Pro with us! I assume this is what many will experience once they have felt/seen the watch on their wrist. Share more impressions with us if you wish and let me know if you have any questions...
I tried the watch on my wrist last weekend and it felt amazing. So lightweight I wasn't expecting it, and really comfortable. I'm buying this one in blue/black for my 30th birthday next year. Been in love with Breitling since my dad introduced me to the brand with his amazing Breitling Jupiter Pilot, this will be my first Breitling, very excited. Great review video! Most complete one I've ever seen.
Gonçalo, thanks for the feedback, I am happy to read this! You did the right thing... Only by trying the ultra-lightweight chronograph and experiencing the vibrant colors you can discover the "Endurance Pro" correctly... Let me know if you have questions ...
Just got the Ironman black and copper and it's beautiful. Big, sophisticated and so light. I never wanted quartz in my collection but this just ticks all the (other) boxes. Very happy. Thanks Breitling
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us! May your Breitling continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
Wooo this is amazing, apsolutely amazing, Love it, finaly something different with quartz on another level and with decent price.
Did you choose you color yet?
For me it is always blue but this one is a little bit darker, but i like also the orange and yellow one they are brighter is kinda look more sporty. Is going to be a hard decision.
Bojan In this case it is a clear decision for either the yellow or orange... I am a huge fan of blue, but this watch deserves a vibrant color...
Ordered mine in yellow today, can't wait ... this will be my first super quartz.
Cool! Congratulations! Once you have, please let us know how it feels to wear that 64 grams watch on the wrist... and of course what you think in general...
Are you liking it?
I tried one on the other day and I really liked it. I have some expensive automatic pieces and one of these would really complement my collection. I’m quite sporty and these feel really sporty and super comfortable. It also feels like a complete contrast to my automatic pieces which is good. Being a quartz it would make a great grab and go sporty watch. I’ve spoken to three AD’s and they are selling very well too.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Thats more or less exactly what I said and predicted. I am happy to read this... 😉
Today I finally saw the Watches of Switzerland special edition green version in the wild and I think the colour chosen gives this watch a nice military looking vibe. These are fun summery looking pieces and personally I think the orange version really pops nicely and looks quite funky. My only gripe is that the bezel and dial look a little busy and I didn’t even realise it had a date window tucked away! As you say a nice sporty secondary watch that doesn’t take itself too seriously but I’d stump up the difference and get an Aerospace which is one of my favourite most comfortable watches of the last 15 years.
I love bold sporty watch designs and the new Endurance Pro has won my heart! I’m usually not taken with Breitling as many of their designs are caught between dressy and sporty and not fulfilling either but the Endurance Pro nails it as a fun, casual
yet desirable timepiece. Also much prefer the useable quartz. It’s on the list! Thanks for the video👍
My words… thanks for sharing your passion! Go and try that ultralight watch on your wrist… you will even like more thereafter … Lee me know if you have any questions…
This is a cool watch and i like the color options. Longer than 30 min chrono would be nice but you can use the bezel to mark the starting hour. I don't know why people keep saying plastic. It's the same as ALL carbon fiber polymer cases including the 30,000 AP FC diver. So it's plastic when you don't like a watch and exotic when you do? I'm at the point in my collecting where I have all the "keepers" in the collection that I'm happy with so I'm into these fun colorful pieces that you can just pick up and enjoy wearing. There is definitely a market for this. Enthusiasts that have already had everything normal, people that don't take their watches so seriously but still like a quality, name brand watch, and as Alexander said active, sporting people that want a luxury watch.
I think people that don't like quartz haven't had enough automatics. They're great and still preferred but you can get tired of them and there is definitely a place for quartz. If it has luxury features like solid construction and nice anti reflective crystal it doesn't matter to me that much and is preferred by me in several instances.
Times have changed, the millennials run the show now and this kind of watch isn't out of the norm for them as kind of a fashion watch. I'd almost argue that the Speedmaster MOTFM is a fashion accessory people wear to be fashionable and universally accepted and praised in the watch community. It's an easy choice. Watches like this actually take some risk.
I will definitely have to go see this in person to see how the size is. I have 6.5 inch wrists so this just might be too big. Breitling and their sizes...... I was hoping there would be a slight reduction and there has been but still on some of the models like the Avenger 43 I was hoping 41-42 as I love that watch.
Very interesting read! Thanks for sharing! Wonderful! A clear and unagitated statement. I have nothing to add. Strange enough that so many literally overreacted when they saw the Endurance Pro in the video and had nothing good to say and/or simply bashed it. Reality though is what you wrote. You see things pragmatic and you are open minded! Bravo!
I LOVE this line of watches
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
My current watch is a Blue Titanium Chrono Avenger that I have worn daily for the last 15 years. This watch would be a worthy successor. I can travel travel to far off places and it wouldn't attract any attention. People assumed I'm wearing a Swatch. Same reason why I love my Chrono Avenger.
This super lightweight Breitling is exactly what you wrote... A reliable, daily companion that is totally under the radar ... Have you tried it yet? Let me know how that feeling of wearing 64 grams is...
In my opinion i think a lot of people forget the main purpose of a watch. A watch is a tool. Breitling makes luxury, durable and usefully watches.There watches are make for a purpose and this watch is know different. You don't need to be an athlete to own this watch. It's made for everyday use. i'm definitely getting one
Good decision! And the correct way to see the Endurance Pro... Did you decide which color yet?
At first I didn’t like these at all. Now I am considering one of these especially for skiing and working with clients
Which color will you choose? Please keep us posted….
Just bought the red one and I love it, people talking about ''quartz its not an automatic'' that's not what the watch is about! It's an everyday fucking about watch just a casually daily and if your bothered about a cheap richard mille rip off you don't know watches and cant afford an everyday casual breitling... its a great watch and looks the real deal for a casual.... keep dreaming ✨.
Bravo 👏🏻 well done! Thanks for sharing your passion with us! May your Endurance Pro always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Really good watch. High quality quartz for daily wear. Breitling alignment and detail is excellent. I’d get one of these.
True! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. May your Endurance Pro always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
I was surprised how much I like this watch when I tried them at the store. I liked it more than any other Breitling they had in stock.
Did you buy one and/or are you planing to buy one? Which color would you choose?
@@WatchAdvisor No I bought an Omega SMP with the blue dial instead. I may buy one in the future. My head says blue, my heart says yellow.
I like it. A lot. No problem with the quartz either. After all, if this were grand seiko, everyone would be falling over each other to offer praise.
Great vid. Lighting, focus and details are all top notch. This watch is not for everyone. I've had the yellow Endurance Pro for just a few days now and it's really growing on me.
I'm no athlete and I doubt I'll ever use the chronometer functions but the styling really stands out and that's what led me to purchase it.
This is anyhow more a very cool everyday/otdoor watch, than a watch for athletes... I think I clearly said this in the video... Thanks for your kind feedback! By the way: Yellow is a good choice... I also liked the red ...
We see brands repositioning themselves on the price range scale. Patek are catching up with their sky high grey market prices. Rolex gets to Patek from 2 years ago price level. Omega to Rolex from 2019 and Breitling to the level of Omega from 2019. We need to see how this restructuring works out. Breitling have a lot of work on strengthening their brand value to do.
Only time will tell... end of the day we decide, since we are those buying or not ...
Excellent review of the watch. I’ve ordered this watch and this video has answered all the questions I had in my mind. The overall overview of the watch was excellent.
Kevin, I am happy to read this! Thank you for the feedback! Which one did you order? Let me know if there is anything you still want to know... Just one little remark: The weight of the entire watch is 64 grams ... There is/was a mistake on the Breitling website...
Bought the baby blue version last month. A great fun summer watch - I run with it. Haven’t worn my smart watch since I got it.
I am sure you did! This is the type of cool watch that let you forget any smart watch… May your Breitling always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours…
Just purchased the yellow edition. Very happy and thank you for the insight.
You are welcome! Bravo! Congratulations! May your Endurance Pro always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Congrats! I’d love the yellow as well and perhaps white. Already have orange accent watches which I also love.
Love those models! But the chronograph second hand on the yellow version seems misaligned... Quality control issue?
Good job with your reviews! Really enjoy them.
Jean-Francois Groulx Not really is more an issue of the angle of the camera... I thought the same first... and of course this we’re pre-series watches to be shown to the retail and not to be sold to a final customer...
These are great fun watches! Many health care professionals wear this! Thanks for the video!
Which one would you choose?
@@WatchAdvisor red
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely loved them ❤️🤠
Wanna know why? The SEA ANCHOR IS BACK. Huge deal in aviation circles which Breitling hast kept neglecting for years. These are 20mm lug bands? I would immediately slap my pro2 bracelet. I would have to choose the really loud red one. Something Breitling keeps messing up with are the bracelets. There should be deployant options. I cannot stand tang buckles, too many reasons.
Albert, go and try that red one... You must experience this ultralight watch on your wrist...
Reminds me a little bit of my old Breitling Aerospace. My favourite of these is the red one.
Even though I am a big fan of blue my two favorite ones are the yellow and orange...
Yes reminds me of my tag F1 watch ( I have the Mika Hakkinen with white dial)
Very much! The one from 1989, the first chronograph of that series...
Mine is the 2004
I have one of the early days an it still looks cool... maybe a bit to small for today... the new Breitling takes its place now ... 😉
Really enjoyed your review of the Breitling Endurance Pro collection.
Thank you very much! Please let me know if you have questions...
Totally agree Alexander regarding the Tag Formula 1 Chrono. As soon as I seen it, that's what I thought of. I too had one back then - Glad you said that - Well done.
It is not a a shame to look at the Formula 1 Chrono from 1989... That was Avery cool watch!
I wanna buy one even more thanks to all the haters on here. Great compliment to my other dressier watches
Don’t listen to what others say!!! Buy emotional, buy what YOU like and have fun with it. Let me know if you have any questions...
I love this watches and Im getting one. But im curious...exactly how will this watch work for triathlons? How are you measuring the swim, bike and run?
Good choice! The "Endurance Pro" is a normal chronograph... so it won't give you any additional information than "elapsed time" and "time" ... This is an ultralight and good looking watch though... the perfect one to wear outdoors since don't even feel it on your wrist ...
Interesting pieces. Looks like the old breitling aerospace. i think a Military Green/khaki/brown colorway would be excellent and take it from the triathlon to the great outdoors. So there‘s room to build the Collection even further
Yes, there is room for other colors, sizes and technical specifications...
I’m planning to purchase this watch but I want to make sure that I’m not buying a expensive “ plastic Gshock “ how I read in the comments. My first experience with Breitling was frustrating because I purchased the Avenger pre-Owned couple weeks ago in a Jewelry, the Chronograph and Date were not working good. I had to return the watch. By the way I’m satisfied because I’m looking a watch for wearing every day and that model was little bit heavy. All my life I have been wearing Tag Heuer, I love it but now I want something different. I really want to make sure if I’m taking good decision and investing 3k on the right watch. I use to practice a lot sports like running, biking, gym. Now I don’t, so that’s not the reason way I’m looking this watch. I’m looking for everyday.... How it looks with leather strap? and wats the real weight?
Best what you can do ist and go for a touch and feel... You will like that ultralight and immeadate warm feeling on your wrist... Let your heart decide, buy emotional and not rational. No one really needs a wristwatch these days, but it is simply cool to have one...
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you so much !
Thank you for the review. Very well done. Do you know why the “11” on the dial does have lumens please? At time 13:00 in your video I do not see “11” light up in the dark? Thanks
All watches got at that time were prototypes… this explains it…
@@WatchAdvisor thanks for the reply.
Can you explain the Compass scale and its purpose on the watch?
There is none! It is more a design element IMHO…
Got the White One. Love it. Love the light weight and crystal throws off nice colors. Caught my doctor eyeing it today. Just getting started with nice watches with Panerai, Bell & Ross and this one purchased in the last month. This Breitling is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations! May your Breitling always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours ...
I think im gonna get the yellow one …see it in the flesh today and fell in love with it
Brian, I think you had your watches reviewed by Archie luxury who bombed on this Breitling. I love bold and sporty watches and the Endurance Pro has just gone to the top of my list. Wear what you like and how it makes you feel and forget about watch snobs. Thanks 👍👏🙂
@@michaellau2544 Thank you, Michael. I hope you love your Endurance Pro as much as I do mine! Cheers
Very helpful ive just brought one in blue. I was going to buy the avenger with the green strap but it was almost £5000 so i went for this one instead at £2800 .
Congratulations! May your Breitling always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Breitling do Tissot crossed with Casio crossed with Tag. They must be going for the lower market segment although this is not a cheap watch. It’s fun and technical looking but 30 mins chrono is quite limited. And that size is a little on the large size. I guess the demographic is 18-30 and that’s fine. It would be a fun watch to go running/biking/skiing etc but no good for wearing at the beach so much. Breitling seem to be going all out for the rainbow colours these days! I had a Casio TideMaster with similar hand alignment function. It was a pain as the hands were going out of alignment all the time. Better luck with Breitling!
Interesting read, thanks for sharing. I showed in the video how to realign the hands... Did you see it?
WatchAdvisor yes thanks. I’ve got a Breitling Aerospace and the analogue minute hand only went out of alignment with the digital time once recently with a slight knock to the case. Easily put back into synchronisation.
the Epster If you are not aware of the problem you my ask yourself, why is the guy explaining this in the video... Those who experienced it know why ... 😉
Definitely for sports people. I am frequent visitor to the gym. Not sure how it will fit me in my exercise environment. Also need to see the watch at the Boutique.
Ultra, ultra light ... therefore you don't even feel the watch on your wrist... you will like the "Endurance Pro"! You will only have to choose your favorite color...
love the breitling!
Which color would you choose?
@@WatchAdvisor in Orange i have all my watches i like very much is my favorite color
I dont understand the ”pulse” part. Does it measure puls on the wrist or do I need a chest strap with BlueTooth, just like on my garmin?
No, no! No Bluetooth necessary... A pulsometer scale is calibrated to 15 or 30 pulsations. Start the chronograph and count your heartbeats until you get to the number the scale is calibrated for. Stop the chronograph and you will read your heart rate in beats per minute from the scale...
Thanks!
What an incredibly fun watch! Good for people like me who want a g shock but just can't make it fit:)
Try it and let me know what you think...
How does the watch time for more than 30 minutes of activity? For example, if you were to rif=e for 93:00 minutes, how would the watch indicate the you have been riding for 93:00 minutes?
Well, the only way to solve that issue is that one will have to memorize when he started the chronograph…
they look absolutely cool! fan of all breitling professional models! thanks for the video/showcase
Did you have the chance to try them on your wrist yet? 64 grams the entire watch... that's something you should experience by yourself ...
@@WatchAdvisor unfortunately, not yet. Need to try them on once ADs open up again in Germany. It’s very unlikely i would buy one, but indeed want to see them in person on the wrist
i love the yellow!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yellow and orange are my favorites! You must try them on your wrist! So light, you don’t believe it... Let me know once you’ve done it....
Great looking pieces, but basically a $3000 G-Shock or Suunto...am I wrong?
Nope! A Suunto and a G-Shock are a kind of digital mini mundus with dozens of functions. The Breitling is chronograph pure... The Breitling is an alternative for luxury watch owners that want a I'll-go-rough-watch that looks good, offers very good quality and has a luxury label on the dial. Customers are there, Breitling is now picking up the money...
no, a Suunto would be actually useful for triathletes. not like this... whatever this is.
WatchAdvisor Luxury is when You paying a lot more for a little better or You pay to get something You don’t need but You just want to have it. Painted name on something has nothing to do with luxury but it has a lot to do with snobbery. In my opinion, of course.
Tobias Brunner No one here said that the Endurance Pro is useful to triathletes... I clearly said it is a lifestyle watch...
Wojciech Patalas In this case you buy a luxury label offering you a cool and vibrant watch outdoor watch as an alternative to your other ones... Don’t expect too much, just see it realistically...
i understand the lightness of the material but how does it compare to steel to impacts? will it shatter?
No! Please read the description of the video...
@@WatchAdvisor Thanks Alex - a great review as always 👍
I will find out more in the next days... This is what I can quote today “Breitlight polymer, essentially a scratch-proof amalgam that is lighter than titanium and stronger than steel.”
I love Chronographs! I love Breitling!
Do you have a favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor Yes I have severalFavorites! Chronomat. 2 Tone Black Dial 18KT Rose Gold. Navitimer again 2 T. Black Dial 18KT Rose Gold!! The Professional Quartz Analog Digital Professional Very Accurate Quartz and B2 Model with 2nd Hand. All Beautiful Time Pieces!! Elegant, Classy, Beautiful Time Pieces!!
is this similar or copy of Pacific Diver from Luminox?
Also it's a pity that second hand does not line up with 12 marker.
All Endurance Pro shown in the video in that early stage where still prototypes... No issue with hands alignment with any watch sold later... Wich color is your favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor great! That’s good news. Many thx!
I feel that Orange is very sexy. But also scared that everyone will look at me :-)
Orange and yellow are my favorites… I wouldn’t mind wearing such a shiny color…
Thank you for your review! I just bought ones after I watched your video!
Cool! Congratulation! Which color did you choose? How does this ultra-light watch feel on your wrist?
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you! They are perfect! Hand doesn't feel heavy at all and they definitely not have a plastic feel (as someone is mentioning here in the comments)! They are pretty well built, using durable materials! I went for the most decent colour of this series - blue.
How much does Breitling charge to replace the battery? I know the watches has gaskets and must be tested. I like the red color.
@@JJ-rf7dg No idea… if the AD is really smart he charges you nothing … offers you a glass of champagne…. Treats you like a king…
I've been considering the Superocean for a longer period since I really like the Orange Pro Rubber strap. So to see it come on a brand new model that also happens to be 500 EUR cheaper and actually looks a lot nicer really gets me exited! All my more expensive watches were often bought after months or years of carefully considering and weighting my options, but this is the first time I have immediately informed with the local dealer when they will be available.
You will get exited when you will have them on your wrist the first time... Ultralight and a warm and comfortable feeling in the first seconds... The Endurance Pro is fun watch to wear, a statement and an alternative when you want to leave your other ticking babies home for a good reason... Nothing wrong with that Breitling...
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you for your message, and your thorough review as well. It really helped me make my choice. If I buy it, it will be the first watch in this price range that I've bought retail so in that way it would be a small milestone in my collection as well.
The only issue is that Breitling is advertising it's availability everywhere, but the dealers that I've contacted all say that they have no date yet for when this watch will be available for sale.
This is something I will find out for you tomorrow... Where are you based?
@@WatchAdvisor I would appreciate that! Thank you! I'm based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I plan to buy it at an independent jewelry shop in the nearby city of Breda (since I've gotten good experience with them and they service all my watches).
I contacted both the independent shop and a store of the largest chain in the Netherlands (Schaap + Citroen), both say to expect them somewhere in the next weeks but cannot mention a precise date.
@ekim andersom Het gaat mij er niet om dat ik 2-3 weken moet wachten, maar het is meer dat Breitling overal adverteert met "available now" en als je dan bij de dealer informeert dit blijkbaar niet klopt.
I love the Yellow & Orange one’s The blue is a classic
Thank you for an excellent and informative video on these Breitling Endurance watches. As we speak, I am wearing the yellow Tag Heuer F1 I bought in 1991. It still works perfectly 😀
Thanks for sharing! I have one too... but of course without a battery it will not tick ... Now I want to see if it still works...
@@WatchAdvisor I'm sure, even after all these years, that it will work perfectly🕰😀⏲
Why would one pick up one of these instead of an apple watch or a G-Shock?
Because it is a Breitling! Those wanting to by a Casio or an Apple Watch won’t touch the Breitling... It is a different customer with more affinity for a luxury product...
@@WatchAdvisor You really, seriously think so? 😮
Why does it have to be one or the other? I have high end G-Shocks, an Endurance Pro, a Ball Roadmaster Marine. They all have their place and if you dig watches then you dig watches. Also, hello from the future, I hope you’ve had time to reflect on your post.
Great review! I'm split between blue, white and orange. White seems to be easier to match with most outfits but would you think the white rubber strap and white crown protector would turn brown or easy to get dirty? Thank you
I’d go for either red or yellow... The watch is a watch to be worn with a cool outfit, so a bit of color doesn’t do any harm here...
I admire Breitling for thinking outside the box. The watch jewelry brands (Rolex, Omega) are making old and stale mechanical models in comparison and rely on fancy marketing. I’m quite sure the accuracy of the thermo-compensated super quartz movement blows away the jewelry watches. I’m looking at the Colt model currently.
Breitling always dared and presented some think-outside-the-box-watches... They wouldn’t have done it if they didn’t expect sales...
got a white one as a vacation / daily wear and like how it reads and feels on wrist even tho its dang near weightless. That weightlessness makes it feel a bit tall and I bang it into things often lol but seems to take the beating just fine
Thanks for sharing! May your Endurance Pro always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Interesting watches but to make final judgement I need to try them on. If they really are 64g (Breitling website states 116g) they should be great for running and cycling. The red and orange look fantastic. Does the chronograph keep running after the 30 min or does it stop? I remember having a Seiko that would stop after the chrono minute hand reached 30.
Jan Novotny I weighed the watches and I definitely always saw 64 grams on my accurate electronic kitchen scale ... 🤷🏻♂️ Wouldn’t write it otherwise... Does the 30 minute counter stop? Good question! I suppose it does to safe energy... Will find that out... And yes, try it on your wrist, since it is quite a sensation to feel this ultralight watch ...
please, buy a GPS watch for 1/10 of the price. if you are running and cycling. you will regret this!
@@tobiasbrunner4720 I understand your point but I do running and cycling for fun, collecting "performance data" isn't fun for me and I don't do any competitions/events so I don't have the need to hone and fine tune my fitness. Having a light watch with a nice brand name that's lifetime serviceable is more appealing to me even if I can get something similar for less than 5% of the price. Idiosyncrasies of a watch enthusiast 😀
I have the Carolina Blue; probably wasn’t available at the time of this video. My only complaint is that the band is a bit stiff - it looks great with the Breitling imprint, but not very pliable. Extremely light watch & well proportioned. The White would be my 2nd choice - very clean contrast.
The video is online since August 2020… of course specs/colors may change… I noticed the same with the strap… a bit stiff - yes! I expect it to get softer after been worn for a while though… keep us posted please…
Is there resin in the rubber band? I was just wondering because I'm allergic to resin. I know G Shock has resin in there watch bands.
Very good question! I will find out for you and come back...
The strap is of synthetic rubber. There is no resin included.
Great review, Alexander. Am a quartz fan, prefer the yellow. Thanks 👍.
For me in this case yellow and orange 🤣 No blue this time ...
Ha ha, you and your blue 😉😂...
I'm normally not Breitlings biggest fan but I like these for some reason. I would like these for mountain biking but it's a hard sell vs offerings from Luminox don't you think? Very similar aesthetic plus tritium tubes and a much cheaper price in a lightweight polymer case.
Luminox is a cool brand - no doubt! But a potential customer for this Breitling will not consider buying a Luminox but this offer from “his” brand... Breitling delivers the luxury version with a pice surplus...
@@WatchAdvisor I think you might underestimate the cross-shopping. I own 2 victorinox inox watches as well as IWC and Panerai. Prices need to make sense, no matter what segment.
@ekim andersom plastic watches with quartz movements. theres no encahnced finishing, movement componenets, etc. the craftsmanship between seiko and higher end swiss watches can be argued. 2 plastic watches on rubber straps with quartz movements cannot, they cost the same to make, there is no justification for the price.
nice detailed review, Tomorrow i will get my navy endurance pro
Thank you for the positive feedback! Do you mean Endurance Pro in blue? Did you see them in real already? Did you feel that lightness? 64 grams the entire watch... Crazy!
@@WatchAdvisor Endurance pro in blue for sure :D . i like both blue and yellow but blue seems more suitable for daily uses with all types of clothes and colors
If you switch to a Nato strap and the color doesn't match can you temporarily remove the colored surround from the crown?
Not really…
Does the chronograph stop after 30 minutes or does it keep going?
it keeps going until you stop it...
Very thorough review Alex, but my only question is: can the owner change the battery? On their older aerospace models that was a factory service thing and a bit pricey.
I seriously doubt it will be self changing batteries
If you are able to unscrew the case-bottom and you have the battery you can do that yourself. no big deal... One thing, the gasket should be changed too and the watch should undergo a water resistance check to be on the safe side ...
@ekim andersom Don't know where you got your numbers from; I got mine from the Breitling B-1 I used to own which had the super quartz movement. It would get ~4 years from a battery and the cost to replace it was ~470 USD from Breitling USA as no one else would work on it.
Hey Alexander. Have you seen the new Navitimer 1 41mm yet? Just noticed their 2020 models have an all blue or black dial. Would love to see you review these!!!!
Triple GGG's
Great watch. Great price. Great value retention.
Which one is your favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor White & black. Thanks again for the video.

How long do you have to wait?
WatchAdvisor watched was dispatched today, should be here tomorrow!
i have the cockpit B50 its quartz too..but what a great watch it is..I think that this watch will have the same impact.
2900 euros for a quartz ..... gshock has some great options for triathlon athletes... i love the navitimer b01 n
(Not navitimer 8 collectio)n. i guess you can't respect every decision of a manufacturer. I still don't like porsche , Lamborghini and Aston Martin making SUV but hey🤷♂️ I don't have to spend my money on it. Everyone buys what they want.... i just don't see this being a success for the brand
Time will tell... Tastes are different... Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
Red is beautiful 😍
Did you have the chance yet to try one of them on your wrist? 64 grams the entire watch! That’s something you need to experience...
Thinking about which to buy now. Actually changing my mind to the white 😂
£2,450 in U.K. (£51pm) so will get on finance 😁
Try the different Endurance Pro on your wrist and be sure to discover the colors under different light conditions... You will be astonished how the colors look different... by the way: my favorite was the yellow one 😉
Plastic case, quartz movement, rubber strap and a high price... Sounds like a success...😂👍
Michael Well the way you see and summarize the Endurance Pro is not correct. It is not plastic but Breitlight®. This is a material exclusive to Breitling that was introduced in 2016. This robust, ultralight material is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel, nonmagnetic, thermally stable, and hypoallergenic. Breitlight® is highly resistant to scratches, traction, and corrosion. It also feels warmer to the touch than metal and has a slightly textured effect, accentuating the originality of the design. It is 100% Swiss made. The calibre is a thermo-compensated SuperQuartz. Accuracy +/- 10 seconds per year. The price is what it is... it is a Breitling... I would recommend you to broaden your mind... to go for a touch and feel and to discover the watch weighing only 64 grams ...
@@WatchAdvisor i'm not saying that it doesn't worth it. It just doesn't look like an expensive watch and most probably very few people would choose it. For professional sport analogue watch would never be better than digital and for people that buy watch to show status it doesn't make this breitling luxury feeling. With current financial situation of breitling launching such watch that would not be so popular is weard decision. But will see.
You definitely need to put it on your wrist... the entire watch, including the strap, only weighs 64 grams... this is a spectacular feeling... you will whilst doing this probably also start liking it, since the Endurance Pro is a cool watch ...
@@WatchAdvisor what material is that the black light case is carbon or what?
@@Bumblebee76 No! A very durable and innovative "plastic" alloy... Hightech plastic if you wish...
I read on the Breitling website that it weighs in at 116,13 grams without strap and not 64 grams with strap as stated in this video.
I weight them ... 64 grams
That could be the weight with the NATO strap. I weighted the watches as shown in the video...
A 30 minute, QUARTZ, chronograph wristwatch that goes for only $3000. I'll buy one of each color. Those endurance athletes get better and better every year, only taking 30 minutes to complete an event.
Maybe you noticed it... I clearly between the lines made it clear that I don’t consider this watch to be a watch for triathletes but a cool lifestyle product ...
@@WatchAdvisor I liked your evaluation. My comments were meant to highlight Breitling's bold move to produce a 30 minute, QUARTZ chronograph watch retailing for $3000. I do not believe it is possible to find another current day 30 minute, QUARTZ chronograph wristwatch for $3000. That rarity alone makes it worth buying one, right? Keep up the good work.
Amy Peterson Breitling serves a particular clientele with this watch. People with an affinity for luxury products with a prominent name tag on it that look for a I’ll-go-rough-watch...
I wish to give one of your collection i am big fans of breitling...thanks
How does the battery last on those watches and can i change the battery myself or the watchmakers do it ?
You need to change the battery all 3-4 years. This can only be done by a qualified watchmaker. He should not only change the battery but also the gaskets of the case bottom and test the watch thereafter if it waterproof...
Good looking timepiece. I do like the yellow the best
Yellow and orange for me... 😉
What is the cost of battery replacement including new gasket?
I will find out and let you know...

@@WatchAdvisorAs rubber ages it becomes brittle, my concern is the colored rubber sleeve on the stem. Can replacements be purchased or must the stem be changed? Also are bracelets easily replaced?
10000000peso Yes, you can of course replace all parts of the Endurance Pro. I don’t doubt the quality of that strap ... OEM straps are being artificially aged and tested, quality controls are tough...
Looking at purchasing my first nice watch and I keep coming back to this one, despite all the hate it gets. Need to try one on!
Who cares what others say? Are you buying a watch for them or for yourself? Buy what you like, act emotional and not rational... IMHO you are doing the right thing! Let me know if you have any questions...

Polarizing watch, yes casio might be better however this is for upper market. Now design vise not my taste but its something new and we are bored with rolex :)
Dersan Sevket SEZER Bravo! 👍🏻 You hit the nail! That’s exactly what the Endurance Pro is and that’s legitimate since there is lots of money to be picked up ...
Alexander, do you have videos lined up of the new Rolex coming out next week?
I will discover the novelties next Wednesday in Geneva at the Rolex HQ, film them there and then have the videos online ASAP...
Just ordered mine in Light Blue 😊
Congratulations! How long do you have to wait?
@@WatchAdvisor 2 - 4 weeks. And I got it (of course brand new) for 2.600 Euro. Quite a good deal I would say ☺️
Keep us posted and please share some thoughts with us once you have it….
@@WatchAdvisor I’ll do!
Is your watch here yet, buddy?
Great potential but just a bit of too much happening on the dial. Clean the dial and it’s a stunner
Thanks for sharing your thought! What would you take away?
WatchAdvisor switch compasbezel to divebezel. Remove text on dial, smaller 3,6,9 indexes
Revisiting this video since I considered this model. There are two things that put me off: The busy dial with the word Endurance and Chronometer (would prefer just Chronometer above the running seconds. The second is the enlarged 3, 6, and 9 which speaks to Breitling's design ethos but really not required for a watch like this which is a pretty specific model for sport purposes. Also, the MSRP should have been $2495, not over $3K USD, but who am I to judge COGS and profits for a luxury watch brand? I'm still on the fence though about getting it.
Thanks for sharing our passion and your thoughts with us! I keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for you!
If it were $2500 I would have already bought one! At $3300 I have to think a bit more. I do like them a lot.
Can the battery be replaced at any watchmaker?
When he knows how to unscrew the case-bottom and if he has the battery on stock... Yes! Best is to also change the gasket when opening the case after 3-4 years though...
ekim andersom 🤷🏻♂️ that’s what Breitling communicates
I have the red one and LOVE it!!
How does this ultralight watch wear on the wrist?
@@WatchAdvisor Very light and comfortable, it's a great sports watch.
Two day's ago I bought Avenger Chronograph 45. What a beautiful watch. This one.......remove the wings PLEASE!
Wings or no wings - that's the question... If you ask three people you get five answers ...
Will it fit people who have skinny wrist?
Mine is 17 cm … if that helps…
I dont get the bezel? What is the purpose of the 360 degrees? Nice watch otherwise
Since it is not a diver, what can you do with a bezel? The watch per definition of Breitling is a watch for outdoor activities ... so a compass 🧭 is an option... In my opinion better than a 0 - 100 scale or any other silly stuff...
@@WatchAdvisor Is it fixed or rotating? If rotating they could put 0-60 on it for a basic timer. Or if fixed maybe a tachymeter? Can't see it as a compass without a magnetic needle unless I'm missing something. Thanks for the reply and good content btw :)
It is rotating of course, I do show it in the video... A 12 hour bezel to display a second zone-time... Then you still need to know if it is am or pm ...
@@WatchAdvisor ok thanks! Sorry must have missed that. Was watching the video while I work :)
No worries! Good to have you among us... Let me know if you have questions...
excellent review. i am in Qatar, already booked a red one in the AD
Bravo! Well done 👍🏼 Thanks 🙏🏻 for the feedback ... 64 grams ... you will like that feeling on your wrist... as soon you have please share some impressions with us... and let me know if you have questions...
Would you say that this model fit Tennis?
Absolutely! The entire watch weighs 64 grams...
Interesting that the user manual does not indicate that you can measure a split time with this movement!
In fact very interesting! Thanks for sharing...
I am afraid to try this function if Breitling does not advertise the function, their sales people did not know about it, and the manual does not show it... Why would they not advertise this useful function?
