I have seen thousands of watches on your channel this one is a keeper I will go buy one right now.

It reminds me of the OrisBC3 Advanced Day-Date

I just ordered this watch last night after I seen your unboxing video last week. I seen that the blue sold out when I looked yesterday and said I better order before your review comes out just in case it sells out. Great looking really good specs and love the day date at the 6 o’clock. The green accents will go great for when I get my Area 51 Ford Bronco!

Gorgeous watch. Nodus is see definitely making a name for itself. The friction bidirectional countdown bezel is a highlight. Can't think of many better looking well made watches under $500.

I have the phantom (blue), which is now sold out. I love it it's the only watch I currently have on a bracelet. The first strap was an early order bonus, the second was to make up for a snafu with the end links getting lost.

I've had my eye on the current Tag Heuer Autavia for a while, but I just can't justify the spend, and it's a little big in my opinion. This Nodus has similar style cues, but in a much better size, and price range. Dare I say it, but I prefer this to the Tag, so I don't even want to call this an alternative, it's now my first choice and I did a buy 😎

Why have the date in a color that makes it hard to see?

That's a very unique dial and I will definitely get one! Blue dial was my first option but after seeing that salmon dial I totally changed my mind. Definitely will get a salmon dial one! Unfortunately both of these models are already sold out, I talked to Nodus watches and they restocking will be back in summer. I hope they will keep the prices same , fingers crossed.

Well, I bought one too. First new watch in a while and thanks.

Nice, thanks Rob!

Lovely. I have the sector sport and absolutely love it.

I need to get one of these Nodus watches. This might be the one if I can find a good deal.

I do like the Nodus watches.; Will likely be my next watch just trying to decide if I want a field or pilot.

The contrast between their high polish and satin blasted case is really nice. They would kill it if they had some sort of hardening treatment on the steel. My Sector Field in blue really looks more expensive than it was.

I like it and at $425 it seems a good deal! Has a bit of Oris look to it!

Love a countdown bezel!

I have one of Vaer's new Dive watches and really like it. It is assembled in the US also.

Vaer is a close competitor, also based and assembled in LA

Amazing

Random Rob (0:25) : "I don't judge watches..." Also Random Rob (1:09) : "I think I'm a pretty good judge of this because I get to see a lot of watches..." We're here because we want you to judge watches! Cool watch.

For the first couple of minutes, I was thinking, "weird, day and no date". Then I saw it in green. Definitely would want it in white.

I have the Nodus Sector Pilot Flyer with a copper/salmon dial that I had to get on eBay because this color way is sold out on Nodus. I just have two minor nits: the crown is a bit too sharp-edged and the lug holes are a bit too high, which means the first middle link juts out on each end of the end links. But overall this is a brilliant watch design and I love the originality.

Now that's my jababby!!

What about Raven, NTH, Monta, Halios, seems like they know a thing or two about watches. Obviously higher price points, also oak and Oscar, and Astor and banks, but all these brands are making killer watches..

They should have flipped the colors of the day/date, mostly because the date is more important that the day, but also continuity of the dial.... It is kinda chopped up with the day white

I’ve had mixed feelings about this one for a while and I’m glad you made a video on it! I think the reason I had mixed feelings was that bezel, I think a black one would compliment it more than the stainless steel. It would definitely make the green pop out more in my opinion. I know some of their other models have the option for what bezel you want..I really wish that was the case for this one However, the glass looks gorgeous! I actually haven’t seen or heard of a watch with domed glass under a flat crystal. Now I’m considering getting this or a Hamilton khaki field mechanical

Weiss Watches - Made in USA - the movement too (not sure they are "microbrand" but yeah)

Pretty great overall execution, thanks for the presentation. I would be a buyer if they upgraded the lume. I don't get the use of C1, its way less bright then C3 or even BGW9, even with the X1 version. They could have gone with what SWC did with the bunker and printed the numerals in lume, that would be nice. For me lume is too high up on the list to go for a watch that uses C1. Countdown bezel is killer though!

it is a combination between oris pro pilot and the recent yema flieger

Do you consider Lum-Tec to be a micro brand. in my humble opinion, they have their act together!

Vaer is a good mbrand out of CA.

Been a while since I liked a watch on this channel. I like that. Still, I rather buy a glycine for $300.

Nice kind of reminds me of a Hamilton officer? feild watch with a rotating bezzel. The date needs to be white though.

If the date was white, yes.

First!

I like day-date's placement and design. Looks way less awkward the Khaki King's.

This would be a great watch it only the date was legible! Why make it green, it's so hard to read?? Not practical. ☹️ Why not make the day window illegible as well for consistency? Doesn't make sense.

They may be assembled in USA but they use overseas parts. Hence why we didnt get our endlinks for 6 weeks after receiving the watch. Assembled in USA doesnt mean American parts. Japanese movement, Chinese endlinks, but its shipped to LA so its "made is USA." Nope. Incorrect advertising
