Owner Review: Nodus Sector Sport Glacial

Nodus Sector Sport Glacial

Can a microbrand fulfill a one watch collection? Let’s face it, if you are reading this review, then you’re likely not in that frame of mind. BUT, if you know anyone who is, or (more likely) if you’re looking for a real everyday GADA value proposition; look no further than the Nodus Sector Sport.

I admit, the honeymoon is intense right now, but I do not foresee my mind ever being changed. The boys at Nodus totally knocked it out of the park with this one. At 38mm, the size is perfect. It fits virtually any wrist (save for The Incredible Hulk) & will never be too small or too big as style/trends inevitability change. Black, silver & glacial dial choices are truly unisex (mine will be passed on to my daughter) & are all equally at home from beach (150m Water Resistance) to the boardroom.

The build quality & finishing on the Nodus Sector Sport are top notch for the price point. Standard with an excellent 3 hole micro-adjust H-link stainless steel bracelet, solid end links, drilled lugs & a milled clasp. The mixture of brushed & polished surfaces with chamfered edges & a stepped, domed AR undercoated sapphire crystal complete the visual package. BUT the sunburst dial is the true star of the show (especially this colourway).

Also in the box; an additional high quality branded quick release leather strap. At $425 US, the above beats any major brand offering, but Wes and Cullen take it that much further and ship the robust & easily serviceable NH35 movement regulated to +/- 10 seconds per day. Even if the brand disappears, ANY watchmaker can service this piece for decades to come.

Here’s the kicker, when you contact Nodus (either by DM, web or email) you’ll inevitably be answered by one of the two owners. The same cannot be said about ANY major big brand. They are solid passionate watch enthusiasts who care about the brand, the customer & the community as a whole. Well done NODUS.
