Your videos are something that just brings joy to my life Britt. During the worst part of the pandemic I worked at a hospital as ICU Doctor with another friends and the amount of stress that I have to live during those horrible days almost brought me to suffer depression, but thank God that didn’t happen. Then I found your channel and that was one of my little spaces to be distracted from all the horrible things the pandemic brought with it. Now two years later I still enjoy your new videos as if I were watching them for the first time.

God Bless you and James and thanks for everything you do to give us amazing content every week 🙌🏻🤩😎
As Scott has said, you are a HERO! I cannot even imagine the horrors of being a doctor during the pandemic. 😔💕💕💕 I’m so glad this channel brought any sense of joy during such a tough time!! Your comments always get me through F! 💕✨
Hi Brittany. I've never been a Nomos fan (I know, shock and horror), but this is the first one I think I might actually be lusting after. That green dial is so subtle yet popping. I would have preferred a fully brushed bracelet and clasp but certainly no deal breaker there. Great video. I think you may have just convinced me to order one.
100% agree about your thoughts on a screw-down crown. I know it ‘technically’ doesn’t matter….but to me it adds a degree of confidence when submerging it in water
@@BrittPearceWatches The Club Sport Neomatic 42 might be what you are looking for - screw down crown and 1000ft water resistance - it doesn't feel or look as big as the 42mm size would suggest.
I really like this iteration! I also don't mind the sub seconds or the polished clasp. Tbh, it looks fantastic and I can't wait to try one on in a few weeks when it hits the store shelves. Hoping they do more colours next year. If they did a salmon dial, omg I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Now a days there are a lot of great high end brands like Nomos providing comparable, if not superior, alternatives to Rolex product lines. Often with better tech, specs, and definitely price point value. Then you have microbrands like Monta and Traska offering extreme value and quality options - its wild what those brands are doing.
Amen brotha. It’s kind of fun, as the watch enthusiast community, knowing that we sort of have a responsibility to get these little guys out there. I love that every watch these guys sell out of, just makes the development budget for the next one even roomier.
The sub seconds looks perfect to me. Also to mention that this is the more "basic" way as the fourth wheel is used for the second. Putting the second in the middle would need a new level and would proabely make the watch thicker. So for me all done right.
Yesssss! I have the 42” blue and (for my 7”) it’s perfect. Even my wife complimented it 😂 that doesn’t happen. “Classy” she said 😳. The bracelet on this helps the smaller version look bigger while it mitigates the length on the 42”. Man this looks fantastic on you! Perfect size. The clasp?….yeah, it never had a chance.
Yes, the polished clasp on the Club Sport bracelet really is a scratch magnet - it took me less than 2 weeks of very careful wear to get it visibly (to me at least) scuffed. I know that this is heresy, but these watches also look really good on leather straps ...
Major points for not having a screw down crown. Plus, I like the all Arabic (vs part Roman) numerals. The case width and water resistance are class leading!
@@BrittPearceWatches it’s the simplicity that works; you don’t look like a rapper/inner city drug dealer wearing one. I too, like you, have a tiny wrist; 39mm is perfect.
The 42mm version of that is my daily driver. 300m, slim profile, can go with suits during the day, and isn’t flashy. And that one does have a screw down crown. 😅
Nice watch but the lugs ... Nomos delivers a great craftmanship on their movements. Better than most expensive brands. Oyster Perpetual is still king though. Period.
One of the very few Nomos watches I like. I think because it doesn't look quite like a Nomos 😅 You nailed it, it is a everyday all day design. Well done!
@6:30 Same. I could see myself buying this watch if it had a screw-down crown. I wear a Hamilton King Khaki a lot, but it bums me out so hard that it only has 5 bar wr and no screw down crown. If the Hamilton Khaki King had 150m and a screw down crown and keep the same price, it would be the best watch ever made.
That Nomos looks like a really compelling watch. I think I like the movement more than the dial tbh. On the subject of Rolex the one I want is the two tone explorer.
That petrol dial is just *chefs kiss. But if they did center seconds it would make the movement thicker, but it's already so thin going from an 8.4mm or whatever to a 10mm thickness wouldn't be that big of a deal.
I agree with you on the clasp and sub seconds, but my biggest issue is the lug to lug of 48.5mm. That is longer than a Sub. Please Nomos, shorten your lugs
If the sub-seconds are taken off and centre seconds are placed, the watch would look great! But it wouldn't be 'Nomos'. So, I have to agree with Nomos on this one.
More sunshine in our lives from you Britt even with a bit of flu. Thank you. This is a good 'un for sure but Nomos is a bit addicted to the shiny stuff. Since they are getting into more sporty watches, it's about time they embraced brushed finishes mixed into their cases I think. For me polished centre links and clasp is a NO but you can get this on a textile strap. I'd go that way but it's a shame because the bracelet suits the watch. If it was all brushed, that is....
Do love the design of NOMOS watches... I loved the Ahoi... the only thing that stops me from buying on is the seconds hand in it's own complication rather than part of the handset... Nomos if you're reading the comments give that Ahoi a normal seconds hand and I'm in!
@@BrittPearceWatches I'll have to call your bluff that you "forgot" to put the lug to lug in your videos, I think you just don't want to do it which is totally up to you but with the amount of times just myself has asked for it, it seems weird that you keep forgetting. Have a great weekend! 😊🍻
It’s got more Explorer vibes to me… It’s beautiful though, i’ve felt rather unenthused about the other NOMOS watches. They’re just too plain. Love how sporty this fella is.
Not sure why you would prefer center seconds over the sundial. The sundial is what's making this watch cool. If that sundial was removed leaving you with traditional center seconds, I don't think this watch would be as attractive as it currently is.
Man I'm a day late and a dollar short great video Britt, I have a soft spot for Nomos never had one but I would love to have one one day the company hits it out the park a lot of the time you really can't go wrong with a Nomos great kitty shot by the way have a good weekend.
I don't dive with my GSAR. The case for an adventure watch (not a dive watch). Against the backdrop of tannin stained water and granite in the Muskoka's of Ontario Canada. - Tough as fucking nails! - Legibility at a glance when you're active and moving. - More than enough waterproof while being swept down a class 4 rapid after dumping. - Rotating bezel to time hiking or paddling segments. - Tritium lume all night long! It gets dark out at 6PM after October. - Adjustable strap/bracelet to wear on the outside of 3 layers when it's -25°C out. - Never need to take your phone out. Most of the time you can't!
I understand the controversy with Rolex in terms of availability, overhype, etc., but I’d really like to crunch the numbers on the people that would pass on a OP at retail price (which they could afford and/or were on the hunt for obviously) for this Nomos. And I really like Nomos.
My colleague rocked up to work with a Richard Mille last week. I admire the design and it looks really cool, but a little too flamboyant for me to wear haha.
Gringa! Nice review. The NOMOS Ahoi has been on my want list, but you have made me second guess myself. I think that now the Club occupies the space in my head reserved for a NOMOS, but the Club Aqua series is more me. NOMOS has been making some of the better bang for the buck watches recently. The Club, Orion, and Metro models are all just superb. (Though I have never been a fan of California dials). The bright NOMOS colors define a summer watch to me. Long Live the Cult(s)
"I enchanted with this watch but I prefer the center seconds, the California dial and the screw crown" jajajaja I've doubt that not is your watch. But I can see that this is special according with Papi and I'm supposing the reason.
Bahahah! I do love it! 🙈 but there is always sometjing to nitpick! I have yet to find the perfect watch! (Woth the exception of the Santos Dumont of course!)
A screw down crown has advantages other than securing a moisture seal. Its structure takes stress off of the stem, a part that I’ve bent on some of my beater watches, just from the way the crown would press against the back of my hand. I get that Nomos graphically has a minimalist design godliness, but I think that a watch without a date complication would make it a better candidate for a screw down crown. The disadvantage is that for the less mechanically inclined, the possibility of cross threading the crown and damaging it increases every time they adjust the time(or date).
Rolex take some notes. 37mm x 8mm thick... now THAT'S some impressive watch making...I don't see why the OP is nearly 12mm thick to be honest. To me that's too top heavy I can't wait to see flat colour dials on these Nomoses. Kind of like the colour range of the wonderful Club Campus catalogue.... that would be very cool
I love the sub seconds, the dial is lovely but I’m struggling with the bracelet and really dislike the clasp, it’s really inelegant and there is no on the fly adjustment.
I wish there were more dial colours; I really would love that pink dial Club with an exhibition case back showing off their in house movements. I agree with your centre seconds sentiment
That with the screwed crown is mentioned again and again, so also with other watches. But the fact is that with this watch you would at most go swimming in Brighton. But actually you would never go diving with this watch. So why a screw-down crown? Or do you think before every wash, oh, I still have to screw my crown? I personally think the Nomos is good as a second watch, not so good as a single watch, and would prefer it to any Tudor.
I wish Tudor did a OP alternate - the Black Bay 36 etc don’t do it as an alternative for me due to their snowflake handset & being under the BB group of watches. The teaser ad Tudor had earlier this year this had my hopes up, I thought it would be a Tudor Prince but it turned out to be the Ranger. The Traska Commuter (no date) is my current OP alternative due to WoS messing up my “waiting list” registration for an OP which lost me 5 months for nothing
Screw down crown, all brushed and more power reserve and it would be perfection. This keeps happening to me - I think I’ve found my everyday watch, and then it’s just not quite right enough. Maybe I need to compromise instead of holding out indefinitely.
I would love to see this watch employing the dial colours of the Club Campus, such as the Orange, Pink and silver grey. It would be a direct challenge in both price and appeal to the Oris Candy Floss 65s. It would also create a stylistic alternative to that "Oyster look". While I appreciate the craft of Nomos as watchmakers supreme, they do not have the automatic brand recognition of some of their competitors and I feel they need to go hunt their own broader appeal and resonance with a wider audience of watch buyers.
I have a large wrist (8 inches) and 37mm is just too small. NOMOS already has a 42mm version but that is too large because it has very long lugs and it's all dial. I wish this was a 39mm watch. I'd be first in line. I'd love a sportier NOMOS. Great review as always.
Bahaha let the scratches begin! ;) Honestly, I've been so scared having it in, and wanting to keep it pristine. Although I think I maaaaay have put a few beauty marks on it/ ;)
@@BrittPearceWatches just style it out and tell them it was scratched when you got it......and hope they don't check youtube comments....oh....em....sorry.....
An unexpected Jody and a Britt all in one day! Admire Nomos, love the in houseness and indie cool but they're not really my bag. I do admire also they're pig headed refusal to make a diver😂 Very shiny too.
Great video! Feel the same about a screw down crown! This has more water resistance than my explorer 2 but with a screw down it somehow seems... safer?! Ha!
Nice video, Brittany, thank you 👍😊. This isn't the garage, right? Did I miss a video? Ugh! Watch is nice, just not for me. Take care, hope you feel better.
If someone has decided to buy a Rolex, there is nothing you can say to change his or her mind. However, if they are considering buying a Nomos watch or something similar, there is a lot you can say to change their mind. That is the difference between Rolex and rest of them.
Agree about the polished clasp being a scratch magnet, but love the rest of the features on this piece! Maybe a very well-fitting plastic clasp protector ? 😳
Great video and I really do enjoy your channel. This is a nice looking wrist clock don't you know and if someday I part with me orient bino I will consider the nomos club sport in 37mm. Thanks again!
Love the vid, love the watch but . . . Could someone explain the small seconds to me? What's that about? And that shiny clasp is going to be a scratch magnet.
Great brand and great watch for sure but comparing to an OP might let thinking it is B plan. No one want to wear a B plan, except those who wear a BB58 😛.
@@BrittPearceWatches *It resembles a few Nomos models, yes but strikes off in a new direction, which I like. Rolex giving up their children for adoption, not a bad idea.* *_Full disclosure: I am biased, for the better part of three decades, a DJ and an OP have vastly improved my on-time performance and beautified my left wrist._*
My reaction was the opposite. “Nomos is usually my thing, but not this”😂. It’s a great watch, great specs, interesting colors, but that kind of bracelet and sporty aesthetic just isn’t what I picture when I think about Nomos. It’s like anything Dive watch related that comes out from Cartier, I’m sure it’s a good watch but it just doesn’t make me think “Cartier”. The design language looks a little off. But I’ve thought about it, and I think it has a lot to do with the oyster style bracelet used. Great, quality video as always!
Nomos has some very cool design language, I like the small seconds. I prefer the Club Campus in either Future Orange or Absolute Grey to these new ones. Not a fan of that bracelet. I prefer Nomos on a strap and the California dial is sweet. They should offer a sapphire case back on the Club Campus. Movement is too pretty to hide.
I absolutely love this watch. I have been on the fence about Nomos (eyeing the pink Club!) but this has converted me. Especially this green color. Phenomenal piece and a real game-changer for the brand.
Great review, Britt! I like it so much that I ordered one yesterday from my AD (with a slight discount). My kids won’t be the only ones waiting impatiently this December 😂

I don't dive with my GSAR. The case for an adventure watch (not a dive watch).
Against the backdrop of tannin stained water and granite in the Muskoka's of Ontario Canada.
- Tough as fucking nails!
- Legibility at a glance when you're active and moving.
- More than enough waterproof while being swept down a class 4 rapid after dumping.
- Rotating bezel to time hiking or paddling segments.

- Adjustable strap/bracelet to wear on the outside of 3 layers when it's -25°C out.
- Never need to take your phone out. Most of the time you can't!

While I appreciate the craft of Nomos as watchmakers supreme, they do not have the automatic brand recognition of some of their competitors and I feel they need to go hunt their own broader appeal and resonance with a wider audience of watch buyers.
Oh now these are some interesting thoughts! 😱😱💕

I have a large wrist (8 inches) and 37mm is just too small. NOMOS already has a 42mm version but that is too large because it has very long lugs and it's all dial. I wish this was a 39mm watch. I'd be first in line. I'd love a sportier NOMOS. Great review as always.
great vid despite the sniffles. I guess Nomos decided that the bezel will show every scratch, so why not the clasp :D
Bahaha let the scratches begin! ;) Honestly, I've been so scared having it in, and wanting to keep it pristine. Although I think I maaaaay have put a few beauty marks on it/ ;)
@@BrittPearceWatches just style it out and tell them it was scratched when you got it......and hope they don't check youtube comments....oh....em....sorry.....
An unexpected Jody and a Britt all in one day! Admire Nomos, love the in houseness and indie cool but they're not really my bag. I do admire also they're pig headed refusal to make a diver😂 Very shiny too.
Gringa, nice review. What is the lug to lug distance on this bad boy?
Now that’s a question!!! I’m just driving right now (James is driving haha not me!) but I can give it a measure when I get home!!
Nomos lists their lug to lug on website. I was there last night 😂
Wow that’s a looker!
Right?! A very strong offering from nomos!
Great video! Feel the same about a screw down crown! This has more water resistance than my explorer 2 but with a screw down it somehow seems... safer?! Ha!
It does feel safer doesn't it?! haha! I think I'm just a bit simple ;)
Nomos really loves their long lug to lug… just look at that male end link.
Nice video, Brittany, thank you 👍😊. This isn't the garage, right? Did I miss a video? Ugh! Watch is nice, just not for me. Take care, hope you feel better.
Hahaha! Don’t you worry, back to the garage i go for sundays video! 😜
great watch! I agree about the finish of the clasp but the small seconds are a must have NOMOS feature ;-)
Ahhh you’re so right about the small seconds! 🙈 it makes it soooo nomos!
Thanks for the vidéo ! Just one request ! I'am french and I would love to have the all the sizes in centimeters...too.
👌
If someone has decided to buy a Rolex, there is nothing you can say to change his or her mind. However, if they are considering buying a Nomos watch or something similar, there is a lot you can say to change their mind. That is the difference between Rolex and rest of them.
I don even like watches, I’m here for the out-tro
Bahahaha! What are watches? This is a music channel. Just hoping to get my big break!
Nomos is normally a little too “college student” for me. I really like the look of this one, though!
Agree about the polished clasp being a scratch magnet, but love the rest of the features on this piece! Maybe a very well-fitting plastic clasp protector ? 😳
Congratz on getting the Nomster Perpetual :P
Great video and I really do enjoy your channel. This is a nice looking wrist clock don't you know and if someday I part with me orient bino I will consider the nomos club sport in 37mm. Thanks again!
You know she isn't kidding when her eye's match the dial color.😉🧐
Love the vid, love the watch but . . .
Could someone explain the small seconds to me? What's that about?
And that shiny clasp is going to be a scratch magnet.
I definitely would prefer centre seconds! But small seconds is just a Nomos Club thang!
A nice watch, but I simply could not live with the polished surfaces as a supposedly go-anywhere watch.
Damn! Looking 🔥 Watch is ok too 😂. But, drop the Arabic numerals
Bahaha deephazeljay is HERE! 💕👏🏻
Great brand and great watch for sure but comparing to an OP might let thinking it is B plan. No one want to wear a B plan, except those who wear a BB58 😛.
*It looks as if a Datejust and a No Date Oyster Perpetual had a baby. The bracelet and dial are DJ, the rest of it an OP*
You think?! Idk! I think it is so nomos! 🙈 kinda the nomos version of the place those Rolex watches fill in ones collection!
@@BrittPearceWatches *It resembles a few Nomos models, yes but strikes off in a new direction, which I like. Rolex giving up their children for adoption, not a bad idea.* *_Full disclosure: I am biased, for the better part of three decades, a DJ and an OP have vastly improved my on-time performance and beautified my left wrist._*
My reaction was the opposite. “Nomos is usually my thing, but not this”😂. It’s a great watch, great specs, interesting colors, but that kind of bracelet and sporty aesthetic just isn’t what I picture when I think about Nomos.
It’s like anything Dive watch related that comes out from Cartier, I’m sure it’s a good watch but it just doesn’t make me think “Cartier”. The design language looks a little off. But I’ve thought about it, and I think it has a lot to do with the oyster style bracelet used.
Great, quality video as always!
Nomos has some very cool design language, I like the small seconds. I prefer the Club Campus in either Future Orange or Absolute Grey to these new ones. Not a fan of that bracelet. I prefer Nomos on a strap and the California dial is sweet. They should offer a sapphire case back on the Club Campus. Movement is too pretty to hide.
Since the lugs weren’t long enough, they went for male endlinks. Great idea !
great watch, but I would love to see a 39-40mm version. And yes, the polished clasp is stupid and a I agree regarding the center seconds!
I've ordered one.
I absolutely love this watch. I have been on the fence about Nomos (eyeing the pink Club!) but this has converted me. Especially this green color. Phenomenal piece and a real game-changer for the brand.
Very good looking timepiece 👍🏻 I dig Nomos
Nomos Oyster Perpetual... nail on the head
Great review, Britt! I like it so much that I ordered one yesterday from my AD (with a slight discount). My kids won’t be the only ones waiting impatiently this December 😂
