I just received my Contrail Impulse yesterday and I love it. It fits my 6.5" wrist perfectly and is super comfortable. The finishing is easy above the price point. And yes, i have other nodus watches and enjoy them too. Why? Because it's a super brand with excellent products that provide great value.

Seen your unboxing and took a chance, and ordered the sand colored dial. It arrived yesterday and I must say I'm pretty impressed. For $825, you get a lot for the money. So far, my only gripe is the quick adjustment. When letting it out, it's somewhat unsightly, not a real link, but more of an extension. As they continue to grow and improve, I'm sure they'll address that, but on this watch, while not a huge concern, is something to point out. These microbrands are really listening to customers and innovating. The big brands could learn a thing or two and watch out. As prices continue to rise, these microbrand are a very good option. Spending thousands on a watch, when one could get close for a fraction of the price sounds real good right now.

I love that watch. Reminds me of the Grand Seiko SBGJ237

For a point of comparison. I have this watch and CW Sealander GMT, which I wore solid for a year. The Nodus is easily the better watch. Some folks have complained about it, but I really like the lumed counterbalance on the second hand.

Only thing I don’t like is the counterbalance lume on the seconds hand, aside from that, it’s beautiful!

Have the blue and just ordered the black. I LOVE the counterbalance on the sweep, love the taper and link style. The dial is a beautiful shade of blue. Didn't even notice the end link until I swapped out the quick release spring bars. Why anyone thinks that's an "issue" I'll never understand. It arguably the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. My experience has been, the ones that nitpick, are ones that are looking for "reasons" why not to buy because they have no intentions to buy.

Just received the Polaris version today as my first Nodus purchase and I love it so far. I'd been considering the jack mason GMT for a while and that model still does have some benefits over the Nodus, but I just love the design on this one.

I like how microbrands are becoming smarter than big brands and puting flat casebacks (seiko casebacks are domed and so unconfortable). Also microbrands are making them as slim as possible and i love it. My favourite brand at the moment is MONTA because they pay very close attention to these details that make their watches the most comfortable on the market, i just want them to also make 36mm watches =)

While this is a very slick and nice watch, it's a little too like the grand seiko for my liking to call itself original

Nice watch. I don’t agree with this idea of being left behind and that the Contrail will be collectible. I can appreciate a brand having to move up in terms of offering and price. However, there is much more competition in the -~$1000 price range which makes me think twice whereas the Sector series is a no brained at its price point. I am also disappointed at the design. I see a Grand Seiko Sport homage and none of the character I’ve come to expect from Nodus.

I realize you’ve partnered with Nodus before, but after watching so many of your videos, this one was hard to watch as you clearly overlooked so many flaws on this watch that you have historically called out in others. I want Nodus to succeed and like where the brand is going, but that non-articulating first link and especially the NodeX clasp design is just not good. I would rather have a cheap generic clasp than a proprietary one with poor implementation.

I purchased in blue (gorgeous), and liked it so much I bought in black. I removed the quick release bars (just me) and am wearing it now. It's arguably the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. Don't even know it's on. Point of reference, I was in the watch business for 14 years and have an extensive collection. The non articulating ends are a non-issue. Not sure what you mean by "poor implementation" on the clasp. I have over a dozen NODUS and 9 of them have this clasp and NEVER had an issue. But that's just me, what do I know, I actually buy watches and wear them.

@@ericgrafton652 I have owned Nodus too. I like their designs. I hope they succeed. My opinion is clearly subjective, but the way the NodeX clasp looks when fully extended is a dealbreaker for me, especially at these prices as they continue to try and move upmarket.

fwiw ive heard the nodeX clasp has gone through a few series of refinement, so if you haven't tried one recently i would give it another shot. obviously it's still an extension not a link (which has the tradeoff of keeping the clasp smaller as opposed to having a more unified look when extended all the way out), but ive heard that the ratcheting and press operate more fluidly than in the earlier iterations.
