Hey, JT, nice video of the comparisons. I receive my Phantom (that blue one) on Monday...which I ordered after your review of it. I liked the Gen 1, but passed and happy to be getting in on the Gen 2.

Thanks buddy! I really like the direction they went with the V2 updates. Small but notable tweaks that elevate it for me. Both are still solid though. Cheers

Thanks for pointing out the differences . I'm guessing these pieces fall into the great T-Date debate . 😂

In either version it's fantastic and interesting looking watch. I did like the accent colours on V1, but they could have executed the date window in black like the day complication without taking away from the overall design. Version two-man offer some small improvements without making version one appear obsolete or outdated. Great and interesting video!

Thanks! There's definitely a lot to like with either and I agree it will largely be a matter of preference. Cheers

Got my Nodus Sector Pilot Phantom in the other day! Love the watch, perfect size, great specs and features, mad love for the day window (my life is quite hectic and irregular, it's nice to be reminded what day it even is, more so than the date), really legible. Awesome value. Asked in the order notes if they could ship it with the H-link bracelet instead. Unfortunately it was sent with the 5-link bracelet and, I'm not the hugest fan of it... the endlink sometimes inverts a little when taking it off and it gets stuck like that because of the quick release pins. Also, whilst adjusting (and I needed to trim it almost all the way down) the remaining link and it's screwlink where almost impossible to screw off (the ones of the midlinks went with greatest ease; yes I was using specialized and appropriate watch tools) to the point that one of the screwlinks got stripped a little. I replaced it with another spare one, but the same harsch resistance with screwing it back in. It was impossible to screw it all the way down and now sticks out a tiny bit. That's my only gripe with this great watch so far: the bracelet.

Thanks for the feedback! I love the day/date as well! I can't remember if I mentioned it in this video or only the full review, but I've experienced the same first link/QR sticking. The 5 link construction does take more finessing to adjust the screws. Overall though, I personally prefer the V2 bracelet, but that's just a preference/style item. So much so that I'm actually selling my V1 to get a V2. Cheers

@@JonathanTReviews Yeah! You did mention it in this video that it catches on the quick release spring bars, but good pointer that I could replace em with regular spring bars. Someone somewhere on KZitem commented on a RZE Fortitude watch review that they'd rather have the Nodus and when I saw they were working on a V2, I put my email up to be informed about the developments! I actually started 2022 dailying my Cruiser White Fortitude and now changed over to the Nodus! I have quite the collection, but even with watches like the Seiko SPB143J1, I kept going for the Seiko SNXS79J1 as my go-to daily because of the day/date complication and not stressing too much with knocking it around (I also got a fresh SNXS79K1 as a backup!). But I do have a weak spot for titanium and the Fortitude did actually manage to become my new go-to, despite being sure about the watch at first, it really hooked me from day 1. But this Nodus is just spot on and took the crown. Watchpun intended. ;P Maybe I'll replace the screw pin again and lube a spare one, maybe that will go down better, because this one is a keeper for sure and you mentioned also the drilled lugs position has changed, hence why they probably didn't swap out the bracelet for the V1 style one, so I guess I better get used to it. It's a nice bracelet otherwise, I like the more sporty look of the H-link, but the V2 sure is nice in articulation, isn't a 'fake 5-link' and I didn't have anything like it in the collection yet.

Glad I could help! The Fortitude is another excellent watch. I ended up buying the review sample after preparing the video 😊 Sounds like you have a great collection! Cheers
