A great watch for anyone!
Not just an entry-level watch. But a great watch that will truly last decades if well taken care of. Honestly, the quality is truly heirloom quality - heirloom quality doesn't mean that it was necessarily expensive. Just that it was very well made and designed to last. Such a nice watch! I'm still thinking about it!
WatchProSite Review: Nomos Glashutte Club Campus 38 Blue Purple Reference 730
WatchProSite Moderator Patrick_y reviews the Nomos Glashutte Club Campus 38 Blue Purple Reference 730 timepiece! At $1650, this is likely the most accessibly priced watch Patrick_y has reviewed from a major brand! Blueberries. They’re healthy for you and ...
Thank you for the detailed review, Patrick
This Nomo with beautiful blueberries California dial, stainless steel case and in-house hand winding German movement definitely has an excellent value for money 👍🏻
Not necessarily a Nomos guy...
...but this is quite appealing. A nice, casual watch at a great price. Thanks : )
It's a great reminder of the definition of the word "value."
A word that we've forgotten the past couple of years.
A nice watch, nicely reviewed.
Nomos is really doing what they do very well. I know a few people for whom one or Nomos watches make up a small collection and they are content.
No reason to be anything but content!
They are indeed great timepieces. Not Breguets. Not Vacheron Constantins. Not Patek Philippes. But great timepieces. Just like a BMW 3 series is a premium machine - and an impressive value in many respects! I'd take a 3 series over the big and very luxuri...
Don't get me started on 3 series...
...we had one with the sweetest straight 6 imaginable : ) Drove it into the ground before donating it : )
The latest inline-6 engine, the "B58" is amazing...
The latest BMW inline 6 cylinder, internally designated as B58, is one of the best six cylinder engines I've ever driven. Super smooth, powerful, not the most responsive, but relatively good for today's turbocharged world. Strong and reliable closed-deck ...
Fantastic watch
My sons have one each, one with black dial, one with white dial, both with sapphire case back. They love them, it is a marvelous value for money timepiece! Thanks for your report
Thank you for reading!
I'd say your sons are very well equipped. These are excellent timepieces. And it seems the company has the right values too!
I know why you like the 36!
The dial of the 36 is more proportioned with the movement. This 38 has a tiny bit of extra space below the seconds subdial, which makes the proportions slightly less perfect. They do make the 36 with all the fancy colors too! It's just I happened to only ...
Very nice.
Space between the strap spring bar and the rest of the case is a little too generous, maybe by 1 mm. But I realize I'm nitpicking and it looks fine on the wrist.
Thank you for reading!
It honestly is a solid and honest watch. Makes me realize all the other companies have been rather a little dishonest with their pricing!
Very comprehensive review
....like the dial colours. Would probably prefer the 36,but this could be my first Nomos....value for the buck! Thanks for the review.
Thank You! For reading!
Which dial color do you like the most? They offer a plethora of colors. The 36 might be the way to go!

A beautiful movement
And if i'm not mistaken, the architecture is based off of the ETA 7001 movement. It's been used in Omega and Blancpain watches to great effect. A few micro-brands have started to use it as well, but it remains a rare movement these days.
The readers on WPS sure are sharp!
I didn't know this until you and Rgabrielsoto pointed this out! Good point!
Wow! You ARE RIGHT! I didn't see the similarities. Good eye.
You're right! I didn't see it until you pointed it out. Yes, the main spring, gear train, and the balance wheel are all in the same places, you can tell by the jewels being in such a similar spacing and arrangement. So we can say some similarity in archit...
