Its the cyclops on it that just doesn't do it for me. Conceptually, the rotating compass bezel is interesting, but the whole case shape feels weird and disjointed.

Miniature seconds wheel looks tacky to me. I know Nomos gets a lot of love, but personally I am not a fan at all. Having a sweeping or ticking seconds hand it quintessential watch aesthetic to me. It's the visual heartbeat of the watch. I love dial complications like date, moon phase, day, etc, but they should be visually secondary to the main watch face. By having the a small seconds hand being the only active thing on the watch face, it distracts from the rest of the watch. A full seconds hand draws the eye over the whole watch instead.
Still sees the most wrist time out of my collection. Swap up the strap every so often to match what I'm doing, easy to dress up and down. Love the watch, sharp, easily legible, looks nice without looking too fancy.
It's funny because I'm the opposite. Have a 6.5" wrist and while I love some smaller watches, there are a plethora of cool designs and pieces I want, but can't wear because they're 42-46mm.
