as a brand. In fact I have more respect for a brand that boldly tries original designs even if I don't love them. We won't all love the same thing. I would rather see brands being creative than always dipping into the same wells
You got blue and black which is your favorite Avalon?I guess as this is the "Nodus" thread I should chime in on my thoughts for the brand more specifically.

The Avalon is the first of their designs that aesthetically resonated with me personally. However before that release I had heard the rumblings that they were putting out quality products at a good price with great customer service.

After getting hands on with a couple Avalon, doing a lot of research and having discussions with Nodus (Wes) I came away very impressed. Their approach to design, manufacturing and assembly is refreshing. I think they achieve a pretty great balance and value by having the components manufactured overseas but assembling , regulating and doing quality control in house. It creates a quality product that you can feel confident in and at an attainable price point.

Behind all that it was clear to me that the Nodus gents are knowledgeable and passionate and pour that into the watches and back them with integrity.

While not all their designs may have resonated with me before or perhaps in the future, I can confidently give themas a brand.

It's impressive what they have done so far in a short period of time.
I test drove the blue for a review (posted in the dive watch forum here). I decided after that to buy one. When it came to it at that point I choose the black. It wasnt an easy choice. The blue was fun and vibrant but I opted for the black for greater versatility, thinking I would wear it more as a result.
