Nomos generally have long lugs that don't dip, so unless you under-size quite a bit they don't fit very well.
They always used to be great value for money but as @Hefty says, their prices seem to have shot up recently.
For a small casual-ish watch they're nice. I think it comes down to whether the design language is right for you - they really have their own niche, so if you like that type of Bauhaus design it'll hit the mark. AnOrdain are maybe in a similar wheelhouse but the waiting list is very long indeed.
A more leftfield minimal-design-forward option might be one of the 36mm Ochs und Junior Settimanas:

O&J historically have been about offering customisation of every dial component but they now do an off-the-shelf range that are much more affordable (especially the Settimanas, which is a weekday complication). The cases are CNCd titanium and the movements are cleverly modified Sellitas/ETAs (Ulysse Nardin in the more complicated watches - Ludwig Ochs is a complications designer for UN).
