We establish an approximate zero-one law for sentences of continuous logic over finite metric spaces of diameter at most $1$. More precisely, we axiomatize a complete metric theory $T_{ \mathrm{ as}}$ such that, given any sentence $\sigma$ in the language of pure metric spaces and any $\epsilon>0$, the probability that the difference of the value of $\sigma$ in a random metric space of size $n$ and the value of $\sigma$ in any model of $T_{ \mathrm{ as}}$ is less than $\epsilon$ approaches $1$ as $n$ approaches infinity. We also establish some model-theoretic properties of the theory $T_{ \mathrm{ as}}$.
