I've got the green version which is gorgeous and sufficiently different to be interesting. The sunburst effect works well on the green and the contrasting black ceramic bezel looks lush. I really like wearing my SM watch.
Thanks for your review - your reviews are always insightful and helpful in assessing watches you’re not likely to see in person. I also find timing bezels v helpful for time Mx. My Longines Hydroconquest is one of my favourite watches and I have been searching for a GMT for travel - this may well be for me the watch to get
A nice mix of Longines, Seiko, and Rolex. This reminds me of a Bliger gmt 41mm (the ones with the Royal Oak dial). $75. It doesn't look like this SM, but ... It's an attractive mix of different brands (AP, Omega, Rolex)
Just received this one in blue, I love it! Quality as always and funny enough my mom is traveling in Italy so I have the GMT set for her time zone. I actually like the GMT NH34 movement over the NH35 non-GMT because I get better accuracy 🤷🏻♂️ the H link bracelet is a nice change of pace and it’s nice to have a GMT with a diver bezel that doesn’t just mimic a submariner. If San Martin did some minimal decoration on the movement and did a display caseback, with quick release spring bars on the bracelet, I just think it would be hard to ignore how well they build a watch for the money.
The watch reminds me of Mido Ocean Star GMT. Love the design, combination of timing bezel and a GMT is my preferred kind of watch currently. Hope San Martin make Mido Ocean Star GMT next.
If I was after Mido Ocean Star GMT looks I would rather checked this SM model from a year ago. Now, I'm not entirely sure which brand made their release first... so go figure 🙂 : th-cam.com/video/A7A9UN4qqzc/w-d-xo.html
The sterile caseback is a winner. The second hand looks a little weird. A fully lumed bezel would have been nice. It so nice to see that San Martin is using their hexagonal logo.
This is more my style. I love the Rolex look but people automatically think, fake watch. Any other brand other than perhaps some Omega and Tudor watches mean nothing to most people and so these just look like cool watches to the average person.
Great review as always and a beautiful piece make no mistake. Just makes the Longines seem just so over priced. You cannot ignore the quality and value proposition
Perfect dimensions? Is San Martin ever going to make a watch with 42mm case diameter again? I'm not asking for every watch to have those dimensions. But one in 10 maybe?
It seems San Martin is reserving decorated casebacks to their “limited” watches, as the Avocado/Beach SN0116 GMT and Year of the Dragon GMT have decorated casebacks.
If San Martin decides to make a version 2 of this watch, they should consider moving the date window to 6 and perhaps use sword hands for better legibility.
yes, san martin are way better build then pagani designs. The antireflective coating in the crystal are way better in san martin and the bracelet feels better built.
San Martin shoud have open case back and decoratet rotor it is time for them to step up the ladder...without changing the pricess...they should do it for watch entuziast.
I told myself no more watches but god damn that’s a beautiful watch I need
Gorgeous timepiece 😊 and your videos are truly becoming like short films in terms of quality and diversity of shots! Thank you☝️
Thank you Wes! ❤ Glad you like them! 😊👍
For the price of a dinner with a few drinks you simply cannot beat san martin
Truth
I have the blue dial version. I have a few San Martin's and this is probably the best one. The sunburst dial is superb.
Does the lume last all night?
Nobody seems to do proper 5 or 6 hour lume check at reviews.

I wouldn’t mind a non gmt version of this watch. GMT watches make watch dials too busy, in my humble opinion. All in all, great review!

Thank you for sharing! I think it is a really well put together timepiece, especially for the price!

SM should put some specs on the back case. Smart watch !
Thank you for making this video. The watch looks great. Was it $220ish for the nylon version or the stainless steel bracelet?

Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

Literally every watch is a 39mm gmt these days. Theyve come out with some great designs latley but really need to start doing 2 size options
What is the size of the bezel insert (outer and inner)? Do you think this can be swapped for the aftermarket GMT ceramic insert? Thanks!
Top Watch Channel 👍🏼
😁👍

Interesting! Price segmentation I gues.
If San Martin decides to make a version 2 of this watch, they should consider moving the date window to 6 and perhaps use sword hands for better legibility.
Instead of the flutted caseback I would like to see their engraved shark and simple notches for a simple watch case opener.
Hi guys, can someone tell me if San Martin have an official european website?
Fantastic 👍👍👍
Are the San Martin way better build than the Pagani Design ? Does it worth to put more money ?
yes, san martin are way better build then pagani designs. The antireflective coating in the crystal are way better in san martin and the bracelet feels better built.
“printed in red”….. the color of the printing and GMT hand sure look orange to me. Thank you for the review.
Possibly 🤔🙂 Thank you for watching! 🙂👍
Looks like a Christopher Ward at first glance. Beautiful timepiece.

Like Rolex on the latest Daytona? 🙂
I think the Longines HydroConquest GMT also inspired by OCEAN STAR GMT (Orange)😆🤣
Lol 🤣
My tyres are inspired by Mr. Goodyear
After a while all these things somehow all start to look the same over and over and over 😊
Personally dont like red and orange together.
What is the author 's native language?
Omega not Rolex
325eu ? 😂🤣 Absolutely ridiculous price for a pagani design style homage watch.
220eu- & considerably better than a PD
