    Winner has been chosen, and the watch has been sent out.
    Thanks to everyone who watched and left a comment!
    I'll have to do another one soon!!

      @@nordicline2754 I reply directly their comment. Then they email me from that account so I can see everything matches. I just had someone email me and say it was them who won with a fake account 🤦. Some people...

    One of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to SM is due to their preference for smaller sizes. I have a modest 6" wrist so wearing watches below 40 is a must..

    • @ColdComrade
      @ColdComrade 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wish they had the Starbucks gmt homage below 40. As of now it’s huge but when they release a smaller version I’ll for sure pick one up.

    • @marko0marko0marko01
      @marko0marko0marko01 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Did you try this watch? I have same wrist size, so im worried it would be too big for me :/

  • @connorwren4662
    @connorwren4662 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    The fact that they’ve kept these watches right on the $300 mark is amazing. Case finishing, use of materials, and packaging is all so dang good.

  • @Grefareal
    @Grefareal 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    The rootbeer is the best variant imo, I hope san martin continue exploring their original design venture and make awesome piece like this

  • @popofofo4701
    @popofofo4701 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I've been waiting ages for a decent non-homage, affordable rootbeer gmt. I love this watch and the fact that san martin did a nice version of this is amazing

  • @user-cz8et6mx6d
    @user-cz8et6mx6d 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I've owned the black version of this watch for the past 4 months. Unbelievable timepiece. I fall in love with it more and more every day. This root beer colourway is outstanding!!!!

  • @adk7962
    @adk7962 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Their SN0115/0116 and their SN0129 lines are some of the best watches on sale period, not just some of the best San Martin Watches on sale. Great review as always and good luck to all.

  • @nevenboskovic3671
    @nevenboskovic3671 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    This is by far the best SanMartin I've seen and I'd love to have it 😊

  • @Sneka97
    @Sneka97 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    This is one of my favorite watches from San Martin, the colorway is nicely vintage looking which goes great with the design of the rest of the watch

  • @OddInfection
    @OddInfection 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I always liked the blue dial but would be it unsuitable for most occasions, this colour combination is spot on.

  • @whatisayoutube
    @whatisayoutube 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The color palette and the aluminum bezel in this one make a stunning watch! Never had a GMT before, but if I had to choose one, this would be it

  • @ZafarPravaiz
    @ZafarPravaiz 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I’m currently on the hunt for an affordable watch to commemorate a recent achievement and have been looking at add a new Seiko to the collection or to add the first San Martin. This particular model is stunning! Size and colors are just perfect.

    • @sdfswords
      @sdfswords 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Get a nice San Martin. I have the high end Swiss suspects, but the San Martin GMT's are amazing for the money, super quality and finishes.

  • @FCC12321
    @FCC12321 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    @danspanos 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    That is one beautiful watch! I struggled making up my mind between this, and the Pepsi model, and before I knew it, the sale was over! lol Hopefully I win this! Thanks for your generosity, and the great review, Steve!

  • @nirmalsuthar801
    @nirmalsuthar801 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    @Johan_Haakan 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Was never a big fan of the Pepsi.....but always loved the RootBeer. Great to see San Martin use this color way.

  • @LTC951
    @LTC951 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Really nice looking watch! I think the gold hands stand out better than the silver, making them seem a little bigger. Thank you for the thorough review and the chance to win it.

  • @legolas377

  • @franciscomoliner1296
    @franciscomoliner1296 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This colorway with the gold accents really works and the brown strap a very good alternative. Also, this case, bracelet combination is a winner for SM. Would like to own it. Good luck to all subs. Regards

  • @paulkhalil5515

    On the dark brown strap the brown tones get highlighted so much and is perfect for styling

    @watch-box 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think SM have found a winner here with this case shape and size. With different bracelets/dials & bezels there are so many watches that can be made.
    Thank you for the chance to win the watch - its very much appreciated.

    San Martin produces some awesome watches. They know how to design a great wearing watch.
    This coloration is subtle but still stunning and it's a strap monster! Anything works well with it.

    @dixonjernigan1534 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love the unique take with the BOR bracelet. It’s obvious what inspired it, but it’s not a copy. Great watch!

  • @fernandofrias5415
    @fernandofrias5415 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Absolutely stunning. San Martin have been claiming a good portion of my wallet, and they've never let me down. I'm glad they're branching out of using the NH34 for simple homages, and the shift back to aluminum bezels is helping to make their original pieces much more timeless!

  • @lobek333
    @lobek333 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    San Martin really did well with this one. They went bit crazy with different color versions for this watch design which is great but this one is not so loud as the others but still stands out. Good that they did not go overboard with gold, too much of it and it would just look cheap.

  • @nicacioalencar5560
    @nicacioalencar5560 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @vallentl62
    @vallentl62 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @PpaStrmpf
    @PpaStrmpf 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am watching this video while carrying mine SN007X and these two watches have the same case profile. I see the coin edge bezel is better on the SN0116. This is the best color you got. The red one comes as a second but root beer is just amazing. The bracelet is awesome it fits the watch like a glove. I am always happy to see thr beeds of rice because it has that vintage look and the links are short, what makes the bracele easier to fit. If only San Martin did use the Miyota 9075 this watch would blow away all those expenisve high- end micros from swiss and some other well known brands. The San Martin makes the best watches for the money. Period. I wish you all good luck and big shout to Steve for the watch review and give away and one big thank you in front of us all.

  • @frabbss

  • @user-sl3zi3pm7e
    @user-sl3zi3pm7e 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's probably a little uncomfortable when you receive a watch from a company to review and it's a disappointment. San Martin, on the other hand, must be an absolute treat given their outstanding quality. That said, you should know your reviews have convinced me to pick up several of their models. If only San Martin knew how much you helped their sales.
    Keep up the good work!
