I have this in the mint chocolate chip. And yeah, the date is almost illegible. But I do like the matching color of the whole dial. Either way, it's a great watch. My first San Martin, and now I bought two more. And personally, I don't care for the "Tudor"-style hands on other models. I much prefer this hand set, which seems to be becoming the most common that SM uses.
The watermelon one is great. I just bought it on the tropic and prefer its look to the Studio Dog. The date is hard to read but while getting the time at a glance is vital to me I don't mind spending a second or three looking for the date. The taper on the tropic is a bit too much 20-15mm as the head of the watch is not light, I'd love to see the second hand counter balance shorter & may have a go trimming it (there's an idea for a mod video Jody) but the rest of it is pretty much spot on. The bloopers were great but I'm sure it's partly because you don't usually have them. I wouldn't want bloopers in every video.
Those faux-tina GMTs are very nice. I have San Martins 36mm Tudor Ranger homage and it's easily the best watch in my humble collection, despite it's slightly awkward 19mm lug width.
Thank you for another amazing video of in-depth reviews! Big San Martin fan, ordered my 6th one with the current Aliexpress sale and got the SN0116-Avocado Green, original design and amazing value for money, I totally agree!
San Martin always comes so, so close to getting me to buy. Still haven't pulled the trigger on one. Just heard from Helm about my Ti Vanuatu becoming available. Gotta get the funds together!
@@ivoshandor6859 it did! It's a beast. It's a truly great watch, however... My white dial Ascent came in 2 days later and has dominated the time on my wrist...
Okay so i am fortunate enough to have some watches from the aledged big brands, but all the watches shown today look absolutely wonderful. There maybe pros, cons but you can't get away from how fine they look. All the watch content providers constantly tell us how good San Martin are so not only do they look great they represent outstanding value. The only down side for me is they make so many stunners I struggle to pick one to buy. Great vid as always.
Yeah and there are so many videos about San Martins all over youtube lately, I think we're all saturated. I'm still holding out until they fix their logo, but that pink one is tempting otherwise.
Probably an unpopular opinion but I feel they are not worth the price. They are now priced near the level of good mid-range branded watches. I'd rather pass on two San Martins and buy a nice 'other watch'. They've left the homage pool and although they are nice watches, they have yet to prove themselves in the outside world.
I have 4 San Martin 36mm Ranger 2 gmt 62Mas first generation...,the watermelon was my favorite..nicely done, jody definitely. San Martin watches are awesome...I wonder if I need one more San Martin...
Jody, you're so easy to listen to and another good round up. San Martin has always intrigued me but I can't get past the logo. Watching this video, reinforces why I struggle with Tudor, that slab sided case is awful.
I like the blooper reel. 😂. Keep that in future videos. I own watch no. 5 in green and yellow, and recently got the SM railmaster homage, which is worth a review 👍🏻
With the SN0053-G you actually get the appearance of a smaller dial, as the bezel is much wider than usual for a non-dive watch, so this wears a bit smaller on wrist as a result.
Great finds and video as always. But add me to the quite large group who will never get past that logo. And sad because that pink BB homage is pretty cool.
As well as build quality, it's super impressive how thin San Martin can make an NH35-powered watch. Some of their BB58 homages even come in (just) under 12mm including the crystal - other brands should take note
Hey, Jody! Whats your opinion on that San Martin clasp? From the measurements Ive seen on Ali, it seems QUITE long and with my 6.75inch wrist, I'd feel as if itd be more clasp then bracelet on my wrist. I wish they were alot smaller even if that mean less on the fly micro adjust positions. Ive wanted to put a beads of rice bracelet on my Red Dialed Seiko sharp edge but dont know how I feel about the San Martin clasps. What say you?
I don't really mind the logo. I definitely prefer the applied logo. I think I have seven San Martins and three that are keepers for sure. I probably won't be getting one, but both of those tropicals look really nice. Maybe when they hit $200.
I bought the San Martin BB54 which came with that adjust-on-the-fly bracelet, and wow, it has spoiled me from my usual micro adjustment watches with pins-in-holes requiring a tool to adjust. A worthy bragging point for the watches that feature it.
I give San Martin a lot of credit. Some of the designers that work their are huge vintage Rolex /Tudor fans and that's a good thing for me. I do wish they would redesign their logo. Maybe print it on the dial instead.
The brown explorer type is the only one that stands out for me. When I go the Ali route, usually Pagani has something nearly as nice about 1/4 less in price with sapphire, screw down, etc....
I own now quite a lot of SM watches : the finish is always excellent, but I strongly do not recommend the GMT models : I bought 2, 2 had movement issues. It's a pity to put cheapp movements in such great cases.
San Martin is starting to become undeniable, even amongst non AliExpress Shoppers. Their new SN0144 I think will really catch the attention of the general watch world. Thanks for the great list! “Screw it! It’s cheaper!” 😆
3:10 I’d argue that, as I received the wrong watch and damaged to boot, and had to fight tooth and nail for any kind of resolution. At one point, their best offer was to ship replacement parts out for me to have fitted at my own expense, and this was the official store too….
Correct me if I’m wrong - but aside from this specific video being sponsored by SM, don’t they actually make Erebus’ watches? I’m not saying Jody is wrong, but I really think disclosure *beyond* what is being offered here would be appropriate - especially given the praises being sung which seep out beyond these examples to the entire SM company and it’s offerings.
Er, Jody, take another gander at the bezel on that SN0118. I don't think Underd0g was the only homaging going on with this watch. It also reminds me of an Aussie brand I know. Should we call it the Underebus or maybe the Melorigin?
bought the 118 with the blue dial, looked at the Watermelon but the bezel colour seems off to me. I get what you mean with the colour of the date… like a seed peeking through… Weird, no mention of the the new SN0129 and obviously the very new, miyota powered SN0144y
I kind of dig the pink Black Bay, but I'm still holding our hope that Pagani will do the pink Black Bay Chrono. Or that San Martin will do this one or their pink BB Pro in one of their cheaper versions of those watches. I know $225-250 isn't really that much, but it's still kind of a lot for something in a color that won't get nearly as much use as other stuff...
Well I have seen a lot worse in terms of logo...and I agree, applied one is better than printed. The colours are amazing but the clasps are large and the bracelet feels a bit heavy (dare I say I sometimes find rolled and hollow links easier to wear...HERESY!) The sterile back is ok with me as I had some watches with beautifully etched designs on the back (Zelos for example) and they made my wrist sore. I guess I am just a delicate petal! :)
You're not keeping cos......cos....costs down in the edit suite 😄 San martin's increasing range of colours is just amazing, thanks for showing them to us 👍
When you can't get the line out, change the line. Well done. Btw, congrats on the football sponsorship. Are jerseys going to be available in your store?
I have the distressed pepsi, the lume sucks...... the hands are definitely weaker than the hour markers and it fades quickly, other than that it's great. Have had it on the wrist for the past 3 days and it hasn't gained or lost a second yet.
I think it´s time for San Martin to start using other movements. Nothing wrong with the NH35, but they are getting stuck with it. They need to try somenthig new in terms of movements.
Keep more bloopers in your videos, please! It was a good laugh.
😆😂🤣
Add them at the end of your video's:)
Yes! 😂
the distressing on the tropical watches looks great
It actually does. Remember when everyone was pouring coffee on their SKXs a few years ago? Like that but much better!
That watermelon is class!! Agreed on the date wheel and printed logo though.
I really struggle to read that one from arms length...
People complain about non-colour matching!
I have this in the mint chocolate chip. And yeah, the date is almost illegible. But I do like the matching color of the whole dial. Either way, it's a great watch.

Literally just got done rewatching "Jaws" about 2 minutes ago and am absolutely loving the T-shirt!
Those faux-tina GMTs are very nice. I have San Martins 36mm Tudor Ranger homage and it's easily the best watch in my humble collection, despite it's slightly awkward 19mm lug width.
Nice to see the blooper. Now let's see you try purple burgler alarm lol.
I had about five cracks at it and gave up!

I think it is safe to say we all need a full blooper video....
Ha! It would be lengthy.....
@JustOneMoreWatch that's what she said...
Fucking hated it
@@yoginasser305 you seem fun
@@yoginasser305no-one asked you
I've always wanted a San Martin. I'm off to have a look!
I like it. If I needed another watch, I'd certainly get this one!
Helps keeps costs down 😅.
Love the bloopers Jody, we want moar!
(Darko audio's bloopers are cool)
Thank you for another amazing video of in-depth reviews! Big San Martin fan, ordered my 6th one with the current Aliexpress sale and got the SN0116-Avocado Green, original design and amazing value for money, I totally agree!
Ok you have to create a just one more shirt channel. I want that Quint shirt!!!
Hahahahaha Loved That Blooper 🤣😆😂😆🤣😂....Reminded Me Of A Video That Scotts Have A Hard Time Saying Purple Burglar Alarm In A Sentence Together.

Love the honesty...it takes ages for me to get it right haha 😅
I love the bloopers!! I laughed so loud...
Really great, enjoyed the bloopers 😂
Loved the video, I have the grape watch and it is a stunner! Loved the blooper even more though rofl, keep them coming 😂😂
The blooper part was actually fun.
That feels like you've just shown us five versions of the same watch.
My thought too😂
Yeah and there are so many videos about San Martins all over youtube lately, I think we're all saturated. I'm still holding out until they fix their logo, but that pink one is tempting otherwise.
This can officially be called San Martin circlejerk

Well, technically they are “colourways” so……
Jody, you're so easy to listen to and another good round up. San Martin has always intrigued me but I can't get past the logo. Watching this video, reinforces why I struggle with Tudor, that slab sided case is awful.
Is there a way to switch the jubilee or beads of rice bracelets for oyster styles?
I guess that helps keeps COSC down ? Talk about inaccurate ! 🤣😂Enjoyed the blooper. Thanks Jody.
Appreciate you bringing us the new releases. Even though I think they are hideous.
I can't un-see a bald dive watch. The others are all stunning.
Ha! Hey, it happens to all of us in the end....
I like the blooper reel. 😂. Keep that in future videos. I own watch no. 5 in green and yellow, and recently got the SM railmaster homage, which is worth a review 👍🏻
Oh man those avocados at 3:38 are 🔥 !
With the SN0053-G you actually get the appearance of a smaller dial, as the bezel is much wider than usual for a non-dive watch, so this wears a bit smaller on wrist as a result.
The SN0053 looks good, but I think a polished bezel would suit it more. I like that fixed bezel/diver dial look.
Ha ha love the blooper reel. Reminds me of UK's very own sports commentator Dickie Davis. Just type in 'Dickie Davis Blooper'
😉🇬🇧👍
Great finds and video as always. But add me to the quite large group who will never get past that logo. And sad because that pink BB homage is pretty cool.
Some fun choices at very reasonable prices!

I wonder if SM will use the miyota 9075 at some point. I’m certain they’d make an amazing travelers gmt
I’ve got a Thorn coming, the titanium diver, pt5000 in the back, seems great for the price around £100 after all discounts
I'll need to have a look for that one mate!
I don't really mind the logo. I definitely prefer the applied logo. I think I have seven San Martins and three that are keepers for sure. I probably won't be getting one, but both of those tropicals look really nice. Maybe when they hit $200.
Well, that only lasted four days. I just ordered that faded black dial version of the San Martin Tropical.
SM DOES IT AGAIN!!
Loved the blooper reel
I bought the San Martin BB54 which came with that adjust-on-the-fly bracelet, and wow, it has spoiled me from my usual micro adjustment watches with pins-in-holes requiring a tool to adjust.
A worthy bragging point for the watches that feature it.
SN0053 with the beautiful rootbeer sunburst dial for the win.
Got me chuckling when Jodi just gave up and Rephrase the sentence 😂
Great dials at SM but can we get a new case and handset options?
I can't wait for you to get your grubby mitts on the Sn0144-GX. Still in pre-order, but beautiful enamel dials, and a 9015 movement (finally)
Very attractive colours, I must say.
Typo in the dimensions list for the grape dial. Dimensions = 100m wr but dial = 200m wr. Another great video Jody. A bloopers reel would be fun.
I give San Martin a lot of credit. Some of the designers that work their are huge vintage Rolex /Tudor fans and that's a good thing for me. I do wish they would redesign their logo. Maybe print it on the dial instead.
@@24hourgmtchannel64 there are no designers who work at San Martin.
Very high quality watches
yep, St. Marts are the new Rrrooolexxxs !
wow i like the Quint shirt 🦈
Great details for the San Martin watches. What would be your thoughts on an I & W Carnival model 655G with the Miyota 9100 in it?
11:20 what happens if you just like rainbows? 🤷♀️
The degenerates hijacked the rainbow so the rest of the normal world can't use it any more
These are all interesting but not enough to tempt me to actually buy one
Mate, where did you get get that epic t shirt?
They should make a 36mm pink BB, I know several ladies who bemoan there aren’t any good sports watches in their size
Just waiting for the Watermelon to drop. It was only made available to buy on day one (19th) of the latest sale. I too went for tropic strap.
Can you tell me when the next Ali sale will be?
The brown explorer type is the only one that stands out for me. When I go the Ali route, usually Pagani has something nearly as nice about 1/4 less in price with sapphire, screw down, etc....
How much do normaly SM bb58 cost? On sale, missed the 11/11
Should've included the new SN0129 GADA range. They have the most interesting colors in their catalogue imo.
I own now quite a lot of SM watches : the finish is always excellent, but I strongly do not recommend the GMT models : I bought 2, 2 had movement issues. It's a pity to put cheapp movements in such great cases.
Just interrupting here, bought a Mido Multifort a year sent it to get serviced, swapped the band for a 60s band, now can't take it off:))
San Martin is starting to become undeniable, even amongst non AliExpress Shoppers. Their new SN0144 I think will really catch the attention of the general watch world. Thanks for the great list! “Screw it! It’s cheaper!” 😆
SN0116 Tropical black dial for the win
Does AliExpress have citizen watches ?
The blooper reel had me forgetting to drool over the watches 😂
It's a good thing San Martin aren't selling Purple Burglar Alarms 😉🤣😜
Well, Marc of islandwatch just reviewed one, he approves😂

Ha! Hey, I can also type it. Just couldn't say it.
Ok yeah I'm thinking the SN0118 is looking light it might be my first San Martin.
Someone needs to make an "easy on, easy off" dive bezel and fixed bezel watch.
They need make some great casebacks
