I love this watch, looks so much cleaner than the GMT version. I have one of the sand dial versions so I'm going to wait for the new dial designs but I am sold when it becomes available. Nice job San Martin and thank you Gary for another great review.
So glad I saw this before the sale ended. Just got the red dial with barely six hours remaining. Thank you, sir for highlighting this wonderful piece. It will be my first San Martin.
@@ilikewatches And you base this estimate on what exactly? Jody‘s been secretive about the exact manufacturer of his watches, but rumor has it, it is none other than San Martin. Which is not at all unlikely given Jody‘s good relationship with them, the quality standards he is demanding from his manufacturer and the fact he is using the same clasp.
San Martin don’t have a factory, they don’t make their own watches so it suits Jody for that to be the rumour, he can piggy back off their reputation 😂
Well I finally bought it. This one is calling me like a mermaid I couldn't resist. This unique red dial alone justify trying an hommage watch. Will be my first San Martin, maybe not the last if the quality is there.
I love it! I bought a San Martin GMT watch because I liked the style and color. I thought it would be great to have the GMT movement but I don’t use it. My old tired eyes just can’t read the time from a single 24 hour hand. The hours maybe, but the minutes? Forget about it! A 3 hander is much preferred. Thanks, Gary!
The Sith emblem would fit nicely on this dial. It just looked too damn good. SM made the changes I liked to see, three hands, no bling on the bracelet, clean bezel and added a ridiculously beautiful dial. So I pulled the trigger expecting to pay €240 with the €20 discount. But lo and behold, I pushed 'pay' and was confronted by a 'price adaptation' which resulted in me paying €198 for the watch. Can't wait to get my hands (wrist) on my first San Martin. What a weird and wonderful shopping experience. 😂
Well Gary, you win, this watch is absolutely stunning! I haven't liked a single GMT version of this watch you shared so far, they all look so sterile to me and so "tryhard and wannabe" even with beautiful dials. But this one, blimey! Honest to God, if I have not ordered Jody's Ascent, I would have bought this particular red version on the spot, to be my gada moving forward!
Imma wait for the other version. The other one will have a decorated caseback. The only negative thing about san martin is their caseback. They need to embossed, etch, or put their shark logo on it instead of just leaving it blank.
The lapus lazuli dial has almost ruined my hobby. I was buying 2-3 watches a month and looking for something special. I've finally found that in this watch, and i can't take it off. Its incredibly well finished and is gorgeous. I'm now only willing to buy something really special. I can now wait and save because I'm satisfied wearing this.
The red looks good on this dial. I wonder if Proxima will offer it on their watches too. They offer a different movement than the NH35, which I am tired of. If SM could make the case smaller overall I would probably get one. Would look interesting next to my Proxima
Just got a new sub here. Awesome video quality. And the comment about you not supporting people that lie to their viewers and your integrity.. awesome. I dont mind people hyping up a brand but please let me know if you got paid for it. You can get paid and still be honest.
Thanks for the review Gary! I have 2 questions if you can answer I'd appreciate it. 1- 13mm thickness for this watch feels thick on your wrist or is that ok? 2- Do they provide additional discount code for your channel? Because in the video you mentioned it's around 205$ but both in AliExpress official store and in their website lowest price I see is 228$
It feels fine, not too chunky…I even show in my video the checkout screen and I’m not getting additional discounts, all I did was collected the AliExpress sale coupon and checked out.
@@ilikewatches yes I saw that part that`s why I asked Gary , anyways thanks a lot for the info and the video as well. I think I will wait for the SN044X it supposed to come with Miyota 9 series movement
That is an absolutely stunning watch! The dial is gorgeous.. I already have the white sand dune dial GMT SN0129, but I could be seriously tempted to pick up one of these. They really are next level. Slap the words “Swiss made” on the dial and you’d be talking well over a grand for their level of finishing.
Very nice! A red dial watch is missing in my collection. I's just a matter of personal preference, but I prefer this type of GADA watch to have no crown guards, so I'm even more excited about the SN0144.
New sub! Excellent review and appreciated the insight into Jody. I unsubbed from him, many months ago, after being steered wrong, repeatedly, on his recommendations. It's fine to shill for brands, but honesty is needed for subpar products, not blowing smoke. Definitely going to order this one!
Glad it helped and I fell for one of his reviews sadly…a Formex and it was not at all as he described. I contacted Formex and as it turned out….paid advert not review. 🙄
@@ilikewatches Funny, when I started in 2004, TH-cam didn't even exist, let alone the massive watch content options we have now. Always a blessing when it's on target, but frustrating when not. I'm 750+ watches into it now, but still learning. Really enjoy your approach!
They just released this in a green and purple dial version, and they both look as good as this red, maybe even better. I'm really thinking about getting the purple
@@garylangford6755 ok for me if its liked with the 35, but in my opinion such I nice finished piece should use something more stable. All my 35 (and I have some) are a little...rough. You set them to good clock values and they run 1 month or maybe 3 very nice and then one day u power it up and it changed for no known reason or they just change their behaviour every day. 🙃 Its not the end of the world but I decided after the Erebus just for me that I will only buy watches with different movements. And (best)GADA watches in 2024 for me are solar powered, Citizen done some real nice pieces that I really would call GADA...... Grettings🙂
@@markusbabicz2821 I was thinking the same about NH35 not so long ago. And then I got one quite rough SW200, another SW200 broke down on me (thankfully warranty covered it), my Miyota 9000 run like hell (I managed to regulate it myself) etc. What I mean by that is - these supposed 'premium' movements are premium mostly in price. And frankly - I find that 4hz is mostly gimmick after owning several watches with such movements. I got to the point where movement for me is mostly irrelevant (at least until the price of the watch matches it) but I certainly agree with one thing: if there's a choice, I'd take the solar or mechaquartz movement any day of the week.
I didn’t need a GMT movement. I tried the Addiesdive white sand dial and while it’s good, I think this San Martin SN0129 is way better. Tempted to get the white one, although I know readability would be better on the red or brown dial. Ahhh.
The first gmt had polished center links, so it was a turnoff to many. The V2 fixed that and offered mineral dials, but a bigger price tag, which made other reconsider it. Now they're offering a good compromise, lower price, and all brushed. So what we've learned from San Martin is probably wait for an improvement v2/v3 since they usually miss something in their first offering.
I've got the Aventurine GMT version of this watch. I'm not crazy about the GMT complication, but it does make the design of the watch complete. Here, with the brushed bezel, I think the watch looks like it's missing something. If this were available at the time I bought my GMT version, I'd still stick to my original choice I think.
At 1:11 the "burnt orange" one is actually brown. It's called "Brown Desert Texture". But we all see colour differently and fun fact: brown is for the most part, just a darker shade of orange. So what you said is either correct or incorrect, depending on one's personal point of view of what constitutes "orange". I only like warm colours like red, orange, yellow on dive watches. On this kind of watch I prefer the classic green or blue, and of course white or black.
Hey... I do follow your channel... I own San martin and agree with every word you told.... you should try hmt brand watch from India...10% cost of this watch.... Brilliant watch for that value
If I could wave a magic wand, I'd take the dial of the upcoming 0144X (especially with the color-matched 6PM date window) and put it in this amazing case with the box sapphire. But at $200, San Martin may have finally made me a customer with this... (UPDATE: with aliexpress coupons, final price is $188 + tax! I don't think I can wait for the 0144X at that price...)
Waiting for my first San Martin to be delivered in the next couple days(your channel was partially responsible), went for the sn0121 cause i like the aesthetics a lot, but this one looks amazing too. Looks like San Martin does go in the direction of becoming a proper watch brand. One thing that i would like to see is the applied logo cut differently, more like a version of their painted logo but 3d and made of metal instead of the current solid hexagon with the brand etched in to it which looks like a compromise solution(another reason i went for the sn0121). It seems like a small thing but i think it would elevate the brand even further - one brand that did something similar with their latest models is Erebus and the logo looks great
I here and see more and more positive things about SM. Haven't pulled the proverbial yet, but I need something that takes me and I'll become a customer.
Im gunna say it. The three best value for money brands in this Chinese micro/alix space have got to be: 1. Boderry Offer relatively original if not generic but nice designs in titanium with seiko or high beat 80hr power reserve movements. Just insanely specd watches for under 100 - 300 USD max. Truly incredible and very slept on. 2. San Martin Not much else to be said, everyone knows em theyre the seiko of this space if u will but in a gud way. 3. Sugess Probably my personal fav alix brand (if QC was better theyd be first or second in this ranking) but in all honesty the build quality varies significantly in relation to their price range. Their absolute best built watches are probably their rolex cl-homages but they offer alot of highly complicated watches for under $500 usd. Tons of mechanical and automatic moonphase, chrono, annual calendar options, even tourbillons for under 1000.
Looks like a less expensive version of Jodie's Ascent watch (which I have on order). Its still pretty stunning though for the money. Another win for San Martin.
I’ve noticed that the watch your showing has a skeleton back in one clip then a solid back bear the end. Where you just showing what movement was in it and that wasn’t the actual watch?
@@ilikewatches thank you for verifying that. I shall be ordering mine today in the red version. Will be my first san martin in my collection, so excited!
Should haved shrunk it a bit. I can forgive a GMT watch for being north of 12mm, but a 3 hander like this, they should have threw a PT5000 in it to make it thinner. Shame as its pretty nice otherwise
San Martin are the kings of reusing the same parts over and over to create new models. Sadly this includes movements too. NH34 and NH35 all over the place. That’s a shame.
I would just love to see textures other than the desert texture. I have the white desert texture GMT SN0129 and the big thing keeping me from grabbing one of these is that I already have one with the same texture. If they do this is the aventurine or some of the other dial options they did on the GMT version, I might have to bite.
Wait for the new models they have coming, it's some sort of unique to each dial porcelain painting technique that heats up to a different design. It might even have an upgraded bracelet too. I was very tempted by this, but I'd rather wait for the new model Gary shows in the video.

So glad I saw this before the sale ended. Just got the red dial with barely six hours remaining. Thank you, sir for highlighting this wonderful piece. It will be my first San Martin.
You will not be disappointed!
This begs for a comparison with the Erebus Ascent.
This is $204 in the sale, the Accent is $349, and is unlikely to be as well made as this.

@@ilikewatchesabsolutely worth the money 👍
I saw this one, now having seen your review, I’ve ordered one!! Amazing value and it looks friggin brilliant!
It looks fantastic but please put the smaller on the fly clasp on the new watch
Right, the ever praised SM clasp is far too long for the amount of adjustability it provides.
SM is really kicking it with the details and quality, continues doing it better and better 👍🏻
Imma wait for the other version. The other one will have a decorated caseback. The only negative thing about san martin is their caseback. They need to embossed, etch, or put their shark logo on it instead of just leaving it blank.
I literally have no idea what the caseback looks like on any of my watches but if that's the key to you then glad they are catering.
I think this one has a more interesting case shape than the other version which makes up for the lack of a decorated back

Nice looking watch but no more NH35 here. Hopefully the other new sportswatch features better movement(s).

Beautiful watch! Do San Martin tell you and approximate launch date for the SN0144X?
It’s in production, roughly 6 weeks
Inflation has hit hard, these watches use to have options of the Chinese PT5000 and Swiss movements.
... but not for 200 USD. With PT5000, if I remember correct it was more like 350
My only wish is the white dial had gun metal / black hands and markers for clarity.
I was very impressed with their SBGE285 homage but this range looks even better. So impressive! 😍

This one is gorgeous. Definitely going to pick up the silver one.
What is name for this type of dial?
Sand dune maybe?
There's a bit of Casio T200
about it.

i have small wrists, waiting to san martin start doing small watches, 46 or less lug to lug.
Holy Moly, this is a great watch.

Looks like a less expensive version of Jodie's Ascent watch (which I have on order). Its still pretty stunning though for the money. Another win for San Martin.
Excellent review as usual Gary. The black background for showing the watch is an excellent innovation. Please keep that going.
Good looking watch but how accurate is it??

Should haved shrunk it a bit. I can forgive a GMT watch for being north of 12mm, but a 3 hander like this, they should have threw a PT5000 in it to make it thinner. Shame as its pretty nice otherwise
San Martin are the kings of reusing the same parts over and over to create new models. Sadly this includes movements too. NH34 and NH35 all over the place. That’s a shame.
Damn, I ordered an Erebus Ascent with white dial.....Had I known this was waiting in the wings I had ordered this one (so ultimately I probably will)
Shame…sorry I wasn’t earlier
Looks smart if a couple of mm too chunky.
Really nice looking watch. I could see it around my wrist no problem. 6/4/24.
lol…it’s a stunner
Sanmartin should print something on back cover not plain cover
WOW. Gonna get me one
I would just love to see textures other than the desert texture. I have the white desert texture GMT SN0129 and the big thing keeping me from grabbing one of these is that I already have one with the same texture. If they do this is the aventurine or some of the other dial options they did on the GMT version, I might have to bite.
Wait for the new models they have coming, it's some sort of unique to each dial porcelain painting technique that heats up to a different design. It might even have an upgraded bracelet too. I was very tempted by this, but I'd rather wait for the new model Gary shows in the video.
