Should Competitors be WORRIED?! - San Martin GMT Original Design | Full Review | Shiny Things 

A lot of little things add up here; on the fly clasp, drilled lugs, beads of rice bracelet, color watched date wheel, 6 o'clock date wheel, good finishing, good NH34 movement, boxed sapphire crystal, AR coating, good lum, bi-directional 24 click bezel with good action ... like I said a lot of little things add up.

Lots of people said SanMartin should make their own designs. Now that they have, the same people don’t like the fact they have. SanMartin is on the way up, that’s for sure.

Absolutely great to see San Martin offering a cool original design with such perfect dimensions. Hope they keep up!

As a owner the quality is the reason they will continue to do well

I was waiting for this. Thank you for reviewing the black version when every other reviewer choose the happy blue one. High quality content, just subbed!!!

I was lucky enough to buy the limited edition avocado in November. Very nice colours. :)

Beautiful piece I think and a great review as always

Great watch (and review😅), especially for the price. You get so much more than a Seiko GMT. And now also a rather original design. Although, it does reminds me of a Yema. If they have made the seconds and GMT hand a bright color. I.E. yellow or green, it's really a killer design.

They should be very worried. I’ve yet to be impressed by a luxury diver’s fit and finish after buying a San Martin. The gains in quality are marginal at best for the often seen $3000+ jump. Heck, the bezel action and legibility of the Seamaster 300m for example are significantly inferior in comparison to San Martin watches with their amazing bezel action and lacquer dials.

It has a lot of things going for it and I think San Martin can if they drop Ali Express could become a more upmarket microbrand. Should the bigger companies be worried. Except for Seiko and Citizen, maybe. When companies like San Martin does well, Seiko and Citizen with their mass produced reliable movements powering these watches are filling their own bank accounts very nicely. Plus the billions of dollars the companies are worth and the millions they can spend on marketing, microbrands are a drop in the ocean. However if the San Martin, Steeldive, Addies, Seestern, Heimdallr brands (They could well be the same co under one umbrella, a mini Chinese Swatch group), other better known microbrands should definitely be looking over their shoulders as that is the business these brands are targeting. Just my opinion. Excellent video! Very interesting and just to say, that watch is fantastic! I may well buy one in the next big sale! Meant to say I have the orange dial Seiko GMT, even swapped the hardlex for sapphire and love it. But I'd still buy this one too.

Looks like the design of the Baltic gmt - sans multi-coloured bezel

Excellent

waiting for mine to arrive. That clasp doesn't seem to be well snug with the bracelet... I hope I'm wrong

My wrist is only 15cm/5.9 inch. Do you think it’s able to fit my wrist nicely? Can help me check? Thanks

I buy mainly microbrands and no Chinese watches, except for San Martin. They have proven themselves worthy.

This actually looks like a fresh design rather than a copy

I wish Seiko would make a watch like this, at this price!

Loks like a Vostok Amphibia with Vostok Partner hands

I have the greenish blue and orange version, and my only complaint is that I have a hard time seeing the hands in low light, but it is a complaint that a pair of readers eliminates and is not a serious issue.. I think I might have to get the black one,it is too good to pass up and I think in the near future war is going to make all of these Chinese watches unavailable in the west

Rado Captain Cook?

That clasp fell from the sky and attached itself to this watch and doesn't want to let go.

I have one San Martin, their original design dress watch and it is superb. This looks great, I can't see anything I don't like, case design and finish, bracelet, clasp, dial, bezel etc all look fantastic. I am really tempted, but the only thing putting me off is the fact I have no need for the GMT function.

I love this watch i just dont like the red the non gmt has a red hand also 😢

Nice… to be the first to comment. Great review thank you.

All San Martins look odd without date windows, especially homages. Raise the price 25 bucks and add a date window. Like if you agree.

Looks like a "Sinn GMT" not a insult, very cool

Maybe they should focus on a better logo first

No worries, I am a under value $80 watch guy.

Doxa sub 200 homage

But $300

42mm would've been perfect

It's not original design it's The same shape and very close to Rado Captain Cook The only difference The GMT bezel and in dial 😂😅🤦🏽
