Wow! I was very surprised to see this video! Thank you Mark for reviewing San Martin and providing suggestions! In the future, we will make more and better designs at San Martin. At the same time, I also hope that Long Island Watch will get better and better, and we will make progress together!
Before this, we had warehouses in the United States and Europe to store some inventory. Later, due to some policy changes, we have not yet reactivated these warehouses. Maybe we will restart them in the future.
And our logistics and transportation speed has also improved a lot. In the official store of the AliExpress platform, many countries support 7-15 days of fast delivery. We have also been doing more things to effectively improve the customer shopping experience. I hope we have the opportunity to do more exchanges! I wish you a long-lasting sales!

To review and honestly advertise a competitors watch is a credit to Mark. Hats off to you.

Marc once again demonstrating that he’s the nicest guy in the industry. There’s a reason I go out of my way to buy from him.

Directly offering valuable insight for a competitor. Mad respect for Mark.

[Dunkelheit_Schwarz]

And again Marc does something that no other watch brand owner and seller would do. Mad respect!

Marc, your unassailable integrity and commitment to the wristwatch community is exemplified by this remarkable video. It's among the primary reasons why I have become a devoted customer of your business. I am tempted to direct my MBA students to watch this video to see what genuine leadership and commitment to integrity, mission, and vision are.
Thank you.! 👍

You are a class act, Mark! I'm a retired business man, and appreciate the way you handle yourself. It is NEVER good strategy to go negative....never understood why that is so hard for so many people to understand. I will be a customer.

Nobody could ever say you’re not an honest, real ass, solid person. Just earned my subscription.

Marc, i appreciate you reviewing this watch. You show that you are a true watch enthusiast and have earned my respect. Thank you.

Have never heard of a brand honestly discussing the competition. Good for you. San Martin does excellent work. Another one of these brands I really respect is "Baltany". They do tasteful homages of retro designs, and even let you customize the watch for a decent price.

I just bought a San Martin watch a few days ago but was very hesitant because it ships from overseas. Marc makes a great point that if they shipped from the USA, more people would probably buy them. Great review Marc!

Marc is hands down the realest horology YouTuber. I love your videos man

[MrMqwe]

I smell a San Martin/ Islander limited edition coming.

[Hipnosis]

I own 2 Islanders. It's because the guy on the screen has integrity. All the best Marc. Nice watch.

Great review, and a sage business-take regarding the brand. It's useful to remember that San Martin only recently moved beyond the shadow of AliExpress (and whatever baggage came with that association), so I have to imagine that at least one or two people there are thinking about how to move the brand further in terms of stature, and I'd like to believe you'll have their ear in terms of general advice, given *your* current stature in the biz. Their watches, compared to their former AliExpress stablemates, have been consistently good, and stylistically getting better. Another great behind-the-curtain video, Marc!

This is exactly why I am a customer of LIW; honest reviews, educational videos and integrity from Marc, plus great Customer Service from LIW. Congrats!!

Owning 17 of San Martin watches, most of them with custom dial, I can definitely say that they are solid and excellent for the asking prices.

[noelmurphy]

You are a star Marc, not many people would be brave enough to both buy and positively review a competitors product.
Great work👏👏👏👏

[mattys]

There is no-one in the watch business that works like Mark. Top man with a heart of gold

[santiagoloajr]

I appreciate the completely honest review. So much so, that I went an ordered one just now. Thanks Marc. Also, I can’t wait for the next Islander release.
