Not perfect, but just so far away from most of the $250 big brand stuff in terms of finish, it isn't even funny. Looks and feels like a much more expensive watch, which is why it is the new #1 at the price point. Cheers, Jody

Got my first San Martin about a month ago, the BB panda dial chronograph, and was blown away with the entire watch. In hand, it felt solid, tight, and very smooth or soft to the touch. The dial color and finish, endices, hands, logo, were all fantastically finished, and made for a stunning dial. This SN0129 is a nice looking watch and brushed and polished perfectly. My eye is on the SN0136-G.

The thing I like most about San Martin is that they listen to their customs comments and reviews and make changes.
I have three watches from San Martin and they are excellent very well made watches.

I have that one with the 'desert sand' dial, and after noticed that it was spending more time on my wrist than any other single watch, I ordered an aventurine one as well. These are impeccable pieces, highly recommended!

I’ve decided to pick one of these up and normally that wouldn’t be a big deal but for about a year now I’ve tried to be much more selective when buying a watch and not pull the trigger immediately… But after two weeks, I keep coming back to this one I’ve not purchased in a whilethis is it!

Most worn watch over the past 3 wears has been my San Martin SN0046-G. I replaced the bracelet with a Barton Elite Silicon and never looked back. It's the perfect GADA watch - It goes in the water, it goes to the gym, it goes on date night, and it goes in the board room. Best $200 I ever spent on a watch.

Prices of San Martin are over the Moon, now this watch is over 400 eur.

Ive owned this watch a couple of months and the love for it has not let up. I own 15 watches including omega, heuer, tudor longines and this watch comfortably sits next to those in my box. Its definitely the top aliex watch right now. And dont sleep on the polished center links. A little bling is good sometimes. An all brushed oyster bracelet is the most boring of all bracelet types.

I have the same case with the Lapis dial. I really am blown away at the quality for the price. They really hit it out of the park with the case and bracelet here.

I adore your intros with "Hallo and welcome..." It always brings me good feeling

Best T-shirt ever!! RIP Douglas, so long and thanks for all the fish!!

[MsWoodgnome]

Bought this four weeks ago. Really pleased with it - only critisism is that it loses 15 seconds a day - but within specification. GMT really functional as supporting a work team on a -8hr time zone.

[davidsherrick]

On my 5th San Martin now. Just as good as my entry level Swiss watches. Great video Jody!

[caladbolg]

Totally agree, but have you looked at the updated version without polished center links? The version with aventurine/marble dials?

[RJ-cqdd]

That DJ homage from San Martin is brilliant (displayed at the start of the video). I've got the blueish mop dial and i'll never need another dress watch.

4:00 There seems to be an issue with the NH34 where the GMT hand jumps backwards when you set the time, just as the Mingzhu DG5833 does. Every YouTube review of an NH34 watch that I've seen has been the same, so it's not just a one-off.

The only grumble I have in my reviews on SM is the sterile casebacks. I have been banging on about it for well over a year but so far nothing has changed! Nice review Jody. Mike MRW, PS congrats on the 300K !

Man these Chinese watches are getting better and better. I got my Addiesdive AD2030 two weeks ago for like 40$ and it's crazy how the quality is so good for the price, for example the bracelet with the milled clasp at this pricepoint. Even tough I already have other Seiko / Citizen / Orient watches I absolutely love the Addiesdive and have been wearing it ever since, especially in that nice light blue color, perfect for summer time and the size makes it sit so nice on the wrist.

[chuckmontgomery]

Picked up the green one last year. Very happy with it. I also have a Seiko GMT, the San Martin cost less, wears infinitely thinner, and the bracelet is better. Hard to argue value for money.

[zillsburyy]

just got my miltado salmon/champagne dial. its a super affordable quartz version of the baltic mini rotor small seconds. also just got he WatchDives version of the seamaster 300 they make the best homage with the white dial version. ceramic dial insert and everything.

[Tangylives]

I have the aventurine and it is really nice, even next to my luxury watches. Admittedly i would've preferred the Miyota 9075 for the flyer gmt and a reduction in thickness, but for the money i can hardly complain!
