This NEW San Martin Will Blow Your Mind

The NEW San Martin SN0144 is BRILLIANT! It without question offers quality that rivals the Swiss, but can you stomach the price tag?

We're not conditioned to expect low prices from Chinese manufacturers: we're conditioned to expect overpriced products from the mainstream brands.

I own several low-tier San Martin watches and their quality is quite stunning. Their watches cannot be simply dismissed as "Chinese scrap". Good value for money instead.

This is clearly a step up from all SM watches, in every aspect. Regarding the price complaint, I just checked yesterday and, after using a discount code from another YouTuber, I was able to bring it down to $297.
It is still much cheaper than any other brand using this movement and will probably be even cheaper in the 11.11 sale.

I agree with you. That red dial is the best. And the fact that they use a Miyita 9015 is such an attractive value proposition.

Enamel dial and a decent movement for that price is a good value. Excellent review Kieron, thank you

Received my orange version a few days ago and it looks much better in person, it has a precision made and luxury appearance about it. Another thing worth noting is the orange dial in some lighting appears like glowing hot metal which can be captivating to look at. Received in Canada less than a week,

Whoa. You said something nice about San Martins.

That watch looks great! I just bought a red dial watch, so I think I'll wait for another San Martin offering. They just seem to be getting better and better.

I payed £245 for my blue version of this watch from San Martin and I did not have to pay any import duty. The watch is stunning.

Great review and a gorgeous watch. For the first 7 mins of your vid I only had one thought running through my head and then around 7 1/2 mins in you said the exact thing I keep thinking... $360 for a Chinese watch is tough to get my head around. We'll see how it ages in my brain, lol. Thanks!

[maxlarsson]

must say, it is so fun watching you start cozying up to the real affordable quality watches from SM!

[rikdriscoll]

San Martin have done a really nice job here, simple and quite elegant.
The dial is stunning, I think this watch would look great on a vintage black leather strap.
Great review Kieron...passionate, informative and positive as the end links 😁
Cheers mate 👍

Glad to see San Martin is upgrading their movements to the miyota. The nh35 was a solid workhorse, but a bit below the higher standards that San Martin is providing.

[watchalot]

It's as good if not better than my Astor- Banks Fortitude and costs about £200 less. Great watches mate, and makes me wonder why we spend so much on timepieces that cost so much more (me included)

[maxinahunt]

Great video!
My goodness some people can be negative…..
This watch is tastefully made and nicely in character for its features.

I just cannot get behind the poor bracelet articulation. My CW Twelve has nice tight links, but they articulate enough so I can lay it flat on my nightstand. I’d have no reservations if I could option this with the SN0129-GC2 bracelet that also features the new clasp. Great review as always!

[sweetcorn]

San Martin are definitely upping their game. The red dial is mesmerising.

[chrislyall]

San Martin are making headway, about time,

Man, that bracelet is a stunner, imo along with the dial. I've always heard that san martin does regulate their movements in house.

Why exactly does heritage matter so much? Any equivalent priced option, while having a heritage, also don't have that positive of a perception, such as Tissot. Anyone who knows the brand, knows it as an "entry level" brand. Those brands, don't have the most recognition either, as the average person only know rolex, omega or Patek as fancy brands. Tissot and seiko have "cheaper" watches labels, for the "Average" person. Giving them some obscure brand with heritage and this, they'd assume the SM was more expensive because they don't relaly know anything about watches.
