How is this Watch So Good? - $250 Automatic GMT w/ Incredible Finishing & On the Fly Micro-adjust

Lovely watch and incredible value Chris.

Thanks for the video. I like purple, especially the combination purple and red is one of my favorites, there’s something about that textured dial and those colors that I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen, it’s mesmerizing! Sadly…I never wear anything that would go with this watch. I hope they make it in blue, it would look ocean like.

When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.

amzwatch is best watch factory!!!

Thanks Chris. Recently received my first SM watches: the reviewed watch but with the aventurine dial and full brushed centerlink bracelet (truly awesome watch all around); and your “on-wrist “ but on the orange rubber/silicone strap (another great SM surprise).
Your review covers a lot very quickly - thanks for the insight.

This watch is so so so close but I really don't like this handset that they keep putting on everything. I know it's such a small nitpick but they just feel so generic.

Just got the 42mm with malachite dial and the finishing and detail is staggering!

The case and bracelet is exceptional that’s what I hear, good value for the money. On some videos it’s compared to a Rolex bracelet and case. In some cases is a better finish than Rolex bracelet and case. San Martin are giving you a whole watch for a fraction of the price of a Rolex. Obviously, the movement in a Rolex is more sophisticated. When you take out the commercial side of the business what are you paying for in a Rolex. Can some one explain.

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say— out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MaMaCoo 's watches are the most intriguing.

chris i just pre ordered a Nordic Marine Instruments SOVERN

All that build quality with a horrible logo.🤦‍♂️

I love it! I plan on getting the Aventurine dial.

I wish san martin would use miyota movements instead of the cheap seiko NH movements, but it's easy enough to mod in there so whatever. This is a beautiful watch. The bracelet taper is perfect

Homage in the best sense! Price is even lower during the sales. Pretty sure you can get this one for closer to 200 usd

San Martin has been hitting it out of the park recently.
I really like the look of this watch!👍

That logo is just hideous!

Insane. All other brands have no excuse.

👍👍👍 Nice Watch and Elegant Watch with Elegant color introduce by Watch Expert - Watch Chris 👍👍👍

I recently purchased the red dial, 3 hand version and it is a great watch. I am very impressed with the watch. The finishing is exceptional for the price point.

Change the unsightly logo and that should make an almost perfect watch.

I love my addiesdive sand dial, now I want one of these too 😅

Watch is great, like to see a version in titanium.

The purple-red is an odd combo for me personally but the watch overall kicks ass. I think I may need to dip my toes into the San Martin lineup soon. They’re getting hard to ignore at this point.

I love my bronze SM and I have watches that cost $2,500-$4,000 so I just like a good watch regardless of price. I can't think of a use for a GMT though but love this watch, definitely Grand Seiko homage. Thanks Chris for sharing good, affordable watches, with the World!

I don't like the logo i wish you could choose between the logo & the script they used to use.

To get the same specs from seiko would cost minimum 4 or 5 times the price and it would still be inferior to the San Martin. I can already feel the seiko fanboys losing their 💩 because they can't handle the truth.
You can keep your superfluous brand heritage I'd rather have a good watch.

San Martin has become the mainstream microbrand.

Thank you for not calling it an original design like JOMW and Just the Watch did

Beautiful watch and great video, but personally I don't like the San Martin branding and usually all aliexpress brands Brodery, Heimdaler, Lige, Pagani, tandorio..Addiesdive..Hruodland(?)Glenaw ..
I would rather prefer a chinese watch with a name like Beijing Watch Company, Wang Design, Li Atelier, Maison Wu, Liu Watch, Shanghai Time, etc..

Most of affordable watches are made in chinese factories like San Martin and many high quality ones. So I am not wondering why we have better prices from the source without the premium of the well known watches .
These days every watch is homage or "copage " of the other

How is it possible? Easy! Just use a $15 movement and very cheap labor. Voila! An extremely cheap rip off guaranteed to fool the masses!

Chris has gone all Ali Express. Let’s hear it for sane watch prices. Just went to the Windup in Chicago and the prices are eye-watering and frankly ridiculous. Christopher Ward in particular is now out of reach for most of us living on a budget and would rather pay the rent than buy one of their watches.

The SN-0118-G is a really solid, original SM design! True story, while listening to you, I was looking at the 118. While I appreciate the GMT, I'm not a fan of stainless bezels (including Rollers).

Thanks for continuing to show certain Chinese Brands. I know not showing them wouldn’t affect your numbers so thanks!

Beautiful watch. I’d like to see it in a mid / royal blue dial colour.

The 3 hand red fume dial is hot aswell 😀👍

They're smashing it now 🤯

Love San Martin 👍👍👍
