Only a Top 5 today because I have to leave some for later in the year. Mind you, there will probably be another dozen by then anyway! Some of the colourful models are now beginning to look pretty similar, so they may only be of interest if you don't have anything like it already. But it is still great to see SMs selling for under $200USD during the big sales. Cheers, Jody

@@James-dt7kyi see what you did there. However, i dont think that Nite-owl is here for an "argument" 😉
Silly, that is… 😊
I actually saw someone made a watch that used that silly walk graphic as the hands.

It's fascinating to see how first your experience as a watch reviewer informed you as a watch producer, and now your experience as a watch producer is informing your reviews. And we benefit from your ever growing expertise.
Your forgot to ask if Jody is available for a romantic dinner on Friday night.
I just bought my first San Martin, the Tudor homage BB54, at 37mm. I try to keep a watch on my wrist for a week before going to my cache of 30-plus watches for a swap out, but usually I get bored and only last a few days before changing. This San Martin has been the only watch on my wrist for over two weeks. The size, legibility and ergonomics are just perfect... and this is my first adjust-on-the-fly bracelet. I can't believe that I've tolerated the old school pin and holes micro-adjustment that my other much more expensive name brand models have.
I'm glad that I tried San Martin.
I think I'm going go for this watch as my next watch. Is the bracelet female end links? I could cope with a male end link that doesn't stick out too far (I have Seiko mod watch of the explorer & didn't realise just how far the male end links would jut out. Much prefer the female end link. I have 6.25 inch wrist so small details with the size can make a pretty big difference to how it wears
@@travis3430 The end links are female. I have a 6 1/2 inch wrist and this watch drapes over the wrist very nicely. The adjust-on-the-fly micro adjustment feature really helps with the day-to-day variance in wrist size due to things like temperature or hydration. It is so simple and quick to adjust that it makes my other watches hard to tolerate because they need a tool to push in tiny pins through tiny holes while not letting the spring loaded pin to escape the housing.
There are many videos on RUclips for this watch, and that is how I discovered it. Take a look at those for more complete information. Good luck.
Great selections and presentation. Anyone else wish that gigantic raised pimple of a logo was replaced by ‘San Martin’ in a font the size of the word Automatic at the bottom? I could never get used to that.
Ooh the red one is the most tempting
Cool looking watches. #5 is gorgeous. For me, however, I just can't get past the logo.
same, total deal breaker
What in particular don't y'all like about it?
@@annikinstarkiller600 looks like child's hand writing, very cheap looking font
At arms length can you actually see/read the font? To me the applied index just looks like a white hexagon 95% of the time @@kyledriscollmusic
@@kyledriscollmusicit looks like a pimple.
Yes, that last 3 hander is a winner. Good job, Jody.
I quite like the idea of orange lume. 🍊
Love that 'snow drift' SN0129. Being from Maine and living in Florida it brings back good memories of cold winter fun. Cheers!
I wish they had the purple wave dial was available on the non-GMT case of the red.
Hey Jody, I loved the orange turbine pilot so much, you inspired me to pull the trigger on the 39.5mm version! It's on sale for 11/11 at 44% off. This will be my second San Martin piece. I just can't say enough about the price/quality index that this company generates. I can see a line-up of San Martins in my future. Great t-shirt, by the way!!
I own the snowflake brown waffle and I must say it’s beautiful and better in the hand.
In the last sale I got myself a 9-DAO "Engineer" and it hasn't been a let down (just got it yesterday). San Martin has quite a few interesting offerings, but I don't buy watches with NH35s anymore. I prefer to spend a bit more and get a PT5000. The PT5000 is brilliant because you can swap in an SW200 if you ever feel like it (e.g. because you really like the watch).
I got one a few months ago the end links on mine are atrocious - so loose. Head of watch is amazing though
@@bifflee3603 That's disappointing. Did you send them a video or photos to show them the problem? It seems like they make a bigger effort with quality than your average manufacturer in China. I'm actually tempted to get another one w/ black MOP dial.
Oh dear, I think I may need to buy my first San Martin! That red dial is insane. And, let me be the voice of reason. A color matched date wheel is fine for black or white. Sometimes other colors, too. But I think for bold colors it looks tacky. Great choice by San Martin
SN0113W needs to be added, very nice AT homage
The second watch is fire. For me I don’t mind the logo at all. I mean no different style than a Tudor. I think it’s classy
Just to point out the 119 and the 118 are slightly different. The 119 GMT is all polished with a polished mesh where the 118 is fully brushed with a brushed mesh bracelet. Also, the mesh by itself is $90 so it’s a very good deal just to get one of these, especially the 118, to get the mesh for your other watches.
If San Martin do a classically styled 34mm little dressy number... I'm in! 😅 Number 5 comes close to making me order right now!!!! It's a good thing that it's a little chunky, otherwise I would be seriously having to resist the urge.
These look so nice for the money.
I saw Andrew Morgan mentioned the Ascent on his channel today. That must feel good for you.
SN0116 Root Beer is my favorite San Martin. Looks so good in person
Thanks for your great in depth reviews and help introducing me to San Martin! Much better bargain than the actual seiko's for the price. Have the og Seiko 5 gmt - orange dial, over a year use, the movement is solid then just picked up the San Martin SN005-B1 with BGW-9 lume as I only have C3 lume in my collection so had to switch it up. Sapphire lumed bezel too. The exact cosmetic upgrades Tudor would make to their BB GMT, the aluminum bezel was such a turn off for $5k plus, though it has a far superior movement. For under $500, this will do for sure. All the best from Canada. Cheers!
All great choices. I especially like the last one. To me , the case design looks a little like an aqua terra & the dial resembles an explorer. Really nice.
Also love the BB58 homage.
I’ve already got the SN0129 coming from the June 1-7 Summer Carnival sale ❤ that red dial grabbed me! It’ll be bumped out of regular rotation once my two Ascents arrive but it’ll fill the gap til then!
So-called "sale" prices are a little dubious since on the fourth watch at least it's the same as I paid about 4 weeks ago. Love it though. Blue dial/orange.
Wow. Amazing pieces. Now trying to prioritize Waffle Diver, Mint Choc Chip and Red Wave for next purchase .... 🤔
I have already spent my allowance on a Acent (purple helix) so no more for me lol
I just bought myself a watch from another manufacturer but seeing these SM and the sale prices has my thinking...I also saw a Steeldive Starbuck hommage on sale for $50
Jody after watching your channel for 5 years and being I think the king now since another one of the original watch reviewers has been fading. ( Shave that little moustache). I'm glad you still take the time to review a Casio or an Ali nugget.
Thanks mate! Always time for a nugget ;)
I love the look of the new three hand 129, in red!
Ya really nice
San Martin has such a great logo and brand identity.
That orange pops!
Already ordered the red dial SN0129 a week ago, still not shipped yet… hope it will be soon I just can’t wait !
Glad to see I’m not the only one!
Glad to see I’m not the only one!
San Martin lava dial. Awesome watch. Good list.
@justonemorewatch the red dial one is awesome! Have you seen there GMT model with the dark blue sparkle dial? To me that GMT is the winner for me with such a unique sparkle dial!
My own pick is the San Martin SN019-G with SW200 movement 👌
Just ordered my first SM, the zulu time homage (SN0140W) in black/gilt. Can't wait for it to get here!
"Perfectly Palatable" seems like a task for a Scotsman's accent. 😎
One threshold question I tend to have-would I like it more than an ascent? So far, I don’t think so.
Jodi, can you compare the San Martin SN017, SN019, SN084, SN0111 ?
What's the difference? Which is the newest? Which is the best?
Have you ever reviewed the SN0013 V2? The Aqua Terra homage? I’d like to see you review one of those. I have two of them and I can’t stop raving about them.
the light green sunburst dials with yellow indexes are so amazing, as the last one too
i was thinking about some but i think i add/save from my treasure ~100$ more, and buy an erebus 😜 (especially if there will be similar colours…)
Next time San Martin goes to the photo copier I hope they turn that logo down by 30%...
Or go to the much nicer script they use on their vintage diver. I cannot bring myself to buy a SM because I hate the logo so much.
I have been saying the same thing since it was launched. I will never buy one until that logo disappears. It drives me crazy.
Anyone else noticing that the bezel insert on the second watch is the exact same font/style as the one on the Erebus origin?
You don't suppose that's a coincidence, do you?
He already said he used a different factory than SM.
@@Chris-de2qcWhere did he indicate that?
Probably the video he made entirely of the factory, but 🤷🏼♂️
Anyone else notice the bezel insert on the second watch looks just like a lot of other diver style watches? 🥱
Excellent list, the turbine makes an appearance. You should do a similar list for Baltany
Great collection 👌 thanks for the heads up
the last one on the aventurine dial that they used on the GS GMT homage would be amazing!
And a six o'clock date with a color matched date wheel. Regards
No space for the SN0113W v2? Probably would have swapped that with either watch number #2 or #4.
San Martins have started popping up on my 70% off with coins offers. I could've picked one up today for £80 inc tax.
I ordered the red S0129 during last sale. Apparently it hasn't left the factory yet. Or there's something gone wrong with the supply of information.
Well, patience is a virtue, they say. So....any idea where to get it? 😂
Jody, honest to god I don't know how you spruk this stuff with a straight face. Still love your channel
San Martin can not go wrong with cases, dials or straps/bracelets! I just wish they’d help the guys out who like the high beat rate. So few of their watches since the NH35 crisis have come with anything but low beat rate movements. I think it would move them up to another notch if they included some Miyota 9 series watches. Jmho
Ill be honest, I have trouble paying over 250 usd for a watch with an NH35. Case finish is worth something but I dont know if its worth that much more to me than some other Chinese/micro brands. Just seems like a bit of a cheap out on a watch that doesnt look much different compared to a ~100 usd watch with more features.
Exactly how i feel there are just as good watches out there homages for far less ,steeldive berny grandmarlin addesdive.
Zero hour army checking in Jody!
Have StMartin rounded the corners on the 128's Hammerhead hour hand or squashed it slightly - it looks better than the TenPole version
My fav is 129 red dial but I have a big beef with it. The hands are too feminine in contrast with 3D indices. GSeiko knows how to 3d hands and make it more dominant to the indices. But hey it is only me. Thank you for your videos and thanks to San Martin for their latest titanium watches. I love them all. Does anyone know if SN0121T is a real SMartin or Smaller company taking advantage of the name. Cause I don't see it on official SM store.
Great watches, great styles. Decisions, decisions!!
It's a very nice video. Is the watch on your wrist in this video the San Martin Sn 0129 model?
On the BB homage even the waffle dial isn't original Pagani did it on an early version of their BB, so a homage of a homage? Cheers
What pagani is it?
@@rutherfordmylerang5278 I don't know the reference but it's still on Ali express
@@antonyreyn thanks, no problem... Pagani is still cheaper. And i just like a nice looking automatic watch
That shirt is amazing. Want.
How about their world timers? I think they're pretty awesome
San Martin are on a hot streak at the moment. They are producing some great looking, well made, fun watches.
Unless I'm mistaken, the SN0118 Mint Choc Chip Diver is offering a 1% discount for the sale. What should I do with all my savings?
That red one is the bomb
Bought the sno118 orange dial blue strap this morning for £156 which I think is an absolute bargain.
These are pretty much all terrific. Great video
We have the same taste in ice cream. 😂
It is so hard to resist buying another SM🤣
It's odd that I still only have one San Martin but now 7 Sugess/Seesterns. Still, there's a couple I do want. :)
Can we talk about time accuracy of these sam martin automatics? long term.
i wonder if san martin will ever make watches w/ thickness of 10 or less mm?
Wow. San Martin has come a long way since they were putting out just Sub Homages. I’m hoping to see that shorter on the fly clasp on a certain new Microbrand that I like. 😉I’m off to convince my wife why this June Sale is the real sale, and why I need to buy another watch…
Nice plug.
We here in USA don’t typically decide on watch logos. Since we make the world’s crappiest Cars??
Ya that’s not a criteria 99% of pop ever heard of.😂😂
Would've gone for the "Tudor", but the lume is C3 and the greenish hue doesn't suit the watch.
They are selling a lot of the SN0129, bought mine on the 5/6, and it still hasn't shipped.
I got the 128 for just 162€! So hyped.
I like the AVACADO San Martin the best .
Love me a good San Martin. They really need to shorten that adjustable clasp though. It’s WAY too long. It’s longer than the watch heads are and looks really out of place.
That last San Martin has too wide of a bezel IMO. A thinner bezel with a larger dial would've been better like the Evo9 GSs, but I suppose that costs more money to develop
thanks boss,, watching such videos made me understand what type of watch i like
I'm curious who you're rooting for in tonight's Australia-Scotland match in T20 World Cup.
I would still pick Sugess's homage to the La Mans daytona.
The logo and the high price.
That's funny. I already have that 129 in my cart.
And great ministry shirt!
I agree with you on the brown waffle dialed timepiece, I can't wait for mine to arrive, I'll be silly walking around the room when it does.
Any links or sales on the SN0121T? (The pelagos titanium homage)
Isn’t it crazy how polish and Polish are spelled the same, but it’s all about the context in which they’re used that we all just know the difference?
Kinda off topic but nasa recently announced a new time zone for the moon, have you ever wonder what will be the watch for a moon will be? Imagine the dial with arabic numeral have to accomodate a 1 moon day or 29.5 earths day? Seems like it will be easier with digital quartz? Will it just be moonphase? Will some watch company eventually manufacture moon time zone watches?
How is it that "Hello and Welcome" isn't offered as a ring tone on my iPhone????
6:59 But the sterile caseback also makes any of these a good graduation watch, because you can inscribe it.
Graduation watches?1! Very cheap and tacky.
Green GMT looks like a Mido Ocean Star
Just picked up the citizen np 4030 58 e in black and silver £73 don't know anything about it other than it's a JDM MODEL
Jody. Please change your name from:
Just one more watch, to…..
Just one more T-Shirt.
do san martin sell the straight end otf milanese seperate?
Great choices. Likewise, I love the look of the Tudor homage and the red dial SN0129.
These stunners tempt me more than any Aussie microbrands
Lol SM make his watches anyway.
По дизайну всё хорошо, но механизм требует замены.
Most nh snowflake hands are to small 🤷 mod or ali or etc maybe it's a Seiko problem
Those colours ...
🤮
