San Martin Watches for Men - NH35 Movement Automatic Dive Watch SN008GD 40mm Mens Watch 20Bar Waterproof Sapphire Crystal Luminous Mechanical Wristwatch

Great homage timepiece , excellent quality for the money . Arrived quick, bracelet is beautiful , the sapphire glass is raised which is a nice touch. I’ve been wearing it for a couple weeks now and it seems to keep great time, I’ve taken it off over night and it hasnt missed a beat. the movement is smooth , if you’re on the fence , order the watch.

Wow, where to start with this watch? First, it's an absolutely classic design as an homage to the Tudor Black Bay 58 which itself is an homage to the early Submariners. I had heard all of the glowing reviews for San Martin and purchased another model before this one, but the one I recieved looked like it was hit by a truck before it got to me. I wanted to give SM another shot and picked this model and I'm very glad that I did. Keep in mind, this is a sub $200 watch we're talking about, so everything I'm about to write should be qualified by the price point of the watch. Overall, this thing is punching well about its weight class. First, the case is a nice brushed stainless steel with a one piece screw on caseback, like an old school diver should have. It also wears very nicely on my 7" wrist. Definitely a nice all around size. This watch would be just as at home around the house as it would be out to a nice restaurant. Crystal seems to be decent quality as well, which I believe is sapphire, although it does have some reflectiveness. Slight dome to it as well. Second, the bracelet is realatively high quality. The clasp is actually machined, not stamped which I was pleasantly surprised to see. It features threaded link pins which I do appreciate. It does not have the tool-less micro adjustments like the last SA model I ordered, but it is of nice quality nonetheless. My plan with this watch was to put it on a James Bond nato strap, like a super budget version of the classic 007 Submariner. Only problem now is that this bracelet is so nice, I'm not sure I want to take it off anymore. Third, the movement is standard Seiko NH35 which means good durability and good accuracy. However, the NH35 is a movement with a date complication and this SA does not feature a date window. So there is a ghost position when you pull out the crown. Not a big deal. Movement does feature hacking and hand winding which is nice. The bezel feels pretty good. Nice tactile "clickiness". Not the best I felt, but it is good. Last, the lume on this thing is impressive. I have always held Seiko lume in very high regard, even when compared to some of my higher end watches. While this one may not be quite that good, it's not too far off either. Overall, if you are considering a Rolex/Tudor/classic diver homage piece in this price range from some of the Chinese producers, ie Steeldives, Pagani Designs, Berny, etc I would highly recommend this one, you will not regret it. If you are just looking for a decent dive watch for daily wear, I would say you are still better off with an Orient in the same price range. Overall, great purchase, very happy with the watch and looking forward to seeing how it holds up.

Beautiful craftsmanship. High quality NH35 movement. I have worn it daily for 2 weeks and is dead on accurate. Water resistant with everyday wear. Have not submerged it yet but I imagine it will do well. Great lume for a few hours after getting direct sunlight. What more could you expect. I have gotten many complements on this piece and have compared it side by side to a friend’s Tudor black bay 58. Suprisibgly it stands up. (Obviously you can tell the difference, the black bay is clearly higher quality - but also 25x the cost). Thank you for producing an excellent automatic diver that is affordable. You will not regret this purchase.

This watch looks great and feels great on the wrist. I did my homework on this San Martin so I was very aware of what this watch is (and isn’t). It looks amazing and is very comfortable to wear, the band feels great and with a thinner case, the overall feel of the fit is excellent. It’s a GREAT value, I’m about to order the black version as well. Love it.

The watch is top notch and exactly what I expected from San Martin. The downside ended up being I put the order in on July 8th and just now received it today (August 20th). The delivery date was pushed back four different times. Still, I got what I wanted, it just took longer than expected.

A GREAT LOOKING, QUALITY PIECE. FIT AND FINISH MATCH PIECES FAR ABOVE THIS PRICE POINT. SAN MARTIN IS REALLY MAKING A NAME FOR ITSELF.

Like the title says, I also own a Black Bay 58. The San Martin is a VERY close second in terms of fit and finish, and the Seiko movement is indestructible. From a normal distance, this watch is indistinguishable from a genuine Tudor. That said, it isn't pretending to be something it isn't: The dial and clasp are clearly marked as being a San Martin, which is fantastic because a San Martin is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Better fit and finish than any Seiko I've owned, and an excellent watch all around.

I had a few watches in the last years, and my expectations were quite low on this one. It appears to be really nice. I want to point out the bracelet, which is made from solid stainless steel. The clasp is also made very well, it’s not made from thin sheet metal but also solid and feels well made. In general, also the case is well made, the diver bezel has a pleasing turn action. The blue lume is good, way better than that on a similar Bulova watch. If you think the dial looks a bit boring you should have a look on other watches from this brand, they got some really nice ones on different models.

Qualidade premium!

Literalmente lo acabo de recibir y es impresionante la calidad, no me imaginé que tuviera tan bien los detalles, es un reloj homenaje y cumple, por menos de $250 usd no hay muchas opciones iguales. Veré que tal con el tiempo

La calidad de manufactura es excelente, es increíble lo que recibes por lo que pagas, es claro que hoy día la palabra "increíble" esta muy desgastada y es usada para alabar a cualquier nimiedad o baratija, pero aquí, es la indicada. Soy un tipo de 62 años que entiende de horología y al parecer la relojería suiza nos ha estado viendo la cara de estúpidos o que? Tiene materiales, elementos y acabados que se empiezan a ver en relojes Suizos a partir de los US $ 1000.00 Dls. me quede estupefacto. El movimiento es del grupo EPSON, es decir, tiene un motor Japonés hecho por SEIKO muy confiable y preciso que funciona dentro de normas, a cuatro pulsos por segundo. Adquiere alguna piza de esta marca y observa los detalles de manufactura con tiempo, paciencia y una buena lupa, te sorprenderás. No soy proclive a recomendar cosas, pero estos relojes obligan a hacerles los honores, son una excepción en el mar de productos hechos en China con una estupenda relación costo/beneficio.

Es excelente! El grosor de la caja es buenísimo, tiene bisel de cerámica, gran lume, lo único que me hubiera gustado hubiese sido que tuviera extensión el extensible.

Me gustó mucho el reloj, no vi ningún detalle en el lo sigo ocupado excelente.
