Thanks for the review I am bigger guy with smaller wrists and early on in my watch collecting hobby/ addiction I constantly purchased watches in which the specs were just a tad too big, they’re still wearable but as for the comfort level of a 39x48 or a 40x47 it’s proportionally just on point, makes such a big difference. Definitely has changed what pieces I purchase now. I also own a Smith’s Everest, Lorier Neptune, and a couple of newer smaller dimensioned Swiss Auto timepieces and this thing looks like a solid addition in many ways especially for the fact that it’s just simply a great bargain that you don’t have to worry about. Definitely like what San Martin is doing with their models as well as the fit & finish and overall looks. Thanks for the video, looking forward to finally grabbing a San Martin as they seem to be the best of the bunch.

Really enjoyed your review. Love to see a comparison between the SM and Smiths, when SM comes out with their 36mm. One advice about your review. Avoid bouncing the watch back and forth in front of the camera. Great job.
