For the $$ these watches are pretty good.

I have two San Martin watches. One looks like a Black Bay gilt diver, and the other has applied Arabic numerals on an MOP dial (my only bronze watch—and shockingly high quality).

San Martin makes very good watches for the money, but they mostly look like other watches. I think they are a great choice for $250, but if Seiko started using sapphire instead of hardlex, and especially if Seiko actually spent an extra $5 per watch on the bracelet, all the Aliaexpress brands would fade away. They exist because Seiko abandoned the sun-$500 market. I always wonder what idiot Seiko executive thinks saving $10 by using hardlex makes any sense.

Crown and movement operation are FAR superior feeling on the Tudor. The NH34 isnt bad but the Tudor just felt great to operation and it was very tactile.

The SanMartin fit/finish is on par IMO. I do enjoy the brushed sides and it holds up to abuse longer without showing the wear. The slimmer case and shorter lug to lug fit me better too! The bezel action I actually prefer on this watch too. The Tudor's was fine but harder to grip and was overly notchy if that makes sense? I also like the blue lume on the sanmartin vs the green on the Tudor.
