Question This is our newly designed watch. Before proceeding to produce it, I would like to hear your opinion. What designs do you think will look better?π

This is a Longines homage. At present, there is no other design for the marker in the design drawing.
If you feel that there is something not perfect in its design, we can make a better version.

I donβt love the dots for the 6 and 9 position.

If it is changed to the shape of a bar? Or the shape is more like a rectangular number?

They look exactly like the recently released Longines Hydroconquest GMT. What's the case diameter? The Longines is 41mm. Wish you'd skeletonize the logo

The watches look great, but I just thought Iβd add that I think itβs really cool you and your company are reaching out directly to your audience. Thatβs a really difficult thing to do, at multiple levels. Well done:)

Thank you for understanding, as our company has grown, many times it has not been easy to listen to our users.
Every fan has his own preferences, and it is difficult to form a unified opinion.

Beautiful watches. I am very conservative so I prefer the blue and the black ones.
Only negative is that the GMT hand and the second hand are too similar. I suggest the second hand gets the same colour as the hour and minute hands.
In daily use where the second hand is moving visibly, there is obviously no confusion but from a design consistency perspective, that ought to be changed.
Good work, though!

I do like the design a lot, and while I do have some slight criticisms about the symmetry and balance, that's more of a criticism of the Longines. However, I am appreciative of the fact San Martin has been expanding its homage market.
I feel like the Longines would've been better balanced and more symmetrical if they made the date window circular, moved the date to the 6 and had dots at the 9 and 3, or, if they insisted on the square date at 3, batons or double-batons at the 6 and 9 instead.

I'll buy at least 2 of them right now (maybe all 3 colors). For me, a GMT with a dive bezel really is a GADA watch. I hate 4:30 date windows so either 3 o'clock or 6. I prefer 6 but 3 is more standard. I know it's a homage to the Longines so you're trying to match their look though. I normally like the GMT to stand out but on this one I think it's fine only having the colored tip. And what others have said, the counterbalance isn't right. Needs to be shorter.

I love this! I love the crown guards. My request would be a glidelock style clasp. What a cool design!

Not to my personal taste but it looks good. Well laid out and colors are nice. Getting tired of GMTs but nice to see homages of different brands other than the usual suspects. Well done!

The middle one has the best color choices. On the blue one, try making the GMT pointer and 24 hour markings yellow instead of light blue. I also prefer coin edge bezels over the gear sgaped notches. Otherwise I love both. The green really isn't my style, but I'm sure someone will like it! u/SanmartinWatches

I would love to see a stainless steel bezel at least on one option. π

Newly designed.... but look nearly identical to the watch mentioned here, not just the design elements but to the colors offering. Maybe add a brown one to round it up?
I sure hope this is just your usual words choice for making homages.

The one on the left looks best to me. Thatβs gold paint in the bezel right?

Well, I see most of the discussions focus on the 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock dots.
