San Martin Iceball

An outstanding watch, big, heavy, wonderful!
High quality, as usually.

The watch face is mesmerizing, with its sapphire and AR. Visibility in discerning timei s outstanding. Accuracy beats any mechanical movement because of its quartz-solar accuracy. And No battery change needed! It should last forever! The Form is classic function and elegant. Its height is prominent, because of its monblock build and 1km water resistance. This is the main accommodation you will have to make: it is one hunk of metal, beautiful but heavy. I like to wear my watches loosely, and this is a challenge with the top heavy profile of this watch. If you like to wear it tight, this is not a problem. I'm still figuring out the best watchband to use with it. The original rubber band was not soft enough. I may go for a flieger type watchband.
WR watches also gives great service, especially despite the Coronavirus causing delays in delivery. This is my first time with them, and I was a little worried that they were a scam operation. Rest assured they are not! I am looking to buy a second watch from them.
An appeal to San Martin Watches: make the solar movements more widely available in your watches! They are the bargains of the century in terms of accuracy, robustness, and lightness. I have a citizen eco drive, but it doesn't have sapphire. I have a citizen QQ smile, which is so light it's like air worn on your wrist. But this QQ has a plastic crystal, and its face visibility in dim light is just horrible. And NO luminosity. But because of its lightness and working plastic bezel, it's the best watch for athletic activities, especially with its 200 m water resistance (plastic but monoblock!) and its $25.00 cost.
Appeal to SanMartin: Make a better citizen QQ with sapphire glass and luminosity, and light plastic construction, and I will pay up to $175 for it. Hell, Raphael Nadal wears a 750,000.00 Richard Mille that is essentially plastic, but it makes sense, because it's so light, he can play tennis without it hindering his tennis. There is a real market for an affordable, light, solar athletic watch with 200 m water resistance! (Plus sapphire and working bezel and luminosity.)

the watch is really nice, excellent. both finishes and overall. best quality. it is very bright and drives regularly. I would have preferred to be able to buy together his metal bracelet and a larger and better-made box.
