The Cartier Santos and JLC Reverso are the thinking man's sports watch.

I love my Santos, the only thing that annoyed me when I first got it was how quickly the polished area scratches. However, I've grown to love the scratches and accepted them as part of the watch's character.

OMG this dialogue was in my mind!! I just started thinking about this perfect watch it ticks all the boxes !! Yet no body really rave about it 😅 I love it and I need it in my watch collection soon! Thanks for the video ❤️❤️

Cartier is so underrated, I think one day they will get more credit for being a watch brand and not a fashion brand. I got my Cartier Tank Must XL Automatic about a month ago on a leather black strap and I absolutely love it!

I just got my Santos. I have to tell you i like your review! U made it fun and not boring like others. Keep it up!

Great review! I didn’t really like the santos for a while, and now I definitely do. I’m planning on making it my next purchase. The new Fortis Marine Master M40 is seriously punching above it’s weight. The applied indices and finishing on the dial rival anything I’ve seen. The lume is absolutely incredible. I would love to see a watch gringa review on that piece! Fortis as a brand doesn’t get enough recognition and that release is definitely under rated for now. Be well!

Talked a friend out of buying a seamaster 300 in favour of a santos. Felt very proud

It’s on my list this one. I don’t need to think too hard about it. I just know I’ll love it. You rock Britt.

You guys should share the Santos Medium! I 1000000% agree with you, heck the Santos is one of my favorite watches out there right now, definitely a sleeper, but with your video, it won’t be a sleeper anymore!

I didn't know about this watch until I found this channel. Now it's my holy grail! I'm obsessed, too.😊

Hey Britt, Thank you for pinning the approx. 12,000 gauss. I’ve watch many reviews on this beautiful (in my eyes) flawless timepiece and you were the first to mention the gauss rating 👏👏👏 I’m booked in with Cartier tomorrow (Toronto Boutique) as I finally have the reddies to buy a santos - medium. I want that luxury experience Cartier will no doubt bang out to me. Awesome vid! Love the delivery as you always make it fun!

IT'S GRINGA WEDNESDAY..... ON A THURSDAY. Sorry my schedule has been GASH, friends!

My Santos Medium is my most recent piece as of now, being purchased in April 2021. It’s hands down my favourite. After wearing my divers and other sports pieces from other prestigious Swiss brands, putting the Santos on takes it to a whole different level. The slim bracelet and the way it articulates so perfectly around the wrist, the thin case and perfect mix of industrial and class aesthetic making it truly universal for situations and occasions. It’s also my most accurate piece at +1/day…and don’t get me started on the dial and those blued hands! 😍 My only gripe is that mine isn’t solid Rose Gold!…Maybe one day 😂 Especially if they did a chocolate dial!!! 🙏🤞👀. The strong anti-magnetic characteristics are also due to the incorporation of a soft iron cage around the whole movement 👌

Hey there great video, I work for Cartier in Tokyo, and this is my first Cartier and still my only Cartier watch. I wear it pretty much every day. So versatile, and like said, the wearability is amazing. I almost always wear the SS, but you prompted me to switch out for tomorrow. Originally I was leaning towards the Large size with blue dial, but really glad I went with this one. Classic, clean and just fits my wrist so much better. My friend at work was part of the reintroduction of the Santos in 2018 in Marketing in Paris, I’ll tell him tomorrow how much you were gushing over the watch. He’s truly proud of it, it genuinely makes him happy to hear people loving on it.

Tried one on at my locals AD and I agree that it is an amazing watch. The medium was a perfect fit on my 7 1/4” wrist. It goes with everything. My only real concern is that the prominent bezel is a scratch magnet.

I bought the medium Santos yesterday. It is spectacular. 8.83mm thick and pure class. I do not understand how so many other sports watches are more hyped than this, but I’m happy I got one without jumping through hoops.

I just bought a medium two tone , it’s quite literally so perfect Gringa, that I’m questioning the rest of my collection 😅😫 I know you’ll have your rose gold Santos when the passive income truly kicks in, only a matter of time! Subscribed.

Having bought a medium santos a month ago. It’s been my go to watch every time. I love it.

I own the XL 100 version in both the classic white dial and blue dial. Absolutely love these pieces. Amazing bracelet technology. The XL is only 38mm diameter, so it's not exactly extra large. With the case shape it does wear closer to a 41mm watch though. The wrist presence is perfect for me. Cheers Gringa Goddess 😃

Santos medium is dope AF y’all….dope AF.

You are brilliant keep having fun!!!

Love this watch, so underrated I just hope people stay ignorant about it until its in my collection.

Totally agree, I have a Cartier Santos Or & Acier. Medium. With it's incredible Or & Acier bracelet, so smooth. This is unique, and also when meeting people wearing Rolex or big chronographs, it shine and separate yourself from the -sheeps- crowd.

I have been thinking of the santos for a long time, but after your video I decided to pull the trigger and ordered it on Dec. 31st. Thank you for that 😊

The Santos is definitely on my Christmas list this year.. great watch, awesome video Gringa!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I want one so much and I'll get one some day! Love your blue jacket btw. Much love Britt, love your videos x

About 30 yrs ago I bought one for myself. I'm a British male and at that time I was doing well in my business etc. I loved it though I felt the bracelet always pinched the hairs on my wrist... Right now I am looking for another watch (I sold the Santos many years ago) and have found the Santos again. I don't have the money for a new one but for me the XL Chrono is just wonderful. On an alligator strap too with a rubber strap for a change up now and again. Also these watches are bullet proof. Built like a tank and will last and last.

Agree - ordered my new Large blue dial 3 weeks ago - its in - picking up soon - can't wait - underrated for sure - It will probably (well, it will be) a scratch magnet but sometimes you need to take a risk - in addition, it will be in the collection and in rotation so certainly will not be a daily - The watch is too beautiful to pass on at retail - I love the size and thinness too.

Between this and the tank Cartier is really really catching my interest. Fully agree this is going to be a must have.

Just got one last night! its amazing, best bracelet i have ever felt. Also the boutique said they got the call last week that these are going on a "massive shortage" and i got the last one they might see until after christmas.

The Santos was the watch that brought Cartier into my notice. I was impressed with the really clever bracelet design and eventually bought a 2018 one preowned in 2020. That was the entrance to the rabbit hole. Since then I have added a gold Tank Americaine, a steel Tank MC and a gold Tank Louis. Cartier is something of a preowned bargain. I have my eye on a Tank Francais but it is in Germany so I will have import taxes to contend with and that pushes the price up a touch more than I would like!

that's a nice piece! congrats to your hubby! I love mine. and the medium is great. I like your jacket gringa!

Hopefully we’ll hear back from Papi and why he did what he did. I know he has a plan for you darling.Papi love’s his Gringa ❤️👍🏼

Gringa girl, this is a beautiful piece, industry and elegance all in one, I love it, and overlooked, truly a rarity in a heated market

Nailed this one Gringa! The Santos is all about the design, juxtaposed of industrial and elegance. The watch doesn't specialize in anything. Is it a sports watch? No, there's no lume. Dress watch? It passes, but the industrial elements and sporty looks get in the way. The area it excels in is an every day wear. While not specializing in anything, it never looks out of place and always looks great.

OMG finally someone who loves the SANTOS !! i have the very first model from the 80's and my friends to it !

Can not believe this betrayal WG!!!!! That Cartier is beautiful! Great show!!!

Had my Santos XL for 11 years now and it sits nicely along side my Panerai collection and wears well with my casual dress or my slightly more smarter days,and excellent all rounder🙏😌🙏

Hey Britt, I love your channel. Some time ago, I somehow didn’t like rectangle shaped watches like the Santos or the Reverso. I don’t know how, Things have changed.maybe it’s related to the way we perceive things as being beautiful. Now I feel that I have fallen in love with the Santos. I think I’m gonna buy one soon (but only if I can afford it! :-)

Thank you. I got rid of my Tank 20 years ago and I think its time to get a Cartier again. Great vido.

This watch caught my eyes! Elegance at its finest!

Under-rated. You sold me on it. That bracelet is awesome!

Gringa what can I say except for BRILLIANT, loved 💕 this VLOG so very much, inspiring & made me think 💭 how we often overlook the classics 🙏❤️🤜. PS. BIG CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 to Watch Papi as well on the new Cartier Santos 🥳

Its a beautiful piece . I love it.

Great video. I have the large version and wear it all the time, more than my Rolex GMT "batman" which I bought back when you could walk into a Rolex dealer and walk out with a watch. I agree the Cartier Santos is a good value.

I got the large green Santos on its release at the start of June, I now find it is my favorite watch to wear and it has been complimented many times ! It really is a thing of great beauty Love all your videos

Definitely underrated... More better looking then the rolex sub and ap offshore in my opinion

Great video, highly recommend the santos to anyone sitting on the fence. I picked up my blue dial a couple of months ago and has been my go to watch since!

When I first started to pay attention to watches during the 90s my impression was that Cartier were up there with Rolex….certainly to non watch geeks. I’ve always loved them as I was gifted one by my father as my first proper watch, yet I only bought my own a couple of weeks ago…also the medium Santos in stainless steel. I might still be in the honeymoon period but right now I’m feeling it’s as close to the perfect watch as I’ve ever owned. Sure the bezel will scratch, but I always think the vintage Santos’ still look awesome all scratched up. It actually does a better job as a modern interpretation of a design classic than the Submariner imo…as much as I’m a fan of that watch too. Great video as always, thank you🙂

I’m getting the medium, despite having large wrists. The watch is just fantastic. Slim case, that cantastic bracelet. Perfect.

i literally bought the new Large Santos just for fun, after watching your video. I thought, If i don't like it.. I'll flip it for $100 more than RRP... But then i realize i love it soo much that I ended up keeping it.

It is and so is Cartier’s history and the history of this watch in particular as well as the history of Santos Dumont himself. I also think the Pasha de Cartier is quite underrated.

Lovely watch keep up the good work

This watch is perfect IMO. It's just stunning, well built and well priced. Yes the gold bezel is nice but I think papi has made the right choice with the polished steel. 😍

Yay!!! Love the Cartier content. Santos is one of my favourite watches after the Louis Cartier Tank of course

Does the bracelet technology limit you to only buying Cartier straps?

I’ll take the large, thank you! Great points…your passion has inspired others to open up to this piece, I’m sure!

the two tone yellow gold santos is just chefs kiss

Fell in love with the Santos in 1990. Quit smoking and made a deal with the devil. I buy the watch and if I start smoking again I have to give it away. I still have the watch and good health. A win/win. Under/over rated? Under all the way but that's why I love it. Go to a sales meeting and it's all Rolex except my little Santos.

I just bought a medium Santos too. Love it!

The santos In stainless steel is an absolute gem. It looks great and what a cool history behind it too

Bought a Large Santos with Blue dial and applied numerals... I cant stop looking at it... Thanks Britt P! I love the review!

Love the watch. I own the middle size too. It is stunning and an exciting watch. Omg I love it so much.

Just got mine! Ecstatic 🥳

I think it looks great on your wrist. I picked up the Santos Dumont Le 14 bis. I'm not generally a two-tone fan but looks great on this one with the sunburst anthracite dial.

Absolutly beautiful. I've tried it on, I love small sizes ( I'm fond of 36mm +_). Been eyeballing it for quit awhile. Great review! :)

love the Santos, great vid Gringa. love you too

Just got mine in Two Tone Large agreed the most under rated watch out there. It’s absolutely amazing! Plus the extra strap and the Authorized Dealer gave me an extra blue strap for free! Bonanza! Get it while it lasts!

Such a coincidence that i am looking at mid size Cartier Santos since late October and finding it simple yet classy. Now searching for one in the grey market for good bargain.

I do love this watch and I only purchased it a few days ago. Although the biggest downside to it is the accuracy of the movement. I've been getting around +12 seconds a day so far which is quite high for the cost of the watch imo.

It is one of the coolest watches ever!! Those screws on the bezel and bracelet!!! I just purchased a 2005 29mm Santos Galbee with a guilloche dial and im completely obsessed with it! Maybe you should look into the 29mm, would fit you perfectly!

I don't like romans as a rule, but this video has me reconsidering if I'm honest. You're just wearing so much history and yes it does look so good notwithstanding the romans that I could probably look past it.

I have the same watch! I love it 🥰

I’m planning to get the two tone steel/gold model this month for my 50th birthday!

Great video and nice watch! If I got dressed up more for outings or work it would definitely be on the short list!

don't know if people will ever wake up, atleast it'll propobly not get "hype" concidering it's been around literally forever and still hasn't popped. it's been relevant for 112 years tho🙏🏼 and that's just absolutely amazing

The perfect choice for a "one watch collection", I will go for the mixed yellow gold and steel in size large (18 cm of wrist).

Yeah first time I saw this watch I lost my mind!!! I couldn't sleep at night from thinking about the santos. Next thing I know I was at mayors getting my large two tone. 🔥 sexiest watch I've seen in a long time.

Its bloody fabulous...period! I want it!

I love that watch. I just wish it had the same bezel design as the small. There would have been less surface area for scratches and it wouldn’t be as blingy.

Fully agree. Incredible watch for the money and a great, one watch option.

I think you have one of the best rates like vs unlike in HISTORY. How could anybody ever put unlike on you? My god 😂

Not gonna change your mind. Santos is one of THE great watches and it's been my grail for some time. It's the kind of watch that makes you think about why you love watches. In function and form I have what I consider a perfect 3 watch collection - Black Bay 58 blue, Longines Big Eye chronograph and Grand Seiko SBGA373. Love them. I don't NEED a Santos and yet I do. You know what I mean :)

Hey Brittney, big fan of your channel! I’m strongly considering buying this watch but haven’t been able to try one on (due to being in lockdown) and my wrist size is only 150mm. My worry is that after all the removable links are removed it will still be too big for my wrist. After having this watch in hand would you know if it would fit a wrist that small with all the links removed? Ps keep up the good work! And what is that watch you are wearing in this vid??

Just a matter of time before I get one (no pun intended) Nearly picked one up in Barbados a few months back. Tried it on loved it. Medium size perfect.

Just ordered one from Tourneau. Happiness arrives tomorrow! Got the medium steel. Never tried one on, so sight unseen. Good thing they have a 14 day return policy. Doubt if I’ll need it. Just discovered your channel. Subscribed. Tell hubby to share!

Beautiful watch.

The biggest tragedy for this watch unfortunately is it seems the rappers have been ruining this one with diamonds too

Beautiful watch

Not sure if this had happened yet.. but watch Papi has an absolute layup for a Christmas present. Add the hers to his and hers. Game over.

People in the last 6 months seem to be talking about this one a lot more. Definitely a candidate for being the next hot one. I just wish you could get the blue dial and the applied markers on the smaller sized ones. That makes me sad. "for the Lord forsaketh his brethren with small wrists"

100% agreed ! medium size Gold & stainless steel

Nice video!Have you thought about making a video of your jewelry collection?

Great choice! I love my medium Santos! Definitely underrated!!!

Wow real watch review🤩

Great vid

I need a Santos in my life! Sooon baby 😁 Such a great combobmaker 😍

Lady Britt, I just discovered your channel and what an amazing channel it is. The release of this video was on my birthday 2021 as it shows. Fantastic video on a fantastic watch I would like to add a few things. Cartier was created in 1847. It has a history of jewelry by a gentleman with a vision. The first wristwatch was created in 1904 one year before a young German gentleman would introduce the Rolex. Whereas to Rolex was fully marketed to high achievers, and this was the principle, vision and direction of the creator, to which marketing was primary and very important to this day. Cartier, on the other hand created art, they created design. They were the masters of it, with a accomplished was jewelry pieces and time pieces with rich history, rich, romance, and rich soul. When you learn of the history of each individual product, it becomes part of you. It becomes part of your identity. That is the magic of Cartier. I worked at Cartier for about a year in 1988 I when I first came to see the Santos watch, it was a Breathless. The design was like no other. It was created at a time where the industrial revolution in the US was going on so whenever you see the screws on the watch design and on the band, there’s an instant connection to the industrialist and your soul. Everywhere in the world, the representation of a fastener, the screw used in time pieces and jewelry was genius. The shape of the actual design was unlike anything else at the time. Such an amazing, classic timeless horological legend. Cartier would then later on go on to add the love bracelet to its product line, which complimented the time pieces. Created by an Italian designer who broke up with his partner, this fantastic simplistic bracelet, which so happen to have screws also. Tiffany turned him down, Cartier saw the value. It instantly became another classic along with the watch. So many times when you see a lady with a Cartier time piece, chances are she has a love bracelet on the other wrist. Perhaps you have one Britt? 😊 The Cartier Santos edges out other luxury brands, such as Rolex, because it was created out of the need of a pilot, friend, and with the ultimate and design, thinking since 1847 produced this magnificent creation. It has romance, it has history, and you’ll never get tired of looking at it. Just a few thoughts. Great, great KZfaq channel, I applaud you, Lady Britt.

Love me a Cartier Santos, or Tank for that matter. But can never get over the fact that if I were ever to plop down the cash on an Art Deco inspired piece, I'd take a JLC Reverso first. Just can't beat the history and design. Indeed that was Mrs Leano's thoughts too, got her a Two tone Reverso Duo on beads of rice bracelet a couple of years ago for 25th anniversary, and it is KILLER.

Great video gringa, just got the Santos blue dial, very happy with it, and my wife got a Tank Francaise haha all best from Mexico City, un beso mi gringa guapa!
