Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Islander Bayport Automatic Dive Watch an exceptional value proposition for the brand.

Owners rate the San Martin BB58 very highly for its build and value. Multiple owners praise the on-the-fly micro-adjust clasp as solid, functional and a standout addition, with one saying they have not seen a $1k watch that can touch it, and another calling the BB58 the superior homage to the original and "basically as close as you can get without paying Tudor prices." Owners describe it as premium rather than cheap, and one calls its quality fantastic for the price. Criticism is limited to one owner's objections to the riveted bracelet links and the logo. Overall, owners rate the San Martin BB58 as a standout value because its clasp, finishing and build punch well above its price.
