Cartier Santos Medium

Throughout the years, the Santos has used movements from Jlc, Frederick Piguet, Etta, and now this Santos medium features Carte's in-house 1847 Mc 184...

In luxury watches, that's a pretty low bar. [Applause] I had a hard time deciding between this medium and the large size Santos.

So here's my final closing thoughts: one year later with the Cartier Santos.

Lastly we have my Cartier Santos Medium which I regularly see posted and gets the adoration it deserves. It is a perfect size and the strap / link systems are so easy to use. This was an anniversary present and will never leave the collection.

Firstly we have the Cartier Santos Medium. This is a fantastic any occasion watch that is super comfortable and versatile especially with its quick change strap system (I also have the bracelet & calf leather that comes with the watch). The easy link system also makes it very simple to lend to my other half whenever she fancies a change.

**“Classy Daily” - Cartier Santos Medium** \- Outrageously comfortable and handsome, top 2 most versatile watches I’ve personally owned. A little dressy for athleisure or flip-flops (where aforementioned Snowflake, OP, Explorer I will still work). Where the Defy is a daily for the days you want pizzazz, the Santos is a daily for the days you want to show off a touch more taste and refinement.

After a long time saving up, incredibly proud to call this Medium Santos my first luxury watch. I’ve been obsessed with Cartier ever since I got into watches, but the Tank always felt a little too formal for my taste and not versatile enough for a first watch. In 2018 the new Santos came out and that sealed the deal.

I've had this Santos Medium since March of this year, and it hasn't come off my wrist since. It's my first and only luxury watch, and the size is fantastic and very much understated, and it's so light & thin you forget you're wearing a watch. I've also found that it's a lot more versatile than you'd think (style-wise). My only complaint, besides it being an infamous scratch magnet, is that the tan leather strap provided when you buy the watch stains *very* easily, which is a bummer coming from a brand like Cartier — especially when the cost of a new strap starts around $350.

I’m posting the SOTC as we kick off the new year. Working upwards, the first piece is the Cartier Santos Medium WSSA0010 on its leather strap (which comes in the box). This is arguably the most special watch in my collection as it was an anniversary gift from my other half.

Cartier Santos Medium : love this watch and probably by itself it's a good one daily watch. Perhaps an alternative to other GADA such as Aqua Terra or Explorer. I'm considering to buy a blue alligator strap for it to make it more formal when needed.
