Furlan Marri MechaquartzvsGlycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport

Owners widely praise Furlan Marri for its vintage-inspired 38mm case, excellent finishing, and captivating dial details, with one reviewer calling it an unexpected favorite and a top purchase of the year. The Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement is generally seen as reliable when competently assembled, though some owners find the price steep for a quartz watch. The brand's manufacturing origins are a point of discussion, with some seeking more transparency while others find the brand clear about its Swiss-made and non-Swiss models. Overall, owners rate Furlan Marri highly for its hand-made enamel dial and finishing at the price.

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport for its exceptional value as a Swiss automatic diver, highlighting its refined finishing, thin profile at around 10.4-10.8mm, and accurate movements. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability, with downward-curving lugs on the 42mm case making it wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, and its unique aesthetic is appreciated for avoiding homage designs. Some owners dislike the "COMBAT" text on the dial and find the original strap or bracelet to be lacking, though it is considered a versatile "strap monster." The lume is described as sub-par by one owner, and another noted an inconsistent power reserve. There is a design critique regarding the date window placement, with one owner calling it a significant flaw while another finds it acceptable due to its alignment with the crown.
