What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Sinn 836

Owners widely report the Sinn 836's 43mm case is large, though its thinness is noted as a mitigating factor for wearability. Legibility is described as uniform across the dial. On balance, owners find the Sinn 836 to be a well-regarded watch for its legibility and comfortable thin profile, though some note its substantial diameter.

From video reviewers

The Sinn 836's TEGIMENT Technology steel case offers high-quality level and scratch-resistance. The watch's operation is also appreciated, with one reviewer noting it's "especially nice" with the ETA 2892-A2 caliber movement. A notable trade-off is the lack of specific details about the watch's performance or features beyond its basics.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its exceptional value, thin profile, and solid build quality, often noting its finishing and wearability as superior for its price point. Reviewers consistently flag its slim case, with measurements around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, and appreciate its non-homage design and comfortable lug curvature. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting only 2 seconds per day loss, while another notes their Sellita SW200 movement runs at +6 to +9 seconds per day. Some owners report inconsistent power reserve not reaching the advertised 42 hours and find the lume sub-par for nighttime legibility. A few also mention sharp bracelet edges and a potentially short bracelet for larger wrists, and one owner dislikes the "COMBAT" text on the dial. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its impressive thinness and value as a Swiss automatic diver.
