Aquastar Benthos Heritage One Blue EditionvsGlycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic

Owners widely praise the Aquastar Benthos Heritage One Blue Edition for its excellent lume on the bezel and dial, and its wearable 42mm cushion case with a sunburst finish. Reviewers note its fun, well-specced dive watch nature and great value, powered by a Sellita SW200-1 movement. Some owners describe it as a lovely, very chunky diver's watch. One owner rates the watch 90-95% due to minor hairline marks on the polished case back. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Aquastar Benthos Heritage One Blue Edition highly for its strong lume and value proposition.

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic for its exceptional thinness, comfortable 41mm case, and unique, non-homage design, with one owner calling it the best dive watch under $400 due to superior finishing and value. The bezel action is described as solid and precise, and the dial is legible with good lume on the hands. However, multiple sources flag inconsistent power reserve, sub-par lume on the markers that fades quickly, and a subpar stock strap or bracelet. One owner reported the bezel detaching after a light bump, raising questions about build quality, while others note potential issues with the stem or anti-reflective coating. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner seeing it run about 2.5 seconds fast per day. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic highly for its comfortable thin case and unique design at its price point.
