Owners widely praise the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0325 for its solid build quality, comfortable wearability, and excellent value, with some calling it criminally underrated. The bronze case is noted for its attractive patination, which one owner found developed less than expected even with ocean exposure. The watch's lume is reported to last longer than that of a Seiko SKX007, though the latter's hour markers were more visible after 15 minutes. One owner reported their automatic movement is among their most accurate watches. The 42mm case size is generally considered handsome and well-weighted, though one owner found it felt large on their wrist. A minor imperfection was noted with slightly underapplied lume on the 6 o'clock hour marker, but the dial was otherwise described as perfect. The watch is available at prices ranging from $300 to over $1000 depending on the retailer.
