Reviews

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

Benrus Watches TYPE 2 MIL Spec

The Benrus TYPE 2 MIL SPEC is widely praised for its robust build and faithful vintage military design, featuring a legible matte black dial with Arabic numerals and a 24-hour scale, housed in a 39.5mm sandblasted stainless steel case. Owners describe it as exceptionally durable and a capable tool watch with comfortable wearability. The watch utilizes an ETA 2892 automatic movement and offers 365 meters of water resistance. Some reviewers note that the lume is not exceptionally bright and the strap hardware's finish may clash with the sandblasted case, while one owner found the $1495 price high. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Benrus TYPE 2 MIL SPEC highly for its authentic milspec aesthetic and durable construction.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 39mm Automatic Watch for its solid build, clean design, and Swiss origin, with many finding it a great value, especially at prices around $350. The 39mm case size is frequently highlighted as a positive, though some owners feel it is better suited for smaller wrists or regret not getting this size. Accuracy is reported around +3 seconds per day, and the bezel action is noted as having a satisfying click. One owner considers the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 39mm Automatic Watch an underrated option, with its thin case and 300m water resistance contributing to its appeal. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 39mm Automatic Watch highly for its value and wearability at the price point.
