Reviews

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

Benrus Watches TYPE 3X

Benrus Watches TYPE 3X owners and reviewers praise its classical styling and solid build quality, with the 42mm case noted to wear smaller due to minimal lugs. One owner finds the automatic watch comparable in cost to a basic Swatch and considers it proof of Benrus's substantial revival. The included Velcro strap is unappealing, but the rubber strap works well. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Benrus Watches TYPE 3X highly for its wearability and value.

Glycine Combat Sub Vintage

The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage is widely praised by owners for its perfect proportions and slim profile, with one owner noting a thinness of 10.4mm. The unique, non-homage design is a significant draw. However, some owners report sub-par lume and inconsistent power reserve. One owner of a 39mm variant also noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage highly for its wearability and distinct design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The slim 10.5mm thickness is a consensus strength. Reviewers noted the two-tone option as an aesthetic appeal. No consensus weakness was identified.
