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

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub for its exceptional thinness, with sources noting case thicknesses around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, perfect proportions, and a refined aesthetic that avoids homage designs. Many highlight its significant value, especially at discounted prices, and its solid build quality. Some owners report an inconsistent power reserve and sub-par lume that can be difficult to read at night, while one owner noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its blend of wearability and value.

From video reviewers

The Glycine Combat Sub offers good value at its price point, with reviewers highlighting its attractive design and comfortable wear. However, multiple reviewers noted areas where cost-saving measures are apparent in the build quality.
