Christopher Ward C60 LympstonevsGlycine Combat Sub

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone's exceptionally bright and long-lasting X1 lume, which one owner notes outshines other premium dive watches. The watch features a unique forged carbon dial and two large, easy-to-use screw-down crowns for time setting and the internal compass bezel. It is powered by a COSC-certified chronometer movement and sports a PVD black finish on its 42mm case. Overall, owners highly value the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone for its standout lume and distinctive carbon dial.

The Glycine Combat Sub is widely praised for its excellent value, thin case height (ranging from 10.4mm to 10.8mm), and comfortable wearability due to downward-curving lugs, with owners noting its quality and finishing punch well above its price point. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its smooth bezel action, crisp font, and a unique aesthetic that avoids being a direct homage. However, criticisms include sub-par lume that is difficult to read in low light and an inconsistent power reserve, with some owners suggesting it may require servicing. Opinions are split on the 42mm size, with some finding it perfect and others preferring a smaller variant. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its exceptional thinness and quality finishing at its price point.
