Reviews

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

Cronos Water Ghost Sub Diver

Owners widely report disappointment with the bezel action, with one owner finding it a disappointing click and not a significant upgrade from cheaper alternatives. One owner dislikes the Cronos logo, describing it as cast and unfinished with poorly defined, joined letters. On balance, owners find the Cronos Water Ghost Sub Diver Polished (L6018) offers a disappointing bezel click and logo execution at its price point.

Glycine Combat Sub

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub for its slim profile, with multiple sources noting thicknesses around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, and its well-proportioned, non-homage design that wears comfortably. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its exceptional value and quality for the price, with one owner reporting accuracy rivaling COSC standards and exceptional durability. The bezel action is described as buttery smooth, and the dial features tasteful indices and crisp fonts, with one specific gold and blue variant lauded for its refined aesthetic. However, multiple sources flag the lume as sub-par and difficult to read at night, and some owners note inconsistent power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its exceptional value and slim, comfortable wearability.

From video reviewers

The slim case profile and comfortable wearability are praised. The bezel action received criticism for having slight play and a less-than-satisfying click.
