Dan Henry 1972vsGlycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1972 Maverick for its cool retro style, 12-hour chronograph, sapphire crystal, and comfortable 40mm-equivalent wearability. The distinct chrono pusher clicks and the unique ability to turn off the running seconds are also noted strengths. However, the lume is not bright or evenly applied, and the alarm feature is considered poorly executed, with a quiet, short-lived alarm and a difficult-to-use pusher. One owner reported a negative customer service experience involving a dead quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1972 highly for its retro styling and value despite noted shortcomings in its lume and alarm functionality.

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport for its exceptional value as a Swiss automatic diver, highlighting its refined finishing, thin profile at around 10.4-10.8mm, and accurate movements. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability, with downward-curving lugs on the 42mm case making it wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, and its unique aesthetic is appreciated for avoiding homage designs. Some owners dislike the "COMBAT" text on the dial and find the original strap or bracelet to be lacking, though it is considered a versatile "strap monster." The lume is described as sub-par by one owner, and another noted an inconsistent power reserve. There is a design critique regarding the date window placement, with one owner calling it a significant flaw while another finds it acceptable due to its alignment with the crown.
