Reviews

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

Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic

Owners widely praise the Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic for its excellent fit and finish, comfortable wear on the bracelet, and strong lume. The watch is noted for its great accuracy and solid build, with reviewers highlighting the Calibre 80 automatic movement. One owner finds the 13.7mm case height unnecessarily thick, while another mentions the 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic highly for its robust build and comfortable wear at its price point.

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.
