Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Erebus ASCENT 40 GMT Lapis Gilt's dial, with multiple users finding it superior to alternatives and appreciating the unique helix dials and case shape. One owner notes the handset is superior to that on their San Martin Lapis Lazuli dial GMT. The watch features a Miyota 9075 automatic movement, 100m water resistance, and a 40mm case. Some commenters find the applied logo and text excessive, and one owner felt the dial was generic and the midcase gave it a large presence for its size, leading them to sell the watch. On balance, owners and the community view the Erebus ASCENT 40 GMT Lapis Gilt as a watch with good specifications and looks, though some feel it lacks originality.
The Glycine Men's Airman GMT 46mm Automatic Watch GL0060 is widely praised as an amazing-looking first automatic watch and one of the best value Swiss automatic GMTs. Owners find its overall quality, finishing, and design impressive, with particular commendation for its bracelets as the best at their price point. One owner notes the watch's historical significance as one of the first purpose-built dual time zone watches, predating the Rolex GMT Master. However, one owner reported a misaligned GMT hand, attributing this to a common issue with the movement. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Men's Airman GMT 46mm Automatic Watch GL0060 highly for its exceptional value and impressive finishing for an entry-level automatic GMT.
