Reviews

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

Erebus Watches Ascent 40 GMT

Owners widely praise the Erebus Watches Ascent 40 GMT for its stunning dial, excellent lume, and comfortable wearability, with the bracelet's micro-adjustable clasp and well-finished screws receiving specific commendation. The watch is considered a great value, with many noting its attractive price point for the features offered, including a true GMT complication. Some owners find the dial text too prominent and contrasty, and import duties are a significant concern for some buyers, pushing the cost higher. On balance, owners rate the Erebus Watches Ascent 40 GMT highly for its beautiful dial and strong value proposition.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT for its solid build, comfortable wearability due to its thin profile and curved lugs, and its unique, non-homage design. Reviewers and owners alike note the excellent bezel action and the value proposition. Some owners miss the heft of other models and point out that the cyclops is not as refined as on other luxury dive watches. One owner reports the movement can be regulated to under +1 second per day, while another notes inconsistent power reserve performance, not always reaching 42 hours, and sub-par lume. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT highly for its comfortable wearability and unique design at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch offers a compelling value proposition, especially when discounted. Cost-saving measures are evident in certain areas of the build.
