Reviews

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

Eza 1972 Diver

Owners widely praise the Eza 1972 Diver for its faithful vintage design and excellent value, with one owner noting it surpasses other watches in bezel action, crown comfort, thinness, and packaging, all at a significantly lower price. The watch is noted for its thin 39.6mm case and impressive accuracy, running at nearly 0 seconds per day. Some find the bezel action a bit stiff. Overall, owners rate the Eza 1972 Diver highly for its vintage aesthetic and exceptional value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its mix of brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The price point of $995 USD is a point of contention, with one reviewer suggesting it may be high compared to competitors.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its thinness, with various sources citing measurements between 10.4mm and 10.8mm, and its comfortable wearability due to contoured lugs that make it feel smaller than its 39mm case size. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its value, with some considering it the best dive watch under $400 and noting its refined finishing and smooth winding action. However, opinions are mixed on its design, with some finding it unique and others plain or questioning its homage status. Lume quality is a point of contention, with some finding it subpar and hard to read at night, while others describe it as marginally better than a Seiko SKX007. Some owners have also reported inconsistent power reserve or stem issues. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its exceptional thinness and value proposition at the price point.
