Eza 1972 DivervsGlycine Sea Kraken

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.

The Glycine Sea Kraken is widely praised for its retro design and excellent finishing for its price point. Owners highlight its crisp dial printing, elegant stainless steel bezel, and the smooth winding feel of its Sellita SW200-1 movement, with accuracy reported between +1/+2 and +6 seconds per day, though one owner noted it could lose up to 6 seconds when very active. The 39mm case size is generally considered comfortable, though some find its 48mm lug-to-lug measurement wears larger than expected. The included leather strap is frequently criticized as being of poor quality and unsuitable for a dive watch, prompting many owners to replace it. The Glycine Sea Kraken is considered an underrated watch offering great value, especially given its limited production and superior finishing compared to other Glycine models.
