Reviews

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

Geckota Phalanx

Owners widely report good fit and finish on the Geckota Phalanx, with quality straps and nice design details. Some owners debate the value proposition for the ETA 2824-2 movement at the original price, though quality is not a concern. One reviewer found the flat crystal and bezel, mismatched lume pip, and uninspiring lume quality detracted from its appeal. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Phalanx highly for its build quality and value, particularly when found on sale.

From video reviewers

The Phalanx pairs a proven ETA 2824-2 movement with robust military-grade durability, enduring rigorous stress testing and field conditions without compromise. Its matte finish and tactical aesthetic deliver premium perceived quality at a competitive price point for a 300m dive watch with Mil-Spec credentials.

Glycine Combat Sub

Owners widely praise the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0087 for its value, with prices ranging from $300 to $500, and its wearability on smaller wrists due to its 42mm case, thin 10.4mm to 10.5mm profile, and sharply downturned lugs. The watch's lume is noted as being longer-lasting than a Seiko SKX007's, though visibility after 15 minutes is debated, and one owner observed slight underapplication on the 6 o'clock marker. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0087 highly for its exceptional value and comfortable wearability.
