Reviews

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

Glycine Combat Sub

Owners widely praise the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0083 for its value as an entry-level Swiss automatic, its classic design, and its wearability, with many noting it wears smaller than its 42mm size due to short lugs and a slim 10.5mm thickness. The lume is reported to last longer than a Seiko SKX007. Some owners, however, find the 42mm case size too large for smaller wrists, preferring smaller variants, while others with larger wrists find it fits well. One owner notes the lack of drilled lugs can make strap changes inconvenient. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0083 highly for its value and versatile, classic design.
