Glycine Combat SubvsYema Diver

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.

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner noted that this manual wind Yema Diver, while featuring a cool patina, is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value, positioning it as a fun second watch rather than an investment. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment, with one owner experiencing a water ingress issue.
