The Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 is praised for its wearability due to its thinness, making it comfortable even on smaller wrists. Owners report the bronze is patinating less than anticipated, even with ocean exposure. The 42mm case size elicits mixed reactions, with one owner finding it large while another appreciates it for opening up more watch options. One owner found the Glycine Combat Sub 42mm automatic dive watch to be a good value at $300. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 well for its comfortable wearability and perceived value.
Owners widely praise the Squale Master's outstanding quality and value, with one owner considering it the best dive watch at its price point. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the vintage dial and orange minute hand for excellent legibility, and the high-quality mesh bracelet is also a noted strength. A reviewer points out the Sellita SW 200-1 elaboré movement has an accuracy of ±7 to ±20 seconds per day, and the 17mm thickness and substantial 42mm size are noted as significant, though the reviewer found the stealthy, dressed-down design grew on them. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Master highly for its exceptional build quality and legibility at its price point.
