Glycine Men's Combat Sub 46mm Automatic Watch GL0279

The Glycine Men's Combat Sub 46mm Automatic Watch GL0279 is noted as a large watch with significant wrist presence, though some owners find it thinner and lower profile than other large dive watches. One owner describes it as a solid weekend beater and loves its design and wearability. The watch is considered a great entry-level Swiss Made diver with exceptional value, though sourcing a bracelet can be difficult. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 46mm Automatic Watch GL0279 highly for its value and substantial wrist presence.

Glycine Combat Sub Vintage

The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage is widely praised by owners for its perfect proportions and slim profile, with one owner noting a thinness of 10.4mm. The unique, non-homage design is a significant draw. However, some owners report sub-par lume and inconsistent power reserve. One owner of a 39mm variant also noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage highly for its wearability and distinct design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The slim 10.5mm thickness is a consensus strength. Reviewers noted the two-tone option as an aesthetic appeal. No consensus weakness was identified.
