The Glycine Men's Airman SST GMT 43mm Automatic Watch GL0309 is widely praised as an excellent value for a Swiss automatic GMT watch. Owners highlight its design, referencing the brand's hometown of Bienne, Switzerland, and its cool re-release from the 1970s. Its historical significance as an early dual time zone watch, predating the Rolex GMT Master and popular with Vietnam veterans and early astronauts, is also noted. One airline pilot considers the Glycine Airman SST GMT 43mm their daily wear and the best pilot watch ever made. The dial's two black shades represent AM and PM, with the hour hand at 6 o'clock signifying noon.

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver's Watch for its exceptional finishing, comparable to Grand Seiko, and refined design, with particular appreciation for its case shape and the 4:00 crown position. The watch is noted for its enjoyable look and feel, and some consider it a significant step up from standard Prospex models, offering premium finishing and a tool-like appearance. The movement Seiko 8L45 is mentioned, along with a 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy of -5/+10 seconds per day. However, some find the price point high, and one reviewer noted the unsigned winding crown as a missed opportunity for a watch in this price range. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver's Watch highly for its exceptional finishing and refined design at its price point.
