Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Glycine Unisex Airman No. 1 Purist 36mm Automatic Watch GL0371 for its historical significance, unique offering in the market, and faithfulness to the original design, with one owner calling it a "watch-related impulse buy" for under $500. Reviewers note the 36mm case, while true to the original, may wear smaller than expected on larger wrists, and some owners find the dark Arabic numerals difficult to read in low light. The crown is criticized by some as too small for easy adjustment or winding due to its close proximity to the locking crown. The domed plexiglass crystal, matte dial with serif font, creamy lume, and the bezel mechanism are highlighted as positive attributes. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Glycine Unisex Airman No. 1 Purist 36mm Automatic Watch GL0371 for its vintage charm and historical accuracy, despite some minor usability and legibility concerns.
Owners widely praise the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 for its value and quality, with some calling it superior in finishing, thinness, and movement feel compared to other automatic dive watches under $400.

However, some owners report issues with dial alignment, and dissatisfaction with the original strap or bracelet clasp is a recurring point. Concerns about bronze rot from seawater exposure and strap pairing difficulties are also mentioned by one owner.
