Owners widely praise the 36mm case size of the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub 36mm Automatic Watch GL0396 for its excellent wearability, with one owner noting its comfortable fit on a 6.25-inch wrist due to the 42.5mm lug-to-lug and 12mm thickness.

Some owners appreciate the dual-tone aesthetic and the 300m water resistance, viewing it as a strong value proposition.
