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. The watch is noted for its unique bronze aesthetic and is considered a compelling alternative to more expensive divers, with one owner finding it "very beauty" and in excellent condition for the price. 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. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 highly for its aesthetic appeal and perceived quality at its price point.
The TSAO Baltimore Bronze Torsk-Diver Pro Polar White is widely praised for its excellent lume and attractive 3-D dial appearance, with owners also noting its awesome overall look and excellent accuracy. Reviewers highlight its good value for the $900 price point. Some owners find the crown to be small, and one reviewer described the bezel tension as somewhat tight. The watch features a lumed sapphire bezel insert and wears well for its 43mm size due to its arcing case profile and 13.6mm thickness. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the TSAO Baltimore Bronze Torsk-Diver Pro Polar White highly for its strong value and appealing aesthetics.
