Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Glycine Combat Sub Bronze GL0517

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.

Unimatic Modello Due U2S-T-L

Owners widely praise the Unimatic Modello Due U2S-T-L for its distinctive, non-mimetic style and the upgrade to a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Reviewers note acceptable finishing for the price, highlighting the radial brushing and screw-down crown action, though some desire sharper case flank edges. The polarizing all-black dial and the 38.5mm case's tendency to wear larger than expected due to straight lugs are noted trade-offs, with one owner selling their similar model due to comfort issues on the wrist. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Unimatic Modello Due U2S-T-L for its unique design and improved movement at its price point, despite some concerns about wearability and dial legibility.
