One owner finds it a great, reliable quartz daily watch for the price, though they dislike the Mercedes hands. Another owner suggests the unique yellow dial variant justifies a higher price point. The Glycine Combat Quartz 40mm Watch is considered a well-styled watch with great heritage, a solid purchase despite the brand's acquisition. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Quartz 40mm Watch highly for its quality finishing and value at the price point.
