Glycine Airman Bronze GMTvsLum-Tec Combat Field

The Glycine Airman Bronze GMT is praised by some owners for its 39mm size and 200m water resistance, with one owner finding it a well-built and finished modern take on the original. However, one owner criticized the main 12-hour hand on the 24-hour dial, stating it made the watch difficult to use and broke the original bezel function, leading to a return. Overall, owners are split on the utility of the Glycine Airman Bronze GMT's 12-hour hand on its 24-hour dial.

Owners widely praise the Lum-Tec Combat Field for its rugged build and excellent lume, with one owner highlighting the bronze case and California dial as special features. The DLC coating is considered durable, and the PVD finish offers a "pure sport" blacked-out aesthetic. Some owners appreciate the modern look and design elements like skeleton hands and a 9 o'clock crown, noting that the 43mm case wears smaller than its dimensions suggest. One owner experienced an issue with a chronograph second hand not aligning correctly, a common quartz chronograph problem. On balance, owners rate the Lum-Tec Combat Field highly for its robust construction and distinctive design elements.
