Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage is widely praised by owners for its perfect proportions and slim profile, with one owner noting a thinness of 10.4mm. The unique, non-homage design is a significant draw. However, some owners report sub-par lume and inconsistent power reserve. One owner of a 39mm variant also noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage highly for its wearability and distinct design at its price point.
The slim 10.5mm thickness is a consensus strength. Reviewers noted the two-tone option as an aesthetic appeal. No consensus weakness was identified.
Owners widely praise the Squale 2002 for its cool vintage aesthetic, legible dial, and the warm feel of its bakelite bezel. The mesh bracelet is noted as high quality, and one owner found the build quality outstanding for the price. However, one reviewer suggested improvements like a thinner case and better wrist balance, while another owner found larger watches like the 2002 ultimately too big for their wrist. One community member questioned the authenticity of a specific watch, suggesting it might be a "Frankinsquale" with a modified case. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Squale 2002 for its authentic dive watch character and unique vintage design at a competitive price.
