Reviews

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

Glycine Combat Sub Vintage

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.

From video reviewers

The slim 10.5mm thickness is a consensus strength. Reviewers noted the two-tone option as an aesthetic appeal. No consensus weakness was identified.

Squale Master

Owners widely praise the Squale Master's outstanding quality and value, with one owner considering it the best dive watch at its price point. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the vintage dial and orange minute hand for excellent legibility, and the high-quality mesh bracelet is also a noted strength. A reviewer points out the Sellita SW 200-1 elaboré movement has an accuracy of ±7 to ±20 seconds per day, and the 17mm thickness and substantial 42mm size are noted as significant, though the reviewer found the stealthy, dressed-down design grew on them. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Master highly for its exceptional build quality and legibility at its price point.
