What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical significance and attractive dial. However, some find the 36mm case size to be a bit small, and the GMT hand can be difficult to distinguish from the minute hand. The watch has a very limited 3ATM water resistance. Later versions feature sapphire crystals, differing from earlier plexi models. Overall, owners value the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical appeal and dial design, despite minor legibility and sizing concerns.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial colors are praised. The value proposition is tied to a sale price, with questions about long-term competitiveness.

Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT

Owners widely praise the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT for its great finishing, fun and original designs, and nice dials. One owner notes the GMT's flyer function and unique inner bezel, while another reports their Trafford's domed crystal cracked after a short drop. Owners describe the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT as having a "cool funky original vibe" and a "chonky boi vibe on the wrist but in a good way," with one wearer reporting daily use for a year without the watch stopping. On balance, owners rate the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT highly for its distinctive aesthetic and robust daily performance.

From video reviewers

The Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT's unique GMT function offers an alternative way to use the feature. The micro-adjust system on the bracelet is a convenient feature for fine-tuning the fit. The watch lacks specific details on its performance, accuracy, or movement caliber, making it difficult to compare it to other GMT watches.
