What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its exceptional thinness, with multiple sources noting profiles between 10.4mm and 11mm, comfortable wearability on a variety of wrist sizes due to its proportions and contoured lugs, and its value, especially when found under $400. Some owners highlight its refined finishing and unique, non-homage design, while others appreciate its ruggedness and durability, with one noting PVD coating remained flawless after three years of heavy use. Accuracy figures range from excellent, with one owner reporting only 2 seconds lost per day, to inconsistent power reserve and occasional reported issues with the movement and stem. The lume is described as subpar by some, though one owner found it marginally better than a Seiko SKX007. Reservations are occasionally raised regarding warranty service and the use of folded end links on the bracelet.

Phoibos Wave Master GMT

The Phoibos Wave Master GMT is widely praised for its attractive design, comfortable 20mm tapering bracelet, and wearability on a 7" wrist, with owners finding it a strong value proposition at $220. Some minor finishing flaws, such as slightly crooked markers and off-center dial numbers, are noted by one owner, while accuracy averages around 5-10 seconds over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Wave Master GMT highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer noting its significant weight for a 39.5mm case diameter, but the other reviewer doesn't mention any specific weaknesses or trade-offs.
