Reviews

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 thinness, with various sources citing measurements between 10.4mm and 10.8mm, and its comfortable wearability due to contoured lugs that make it feel smaller than its 39mm case size. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its value, with some considering it the best dive watch under $400 and noting its refined finishing and smooth winding action. However, opinions are mixed on its design, with some finding it unique and others plain or questioning its homage status. Lume quality is a point of contention, with some finding it subpar and hard to read at night, while others describe it as marginally better than a Seiko SKX007. Some owners have also reported inconsistent power reserve or stem issues. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its exceptional thinness and value proposition at the price point.

Squale Super-Squale

Owners widely praise the Squale Super-Squale for its comfortable 38mm case, vintage skin diver aesthetic, and outstanding build quality for the price, with many highlighting the beads-of-rice bracelet as a standout feature and finding it a great value "go anywhere, do anything" watch. Some owners note the stock strap is not ideal and consider alternative strap options, while one enthusiast finds the 38mm case with 18mm lug width wears small. Accuracy of the Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported as ±7–20 seconds per day, which is considered not impressive by today's standards, though adequate for reliability and serviceability. Overall, owners rate the Squale Super-Squale highly for its vintage charm, comfortable wearability, and excellent value.
