Glycine Combat Sub SportvsTissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary

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.

The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary is praised for its tasteful integration of anime elements onto the PRX design, featuring an engraved Grendizer bust on a sunburst blue dial with Super-Luminova, and is the first 40mm PRX to omit the date. Owners widely report huge demand, with all 1975 units selling out quickly. The packaging and watch box are described as "dope" and "insane," with one commenter stating the packing alone is "worth the buy." The watch retains the familiar 40mm case, Powermatic 80 movement with 80-hour power reserve, and integrated bracelet. Some find the Grendizer dial less appealing than the standard waffle dial, with one owner calling it "childish," while another considers it "the best PRX." The Grendizer graphic is less prominent in person than in photos, and the watch has a ghost date position. The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary retails for US$825 / CHF 795.
