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.

Unimatic Modello Due U2-C

Owners widely praise the Unimatic Modello Due U2-C for its Made in Italy construction, vintage black military dial with gilt accents, and cream Super-LumiNova lume. The 38.5mm case is noted as wearing well for some, described as "just chunky enough," while others find the lugs curve inward, making strap changes difficult, or that the flat lugs make the watch wear like a "hockey puck." One owner finds the watch's weight uncomfortable. The Unimatic Modello Due U2-C is powered by a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and offers 300m water resistance. On balance, owners appreciate the Unimatic Modello Due U2-C's distinct design and finishing, though wearability and comfort are points of contention for some.
