Reviews

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

Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze

The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze is widely praised for its exceptional value, thin profile, and unique aesthetic, with owners appreciating its comfortable wearability and developing patina. Many owners highlight the watch's slim case, often noted as around 10.4mm to 10.5mm, which allows it to fit easily under shirt cuffs. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported to be accurate, with one owner regulating it to approximately +1.9 seconds per day. Lume is generally considered strong, though one source notes it as subpar compared to other features. Criticisms include a non-bronze buckle, a desire for ceramic bezel inserts from some users, and inconsistent power reserve for one owner. On balance, owners and the community rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze highly for its impressive value and comfortable, thin design.

Squale Master

Owners widely praise the Squale Master's outstanding quality and value, with one owner considering it the best dive watch at its price point. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the vintage dial and orange minute hand for excellent legibility, and the high-quality mesh bracelet is also a noted strength. A reviewer points out the Sellita SW 200-1 elaboré movement has an accuracy of ±7 to ±20 seconds per day, and the 17mm thickness and substantial 42mm size are noted as significant, though the reviewer found the stealthy, dressed-down design grew on them. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Master highly for its exceptional build quality and legibility at its price point.
