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

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub for its exceptional thinness, with many noting its 10.4mm to 10.8mm profile for a diver, perfect proportions, and solid build quality that offers significant value, especially at discounted prices. Its unique aesthetic is appreciated for avoiding homage looks, and the lug design contributes to a smaller perceived wear size despite its 42mm case. Some owners report an inconsistent power reserve and sub-par lume that can be difficult to read at night, while one owner noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its refined feel, slim profile, and value proposition.

Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic

Owners find the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic a good size for smaller wrists, though one owner notes the lume is too diffuse for easy nighttime reading. The pilot-style crown is an unusual feature for a dive watch. Overall, owners value the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic for its wearability on smaller wrists.

From video reviewers

The coral red dial is a unique aesthetic. The watch is a strong contender for best-in-class under $300.
