Reviews

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 sources noting case thicknesses around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, perfect proportions, and a refined aesthetic that avoids homage designs. Many highlight its significant value, especially at discounted prices, and its solid build quality. 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 blend of wearability and value.

From video reviewers

The Glycine Combat Sub offers good value at its price point, with reviewers highlighting its attractive design and comfortable wear. However, multiple reviewers noted areas where cost-saving measures are apparent in the build quality.

Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin

The Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin is praised as a hardcore titanium diver with a sandwich dial for maximum lume and an orange minute hand for legibility. Owners note its 1200m water resistance and around 1600 CHF price point. The 42mm case has a 16mm thickness and 49mm lug-to-lug measurement, which one owner finds chunky and less suited for desk divers, though another calls it stunning on a Master bracelet with an on-the-fly adjustment clasp. One owner considers the included strap to be poor. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin highly for its robust dive watch features and value at its price point.
