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 Sub-37 Legend

Owners widely praise the Squale Sub-37 Legend's 37mm case for its balanced proportions and excellent wearability, with some noting it fits even larger wrists. Reviewers highlight its legibility with a matte black dial and vintage-toned lume, along with its functional design featuring a disciplined dial layout and a box-shaped sapphire crystal. One owner questions the value proposition within Squale's catalog, citing alternatives at comparable prices. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Squale Sub-37 Legend for its compact, vintage-inspired design and wearability.
