Glycine Combat SubvsSinn U2 S (EZM 5)

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.

The Sinn U2 S (EZM 5) features good, solid lume that remains readable throughout the night, though some owners find its initial brightness less intense than other dive watches. Reviewers highlight its excellent legibility due to a high-contrast dial and large hands, housed in robust German submarine steel with a scratch-resistant Tegiment-treated bezel. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Sinn U2 S (EZM 5) for its robust construction and clear dial legibility.
