Glycine Combat Sub SportvsLimes Endurance II

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its exceptional value, often found under $400, its solid build with brushed finishing, and its notably thin case profile, with many sources citing dimensions around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, making it comfortable and wearable. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its unique, non-homage aesthetic and excellent timekeeping, with some reporting accuracy within +1/+2 seconds per day, though one owner noted their Sellita SW200 movement ran at approximately +6 to +9 seconds per day. Some owners dislike the "COMBAT" text on the dial and find the lume sub-par, while others note inconsistent power reserve not always reaching the advertised 42 hours. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its outstanding value and comfortable, thin wearability.

The Limes Endurance II is lauded for its robust, legible tool watch design with excellent build quality from Ickler and a satisfyingly mechanical winding feel. Owners appreciate the comfortable five-link bracelet and the raw tool character, with one noting a pre-owned purchase below retail due to brand obscurity. Criticisms include a stamped clasp that doesn't match the case's quality and a desire for a ceramic bezel option. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Limes Endurance II highly for its rugged, purposeful design and solid build at its price point.
