Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

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.

San Martin Automatic Dive SN0123G

Owners widely praise the San Martin Automatic Dive SN0123G for its exceptional value, noting fantastic lume and construction for the price, with many appreciating the sandblasted steel finish and asymmetric case design as a wicked retro look. The bezel is found useful for tracking a second time zone. However, some owners find the 44mm case too large for smaller wrists. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting a loss of about 3 seconds per day. One owner noted a crooked 6 o'clock index. Overall, owners rate the San Martin Automatic Dive SN0123G highly for its impressive finishing and tool watch utility at an accessible price point.
