What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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, thin profile, and solid build quality, often noting its finishing and wearability as superior for its price point. Reviewers consistently flag its slim case, with measurements around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, and appreciate its non-homage design and comfortable lug curvature. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting only 2 seconds per day loss, while another notes their Sellita SW200 movement runs at +6 to +9 seconds per day. Some owners report inconsistent power reserve not reaching the advertised 42 hours and find the lume sub-par for nighttime legibility. A few also mention sharp bracelet edges and a potentially short bracelet for larger wrists, and one owner dislikes the "COMBAT" text on the dial. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its impressive thinness and value as a Swiss automatic diver.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition is praised for its attractive emerald green sunburst dial with gold accents and its comfortable wearability. Owners note the dial looks gorgeous in the right light, and some find it fits better than other models. The watch features a 40mm steel case, a domed sapphire crystal, and 300m water resistance, powered by the 6R55 movement with a 72-hour power reserve. However, some find the watch wears top-heavy due to its density and case design, and the bracelet clasp is criticized for stamped parts and limited micro-adjustment. The retail price of €1,700 is considered high by some, with sales recommended. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the dial's beauty and the watch's comfortable fit, despite some reservations about its weight distribution and bracelet clasp.
