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.

Spinnaker Piccard

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Piccard for its comfortable wear, excellent readability, and bold, vintage-inspired design that redefines dive watch aesthetics. However, some owners view the Spinnaker Piccard as a specialty novelty watch, describing it as huge and heavy with a large crystal that hinders legibility, making it an acquired taste. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Piccard to be a unique dive watch with a distinctive design, though its substantial size and crystal may not suit all wearers.
