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.

Squale 1545

Owners widely praise the Squale 1545 for its solid build quality, attractive appearance, and excellent value, with many highlighting its impressive tuxedo black lacquer dial and exceptionally bright lume. Some owners note the clasp as a point of dissatisfaction, a common issue across various price points, and one reviewer points out minor flaws on the steel bracelet including soft end links and a clasp that scratches the bracelet. The Squale 1545 is considered a reliable and versatile everyday watch with historical design precedent. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Squale 1545 highly for its impressive finishing and value at its price point.
