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.

Tissot PR516

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PR516 for its vintage-inspired dial, robust case finishing, and the horological substance offered at its price point, with some noting its 38mm size and historical connections as highlights. The manual-wind movement is frequently cited for its 68-hour power reserve and modern technology. However, the watch's 14mm thickness and substantial lug-to-lug distance are noted as potentially making it wear large on smaller wrists. Some owners find the dial bland and the fixed bezel disappointing, while others criticize the basic stamped clasp and simplistic movement finishing visible through the display caseback. On balance, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PR516 a compelling heritage-inspired sports watch, particularly for its value and vintage motorsport aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The value proposition against competitors is a shared strength. Reviewers did not agree on the case size, with mentions of 40mm and 38mm.
