Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
Owners widely praise the Zelos Spearfish 3 for its exceptional finishing, with razor-sharp transitions and polish that exceed expectations for its price point. The 40mm case is noted for its wearability, and the bracelet is considered superb, featuring a tool-less micro-adjustment clasp that is among the best from microbrands. Some owners also highlight the beautiful and unique dials as a significant draw. One owner found the titanium case too light, though later regretted selling it. The Zelos Spearfish 3 uses the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Spearfish 3 highly for its outstanding finishing and wearability at its price point.
The La Joux Perret G100 movement is a significant strength. The bracelet's refinement is a weakness. Reviewers disagreed on the dial material, with one noting a burnt orange sunburst and another mentioning meteorite.
