Glycine Combat Sub Sport BronzevsNOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport Bronze for its exceptional thinness, comfortable proportions, and finishing, with many appreciating its unique, non-homage design and the potential for a developing bronze patina. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent value below $500, noting features like a Swiss movement with hacking, sapphire crystal, 200m water resistance, and excellent bezel action. Some owners find the crown digs into the wrist, and the original strap or bracelet is frequently disliked. Lume quality and power reserve consistency are noted as areas for improvement by some. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport Bronze highly for its impressive finishing and slim profile at its price point.

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve for its unique, award-winning design and in-house craftsmanship, with one owner stating they "can't stop looking at it" and find it versatile enough to wear with "basically everything." The watch is noted for its thin case, with dimensions of 37mm case, 7.7mm thickness, and a 43.6mm lug-to-lug distance, and houses the in-house DUW 4401 movement featuring a virtually entirely in-house escapement. Some reviewers and owners find the dial appears duller silver in person than in photos, and the lack of a quick-set date can be a chore for daily wear. One reviewer noted the minute and hour hands are too close in length, and a strap was too small for their wrist. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve highly for its distinctive, playful design and impressive in-house movement at its price point.
