What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Glycine Airman GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman GMT's ability to track three time zones with an easy-to-read dial layout. However, some owners find the GMT hand visually similar to the minute hand, suggesting a red paint for better distinction, a sentiment echoed by reviewers who note the thin, unlumed GMT hand can be hard to read against the black dial. One owner praises the 39mm sizing and 200m water resistance of a related model, noting its good build and finishing from when Glycine was independent. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Glycine Airman GMT offers practical multi-time zone tracking, though legibility of the GMT hand is a recurring point of discussion.

Tissot PRC 100 Solar

Owners and reviewers highlight the Tissot PRC 100 Solar's value and modern, urban aesthetic, with its slim 9.2mm case and good finishing for the price. The solar movement is a key feature, offering a 14-month power reserve and rapid charging capabilities. Some owners find the dial colors a bit uninspired, and the date window placement is disliked, while the second hand's ticking is noted as a drawback compared to automatic movements. The watch's 39mm case is considered versatile, though some prefer a smaller 35-37mm size. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PRC 100 Solar a versatile daily wear, particularly for its solar technology and Swiss-made appeal at its price point.
