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 Chronograph Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport for its exceptional value as a Swiss automatic diver, highlighting its refined finishing, thin profile at around 10.4-10.8mm, and accurate movements. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability, with downward-curving lugs on the 42mm case making it wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, and its unique aesthetic is appreciated for avoiding homage designs. Some owners dislike the "COMBAT" text on the dial and find the original strap or bracelet to be lacking, though it is considered a versatile "strap monster." The lume is described as sub-par by one owner, and another noted an inconsistent power reserve. There is a design critique regarding the date window placement, with one owner calling it a significant flaw while another finds it acceptable due to its alignment with the crown.

Brew Super Metric

Owners widely praise the Brew Super Metric's unique, asymmetrical, and colorful 70s-inspired design, with many appreciating its finishing and dial details for the price. Some owners find the integrated bracelet can be a hair-puller, and the watch wears larger than its 36mm dimensions due to the square case and bracelet. The lume is noted as weak, and some find the dial graphics busy, though others love the colorful, essence-keeping 2.0 design. On balance, owners rate the Brew Super Metric highly for its distinctive style and value, with many finding it a fun and comfortable daily wearer.

From video reviewers

The Brew Super Metric's Meca-Quartz Chrono functionality is one of the best the reviewer has seen. The watch's unique design is a key part of its charm. The Seiko meca-quartz caliber contributes to its value for the price. The lume could be improved, as it's not as bright as some other watches in its class. The price may not be the cheapest option in its class.
