Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph SportvsTissot PR 100 Vuelta

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.

The Tissot PR 100 Vuelta is widely praised as an overlooked, casual, and fun chronograph, with owners particularly appreciating its unique strap that mimics road bike handlebar tape. Some owners find it a "cracker of a watch," looking good on its steel bracelet but fantastic on the yellow and black strap, suitable for daily wear. However, one owner reports a love/hate relationship, experiencing bracelet disintegration and unreliability issues with the quartz movement stopping intermittently. The bicycle on the seconds hand is seen by some as a significant gimmick that detracts from the design and makes it less suitable as an everyday watch. Concerns about the metal band pulling hairs are noted, though a snug fit may mitigate this. On balance, owners appreciate the Tissot PR 100 Vuelta for its fun, unique aesthetic and daily wearability, despite some reservations about its reliability and design elements.
