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

The Glycine Combat Sub is widely praised for its exceptional thinness, with multiple sources highlighting its sub-11mm case height and comfortable wearability, even on smaller wrists. Owners appreciate its unique, non-homage aesthetic, refined finishing, and excellent value for money. Specific positive notes include a buttery smooth bezel action, tasteful indices, crisp font, and a matching date wheel. Accuracy is reported to rival COSC standards by one owner, and durability is noted as exceptional. However, some owners report inconsistent power reserve and sub-par lume that is difficult to read in low light. On balance, owners and community members rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its slim profile and unique design at an accessible price point.

From video reviewers

The slim case profile and comfortable wearability are praised. The bezel action received criticism for having slight play and a less-than-satisfying click.

Pagani Design PD-1731

Pagani Design PD-1731 owners praise its simple, neutral dial that pairs well with various straps and bracelets, along with its good build quality and materials. The watch is powered by a Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement and is widely considered outstanding value. One owner noted an issue with a bracelet screw. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1731 highly for its versatility and value.

From video reviewers

The Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement with its sweeping seconds hand is a consistent strength. Reviewers noted issues with screw quality control and the caseback. There was disagreement on whether the 10 Bar water resistance was a significant weakness.
