Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
The slim case profile and comfortable wearability are praised. The bezel action received criticism for having slight play and a less-than-satisfying click.
Owners report mixed experiences with Resco's customer service and product durability. One owner encountered issues with crown threading and a subsequent partial refund, while another experienced rust near the crown on a different model, which the company attributed to normal wear. However, another owner praised the brand's durability and customer service after a severe accident. The Resco Stainless Red features a 44mm case and 200m water resistance. Overall, owners are split on the brand's service and product resilience, with some praising durability and others encountering specific issues.
