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.

Sternglas Sedius

The Sternglas Sedius is widely praised for its harmonious blend of Bauhaus minimalism and Art Deco elegance, featuring a well-balanced sector dial and a smooth-sweeping seconds hand from its Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement. Owners and reviewers note its pleasing wearability due to the case shape and slender lugs, and it is considered an affordable option with a good price-performance ratio. One reviewer flags legibility issues on the black dial variant, while the blue-on-white offers crispness. The Sternglas Sedius lacks a date complication and features a double-domed sapphire crystal. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Sedius highly for its classy Art Deco aesthetic and value.
