Watches

I have the combat sub & i’m currently wearing the glycine vintage combat 36mm. Both great watches. They keep impeccable time for the money. I found them on eBay for less than list price.

I have a 36mm gilt dial.

I got it for the Bond vibes and I love it.

I think it is very, very good value for money compared to other watches in the price category. The movement has been holding to tighter specs that issued for the year or so that ive had it. One of my more accurate watches. It'll hold zero over the week if I take it off for sleeping most nights.

The dial gives surprisingly precise readings given the 36 size I have. Works great under water but the seconds hand is a little blurry. I'm sure the 39, and 42 sizes would have better under water visibility on the seconds hand. But its a great skin diver.

With 18mm lug width, it is a strap monster. I tend to rock sailcloth and parachutes more than the OEM bracelet. But the bracelet is perfectly serviceable, but the 36 does use a butterfly with no half links or micro adjust. The only counter to that is, being a 36 and lighter, if it wears a little loose, I don't mind because of the size and style. I use the textiles for tight fits. Also, it takes in a whole new character with a $10 straight link jubilee style from amazon.

The lume isn't going to give you sun burn, but its is very much no slouch. Its enough to get me to the minute around the apartment and a champ in the tent went camping. Under starlight, you can just read the dial as normal with the finishing of the hands and indices. It's usually his under my sleeve due to size and I can always make out the time with relative ease, so I'm not "cheating" by giving it a flash light charge.

Good watches, but their name and logo seem out of Ali Express.

Glycine is my new go to recommendation for “first nice Swiss watch”. The bang-for-the-buck you get with them is incredible. It’s a great choice.

Their Combat Sub series is excellent if you like the diver look. The Airman is also nice… honestly, they’re all really great; you can’t lose.

I have an airman no. 1, and it's a great watch. Swiss movement, well made, no complaints.

Make sure to look for discounted pricing. The list prices for many of their watches are way over-inflated, and it's possible to get the watches brand new at a steep discount if you look.

Just got a Combat 6 Vintage yesterday. My first Glycine. Very impressed with the quality and comfort. Quality is on par with my Hamilton field auto. Held side by side, I’d say the Hamilton is a little better, but it could be my bias.

No brainer for the $250 I paid for it from Jomashop. If someone else had it and told me it was a $700 watch, I’d believe them. I’m seriously considering the Combat Sub as my next watch. I don’t have and always wanted a Submariner style diver.
