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 6 Classic

Owners praise the Glycine Combat 6 Classic's dressier 36mm profile, comfortable and light wearability, and an exceptionally legible dial with lume on numerals. The Cal. 224 movement, an ETA 2824-2, is noted as reliable. One owner points out minimal lume on the hands and a visible serial number between the lugs. Overall, owners find the Glycine Combat 6 Classic a reliable and good value option, particularly for its wearability and dial legibility.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
