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 Classic

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Classic for its refined engineering, comfortable wearability, and well-designed, legible dial. The lume on the markers and Arabic numerals is noted as sufficient, though the lume on the hands is minimal. One owner reported their 42mm version outperformed other watches despite rough use, while another found the quality fantastic but gave away the 42mm version due to its size. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Combat Classic highly for its quality and finishing at the price, with the primary caveat being the size of the 42mm variant for some wearers.

CIGA Design SKELETON

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design SKELETON for its value and willingness to challenge established brands, with some surprised by its quality. One owner reports their CIGA Design Series Z in Black DLC has been perfect for over four years, keeping good time and looking neat. However, some find the skeletonized movement's visibility obscured by reflections due to the lack of anti-reflective coating on the crystal. One owner reported their CIGA Design Z Series Skeleton broke after three months with no customer service response. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design SKELETON highly for its surprising quality and value proposition.
