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 Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its exceptional value, thin profile, and solid build quality, often noting its finishing and wearability as superior for its price point. Reviewers consistently flag its slim case, with measurements around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, and appreciate its non-homage design and comfortable lug curvature. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting only 2 seconds per day loss, while another notes their Sellita SW200 movement runs at +6 to +9 seconds per day. Some owners report inconsistent power reserve not reaching the advertised 42 hours and find the lume sub-par for nighttime legibility. A few also mention sharp bracelet edges and a potentially short bracelet for larger wrists, and one owner dislikes the "COMBAT" text on the dial. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its impressive thinness and value as a Swiss automatic diver.

Zelos Spearfish 3

The Zelos Spearfish 3 is widely praised for its exceptional finishing, with razor-sharp polish and flawless brushed transitions that owners feel exceed its price point. The 40mm case is noted for its wearability, and the La Joux-Perret G100 movement offers a 68-hour power reserve, with reported accuracy averaging +2.6 seconds per day. Reviewers highlight the exceptionally smooth bi-directional bezel and a tool-less micro-adjustment clasp described as best-in-class among microbrands. The sapphire sandwich construction and lumed bezel are also cited as desirable features. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Spearfish 3 highly for its outstanding finishing and value at its price point.
