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 Bronze

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Bronze for its beautiful and unique patina development, comfortable thin 10mm case, and extraordinary lume. The watch is considered a fun and good value at its price point, with a cool bezel insert and a surprisingly accurate movement. Some owners dislike the shiny, non-bronze buckle, while opinions are split on the dial's gradient, with some appreciating its changing appearance and others disliking it. One owner notes the crown can be slightly difficult to screw down. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Bronze highly for its attractive bronze patina and slim, comfortable wearability at an accessible price.
