Thanks for the review. You might have mentioned how easy the movement is to regulate. (With screw) This is a big plus over many other popular movements.
I agree! A great watch! It's easy not to take them seriously, because they are cheap and owned by Invicta. But if you really look at what you get, they're an amazing value. They come in so many variations that you could easily have several different colorways and they are one of those watches that people sell and then re-buy when they realize how great they are. Mine has the ETA and you'd have a hard time finding another watch with that movement for anywhere near $300. If you're used to Seikos the lume might not be too impressive, but it's better than . . . . Say, a Hamilton or maybe even Tissot!? I would say it's almost too good to be "a beater". Do yourself a favor, run down to Costco and get one! 😁
Exactly. Their still manufactured in biel Switzerland in tge same factories. My certified watchmaker saw their workshop last yr. It's like telling people about swatch owning omega longines etc all they do is back them up money wise.
I picked up the last one at costco. $249. Its slim case has changed my thoughts on how diver's should be. Put it on 2 piece rubber and it goes under cuff with ease. It did need regulation, which is very easy with screw adjustment.
I picked up this watch a couple years ago (ETA version and silver applied logo on dial) and love it, I hate the nato though. It performs better than my khaki field or prospex. The antireflective coating on the underside of the crystal is beautiful in the sunlight. It doesn't pretend to be a rolex which is also great, not a homage. Feels like my most expensive watch which is absolutely isn't. Solid buy if you are on the fence
I have this very watch on order from Ashford! I ordered it 309.00 and then it was reduced to 289.00 on the website I haven't received the watch yet and I requested that they adjust their price to me! I am very excited to receive this watch!
Excellent value, I agree. I have two oversized combat subs in 46mm diameter and love them. I was lucky, mine are both +3 secs a day. I also highly recommend the Tissot Seastar for value.
Glycine is highly underrated. Not luxury....BUT....Excellent value, quality Swiss Made watches. Great history since 1914. The combat sub wears extremely comfortable on the wrist, it hugs the wrist similar to the Oris Aquis. A manly military designed no non-sense tool diver, time legibility on the dial is 100% optimal at every angle. Wears very thin to slide under the cuff of any shirt and accuracy is great, in my experience. It does wear true to size at 42mm, bezel clicks and alignment is perfect...better than watches that cost over 1K. Btw, Glycine makes excellent leather straps too.
Just saw this watch at Costco today and it was selling for $249. I liked the look of it and found your channel looking to get more info. Great review and just subbed.
yes, they are great watches for that price, it's a shame that invicta manipulates their prices like that, because the quality of them is ok in relation to the price. but completely agree glycine combat sub is best swiss made for the price. PS du gør det virkelig godt med din kanal og anmeldelserne .
I agree, I have two (that one and the all black stealth version) and they’re fantastic. My only real gripe is that the bracelets are around $150. They’re nice but not worth 50% of the watch price. If you want one you’re better off just buying a quartz version for $30 more than the bracelet alone, then you have a nice beater to put on the nato.
These Combat subs look a bit like the old Breitling Superocean. I wish it has atleast 12mm thickness because it looks flimsy for how wide it is and the fact its a diver I like having a chunkier feel for a robust tool watch, that's just me, but hey you can't beat its $300 price tag.
So my glycine… GL0416, great crown, pretty good bezel, would prefer 120 click. Good bracelet, a little too wide for me, my main gripe is the clasp. Step it up glycine. If 25 dollar Chinese company’s can figure out a nice secure milled push button clasp so can they. I just hate the 1990s flip open tin-can piece of metal on the bracelet. Oh and crown is one of the most robust feeling crowns in my collection. Feels like a tank.
Very nice man, really temped now lol. BTW, love the Titoni too. Want to get the Titoni seascope 600 for my next big milestone bthday. Great review! Cheers
Great review. I bought the exact same watch about six months ago. Couldn't stand the strap it comes on as I found it uncomfortable. Bought a mildness from Invicta for 50% off. Punches far above its weight for the price. Only problem is it stops sometimes when on my bedside table at night which shouldn't be happening. I'm not sure if Sellita movement is meant to be wound or not.
I go through A LOT of watches. That’s how it is to run a UA-cam channel. Just because I sell a watch dosn’t mean I don’t like it. If I kept unto all the watches I would need to do a house extention to fit them in.
@@andywilliams4887 I have a 4 or 5 year old bronze Glycine Combat 6 sitting in a watch winder. I haven't worn it since Christmas and it's two minutes fast after 60 days. No complaints about accuracy, except it's a bit too big for me at 43mm. so it doesn't get much wrist time. I'd get another Glycine but the one I really want is still a bit too pricey. I'll wait a year or two and try to snap one up when they hit the grey market.
That's unprofessional and wrong! ANY Quartz watch is more accurate than ANY automatic watch! If you want an accurate Automatic Timekeeper Buy chronometer grade! It's a fact Jack!
At these prices they are basically throw away watches. I have mine(the 83) for 5 years from Drop. From the start the winding was gritty. It failed after just 2 years of light wear. I had it repaired which cost me 200 Euro's. Next time it ends op in the bin although it runs fine nowadays. The strap is horrible but I replaced it with a Blu Shark seatbelt nato.
i have that same GL0083 i am disappointed. i never believed the $1000+ BS price tag that came with this turkey. the lume SUCKS. the bezel is 60 click and after a week of wearing my watch it ran fast 45 minutes a day! good thing glycine covered the repair out of warranty. glycine has always been at the lower end of swiss quality. invicta didnt do them any favors.
It’s not uncommon to use a postbox or have an ugly factory. But its quite easy to find official company details. www.zefix.ch/de/search/entity/list/firm/71126

How can you regulate the movement to make it more accurate?

$239.00 at Costco 2 weeks ago. Couldn’t resist.
Just got mine from costco. Going to Mexico for vacation and it will be my dive watch
I wanted to get this one. But I didn't care for the orange hands and indexes.

Glycine are excellent. Nato strap accentuates the Sean Connery 1960s Submariner Bond vibe.
I bought this watch from Costco (just like the tag states) for $299. It’s one of my favorite watches. Excellent choice

What is a top quality Dog Collar strap? They're all cheap-ass straps made with $3 of nylon.
Yeah like Glycine. Great value. 👍
Costco model😂
I wanted to buy this. Lume was dissapointing.
Agreed. Non existent
I picked one up from Costco today for $149

I have a Bronze version without the 24 hour dial & brown dial & brown rubber strap.
It cost 545 euros in Europe 😢
Solid review!!
236.00 at Costco.
Love this watch! ⌚
It's really nice looking but it's too thin. I don't like the combination of thin and large flat diameter. It feels likes a big coin on the wrist.
Appalling movement accuracy. And why is this your third one? Clearly not happy enough with this model to keep it in your collection.

@@swilkobarfingtoniii1642 get the sub 39 or 36, I just ordered the sub 39, hopefully it's perfect :)
Please get a Mecha quartz if you are so obsessed with accuracy! Automatic watches are not bought for accuracy at this price point! Thanks!
You are weird.

@@davidcrandall4958 This makes no sense. Why buy a quartz watch if you like mechanical watches? You make no sense.

Better than the new pricey Seikos 5
Yes it’s definitely a better watch than a Seiko 5. The lume on the Seiko is better though.

One problem with this watch- the name. Sounds like Glycerine.

Sounds like your watch got magnetized. Easy fix with a demagnetizer available for $12 on Amazon.
Fake? Tried to find an address in Switzerland of the factory. Nothing. Only a P.O. Box. A video of the factory? Nothing.
It’s not uncommon to use a postbox or have an ugly factory. But its quite easy to find official company details.
