Bought this same combat sub in gray dial/bezel, from Costco in 2019 on a bracelet for $289.99. Very much a quality watch for the price. Much better to have it on a bracelet than the nato strap. The bracelet on these is actually very nice compared to others in this price bracket.

I don't own this build but got in on a past SD front page deal on a Glycine. I have the GL0385 combat classic and am very impressed with the quality and value. The movement is smooth with a very satisfying tick. The self wind holds for about 24 hrs movement before needing a wind but I do find winding it a superior tactile experience. If you are looking for an entry level swiss automatic this is a great deal.

They are owned by Invicta. This says it all.

$300 seems to be the going "decent price" of these combat sub autos.

The value is if you like any of these variants and the Costco return policy / non gray market import status. If not, you'll likely see $300~ again, especially on the 42s.

The actual sale was the $240, now sold out. I've been watching these for a while waiting for a sale, but I guess this advertisement preempted me. I have the black pvd version and it's a solid piece. Thickness is the selling point, as it's noticeably thinner than many other autos in the price range.

Absolutely a notch or two above seiko and orient at and below $300.

I have this watch but in 39mm, which I paid around $500 for since that size doesn't seem to see much discounting. Overall it's a solid watch with 300m of water resistance. Basically can bring it anywhere and do any activities without having to worry about it.

However, as someone else mentioned, the QC doesn't seem great. The movement has a bit of a gritty feeling when you turn the crown and some dates on my date wheel aren't aligned that well.

But overall for a Swiss micro-brand at this price point, it's pretty good value. Just need to have your expectations in-line with that.

Glycine brand used to mean something until Invicta bought them. They are decent watches but being associated with Invicta with their shading pricing ploy makes me not want to touch this brand.
