This Glycine Combat 40mm quartz watch stands out as a compact, well specced field style piece with sapphire crystal, SuperLuminova lume, a metal bracelet, and 200 meter water resistance. The 40 millimeter case, 11.15 millimeter thickness, and 20 millimeter lug width give it balanced proportions, and quartz accuracy means no time setting hassle. The main caveat is expectation setting, since it is a sub 200 watch and not a Rolex level piece. Comparable pricing at JomaShop and Glycine's own site suggests the deal is in the right range, making it a solid value oriented pick.
Buyers comparing quartz and automatic versions, because the quartz option delivers the same style with better accuracy and less maintenance.
Watch buyers wanting a tough everyday quartz diver, because quartz is more accurate, needs no time setting, and can take more abuse than mechanical movements.
Shoppers after a sub-$200 Swiss watch with sapphire, a metal bracelet, and 200m water resistance, because those specs are packed into a relatively low price.
Yes. JomaShop was mentioned with the blue dial at $152 using code SAVE10GA and the black dial at $161.50 with a product-page code, while the official Glycine site had a blue quartz option around $160.
Yes. It offers a 40mm case, sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova lume, 200m water resistance, and a metal bracelet at a sub-$200 price. That makes it strong value for a quartz watch, especially compared with higher-priced automatic Glycine models.
The quartz version is more accurate, does not need regular time-setting, and can handle more abuse. The automatic version is more expensive, with one 42mm automatic listed at $380 on Glycine's site, so the quartz model is the cheaper buy if you want the same style.
It has a 40mm case diameter, 11.15mm thickness, 20mm lug width, sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova lume, and 200m water resistance. Those specs make it a compact diver-style watch that should wear relatively slim for its category.
Swiss Made watch in the $100s, find a better price than Glycine.
I agree with you. The only deal that I have seen close to this is the digital PRX. This is a good deal. But unfortunately, people are expecting to find a Rolex for this price.
I have a ridiculous watch collection. Current collection around 100 pieces. More autos than Quartz but in multiple ways quartz is superior to mechanical. Mechanical is great until you need to service it which will literally cost as much as the watch. Quartz can take more abuse and is typically expected to last 30 years before you need to throw the watch away.
Quartz of course being far more accurate and you don't have to keep setting the time.
The real downside to quartz has more to do with not as many options that feel as high quality as autos, but that has nothing to do with the movement inside. Quartz remains a massive horological achievement.
Being an automatic watch snob but looking at watches in the low 170 range is a bit of an oxymoron. Glycine is a solid watch brand with metal bracelet, sapphire and 200 m water resistance for a mere sub 200 is a solid deal. Quartz is more accurate than mechanical and you don't have to set the time ever.
I have the version of this watch with the GMT 3rd hand, $190 about 3 years ago and can vouch for its build quality, accuracy, and good looks. It makes no attempt to impersonate a Rolex, and nobody shopping this price range should expect anything like a Rolex either.
