The Combat Sub is a watch which has been on my radar for a while now. So, big thanks to Ashley for the loan of his, erm, funky orange and black version. A lot to like a $399USd, and if you can snag one for less, then even more to like. There are a few fairly obvious areas where a few dollars have been trimmed off the build cost, but nothing that detracts form the good looks and the way it wears. Cheers, Jody

Rolex submariner is a glycine homage. Worth to mention.

Wouldn't say it's a submariner homage. Definitely its own watch.

The bezel minute markers all align perfectly with the numerals on the dial. Rules it out for Seiko fans, who will not be happy and won't be interested in buying this watch.

I wanted a field watch and a dive watch. I couldn't chose which to get. So I got this. As a daily wearer this is just fantastic, and for me the best of both field and dive styles!

@dustind6170 4 года назад

An FYI on this watch, the older models are based on the 25 jewel ETA 2824 while newest ones use the 26 jewel Sellita SW200. Obviously they're basically the same thing but some people do care about the difference. Just look for the difference in the jewel count to know which ebauche each Combat Sub model uses.

A nicely done review! I like how loaner watches allow you to stretch out your review repertoire. Kudos to the kind soul that loaned you this watch, as it benefits all your subscribers. Hey! At that Costco price, you could get one every time they switched the model they offered - you could end up with the whole Combat Sub catalog, possibly!

@modelandrei6599 4 года назад

Of all the outside shots you took, I think this one takes the cake. Love the way the rain drops run down the face of the watch, the way the gloomy weather contrast with the orange on the dial, and the green bushes in the background in combination with this watch got me thinking of the american soldiers deployed in Vietnam. Thank you for another great review!

Orange paint has been the traditional color for actual dive watches (Doxa/Seiko). For a long time people thought it would show up well under water in filtered light (sun or flashlight). It doesn't. A light teal blue does show up better. But, orange is the traditional color. Great review. Thanks!

@russellbills5139 4 года назад

This was my first Swiss made automatic. Mine is also a post-Invicta, and they seem to be making a few subtle changes every year (mine has drilled lugs and a much more matte dial, etc). Overall, though, it's a fantastic "every day" watch.

@surfitli 4 года назад

A very fair review. I basically agree. I have a few of these. They are really nice. I’m not sure, if the Combat Sub was actually ever used by any military, but I believe it’s supposed to be military inspired, hence the Combat in he name. So a case that is not super refined makes sense. The lume I believe is C1, so it does not last as C3 does. Probably the watch’s biggest weakness. Of course, it’s also an aluminum Bezel insert, no ceramic or sapphire. I have the GL0080, which is the Black PVD with the Black and red dial. Reminds me of 1980s sport cars and also KITT from Knight Rider.

@anthonysmithyman372 4 года назад

Been on my radar a while, superb watches, I own a 36mm Combat 6 and its fantastic, the ETA 2824 in mine is accurate to 2/3 seconds a week, the build quality is excellent and the Invicta ownership makes no difference to the Glycine brand, they have been around over 100 years and are still made in the same factory in Switzerland, highly recommended.

@MattBrandon 4 года назад

Interesting, I have this same watch and model and my lume lasts all night. Maybe you are not giving it a good long blast of light. Maybe because I use an ultraviolet light flashlight to prime mine up. Anyway, I agree with everything else you've stated. I have much more costly watches but for some crazy reason this watch stays on my wrist! The only thing that would make this watch better, and I know this is just me, is a day/date rather than just day complication. I am super excited about the brand new (as of Oct 2019) bronze versions. They have a completly redesigned dial. I hope you review them once they are released.
