Glycine Combat Sub is absolutely terrific. I own many divers, and I find the Glycine to be one of the best deals in this price range. Swiss movement, sapphire crystal, milled clasp, and more importantly for me, a very slim profile at 10.6mm thick. Wears like a dream.

@han7902 Год назад

36mm and 39mm models that came out in 2021 and 2022 made the combat sub even better. Both models add extra 100 meters water resistance, in compare to the 42mm model.

@SWatchik 4 года назад

Would love to see a "battle of the bracelets" across a range of products, stock and aftermarket. Like you they are hugely important in my purchasing decision. Could be similar to the lume wars!

@jonuiuc 4 года назад

I like the Tissel subby homage, it has a clone glidelock on it which is nice. I lprefer it to the Phoibos, cause I can get it no date (I think the date ruins that phoibos), and a kermit option (and the green ceramic is actually nice and dark). The phoibos does have a cooler logo tho.

I'd put my money on the helm bracelet.

@PT111111 4 года назад

Not sure it matters to be honest. It's the easiest part of the watch to swap out and/or replace, both in terms of the aftermarket choices available and the actual swapping out of the bracelet. That makes it the least important factor in my purchasing decision in this relatively affordable price bracket. Once it's above $500 that's when I start to pay attention to the bracelet.

@frznrrfan.frznrrfan102 4 года назад

@@PT111111 a good quality bracelet is nice and matters to me. If I drop 3-4 hundred on a watch I dont want to have to go on strapecode and spend another 100-150 on a quality bracelet with solid ends and milled clasps. Just my thoughts.

@01nwalker 4 года назад

I bought my Vanuatu on your recommendation and it hasn’t left my wrist since! Love this watch! Thank you Jody for the great content!

@TheMjoelner 4 года назад

The Aquatico Sea Star 300 definitely should be on that list. Sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating, drilled lugs, solid end links, 300 m water resistant and helium escape valve. I got it for $219 on sale, an absolute steal.

@franciscovelez7939 4 года назад

Everytime I watch one of Jody's videos I get an itch for a new watch. Keep them coming Jody.

@Mike-kr9ys 4 года назад

Hey! Just wanted to say that this was my NEW favorite JOMW video. You keep getting better & better at this RU-vid thing. The whole package was superb - the content, your editing, the new camera, your voice modulation, and your calm watch-handling technique. AND all the small details around the periphery that so many RU-vidrs just don't get right. Good on ya! I liked this particular topic, too. I do love me some dive watches - not sure why. Your channel is a treat indeed. Thank you for that voodoo that you do!

@JustOneMoreWatch 4 года назад

Thanks Michael! Much appreciated!

@christophernewman2817 4 года назад

Thanks Jody, a great summary. I’ve got the Helm Vanuatu, added the FC-1 Clasp and it’s a proper treat. You’re right when you say it’s a little on the heavy side, but it has such a gorgeous ‘tool’ feel to it.

@wcianfrani 4 года назад

Definitely check out the Triton. I picked one up a month ago and love it. The bracelet is very nice but the clasp is cheap. So instead of replacing the whole thing I only upgraded the clasp with a Strapcode diver clasp.

@martinbutcher9214 4 года назад

I'm new to the channel , (great name BTW !) , I really like the strait-forward delivery style with clear information . I need to pick up an 'everyday diver' for the collection , lots of interesting choices here, especially with you mixing in the micro-brands too. Many thanks.

@markw62 4 года назад

Nice list I have 3 compact subs that I got from drop the phoibus and the Orient Triton. Was waiting for the price to come down to get the kamasu. Looks like it did.

@carllange3950 4 года назад

I have had my Orient Triton for over 6 months and it is one of my favorite watches. It gets the most wrist time of my 40 watches, since I wear it to bed. It has great lume and the diver extension is handy if I need the bracelet looser while sleeping. After having a power reserve dial on this and my Orient Star GMT, I do not think I will buy another automatic without it. My other divers are an Orient Ray II, which I bought before the Triton and a Citizen Promaster Diver (BN0191-55L), which I wear for something different or I feel the need for quartz accuracy. Currently, the five watches I am wearing the most are: Orient Triton, Timex Ironman (for running and bicycling), Citizen Promaster Tough (BN0211-50E), Citizen Courageous (BL1258-53L), Casio G-Shock GW-S5600-1JF (just got it).

@gregwallace9035 4 года назад

I love it. Great review on all of these Jody. I almost have the coin together for the green Oris Aquis. Maybe a bit more than $400 but it's my watch fetish right now who of us watching this does not have a watch fetish. 👍

@nspr9721 2 года назад

Hi there, I know you reviewed it recently but several of us in my field of work use the new Rotary Super 7 Automatic special edition- we have a very unique front line outdoors job overseas and polish off a ten week rotation with a fortnight's diving. It totally measures up and is good looking, ergonomic and superbly well made. It deserves not to be overlooked. I know the Seiko Atlas strictly speaking isn't a diver, it is an outdoor field watch with diver equivalent specs but it is also another winner- robust and capable, like a Marathon watch at a fraction of the cost!

@i.m4427 4 года назад

You certainly never disappoint, another brilliant video. Could you possibly review some dive watches by Epos Watches in some of the future videos?

@chrisgravel7157 3 года назад

Great review and list Jody! I agree the Mini turtle is the gem and sleeper of the lower end Seikos. I bought a Orient Triton, black and gold and it on sale is a steal. Everything lines up perfectly, great bezel action, bracelet is well finished if a bit cheap - like seiko. Put a strapecode on it and take it up a few notches. The new King Seikos are interesting but in Canada at $850 just to get San Martin specs? I would just go 053 or baby MM or stay micro brand but at least they are waking up.

@woosha10 4 года назад

@williamrizzo1285 4 года назад

Thank you for another great video Jody, having said that you stated that the Phoibos came with a Cyclops but the one in this video does not have a cyclops, I believe the older versions did though. Thanks again and I can't wait for the 43 mm Pagani design sub homage.

@duncanhamilton5841 4 года назад

Picked up a Phoibos Eagle Ray from eBay a few months ago - really well designed and made. The biggest value had to be the Orient Mako or Ray II - got my orange Ray Raven II from Duty Free Island for £130 shipped.

Just last week, you can get the Orient Triton around 305-325 usd (coupon dependent) at jomashop. Orient Kamasu (maroon dial) seems to be still available for under 190 usd with a coupon search.

@chu88y1 4 года назад

Great Vid. You review so many therefore how cool that you look back to compare. I like my black Orient diver but my green Kamasu really begs for ceramic bezel.....guess they can get away easier with cheap black bezel compared to other colors in my opinion.

@johnmoorefilm 4 года назад

Jody, one of the truly great things about your work is that you engender TRUST. The fact that you link to watches you put your recommendations behind is the key difference. Sure, you make a few cents to help the Chanel survive, but that’s fine because we are all willing to do that in trade for your hard and reliable work. Thanks

@calnative4904 4 года назад

Excellent review Jody, I would love to pick out a couple of these but I need to have some control, I do have the Komodo and it is an excellent watch for the price.

Costco in the US is also a good place to watch for Glycines. They beat even Drop when they have them, and have had their own variants. Right now they've got four versions for $300. I think before Christmas, they were even cheaper.

Great list, agree with the Orients and the Glycine . Have you ever reviewed the Tisell Submariner homage or any of their watches? They look pretty good with Miyota 9015 movements.
