Original Glycine only made Swiss automatic, which was respectable as a second tier Swiss watch went. Since then it was purchased by Invicta, no thanks with their designs, and it seems they are using Glycine once good name to profit from it. Google Glycine with Invicta, you will see they are selling Glycine automatic watches at “50%” off (psst! Jomashop is even cheaper)...Anyway I also googled the Ronda Swiss quartz, surprising you can get one for $35.00 . So here is my guess, Invicta is testing to use everything else parts of Glycine and make it a “monster“ watch with quartz instead. I’d check out prices of discounted automatic Glycine models (Jomashop, Amazon,...others) bf making a decision on this one. I think I will pass on this “exclusive” deal.
