Having been producing watches for more than 100 years, Glycine has proven its reliability among both enthusiasts and appreciators of a good timepiece. The Incursore line is characterized by its bold and easy-to-read indices and put-together appearance Read More
the Watch works. The time is pretty accurate. The watch just feels cheap. I find myself wearing my Maratec more. For the same amount I think there are better options.
Got mine (GL0045, black face, conventional numerals) in the last drop and very pleased with it for the price. Not particularly elegant, but I got it to wear for activities where I prefer not to risk a better watch. Set it 4 days ago and, in normal wear since then, it’s running just +3 seconds over that time. Maybe I’m the lucky one.
We’ll see how it holds up. But happy so far.
Personal preference? The biggest size watch I’ve dabbled into so far is a 43.5mm, and I still feel it’s much too large, wrist size has a huge influence on that, too.
MrSharkbaitIn all honesty, that one looks the best. It's not so plain like the others. It would look a lot better I'd the case was polished instead of that brushed look.
louifCheesy applied (and redesigned) Glycine wings logo, blacked out hands/markers. Just a worse looking dial in general. It's like Invicta just had to cheapen the watch with their remaining cases.
DW is a lousy company that rips off rich bloated white people with satirical "fashion" watches. Although the DW founder is a genius when it comes to marketing, using Instagram to push his product, it's a clear reflection of just how absurd and arrogant the fashion industry has devolved. DW watches are bad, just cheap and tacky and all the watches are exactly the same.
Coining phrases such as "affordable luxury" (which is an oxymoron), and "cutting out the middleman" when they most definitely ARE the middleman, and praying on the gullibility and genuine ignorance of the average non watch owner; The fact that all their watches are absolutely the same as each other is comical, then they have the audacity to claim themselves as unique! All this further points out how fundamentally broken the average consumer's understanding of quality is.
In short, it's a Walmart $5 brand watch that's sold for $180 because Americans are idiots and will buy anything. In truth, DW watches are cheap, Chinese low quality, simple movement, spray painted watches that are the exact same as you may find in the dollar store. Stay away from the hype, it's a joke and a huge ripoff. Or go ahead and get one, and go to a modern art gallery with the rest of the DW,MVMT,5th watch owners and marvel at an exhibit of a trash can.
At this price, these would seem to validate the rumor that Glycine makes some of their stuff in China and only supplies Swiss-made rotors in order to meet the 60 percent Swiss Made standard.
The effect of the 2017 is hard to determine for people outside of the Swiss watch industry. Publicly the watch industry is portraying it as toughening of standards, but here is some indication that high-end watchmakers think that they were bamboozled, by the majority of the industry that wants to make watches in China.
The percentage was raised from 50 percent to 60 percent and was applied not only to the movement, but also to the cased movement, which would discourage the used of Chinese cases, since to compensate, the movement would need to have more Swiss value. But at the same time the law allowed R&D and certification costs to be added to the value of the watch. How much are these? Is certification only for things like chronometers
or for any watch? And R&D seems especially vulnerable to abuse.
Also, large watches like Glycine's Combat Sub Aquarius do not fall within the definition of a watch at all under the law due to a thickness exceeding 14 mm. This would mean, for instance, that the Oris men's depth gauge diver watches recently dropped here do not have to comply with the law. I don't know if this means that such watches can use SWISS MADE at will, without complying with the law's standards, but both the Glycine and the Oris do say SWISS MADE on the dial.
This article says it's not a manual winding watch. Does that mean it does not hand wind? Aren't all 2824 based movements hacking and hand winding, in addition to automatic?
HadoKing I can certainly handwind this watch and keeps pretty good time. 1 out of 3 Glycine I tried works .
Airman DC-4 was defective on arrival. Fortunately,, I am getting warranty service but I won't see it until next 2-3 weeks of time...
