Glycine Combat 6 Classic - The best budget Swiss field watch?

[@mclaughlinja1995]

This is such an underrated watch. Beautiful dial, and I like the case shape and crown guard.

[@willardhooton920]

36mm version = poor man’s Datejust. Absolutely adore it! Best horological value right here folks!!

[@surfitli]

I have a combat 6 Vintage. It’s the same case but with a Hamilton Khaki Field Style dial and different hands. It’s on a Nato Strap. That bracelet is very nice. It needs half like no’s because the clasp has no micro adjustments. The Combat Sub and the Airman are also very nice watches. Glycines are a good value.

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Totally agree that Glycine watches are an amazing value!

[@Ken-gv6sb]

Another great review of a beautiful watch. Thank you!

[@Riggzilla]

I'm a big fan of the Rolex Explorer 1 for its simple design and fairly unassuming stature. I'm glad Glycine offers a beautiful Swiss watch for a great value! I might pick this up soon.

[@dr.omar.insights2000]

I have the 36 mm version with 2 tone bracelet. Outstanding

[@Thewolfamongus74]

Just picked up the 36, great everyday wear watch.

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Nice, the 36mm seems like a great size for an everyday wear

[@Thewolfamongus74]

@@EverydayWatchGuy the 36mm uses the 20mm bands right? Also, great channel!

Good review, I have the 36mm version, my favourite watch. One thing to note is the GL224 movement can either be an ETA or a Sellita, yours looks like a Sellita SW200. Same specs except one extra jewel (26 vs 25 in the ETA).

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

That's a good point about the GL224 movement. Now that I think about it, I think you are correct about this watch having the Sellita SW200. Thanks.

[@michabojanowski402]

@@EverydayWatchGuy It's SW200-1 for sure - 26j, the shape of the rotor and two additional pins on the frame makes it clear. But this is a feature of this watch, not a flaw. I know what i'm talking about cause i have one (based on SW as well) and it is one of my favourite - it's marvelous :) Thank You for the review!! Good job! PS. What about accuracy of Yours? I have +/-3s/24h - am I the lucky one ? ;)

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Thanks for the feedback! The SW200 in my Combat6 gets about +7sec/day, so I guess you are luckier than me, lol.

[@shibafujiwatches2808]

Mine arrived today. Best value entry level Swiss watch you can get ATM. Love the size - wears big but I wanted that. Would have been perfect if it had applied hour markers the same material as the hands but you can’t have everything at this price point. One of my cheapest if not cheapest watches but It’s going to see a lot of wrist time as it’s now one of my favorites. Classy and nice quality - can wear it to countries like Thailand etc without the worries you have with a Rolex and the like. Thanks for video. It solidified my decision to purchase one.

[@shibafujiwatches2808]

FYI My bracelet tapers down to 18mm and has the 2nd and 4th links mirror polished. (Outer and center links brushed) It looks nice.

[@primecreator]

Thanks for the overview. I'm currently wearing my combat sub, with the same dial as yours. They are very well made watches but I'm struggling with the small pips aesthetically, I regret not getting the numbered dial.

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

I kind of like how the small pips make the watch more understated, but that's just me.

[@willardhooton920]

Bronze version fixes that👍

[@phatcat5457]

Cool watch. Especially with the "expedition" caseback ;)

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@kevhun1]

They make great watches. I have this great watch

[@markthibault8579]

Great review. Thanks for putting it up as there aren't many on this watch. I'm seriously considering the 36mm version with the black dial. Do you know if the black version also has that sunburst effect like the blue one?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Thanks for the feedback. I would go with the 36mm version for sure if you have under a 7inch wrist size (they wear bigger than you think). From what I understand, the black version also has a muted sunburst effect like the blue one :)

[@markthibault8579]

@@EverydayWatchGuy Cool. I'm in Canada too. What import charges did they apply when you got your watch?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

@@markthibault8579 There was about $35 USD of import duties on the watch when I ordered it online. Still a good value though

[@markthibault8579]

@@EverydayWatchGuy Right now, I'm trying to decide on this vs the Seiko SARB033. The Seiko would cost $200 CAD more which I'm not sure is really worth it. Thoughts?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

@@markthibault8579 I own both watches and you can't really go wrong with either. Although, the watch that is on my wrist more is the Seiko Sarb033. I think it is more versatile and the fit and finish make it feel more expensive than it is. Perhaps you can find a used one on a local watch form (like I did) at a decent price?

[@gordybee47]

Very good review..thanks

[@BrakkoJanus]

It's weird that the bracelet doesn't taper, I was looking at the Glycine website and in the stat sheet this is what they say about the bracelet: Straps & Bracelet: Material: stainless steel integrated bracelet Colors: stainless steel Width: 22.00mm horns / 20.00mm buckle Buckle: folding clasp buckle

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Perhaps I need to remeasure the bracelet at the clasp, but it definitely did not feel like it tapered down on my watch when I reviewed it.

[@BrakkoJanus]

@@EverydayWatchGuy it doesn't look like it tapers either to be honest...

[@therichieboy]

I'm looking to buy a white/silver dial version of this with the alligator style leather strap. Would you say it would work as a dress watch?

[@-Dash-]

Great review... Everything I wanted to see... Cheers

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Thanks

[@es.design]

I have the moonphase Combat 6 and it keeps better time than my $3,900 MSRP Breitling. lol. It's still $449 on Jomashop. Crazy good deal IMO. Just wish it had applied markers, and the lume isn't very good.

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Yeah, the moon phase version looks awesome!

[@pedrovilela4507]

does the moonphase complication implies more expensive maintenance, or more specifically?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

From what I can tell, the movement is fairly similar with or without the moonphase complication. This, I don't think it would require more expensive maintenance. Cheers
