Is the Glycine Combat Vintage a good first automatic watch?

It can be, if you are comfortable with a 43mm case and the upkeep of a mechanical movement. Its military styling and legible dial make it easy to live with day to day.

The case is 43mm across and round. That is on the large side, so try one on if your wrists are slim.

Does it need a battery?

No. It runs on a self-winding automatic movement, powered by the motion of your wrist. If you leave it off for a few days it will stop and need setting and winding.

What kind of strap does it take?

It uses standard spring bars, so most 22mm straps should fit. Check the lug width on the specific model before buying a replacement.

How does it compare with a quartz field watch?

A quartz field watch is more accurate and needs only a battery change, while this Glycine adds a sweeping automatic movement and vintage character at the cost of regular winding and pricier servicing.

About the Glycine Men's Combat Vintage Automatic Watch

The Glycine Combat Vintage is a 43mm round-cased automatic wristwatch in Glycine's military-inspired Combat line, with an analog dial and a self-winding mechanical movement. Its large case and vintage field-watch styling set it apart from dressier automatics at similar prices. It suits buyers who want a big, legible automatic with heritage looks rather than a slim everyday watch.
