New combat sub on the way. Is it a dive watch or a diver inspired watch?

Only five more days till my Glycine Combat sub arrives. I didn't buy it as a diver per se, I just like the look. I think its form over function here. Does anybody actually use dive watches for diving?

Like many other watches, I put it in the dressy diver group. It has all the specs of a dive watch, so yes, it's a real diver but a bit more polished than your usual tool diver.

My guess would be that 100% of watch enthusiast that also dive, wear a watch while diving. Think about it, it couldn't be otherwise ; )

And congrats for the sub! It's a very nice looking piece and Glycine makes good watches. I particularly like the fact that it's a slim and well proportioned watch for the average human wrist. Enjoy and don't forget to post pictures when received!

Thanks! Tracking says it will arrive on Monday.

I'm glad you picked that model. That's my favorite.

I can't wait to see wrist shots. If you have time, please give the diver lovers a review.

Beautiful watch, and I'd say definitely a real diver. Glycine makes real world watches for real world use. Wouldn't be surprised to see the odd Military Diver wear one either. I think these are a bargain and a great looking watch. I'd go for either yours or the stainless/black model.

You are getting the color combo that I am looking hard at too for my second Sub.

My other Combat Sub I take diving, driving, exercising, working on cars, and once in a while out to dinner. It handles everything with ease and still looks good and wears very comfy on the wrist.

They are great watches.

Its a diver styled sports watch.

Why is it so hard to fully index the bezel??? Adequate WR and a good timing bezel isn't too much to ask. Too many companies are more interested in style than function.

Full index would be too busy IMO. I think "dressy diver" is appropriate.
