  • This is the best watch for the price I've had hands on experience with.
    I'll leave an affiliate link to this watch from Ashford.com below:

    Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
    I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
    I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
    The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
    Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
    Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress, Ashford.com and Jomashop.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    www.jomashop.com
    As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
    Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
    Below are affiliate links for my absolute favorite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

    They are a nice unit. I have the GL0275 at 46mm (8.25" wrist) which is a 300m diver and the lovely detail and slimness are nice attributes. The ratcheting mechanical feel of the crown is one of the most satisfying things about it. I like the bezel colour of yours, especially in the outdoor shots.

    Agreed they are amazing for the price. I got carried away 2 years ago and have three. GL0076 (grey), GL0077 (blue) and full black out (GL0079, i think). They fit my approx 7 in wrist fine due to thinness and curved lugs but I think I'd love the newer 39 version for the smaller dial face. I also would prefer more taper on the bracelet but as you said the bracelet is really good.

    • @WATCHingJames

    I have the combat chronograph, fantastic watch. I got it from Ashfords as well $200 usd. I did have some drama with the delivery though. The watch went missing for a while and only reappeared when I put an inside contact at the courier company on the case. I have to say Ashfords printing “Swiss watch” all over the packaging was probably a dumb idea. 🤨

    There is a reason they are that cheap. Glycine is now a Chinese company with parts and production now based in China and not Switzerland. Im not saying they aren't a great value or not built well , simply the company has sold and why they are so cheap.
