What do you guys think about the Glycine Airman 7? I am thinking about adding it to my list.

My first gut feeling is that I don't like it. I believe it looks a bit messy with the three large independent dials, especially considering the size of the watch. But maybe that's something that grows on you?

What is it that you like with the model?

I tried to like Glycine as it is one of those fringe brands, and not too expensive, but their designs just don't do it for me... the balance placement and logo and stuff just aren't visually appealing enough to me.

I agree - I just don't 'get' these watches - I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve. The Ningaloo Reef Complique could be a good watch but the design misses the point for me - not to mention the name.

Yeah, "Ningaloo Reef" sounds like it should be a holiday location in Northern Australia! Or maybe a type of flip-flop or something! :lol:

I don't know what it is.. when I think Simple designs, I think of Sinn.. and Sinn's watches are very nice looking in their simplicity. Glycine on the other hand looks a bit "off" in their simplicity.. Just doesn't work for me.
