What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT

The Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT is widely praised for its stunning dial execution, COSC-certified Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, and legible Brixtrack luminous indices. Owners and reviewers highlight the surprisingly wearable 43mm titanium case and bracelet, noting its lightness and comfort despite the size, with one source specifically mentioning a quick-adjustable extension. The watch offers 200m water resistance and features a Synchroline indicator. However, some owners note the titanium scratches easily and the bracelet can be difficult to size. The watch is priced at €4,500. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT highly for its purpose-focused pilot's watch design and innovative movement.

RZE Urbanist

The RZE Urbanist is widely praised as a fantastic, lightweight, "grab and go" everyday watch. Owners highlight its durable titanium case with scratch-resistant coatings and sapphire crystal. The solar movement is noted for keeping good time and is guaranteed for life. Production models feature a push-in crown, a change from earlier screw-down versions. Overall, owners rate the RZE Urbanist highly for its durable, lightweight titanium construction and reliable solar movement.

From video reviewers

The RZE Urbanist features a Japanese movement for accurate timekeeping and reliable performance. The watch's lume brightness is a shared weakness, with both reviewers noting it could be improved. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer considering it a 'great value' for the price, while the other highlights its solar power feature as a significant strength.
