What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, custom typeface, and syringe hands, calling it a standout feature. The 36mm steel case is noted as a thoughtful, comfortable complement to the dial, and the smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210-1 hand-wound movement is appreciated. Some find the 5atm water resistance limiting, and the anti-reflective coating can be prone to glare. The 18mm strap width is also mentioned as potentially limiting for strap enthusiasts. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and elegant, versatile design.

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.
