What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Marus

The Sternglas Marus is widely praised for its well-built, heavy feel and excellent bezel action, considered the best in its price range. Despite its 42mm diameter and 52mm lug-to-lug, owners report it fits surprisingly well on slim wrists. A reviewer notes the short seconds hand as a drawback, but highlights the watch as a fun, affordable starting point for a collection, featuring a vibrant Pepsi bezel and an anthracite dial that shifts in appearance, powered by a Miyota 8215 movement for €399. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Marus highly for its robust build and superior bezel at its price point.

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.
