What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph

Owners widely praise the Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph for its captivating blue dial, excellent case finishing, and legible matte dial, with some noting its Powermatic 80 movement offers remarkable accuracy averaging -0.6 seconds per day and an 80-hour power reserve. The ceramic bezel is also frequently highlighted as exceptionally well-done, and the bracelet is described as surprisingly strong. However, multiple owners report issues including bezel looseness, paint chipping, flooding, a broken crown, and a protruding case back causing discomfort. Some find the watch too large, with one owner noting unfinished case sides and a crown pattern that digs into fingers. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph highly for its impressive finishing and value, despite a notable number of reports concerning durability and comfort issues.
