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.

HELM Togiak Expedition UTC

The HELM Togiak Expedition UTC is widely praised for its unique design and excellent lume, with owners appreciating its lightweight titanium case and 200m ISO 6425 capability. Some owners note that its 42mm diameter wears smaller than expected, while others find the size and weight potentially unsuitable for smaller wrists, and the stock bracelet or strap uncomfortable. On balance, owners rate the HELM Togiak Expedition UTC highly for its distinctive design and robust build at its price point.
