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.

Longines MASTER COLLECTION

The Longines Master Collection is widely praised for its excellent value, with owners and reviewers highlighting its attractive finishing and classic, dressy styling. The L893 caliber offers a 72-hour power reserve, and the collection includes models with complications like annual calendars and moon phase chronographs at competitive prices. Some owners note that the bracelet lacks micro-adjustments for a perfect fit, and one reviewer found the case finishing homogenous with pushers that felt cheap. The Master Collection Chronograph is noted for its excellent fit and finish and vintage theme, while the Small Seconds variant's dial features engraved Breguet numerals but the subdial cuts off the "7" asymmetrically, and its case is considered slightly thicker than ideal. One owner reported the moon phase setting mechanism on their chronograph may require service, and the Annual Calendar variant has 30m water resistance.
