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.

Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its heritage reissue design, small and thin case, and good looks for the price, with some noting exceptional build quality, tactile pushers, and a substantial feel. However, the quartz movement's ticking smoothness and the 24-hour subdial, which functions as an AM/PM indicator rather than a totalizer, are points of criticism for some, leading to perceptions of it being overpriced. Owners report mixed experiences with quality control, with some noting alignment issues, crooked indices, and dial rotation when pushers are depressed, while others report no such issues. On balance, owners appreciate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its distinctive vintage styling and wearability, despite some concerns regarding quality control and the functionality of its subdial.
