What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette is praised for its vintage-inspired roulette dial with multi-sector, multi-layer, and asymmetrical design, and faceted dauphine hands. Reviewers highlight the dial's depth created by contrasting textures like circular brushing and glossy or grained sectors, and the 36mm case's vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs. The watch uses a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement. However, reviewers note the micro-rotor movement can feel rattly and loose, producing a jangly sound when tapped. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Roulette's distinctive dial design and vintage aesthetic, despite the noted movement characteristics.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific 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.
