What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Naos XL

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL for its versatile Bauhaus design, domed sapphire crystal, and value, with some finding its larger size comfortable and refined for its price. However, opinions are split on its aesthetic appeal, with one owner finding the hands and face underwhelming, while others appreciate the minimalistic dial. The date font is noted as too small to be useful by one owner, and the stock strap is generally considered basic or prone to wear. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting a Miyota movement running fast and another noting +13 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL highly for its Bauhaus aesthetics and affordability, despite some reservations about the movement and strap.

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.
