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 XS

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XS for its simple, awesome design, domed sapphire crystal, and clean hands, with one owner highlighting the beautiful blue mother-of-pearl dial and top-notch build quality on a special edition. It is recommended as a durable, refined daily wear watch for around $270, suitable for casual and formal occasions. However, one owner found the Sternglas Naos XS to have a cheap feel and a face resembling a toy, noting it wears smaller than expected, while another described the automatic movement as a bit noisy. On balance, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XS highly for its refined design and value, with specific praise for the mother-of-pearl dial on special editions.

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.
