What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pagani Design PD-1664

Pagani Design PD-1664 owners widely praise its value for the $56 price, comfortable rubber strap, and attractive design, with one owner calling the "meteorite" dial a masterpiece for the price and another noting the 20mm lug width makes it a strap monster. However, multiple owners report significant quality control issues, including a broken chronograph module, a central seconds hand and 60-minute sub-dial stopping after 60 minutes, a crooked crown, and a broken stem. Some also criticize the faux endlinks, the non-genuine meteorite dial, and poor contrast between the silver hands and dial, with one owner finding the rubber strap felt cheap. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1664 highly for its exceptional value and striking dial, despite recurring quality control concerns.

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.
