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-1708

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1708's solid build and surprisingly high-quality finishing for its price point, with one owner noting a comfortable 38mm case and a well-made tapered mesh bracelet featuring a signed safety clasp. However, the lume is described as a bit weak, though evenly applied. Accuracy with the VK64 movement averaged around +6.5 seconds per month over 14 months. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1708 highly for its value and bracelet quality at its price.

From video reviewers

The Pagani Design PD-1708 features a reliable and accurate Japanese VK64 movement. A notable weakness is the lume brightness, which could be improved, particularly in low-light conditions. Reviewers disagree on the bezel diameter, with some users potentially finding it small for the 46mm case length, while others may not have an issue with it.

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.
