What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT

Owners praise the Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT's well-executed proportions and smooth GMT bezel action. One owner reports quality control issues such as misaligned hands and dust under the crystal, attributing these to the sub-$500 price point. The watch features a caller-style quartz movement for quick-set date adjustment and its lume is functional, though noted as a step below other models. Overall, owners find the Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT offers good value for its price, despite potential quality control concerns.
