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.

Longines SPIRIT

Owners widely praise the Longines SPIRIT 37mm for its excellent value, refined finishing, and vintage-inspired design, with many highlighting its applied Arabic numerals and appealing dials. The smooth winding action and technical capabilities like the 72-hour power reserve and silicon hairspring are also noted strengths. However, some owners find the bracelet to be "tinny" and light, and the lack of tool-less micro-adjustments on the bracelet is a recurring point of dissatisfaction. The date window at 3 o'clock is polarizing, with some disliking its placement and color, and the lugs are perceived by some as long for the case size. One owner expressed concern about the serviceability of the exclusive L888.4 movement. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Longines SPIRIT a highly competent and well-executed watch for its price, with its design and finishing being the primary draws.

From video reviewers

The watch features a COSC-certified automatic movement. Reviewers noted the excellent finishing on the case and applied numerals. The lume brightness was cited as a weakness.
