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.

Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II for its cool retro 70s vibe, faithful reissue of a thin vintage design, and excellent build quality for its price, with particular commendation for its tactile pushers and top-notch Milanese strap. The watch is noted for its substantial, weighty feel and well-aligned indices, and the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement provides a sweeping chronograph hand. However, some owners find the meca-quartz ticking not very smooth, the left subdial a "useless" 24h indicator, and the watch overpriced compared to similar models. Several owners report disappointing alignment issues with indices, and one owner experienced the dial rotating slightly when chronograph pushers are depressed or when adjusting the time, with these issues not resolved during service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II highly for its retro styling and perceived value, despite some recurring quality control concerns.

From video reviewers

The watch's vintage-inspired design and value at its price point are consistently praised. The meca-quartz movement is mentioned as a feature by multiple reviewers.
