RZE Endeavour

I like the look of it, I think? However, the brand name makes me think of "Hm is it a member of Wu-tang Clan?" esp with that color XDDDDD

I’ve got the Ascentus gmt and think it’s very good. Well made, comfortable and looks great. Their customer service is also very good I also have a collab piece they did with Big Idea Design and wanted a bracelet for it and they were really helpfull.

I have this exact watch, and I love it. I also own the previous versions of the Resolute and the Valour. No complaints whatsoever.

500 quid is like 1000 Aussie pesos to me and, if I had that, I wouldn't be buying an obscure brand out of Asia. Of course, without knowing what really attracts you to the watch, it's hard to give advice. Is it just the colourway, for example? Is it 'the outdoors' fairy dust that RZE sprinkles on its watches? If the latter, why not consider something like a Victorinox Fieldforce GMT and have a Swiss made watch with a 5 year warranty? Again, without knowing why you're hot for the RZE it's hard to give advice. Many contenders.

I’ve had my Ascentus GMT for about six months, and it’s been a champ. Feels really well made; super light but not cheap feeling. The Ultrahex hardness coating seems to be legit as well, since the literal only scratches I’ve put in it are on the uncoated caseback.

RZE seems to get some props from the usual trusted Youtubers as well (Jody, Dave, Shane, etc…). Similarly, I had no issues with my buying experience, it arrived quickly and well packed, with great looks, all day wear comfort, and a solid movement.

As for value for money, I think the price they’re asking is right on for a full titanium auto (yes it’s grade 2, but that’s technically a purer alloy, as I understand it) and like I said, the Ultrahex coating seems like the real deal.

Thanks for the detailed review! I’ve never owned nor handled a titanium watch so I’m interested in how it would wear on a day to day basis.

I've got the Resolute SC in yellow. As far as titanium for everyday, I'm a fan. I've got an old Casio pathfinder that wore like a dream in Ti. It does feel a little weird at first because you're holding metal, but without the usual heft, or dull clink noise. The links rattle a little more when I'm putting it on and off. But once it is on the lightness is a bonus in my mind.

I've only had it for a couple weeks so no durability comments yet, but the process has been on all their watches, and reviewers were generally positive on the coating.

I picked this model because I really like the SC internal bezel look, but wanted a 12hr bezel (which isn't as common as I'd like...). The SC, uses a Miyota 90S5 (vs Seiko NH35) so that is a welcome upgrade as well, but probably does impact the price. The fact that it is an actual supercompressor is an interesting detail, but has little practical impact for me personally.

BL: Love it!

I’ve had the titanium TurboTeal for about a year and I love it. Super durable and slick looking. They only made 500 of those so I’m hoping they don’t make more so it remains an obscure watch haha

I would 100% recommend and RZE. Great designs, all Ti, comfy bracelets. And they certainly are not a unknown micro brand.
