Hey Ben, I love your videos and have a large appreciation for sticking to your standards and not "selling out"! So many take the cash and say screw their subscribers. I keep getting ads for a watch group called Meister. If you have a moment maybe you could look into them. They're averaging between $150.00 and $300.00 dollars U.S. I've considered a purchase because I like the look but I can't find out much about them. That may be because they're new or because they're bad. Anyway. Keep the awesome content coming and stay safe and happy.

@@thomasderouin72 Meister's site looks pretty bad, like another cheap aliexpress drop shipped marking project. If you inspect the page some images are named "screenshot." I'm guessing they photoshopped over some Instagram screen shots. Meistersinger is also already a real watch company so the name is kind of a rip as well. Just my 2 cents.

They did it: No date version! And more: Myota Hi-beat movement. I think worth the pickup, for sure

Man, I really like that case design. Those sharp angle really give it a sporty, agressive look but the subdued design is simple and has great balance.

You should cover Zelos. I collect higher end brands nowadays but I still gravitate towards Zelos in the lower priced category. Their build quality is amazing for the price.

One small correction: you said that the whole case is brushed but it's clearly actually sandblasted.

I love your reviews! Its sad that in Brazil if you dont have much money microbrands are out of the box. If a microbrand watch costs $300, after taxes and importation fees we would endup paying something around $700, witch makes it way too expensive, considering that our coin (Real) also is not that strong compared to Dollar.

I bought RZE's Endeavor as a Christmas present for myself, and it's become one of my favorite watches in my collection. My only complaint is that the date window is too small, and I should've chosen the no-date version instead. Otherwise, it's a neat little watch!

Apart from the little issues it's definitely a great looking and solid offering. You should try and get ahold of their newer pilot style watch, now that is one I think you'd like. Great review as always mate.

I have to say that it is a unique take on a dress watch and looks pretty sharp. The less-is-more look on this piece really works.

Nice review, Ben! Could you do a collection video once? Like shown at 6:40. I am very interested to see what pieces are part of your collection.

Loved the scene when you was on the plop station

Hello Ben, can you review the Orient Star RE-AU0004B? I think it’s the closest competitor to the Seiko SARB by Orient.

You made me buy EFV-110D and MTS-100L and i love them both. i keep watching your videos and hope for more recomendations. I like Casio Lineage LCW-M100TSE-1AER but but it's kinda hard to get and a bit pricey where i live.

Hi Ben, love the channel and research you always do. Last night i saw that Victorinox is also manufacturer of watches. And i think the INOX range hase an interesting and good look (especially the full metal ones). They even use a Sellita SW200-1 movement. Is there any chance you could review one? Cheers!

I’ve got a boldr field medic that I wear daily for work. Absolutely love it and it’s 18 months old now, hasn’t missed a beat. It gets a lot of compliments too which surprised me because I got it due to it being understated. I Wouldn’t swap it for this.

And Ben, how it’s affordable when most of their Watch model are like closer to $1,000 Canadian dollars???

Yeah, I know. Every Watch channel I go to I make the point of Exchange for different countries. They don’t seem to comprehend that we pay 30%+ on the bill exchange to US funds, never mind € & £. A $700.00 piece goes automatically to $1,000.00, then I look to other watches.

Looks pretty smart! Nice review 👍🏼

I’ve had the RZE Resolute delivered today in mint green and CANNOT Wait to get home! 😅

I really wanna get a hold of the new RZE pilot's watch. It reminds me of the Oris Big Crown Pro Pilot, not a bad watch to be compared to.

Great video. I particularly enjoyed the toilet scenes. Who says watch nerds don't have a sense of humor ? I like the case shape and the great date window concealment.

This one reminds me of the Formex Essence, with that angular case.

Looks like a nice watch! It would be interesting to see what watches are your most used right now! Greetings from Sweden

I'd be interested to hear your take on Hesili NY, assuming you havent covered them yet.

If put 4Hz movement and little shinny dial I could consider., Nice video.

The taper of the lugs coming down from 3 and 9 o clock, make it look a bit weird, as it appear to be a lot fatter than it is diameter wise. Maybe a 22mm lug width would help, but it reminds me of the Lunar Pilot with its weird disproportionate lug width to case size.

All in all, hard to fault, if grey is your thing, but other colour options exist. Ben, you say the palette doesn't stimulate : Can't help noting your plain and pale grey sweat top.... Sleuthful and informed content. Thanks 💫✨

Got an opinion on Lilienthal Berlin or oroboros? Both have offerings I'm interested in

I have the latest RZE Resolute version in C3 Lume with canvas strap on order . This is going to be my field/beater. The latest version has an Explorer style dial, no date and is thinner.

It's a handsome field watch, looks great....although not having had one in hand the review I've seen plus comments from owners all seem extremely positive.....the dial is clean, minimal text which does appeal....will definitely be adding one if there pieces to my collection, they are on the list....you did note a couple if QC issues which is unusual, perhaps touch base to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves....it would be worth your time....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

Hey Ben, could you review titan automatics please?

Hey Ben the new Resolute's have been announced. Am thinking of ordering one but would like to see some content on them. Hope you will do a follow up :) The Yellow looks the best in my opinion.

You should check out the new RZE Resolute Supecompressor watch it looks like a straight-up rip of the Boldr Expedition v2. Like hella sus especially with Travis having parted from Boldr. A video talking about that or comparing it would be rad.

Hey Ben Can you do a review on a Reiser alpen date 🤩

Would like to see this with an ETA or Selita S200 movement, NH35 is reliable but very very common

Hello Ben, Can you make a review on BERTUCCI watches...it would be really helpful!

A review request: I wonder whether you can do a review of Wolfpoint Co. - a Chicago based microbrand. Their watches have a very strong minimalist visual appeal with decent specifications. I'm curious where they rank on the spectrum. Thank you in advance, regardless of whether you'll have an opportunity to do so.

The Resolute is a fantastic tool watch that I bought for a trip to Hawaii and Alaska and it is a great looking, yet simple and rugged watch. It is fantastically light on the silicone strap I got for it and you can take it anywhere. The only downside on my white full lumed dial is that the lume is weak and is almost impossible to read in the dark after only a little while. I couldn't use it in the dark on the plane.

I've been looking at their endavours for a while, especially the yellow dial.

Recent I purchased a 1973 Omega 1012. It is a 23 jewel 2880 beat automatic. It has gorgeous blue dial. It is so accurate. A Updated watch copy 40mm, mine is a 38mm. This is my first Omega with a calendar. I swore I would never own one! But is such a beautiful watch. It came out at $500. With tax and freight. My watch guy said I stole it for what I paid

ETA makes high-accuracy quartz movements that are +-10 seconds a year. Should be offered as options as well.

I have RZE's Endeavour in Medallion Yellow, and it's a gorgeous watch. The one thing I didn't like was the big, long, useless box it came in. In contrast, my Traska Summiteer came in a compact and very useful travel pouch. I think RZE should throw out the oversize boxes and get real.

I have the same Endeavour, and definitely prefer it to the Resolute. And I agree on the box/pouch -- I'm never going to use a travel pouch that requires me to split the bracelet. I hope that RZE makes a second attempt at a field watch in the future, as I'd like a smaller option.

Nice review, great close-up shots. But i am confused about the material of the bracelet. I assumed it is titanium and on their website it says it is titanium. But in this video, there is stainless steel written on the clasp. So now i am not sure is it titanium or stainless steel, or only clasp is stainless steel. No mention of this in the review.

Just won the bid for this exact watch on eBay 😂 cheers Ben

lol!!! hey is it boldr or formex that has that meteroite dial? or rze?

RZE are probably my favourite Microbrand at the moment. Love the watches Travis produces, obviously he'll find some influence from Boldr after being a part of the company. However, I do feel like he has his own creative flares that are quite apparent in each piece.

2022 model endeavor out. Please pist a follow up review on that.

Reminds me so much of the Formex Essence

Confucius says man who drops Watch in Toilet is going to have Shitty Time!! 🤣

They're coming out with a new Resolute watch mid March?

I like my Boldr Venture, but u really wish the titanium bracelet wasn't $100. I know I can get other bracelets which I have, but I find I don't wear it as often as I would if I had a nice titanium bracelet for it. Maybe I should check out this RZE.

Is it that the logo looks like the London 2020 Olympics Logo? I think it does. I preferred the brand name on the dial.

Ben, please check out Islander Watches from Mark at Long Island Watch.

I'd take the Citizen instead.

That's one nice looking watch.

It's a pretty nice watch!

There isn’t just one type of coating to the titanium of Citizen watches.

Nice

It looks like a nice watch, but I'm not seeing $400 US there. Not unless drilled lugs are worth a lot more than I'm thinking.

You should checkout titans watches, they have amazing watches at a fraction of the price.

I get bad vibes from people who keep inventing new brands. If you actually want to build a proper watch brand you'd stick with it and slowly build its reputation. When you just keep coming up with new brands and similar products, that looks like you just wanna get rich. That's not the sort of people I want to give my money to. New watch brand, old watch brand, I prefer people who are trying to actually build a brand.

RZE has a nice diver too. $500 is high, but some great looking colored dial options. 200M solar movement would be wonderful video to come 😀

2:56 I think the watch looks huge.

Personally, not a fan of titanium. That dial however, looks great.

Citizen Promaster Tough with a Seiko dial

I forget that you're English and got confused when you pronounced RZE as R. Zeddee haha This goes to show how much the internet has broken the barriers between countries. I can completely ignore English accents nowadays as an American because they're nothing out of the ordinary And I must add, it does look like the case and bracelet are the same tone of gray, but since they've been cut at different angle the light never hits them in exactly the same way which in turn makes them look different colors.

Looks a lot like a formex to be fair

Looks a bit bulky for a 40mm case

seems all is great about this model, except to me, this seems abit too BIG to the dial ...and case size.

They do look cool. Look Ben

Do not service an NH35! At least not at a genuine watchmaker. It costs twice as much as a new movement.

This watch is sold out and has been for a while... they're not even still making it as far as I know. They are currently pushing the new "Fortitude" pilots watch. You're a few years late reviewing a watch that you can't buy.
