Well, a travel bezel is actually much less useful than a dive-time bezel. Timing stuff happens all the time in daily life - if you forget when you started, which happens a lot, the dive-time bezel saves you. Knowing the time in a different time zone is simple addition and subtraction you can do in your head. While you can use any turning bezel with a marker to keep track of start times and then calculate the minutes from there, it is slower and much less elegant without the minute markers - if you are busy doing highly time sensitive things like cooking or work, you have many other things to think about quickly. I think what happens is buyers THINK they would use a travel bezel more often but haven’t had both and are mistaken, then they get a GMT and realize there’s maybe one extra time zone they need to know and they can add and subtract “4” or “7” pretty well in their head - that was me before I had experienced both types of bezels.

I think they call these the poor man's GMT no? lol also for timing stuff, everyone and their mother has a smartphone now so most would use that to time anything. I don't get how people can use watches to time something unless they plan on looking at their watch all the time. Maybe it's just me but when I "time" something, it's usually a countdown time and even when it's not, a smartphone would work better. Though I do also wear an apple watch on my right in mostly for notifications but I use it for timing and other stuff when I'm away from my phone. That's my use case anyways.

As a rare scuba qualified watch addict I think that a "holiday" dive watch is a thing. Lots of people have watches that are only called on toperform as such once a year. This will do, reading the inner minuites can still be used as a countdown...If their customers want this good for them, if you like it you'll overlook it's "faults". I hate power reserves but the gmt I want has one so im gonna buy it because in all other respects its the "best"...Worth noting too that the new Marine National pelagos, designed by combat divers, has a count up bezel and original Paneris didn't have a bezel at all.

Since the diving computer, every traditional divers watch has become somewhat of a redundancy. Yes, some think it is nice to have a back up when you are under water, but divers watches are hardly used anymore for their intended purposes. Owning a real mechanical divers watch has become more of a statement anyhow. That said, I personally prefer my original divers bezel. I use it as a timer, whenever I casually send my eggs to the bottom of the boiling pot.

there are still legit uses for mechanical divers. if you are repeatedly diving the same spot for work, like underwater welding or other types of diving construction work for example, you only need a dive computer for the first couple of times diving the site. then you can use much less cumbersome equipment like a mechanical diving watch because you know the exact depth, duration of work, ascending time etc. you only need to know the time. not every underwater construction contractor has insurance policy that allows their diving team to not use dive computer at all times. but some do. and when they do, divers will ditch dive computer in a heart beat for ease of movement. have a giant thing on the wrist that has a tube running up your arm (for o2 tank readings) that may get caught in rocks is not what people want when doing intensive underwater work.

If you are just diving recreationally and not pushing any limits, anything 20bar+ will do just fine. A 12 hour bezel isn’t going to be massively less useful than a dive bezel. Don’t overstay at depth and make sure you ascend slowly enough. It’s a matter of counting minutes, not seconds. That being said, dive computers nowadays are superb. They’re butt ugly and can only be used for diving, but they’re great for diving and much smaller and cheaper than they used to be.

I had a simple quartz dive computer on the other wrist and I only brought it as back up (in other words to see how it looked in its intended natural environment). I don't necessarily like divers watches over other styles though. As a matter of fact given my 6" wrists I find them rather cumbersome most of the time. I do get the appeal, but I like the toned down versions, not the flashy in your face ones. Wearing a diver all the time to me feels like wearing your hiking shoes to the restaurant or taking your off-roader to work.

Dive computers have replaced the need for the 'dive watch' and doing underwater math. If you want a true dive watch they are out there, but there is nothing wrong with this. 99+% of people (myself included) who buy dive watches very rarely use them in anything deeper than a sink, shower or swimming pool. This looks good, RZE has been really paying attention to their customer base since the beginning, nice to see a company that listens to their customers. Wish them the best with this one.

Awesome review as always Jody! RZE really do know how to make a good looking watch! I think the 12 hour bezel is a bit of an odd choice, I’d personally get much more use out of a timing bezel and it would be far more appropriate for a super compressor dive watch. The lack of the countdown/count up bezel is a big part of the reason why I’ve never added a Seiko Alpinist to my collection as the compass thing doesn’t work for me (and as an aside, why hasn’t someone done an aftermarket drop in replacement timing bezel for the Alpinist? Seems like a no brainier to me 🤷♂️). That being said, RZE are listening to their community and giving them what they want and most collections are gonna have more than a couple of regular bezeled dive watches so this RZE is something different.

I’ll admit that I don’t dive, but I *do* use the timing bezel on my dive watches as a countdown timer. It’s handy for when I’m at the airport and I want to unwind a bit before catching a flight, or when I have to keep an appointment. That said, I think most watch consumers tend to use WR and other dive features as a measure for durability; it’s pretty much the only “objective” measure that watchmakers consistently publish in their marketing. So a compressor complication tends to equal “super-tough” in the minds of consumers who haven’t bothered to educate themselves.

Great video, some pertanant points and raised insightful comments. I almost bought the Endevour, I did buy the Valour and it is a great watch. Last year I decided I wanted a Compressor style watch, I pulled the trigger on the Mitch Mason in the end, then Direnzo brought out their version of a compressor, as the Maelstrom had not arrived I pulled the trigger on the Direnzo deciding to keep and flip whichever I preferred. I did question the actual functionality but it is a diver with enough depth should you choose to dive in it, infact they both have a greater depth rating than the RZE. I feel a bigger issue is actually how we buy them, my Maelstrom still has not arrived so cannot compare, not worn the Direnzo in case I decide to flip it. That Super Compressor is great in yellow but just maybe there will be another compressor or whatever along before it arrives you prefer? Buy em if you like them and wear them, and not think too much about it is maybe best when considering these issues.

Remember, you asked for comments, Jodi. First off, anyone buying a mechanical watch because of superior functionality is suffering from some sort of mental aberration. Why, I just wiped the dust off my Casio Waveceptor and checked the time on my Android Atomic clock app, and it is spot on. Dive watches - Citizen produce ISO Rated dive watches for a few tens of pounds: the vast majority of people don't go diving and the rathio of number of people who dive with their mechanical to people who own them is probably less than that. Hour based GMT functions - completely useless if you live in or want to know the time in lots of places including parts of Australia when your local time is UTC plus or minus an hour integer. Quartz Solar powered watches you don't need to wind up. Quarts watches with accuracy to a few seconds a year. And so on and so on. You, and everyone else viewing your channel, know this. So, this watch is absolute genius (with a caveat later). The design is clean - particularly in the case and bracelet design - how many 'shoulder lug' cases with oyster bracelets (rolex-a-like) are there? This is a little 'genta-esque' maybe, but has clean lines which complement the dial. Personally, I could do without the moving hour ring, but it would give me something to fiddle with occasionally and it would be easier to use than other GMT watches which operate through a pusher. The look, particularly on the yellow and black dial, is striking, it looks comfortable to wear, it creeps in under 40mm diameter, I'd consider buying it. But not for the price being asked for! As for that other one - what a cop out - another me-too explorer dial could have been so much better with a more original dial design. For me, there are better value microbrands our there - I've just received a Clemence Photic Diver (which will never get wet) which I think is absolutely stunning (it certainly gives a Tudor Black Bay 58 a run in looks) and have an Exciton II (this is how bracelets should be done - got one before the watch) and a Baltic MR01 on order. The Baltic is similarly priced to the RZE but the other two a lot less.

Oh man, now I have to come up with some cash. I really like both of these watches. I really like the non super compressor watch with the gradient dial. That is very clean and nice.

A second time zone makes a lot of sense. I have modified two of my Vostok amphibia watches with a 12 hour bezel and I am very pleased with the results. Maybe someday when I plan a dive I'll regret it, nah I'm never.

I haven’t travelled for two years. I do use my dive watch to time appointments and labour time. A dive bezel is more practical for me.

I find a timing bezel can be used as a second time zone bezel more easily than an hour bezel can be used as a countdown timer. Good looking watch though.

Good to see more watches with a 12 hr bezel. It is an easy GMT option without the expensive movement and no one really uses the dive timer on a dive watch.

I have one with a 12hr bezel and find it to be the most useful. Easy to track decompression time (eggs and tea) Easy to track hours to helicopter extraction (pills) and handy when piloting (holidays)

The yellow is a stunning dial. I'd have preferred an external dive time bezel, but can appreciate the smooth movement of the internal bezel function. Can we have both?

I really dig the white dial one, but the high price stops it from being an impulse purchase. Maybe if it wasn't titanium or had the water resistance, the price would of worked for me.

the best thing is you can use the rotating internal bezel as a gmt time

I'm fine with the 12 hour bezel. I don't dive and don't swim well either. It does look too plain though. It needs some dots between the numerals to break up the void between them. In the form you showed it looks like someone stuck a nylon ring around the dial.

The reason I have wanted something like this is the "lockable" second timezone. I may be wrong but have only seen the Glycine 24 and one of the Yemma's (dont like their movements.

I love it, a really attractive well made watch. On your question, it strikes me that this aesthetics vs utility question crops up all the time. Do people buy their watches because of how it looks or what it can do? Personally I love a 200m dive watch but I can barely swim, I like a good field watch but I am not outdoorsy any more (used to be a long distance walker) and love a pilot watch but if your on a plane and I’m in the cockpit, I hope you’ve got plenty of insurance… This is a business decision and the business listened to its customers, which is admirable (Seiko take note).. but that’s just me

It looks cool but a 12 hour bezel on a diver case... I don't see it. I do scuba diving, nobody uses a dive watch to dive nowadays... But a diver watch should have a diver bezel. I think it is quite pricey at 700$. For that price I would go for a Certina, for instance. Great video Jody. Keep the good work!

I have much more use for a GMT than I do a diver, so makes more sense for me. But, I do not care for the two different color hand sets. If you want to have an additional color added, I'd prefer the second hand to be the one that gets the alternate color. Throws off the symmetry. JMHO. Put that compressor GMT dial on the "explorer version" though, and I'd be all over it!

Whatever anyone says a field watch with good water resistance is always good, especially in the northern hemisphere where fields are often wet most of the year

I love that brands listen to what the customers actually want rather then just pushing it on to them. So long it is balanced though. With that I mean that the design shouldn't fully rely on the customer only. Just some of the details and options.

I find a 12h bezel with a triangle at the 12 is the best of both worlds as long as the dial has a minute track. If you do use the bezel to time things I find a regular bezel better than an internal bezel.

Love the case shape. Nice angles . Just can’t get past the Miyota. I’ve nothing against Miyota but at 600/700 I think there should be something more classy and less nosy. An eta2824 clone is the perfect compromise.

I'll take the grey dial resolute thank you... It looks very nice. Only downside... Price! The super compressor is not my cup of tea! Micro's are great because you get top spec's for your money... Once you go over 500usd there are other options. Again a great review... Keep em comming

Great review. I agree that the watch blurs the design demarcation line a bit but not in a bad way. Kudos to the designer for listening to his customers. Sure wish that Seiko did some of that and paid more attention to quality! The colorways are well done though I agree that the light blue minute hand on the white dial is lacking in visibility. To me the blue and orange is the pick of the litter. I quite like this but, alas, a bit rich for my current budget.

I read an article that talked about “Dive Watches” and things like helium escape values are generally useless. As most deep divers that wear helmets and go waaaaay down are normally fed air constantly and it’s all about the job in hand and not how much air they have left. And for me? I like a waterproof watch. It gives me confidence in knowing I can swim and get it wet. Without scaring the chaffinch smugglers off me. And if I went on holiday to a different time zone I could use the bezel. Is Titanium always the go to? No. But if like me you have a 17cm wrist then it is if you go past 41mm (depending on lug to lug) as it wears better. BUT would I spend this much on one? Well, they are now getting near quite decent Watch territory especially if you go pre owned.

Agreed on the price point, it's pushing it at U$600+ and unlike Zelos, it won't hold re-sale value so well. As for compressor/supercompressor/standard diver, it's a moot point. Sealing tech has improved since the 60's there's no need to go this way aside from design. It's pretty and the inner rotating bezel is always a cool thing. One of those watches i'll compliment others on choosing, but not buy myself.

The white (light blue) dial model is nice BUT, what were they thinking with that white minute hand? It should have the same black outline as the hour hand.
