Screwdriver, Spring Bar Tool and Potential Strap Pairings:
Wera 1.2mm Screwdriver - This is my go to for bracelet adjustments. Very inexpensive and high quality. I recommend keeping a couple on hand: amzn.to/3jQV6pj
(Recommend watching this video with sizing tips - • How to Easily Size Wat... )
Alternative Screwdriver - If the above version is sold out, this Wera is great too, just a little bit more expensive - amzn.to/3spF2ho
Bergeon Spring Bar Tool - amzn.to/3O0xqM7
Helm Canvas Strap - Excellent quality and sufficient rigidity for heavier watches. Highly recommend and several colors and 20/22mm available: amzn.to/3ddWD60
Ritche Canvas Strap - Many colors and sizes: amzn.to/3vyo4PO
Helm FKM Rubber Strap - Another fantastic bang for buck offering from Helm. Available in several colors and 20/22mm: amzn.to/3fKK438

Wish this came with a high beat to have a nice sweep on that dial
They recently launched a Resolute Pro model with a higher beat movement. Maybe the same will happen with the Endeavour in the future 🤔
That dial is absolutely stunning! 💙
It is a great looking dial! Cheers
thanks for the review. I grew to like the RZE watches more and more. This Glacier dial is gorgeous. Sadly i got a couple ZELOS and a Sinn u50 so i dont actually need more divers/adventurer watches :P
Thanks for watching! It is a sweet dial. I enjoy what RZE is doing as well. You can't go wrong with Zelos and Sinn though. Cheers
Nice review, Jonathan! Great❤dial and overall look. And I like the date window. Curious what you’re thinking of that has coated titanium and Miyota, Zelos?
Thank you very much! I really like the Endeavour model as well. It's a strong contender as my favorite RZE model (the Fortitude probably being its main competition). Yep, the Zelos Mako Titanium was the main one I had in mind (coated Ti, Toolless Micro Clasp, Miyota 9 series, etc.). Cheers
Don't know why I haven't added an RZE to my collection as it really offers everything I want in a microbrand tool watch. Possibly just need an upgrade to a miyota for me to run out of excuses.
They do nail the GADA/tool watch category, across the lineup. There are a couple current Miyota options in the Resolute V2 (still available) and Fortitude (presently sold out, but I believe an update is coming). If you do decide to grab one, using my affiliate link is greatly appreciated. Cheers
The watch is built well and light. However it was not regulated and ran more than 20s per day fast. I own several watches with NH35 movements that run much better (under 5s per day). In order to improve this I brought it to a watch maker who made it much more accurate (under 5s per day). As he was closing the watch and testing for water resistance it turned out not to be water resistant at all (!). A gasket at the crown was missing. Therefore I would like to point out the very poor quality control with this watch and it's therefore really overpriced. Especially when RZE is bragging with all of their features and one of the most important ones (water resistance) is a failure.
Thanks for sharing your experience. With respect to the regulation, I wonder if it was a bit magnetized. That's well within NH35 specs, but I agree it's a lot more deviation than I've typically experienced (including with many RZE watches). The lack of crown gaskets is surprising. I've generally had solid experiences with their QC and overall quality. Cheers
