r/VaerWatches

I have come to detest dates on watch dials and I believe the majority of watch lovers do too.

Many watch designers often make them so small they are barely readable.

Let's face it in today's world watches are worn for their looks since everyone now carries smart phones.

To include a date or even worse a day date on a watch intended for diving or for battle is a travesty.

I don't know how to create a poll on Reddit so if you know how please someone do so.

My question now is Date YES or Date NO..

Hey everyone, I just picked up the DS2 Meridian quartz and added the $90 oyster-style bracelet. While I love the look, the clasp keeps popping open to an annoying degree. I’m trying to determine if this is a manufacturing defect or just a known issue with this specific bracelet. I'm leaning toward returning it… has anyone else here had similar issues?

Got home from work and wanted something lighter than the lunar pilot on bracelet i wore to day. Man this watch never disappoints when i throw it on. Lightweight and compact for me, just love it.

Got my first Vaer in the mail today, very happy with it, I also have another Vaer on the way, the S5 field white calendar 40mm standard quartz for that one. I like the dual straps and the ease of switching straps out for one or the other. So happy to have found this brand.

NWA: G2 Meridian Navy/Red “Pepsi”

Just received this today, love it! I had a G2 Pacific Polar before and was missing it, but didn’t want to re-buy something I voluntarily sold. So I stepped outside of my comfort zone and went for the “Pepsi”. I’ve had as many as 10 Vaer watches before, now I’m at 3. Cheers!

C4 Tactical Field Solar - an absolutely fun watch

I've had my C4 solar (DLC in all black) for about a week now after my friend's recommendation and it's quickly become one of my favorite 'throw-on' watches in the box. So much so that I haven't even had the chance to try other straps. It's been in the kitchen, working in the yard, on runs, and at concerts.

It feels solid, 41.5mm actually looks nice on a 7" wrist (never mind my photo angle here, i think it appears smaller), and the lume is bright. Love the raised numerals and dial layout.

My only nitpick here is that my seconds aren't quite aligned but I understand lots of Vaers have that. For the money it's been a ton of fun. I'm not a tactical/outdoorsy/hunting/fishing guy that would warrant this watch but I took a chance and glad I did.

First Vaer

Wanted a white dial and GADA for the weekends with my kids. Opted for the quartz so I could just grab it and go. For the price, I’m quite pleased with it! Nice that they are from LA too, since thats where I live. May take a trip down to their showroom in Venice soon. Pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Twice now when wearing the recon pvd single pass strap a spring bar has popped out of place from what I would describe as relatively minor contact with counters (in the kitchen) and appliances (dryer) while doing chores around the house.

Can anyone recommend a sturdier/better designed spring bar that fits the A5 tactical field automatic and isn’t so susceptible to popping out? I love the watch and the strap, itself, is fine, but I don’t have much confidence wearing the latter because of the spring bars.

My First Vaer

I always wanted a Dirty Dozen watch but don’t want to spring for a Vertex at this time. I loved the clean design of the Vaer Dirty Dozens. I think it’s the best of the homages from a very well reputed brand. How does it look on the subdued grey/black NATO?
