Heard such great things about Vaer, that I had to order. I received it today and love everything about it, but it seems a little small for my wrist. Looking for and thoughts on this?
Can now confirm that the Vaer G2 is rated to survive a ditch off the mountain bike into a gravel trail puddle. Came down a hill waaaaaay to fast and lost it face (and watch) first into the mud.
Hello,
I was looking at the caseback of my D5 Auto purchased just a few days ago and noticed there was a black string like rubber on the bottom of the caseback.
I did some research and it might be a dislodged O-Ring gasket. Can anyone confirm?
Couldn’t be happier, little dip in Lake Michigan for the fourth.
Tossed an old timex strap on my 42mm D5 Auto and tossed the rest of my collection into the Vaer watch roll I forgot I had 😅
Still obsessed with this watch and its simplicity
Brought my two Vaer watches on a vacation with me and they’ve been trusty as always. I’ve had both for about six months and so far I am very happy. The cream dial RS1 is a fantastic daily and I’m stunned with the accuracy. The C5 Solar is a beast and has been a great companion for swimming, hiking and all kinds of adventures. They are great watches for the price and I hope to get many years out of them.
Love this watch but I have it in black and always seem to prefer wearing it over the blue so I am looking to sell. Anyone around me that would be interested? Long Island New York. Both straps included
My 5th Vaer. Usually don’t wear anything bigger than 38mm but this fits perfect on my 6.75” wrist. Very happy with it.
I'm trying to decide between a Vaer S5 40 or 42mm and an Addiesdive MY-H2 and want to hear some opinions or thoughts when comparing the two. My wants in a watch are: 40mm+ sized brushed stainless steel case, black dial, sapphire crystal and screwdown crown. I really would like a sweeping movement, but its not a deal breaker.
I know the S5 wont have a sweeping movement, but it checks all the other boxes. The Addiesdive watch checks almost all the boxes, but is only 39mm (almost there), but it does have an automatic sweeping movement which give it points. Is there anything I should know about the S5's Miyota 2035 movement vs the Addiesdive's NH35?
I have a healthcare worker discount which brings both watches in the same cost window, as I would want to buy different bands for he Addiesdive where the Vaer I already like the bands it comes with.
TIA for any input.
Just noticed, what looks like, my hour hand is behind and not landing on the hour marker correctly on my G2 Rootbeer.
First photo at 12:01 and the hour hand hasn’t met 12 yet.
Second photo, hour hand obscured by minute hand but you can see more of the hour hand peeking through the left side.
Haven’t seen this before in any of my watches.
I was waiting on the brushed case to come back in stock, but saw the DLC and decided to send it. No regrets, it’s a very sharp looking watch. The mil discount is a nice touch too.
Loved the watch, took good care of it .

This watch consistently sells out within a couple hours on Vaer website, selling because I just purchased another watch with similar aesthetic and this is redundant in my collection. $700 plus shipping - I am firm on price. Still has warranty until 3/15/2028
These guys are awesome for travel. Tracking multiple time zones for work while traveling, and can survive all the things in the woods and water and of course the pub
My wife got me a nice Vaer (the 39mm DS2 in quartz, black) back a bit before father’s day. Unfortunately, she picked a model with no date (and I need me a date). So we returned it only to find the correct model completely out of stock (and Vaer was very slow responding to e-mails about the return — they still haven’t responded to the most recent one). So I decided to try getting the right model on Ebay from a reseller. After waiting about a week on him, he responded that he too was actually out of stock. So I headed back to Vaer only to find they’re still out of a stock.
How long do restocks take? How do I get this company to take my money lol
Hey folks, first time posting here.
I have a D5 pacific that I recently started wearing a lot, and only recently noticed that the crown seemed a bit crooked when pulled all the way out to the time setting position. I can't see enough of the stem to check if the stem itself is bent or just the crown head.
Doesn't feel grindy or weird when adjusting the time or when winding, which is why I only recently noticed it. I'm super careful with my watches so Im 100% sure I never banged it or put undue pressure on it.
Asked Vaer and they told me that this COULD be manufacturing variance. Since it doesn't feel off ajd everything functions smooth, they said it's likely not a cause for concern but to let them know if something DOES go wrong.
The watch is already years old and runs with no issue so Im not immediately concerned. Im also located overseas so I'll probably only resort to send it in for repair IF something does go wrong. but just wanted to check if anyone has similar experience or know this can be a problem with continued use.
I think I watched basically all D5 YouTube reviews and some did note wobbly crown. This one isn't wobbly - just crooked. The angle stays when turning the crown but screws in fine.
Any anecdote or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Just got my C3 Korean in the mail today! I went with the upgraded strap and absolutely love how it looks. I have a smaller wrist and usually buy larger pieces, so this is my first time going for a smaller watch face, but I'm really liking the fit. I just found out about this brand a few weeks ago when I ran into a friend at an anniversary party and he was wearing one and told me a little bit about it and then I found out that there was this model and they were Los Angeles brand which being from Los Angeles was already cool! The whole vibe and color scheme are so cool, and I love that it’s an homage to field watches from the Korean War, complete with the caseback stamping. Also, my grandfather was in the Korean War, so it reminds me of him and gives the watch a really personal touch.
