What's covered under Vaer's warranty?
Vaer offers aΒ 2-year limited warrantyΒ on all watches, covering any defects in materials or workmanship under normal use. If a watch experiences issues due to these defects, Vaer will repair or replace it at no cost to you.

- Damage from accidents, misuse, or improper handling.
- Normal wear and tear (e.g., scratches, aging of straps).
- Unauthorized repairs or modifications.
To make a warranty claim, youβll need proof of purchase and should contact Vaerβs customer service team. Full details and instructions for submitting a claim can be found on the Vaer support page.
Can I use 3rd party straps with my Vaer watch?
Yes, you can! All Vaer watches featureΒ interchangeable 20mm straps, making them fully compatible with any other 20mm straps on the market. This means you can easily customize your Vaer watch with third-party straps to suit your style or needs.
Alternatively, you can use your Vaer straps with any other 20mm watches, which is the most common lug-width size in the watch industry.
Please note, however, that ourΒ metal bracelets are custom-fitΒ to each specific watch case due to the precision form-fit of the end-links (where the bracelet meets the case). These are not interchangeable with other watch models or third-party bracelets.

We are actively working to expand this list and make Vaer watches more accessible. For now, we remain focused on delivering exceptional service through our online store, ensuring that every customer gets the best possible experience when purchasing directly from us.
What does the name Vaer mean?
We came up with the name "Vaer" in the summer of 2016, about six months after starting the company. The name is our invention, created to be unique, easily identifiable, and meaningfulβqualities that were critical for securing a trademark and building a recognizable brand.
While Vaer is deeply rooted in American identity, we also wanted a name with universal appeal that didnβt tie the brand to any specific nationality. Inspired by horologyβs strong European heritage and our personal interest in 20th-century European modernist design, we drew inspiration from a variety of languages across the region.
Here are a few of the linguistic roots and associations for "Vaer":
- Norwegian: "Vær" means "weather."
- Danish: "Vær" means "to exist."
- Old English: "Wer" (pronounced Vaer) means "man".
- French: "Vert" (pronounced Vaer) means "green."
- German: "Wehr" (also pronounced Vaer) means "defender" or "protector."
- Latin: "Ver" is the root of "veritas," meaning "truth."
Ultimately, we chose the name Vaer because itβs a pleasant-sounding word with positive meanings across a variety of languages, perfectly aligning with our values of craftsmanship, resilience, and universal functionality.
