WATERPROOF WARRANTY

 

"LIKE THREE WATCHES IN ONE"

"Bought a watch from Costco that was supposed to be waterproof and it leaked. Decided to try Vaer, and love it. This is the best watch I have ever owned. I have three bands; one for surfing, one for working and the upgraded stainless steel for weekends, it’s like having three watches in one."

"SO HAPPY TO BUY AMERICAN"

"I have always been a "buy American" type of person, and I am so happy to finally be able to buy a watch that is mostly American made. It is amazing to me that you can buy an American assembled watch, and a sapphire crystal for less than $300! "

"STELLAR BUILD QUALITY"

"In my 70+ years on the planet, I've had countless watches from all over the world. I have somewhere around 100 watches now, including Omega and Rolex. But, Vaer caught my eye. Looks, style, build-quality, all 'stellar' and just what I like. So, thus far I'm a 'completely satisfied customer'! "

"Proud of my watches"

"I've bought three watches from them now and plan on getting more. My hope is that a potential customer is doing exactly as I did, doing my research, somewhat jaded and skeptical, trying to mull through the BS. I can assure you that what you see is what you get, solid understated quality. If you're looking for a timepiece that is made from great materials, assembled in the USA with a variety of classic designs, look no further."

"500 miles and still ticking"

"I wore my Vaer throughout our pilgrimage across Spain's Camino de Santiago. We hiked 500 miles and weight, performance and functionality were critical. The timepiece performance was exceptional and the water proofing features came in handy during rain soaked days. The nylon bands were perfect during the day and the leather strap was a nice upgrade for after hours R&R. Kudos to the VAER team for optimizing form, fit, and functionality. "

"My favorite watch ever"

"I've owned the first edition of the D7 Arctic for about a year and a half now, and I can say definitively that it is hands-down my favorite watch I've ever owned. It is stylish, reserved, tough, and accurate. Last year I wore it on a trip to Maui (see photo), and it went through 8 days of swimming, sand, and hiking without missing a beat. "

OUR MOST COMMON QUESTIONS


1. Can I swim with this watch?

You can absolutely swim, surf, snorkel, scuba and do anything else in-water with your Vaer watch. If you didn't know it already - ALL Vaer watches include a waterproof warranty. Which is our way of saying, if you can flood it, we'll replace it (as long as your crown is sealed).

2. What does USA assembly mean?

Currently, Vaer watches are assembled in the USA, but not made in the USA. Which might sound a bit confusing. The 'Made in USA' label is a country of origin designation that is regulated by the US Federal Trade Commission, that indicates that the product is “all or virtually all” made in the United States.

Many Vaer watches have over 60% USA origin, including assembly, movements and straps. However, this is not enough to qualify for the term "Made in USA". Currently, Vaer watches are assembled in the USA, but not made in the USA.

However, we are the largest independent US watch assembler and one of the few brands selling USA assembled watches for under $250.

3. Why should I trust Vaer as a brand?

While Vaer is a relatively young brand, having been founded in 2016, we have a strong track-record of delivering for our customers and standing behind our products. We have over 5,500 verified customer reviews on our website, and have had our watches covered in nearly every major fashion and horology watch outlet. Vaer is 100% owned and operated, by co-founders Ryan Torres and Reagan Cook, and is based in Venice Beach, California.

4. What is sapphire crystal?

Sapphire crystal is a premium type of glass used in watches and other consumer products due to its powerful scratch resistance. All Vaer watches use a sapphire crystal for the main dial display, and our mechanical watches also use sapphire crystal for the exhibition caseback. Sapphire crystal is the highest quality watch crystal material. It offers increased scratch resistance and durability over the mineral crystal and is the second hardest material on the planet, behind the diamond.

Sapphires are generally known as rare gemstones that form naturally. But just like diamonds, sapphires can be made synthetically. The glass material is made from heating crystalline aluminum oxides to above 3,600 ºF. The synthetic sapphire is then cut with diamond saws, ground down to size, polished, and coated with an anti-reflective finish. Our sapphire crystal is rated 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, compared to 5 for mineral glass, and 3 for acrylic glass. The only material that’s more scratch-resistant, would be diamond, which is rated 10/10.

5. How do I change out Vaer straps?

Our standard 20mm quick-release straps can be changed in seconds by engaging the small pins on the back of the watch strap. All Vaer watches come pre-installed on an ocean-ready quick-release strap. As our most comfortable and adaptable strap, we believe it is a great introduction to our strap lineup. To remove the standard strap, pull in the small metal knob to disengage the springbar



WE MAKE IT EASY

Vaer is an independent self-funded company, and we’ve spent countless hours designing and building our watches. We hope you love them as much as we do. But if for some reason there's a problem or it's not a fit, you can get in touch with us, and as the founders we'll do everything we can to ensure you have a positive experience with our brand.
