Sizing Guide

Need Help Choosing a Case Size?

Here at Vaer our goal is to build watches that can be worn everyday, in all conditions. A critical aspect of longterm wear is comfort and fit. Having a watch that is either too big, or too small can quickly disqualify it from a place in your daily rotation. If you're new to watch case sizing, below is a general overview of the sizes of our 5 core case designs.

If you'd like to read our comprehensive guide to case sizing click here.

Watches are measured by case diameter. This measurement does not include the crown or lugs.

1) 36mm - Smaller Wrists
2) 38mm - Small/Medium Wrists
3) 39mm - Medium Wrists
4) 40mm - Medium Wrists
5) 42mm - Medium/Large Wrists

With that in mind, we've created this case sizing guide to help you choose the watch that is ideal for your particular wrist shape and style preference.

Notes: All Vaer watches are shown on the same 7 inch (177mm) diameter wrist. This is approximately the median wrist size of an adult man. Watches are shown in size from smallest to largest.

The R1 Rally is the perfect all-purpose chronograph, combining refined retro aesthetics with best-in-class durability features and a perfectly proportioned 40mm case.

Why we love it

Introduced in 2024 as a fitting homage to 1970s racing chronographs like the Breitling Top Time, the R1 Rally is both a modern tool watch and an eye-catching collector’s item bound to capture countless compliments. In addition to its eye-catching colorway and integrated tachymeter scale, features like a screw-down crown, 10ATM water resistance, domed sapphire crystal, and USA assembly make it a true statement piece, both in the water and on the track.

The Perfect Everyday Watch

Uniquely positioned as the only chronograph on the market that's both assembled in the USA and designed for everyday ocean use, the R1 Rally is a great choice for those looking for a watch they can take anywhere and everywhere, that carries a compelling story of independent American craftsmanship.

1. Ocean-Ready

Life is unpredictable. The perfect everyday watch needs to provide peace of mind in all conditions. Whether you're heading out in the rain or taking a jump in the pool, this watch never needs to be left on the sidelines.

2. Scratch Resistant

Impact is inevitable. When it happens, you want to be sure your watch won't scratch. That's why we use premium sapphire crystal to protect our dials (the second hardest material after diamond).

3. Easy Customization

Every day is different. And the easiest way to switch up the look (and functionality) of your watch is to change straps. That's why every Vaer watch ships with 2x quick-change strap options.
