Vaer Men’s Field Watch, Quartz Movement for Accurate Timing, Scratch Resistant Sapphire Crystal, Locking Screw-Down Crown, Iconic Replica of The A-11 Military Watch for Men of WW2

I’m a big fan of the clean, field-watch look. The dial is simple and easy to read at a glance, and it works with pretty much anything I wear — casual clothes, work attire, even slightly dressier outfits. It has that classic military style that doesn’t go out of fashion. Overall, I’m really happy with the Vaer S5. It’s lightweight, fits perfectly on my wrist, and feels like a watch I can wear every single day without worrying about it. It strikes a great balance between durability, comfort, and classic style. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable everyday field watch.

I was in the market for a field watch and this came recommended on a few watch forums. I had never heard of this manufacturer before but, at this price point, was willing to give it a shot. I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and workmanship. First, the good stuff: -Watch is light and sleek design -Sapphire crystal -Good water resistance -Accuracy is great. Might run just a few seconds behind after a few weeks of wrist time. -Comes with two bands, one nylon and one rubber (and at a 20mm spring bar many other options are available) Now, a few things to consider: -The date window is almost impossible to read except in bright light. This does not bug me but I could see it annoying someone else. -The styling, although consistent with field watch designs, looks like a Timex. For something that is about five times the cost if you don't care about the "nice to haves" or other quality differences then you can save a decent amount of money by just getting a Timex Expedition that looks similar. Is this watch a slam dunk, better than all other rivals, get it now before it is gone, kind of deal? No. Is it a solid, field watch that will delight many a watch enthusiast for a low price point? Yes.

I've only had this Vario Men's Field Watch a few hours and I'm completely sold on it. The 40mm case is just right for my wrist. I love the design (or I wouldn't have bought it). It has a military homage, but is not too military. I don't feel as I need to have on fatigues to wear it. I see it as an everyday type of watch. It's easy to tell the time (which is a nice feature to have). I have not tried the illumination yet, but I expect good things. Although I've just gotten it, the watch seems sturdy and well made. Perhaps the nicest surprise is the band. It's soft, flexible rubber, and is easily the most comfortable rubber strap I've ever had. I like to wear my watches snug on ny wrist and there are a lot of holes in the band to fit the wrist. I don't like my watches moving around, and this Vario achieves that without being too snug or the least bit uncomfortable. All in all, it's a winner.

Bought this to replace a similar LL Bean that died after 8 years. So far, after three weeks, I like this one better. The face is slightly larger, the luminosity is brighter, the band is more comfortable, and so far it has only run 2 seconds fast (less than1 second/week). Surprisingly, it arrived pre-set to the correct time! Well, not exactly; it was set to Central vs Eastern time, but I have a CST area code, so that may be why it wasn't set to match my Florida address. Anyway, it gave me the chance to practice setting the local time to the exact second. BTW, this was also less expensive than the LL Bean.

PROS: The watch has a flat sapphire lens so there is NO distortion when viewing the watch at an acute angle. The lume on the hands is excellent; the lume on the face hour markings is adequate. The second-hand registers almost perfectly with the face markings, which is difficult to achieve with a quartz watch. The watch is thin -- about 9mm. This allows it to slip easily under the cuff of a shirt. The satin finish of the watch case and the bezel is uniform and consistent with the field watch motif. The accuracy of the quartz movement is dead nuts on. The screw-down crown operates perfectly. The Barton silicone band with the VAER engraved buckle is very comfortable and durable. The price/quality ratio is remarkable. I've owned a dozen field watches. CONS: I mistakenly thought there was something wrong with the quartz movement. I've concluded that I was completely mistaken. The accuracy is amazing. NONE! The ad on Amazon is for the 36mm version of the watch which does NOT include the inner ring of 24-hour military markings (13-24). IF you select the 40mm version (which I did) the Amazon ad image does not change to show the dramatic change in the face markings -- the additional 12-24 hour markings. I have notified AMAZON.COM of the glitch in the ad. If VAER had a 40mm without the 12-24 hour markings I would purchase it. Apparently, VAER does not. I will be keeping my 40mm with the military-inspired additional markings. IT'S A SUPERB "EDC" WATCH. Amazon was kind enough to send me a replacement with the additional military numbers. I have returned that and am keeping the military version. It's a great watch.

Genial producto. De muy buena cálidad. Parece más caro. Me encanta y quiero comprar más relojes VAER.

Un reloj militar de campaña muy bonito. Resaltaría el hecho de que tiene cristal de zafiro y la corona es roscada lo que asegura su WR de 100m.

Es un reloj genial, se siente de calidad, desde el empaque, trae dos correas una de silicon y otra de tela, la luminiscencia es buena
