  • Vaer for the win, my new favorite watch!
Size: Medium - 42mm Color: Meridian Black Solar
The Vaer DS4 Meridian Solar Dive Watch is stunning! The 42mm is perfect for my 7.5" wrist. The details are what really set it apart from other watches. In hand you first notice the solid feel and weight. The Anti-Reflective coating on the Sapphire Crystal show the depth of the dial and dimension of the applied indices. The aluminum bezel insert has a nice matte finish that doesn't leave fingerprints. The easy to grip bezel makes a satisfying 120 clicks as it smoothly ratchets around the dial. The solar panel dial has a subtle sunburst effect. Lume on this watch is amazing! In my photo it looks blue but in person it appears green. The twisted lyre lugs are brushed on the sides and polished on the top. Vaer is signed on the crown and buckle. Two comfortable high quality 20mm bands are included and have quick release spring bars that don't require a spring bar tool. My photos feature the Tropic strap. 200m water resistance and solar powered, this is an exceptional value. You won't be disappointed. This is my new favorite watch! ... show more

  • May be the perfect watch
Is there a perfect watch? I guess that's debatable and depends a lot on personal preference but this comes close. Among dive watches costing less than $300 you'd be hard pressed to find anything better. I love that they offer two sizes as well. So many watches today are enormous wrist clocks and since I have a smaller wrist, they look ridiculous on me. The 38mm version of the DS4 is perfect. I have several vintage watches and it wears much more like those on the wrist, very understated and classy. The case is hefty and sold with beautiful contours and finish. The screw down crown is substantial and easy to operate. The engraved case back is a thing of beauty. The watch comes with two bands, an FKM dive strap (that alone is worth $40 - $50 if you bought it separately) and a khaki colored nylon strap. You can also use any standard 20mm strap. The design is such that many straps look good so you can easily change the look of the watch for different applications. For swimming and outdoor use, the FKM is probably the best choice, however. I enjoy wearing my vintage watches but this will be my workhorse watch for every day and what's better than a workhorse that looks and performs like a show horse? ... show more

  • Nice watch
Size: Medium - 42mm Color: Meridian Black Solar
Got watch on an Amazon special for less than 200. Watch looks great out of the box. First the bad. The bezel has a nice solid click when rotated but an excessive amount of play between in position. I have a similarly priced citizen promaster that has zero play. The screw down crown has sharp edges that dig into the wrist, something citizen mitigated with a softer treatment on the crown flutes and edges. Now the good. Rubber strap is great and the quick release band is a hreat feature. Sapphire crystal at this price point is a win. Excellent hand to marker alignment. Nice crisp dial printing. Lightweight witout feeling cheap or fragile. Excellent polished case finishing. Outside of crown this is a very comfortable watch to wear and a good value for a 200 meter solar powered dive watch. ... show more

  • For this price, good luck finding a better quality dive watch anywhere!
Size: Medium - 42mm Color: Meridian Black Solar
If you haven’t heard of Vaer, do yourself a favor and do some research. What they are doing right now is making some of the best dive and field watches for the price point you can buy. This DS4 is a perfect example of their craftsmanship in a no frills package. Classic dive style, with 200m water resistance, screw down crown and caseback, and with a sapphire crystal (good luck finding that at this price). The bezel action is crisp, indices all line up perfectly, the dial has a beautiful sunburst effect and with solar movement, it’s set and forget. The FKM rubber tropic strap is excellent quality, super pliable, and you get an extra nylon strap. The straps being quick change means you can add any strap you want easily. For this price, good luck finding a better dive watch anywhere! The two founders of Vaer are very involved in all facets of their operation and design and are doing some great work right now. This isn’t some big corporation pumping out mass produced pieces. This is a small operation making some great watches at reasonable prices you’d be hard pressed to find somewhere else. If you’re at all concerned about the origins of this watch, don’t be. The movement, the finishing, everything about this watch is top notch in every way. The Horween leather strap in the picture is from Vaer and is beautiful! The ridged FKM rubber strap is from StrapHabit, another small business doing top quality work. ... show more

  • Watch got water inside
Size: Medium - 42mm Color: Meridian Black Solar
Was excited to buy this watch. Loved the look and style. Just swam in the pool a handful of times and water got inside. The one time I wanted to wear on a fishing trip it fogged. Really ridiculous. It is a dive watch for Christ sake. 200M and couldn't handle my pool. Contacted the company and they said, "Did you unscrew the crown? Because if you did the warranty is void." Didn't even know you could unscrew the "crown". Not sure about anyone else, but I pull my watches out of the box and wear. Never been told to screw down a crown before. The company seemed more interested in not fixing the problem, but trying to pass blame. Horrible customer service. ... show more

  • A terrific dive solar watch
Size: Medium - 42mm Color: Meridian Black Solar
This is my third VAER watch; my other two are USA assembly automatic watches. All three are great timekeeping pieces. I wanted the benefits of a quartz watch without the drawback of having to replace the battery every few years. VAER's DS4 dive watch was the answer. As with all quartz watches, timekeeping is superb. But the watch simply looks great on my wrist. The standard quick release tropic strap is comfortable and durable (I've used one for over a year with my other VAER watches.) VAER delivers impressive watches at reasonable prices; but don't let the price fool you. These watches are built to last and keep their beauty for years to come. Yes, you could spend a lot more in a similar watch but you would not get the satisfaction that you got your money's worth. VAER is always a sure bet. ... show more
