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

Absolutely beautiful watch. Love the WWII watch style and I wasn’t sure if I would like the color but it really grew on me. The dial is easy to read, accurate, and doesn’t tick loudly. If you charge up the glow it is almost blindingly bright at night, haven’t noticed that it charges up on its own very well but that could be due to me wearing long sleeves. Working in the medical field I'm always worried about getting my watch wet after the 100th time washing my hands but I don’t have to thanks to the 10 atm water resistance (and it comes with a rubber watch band!). Would definitely recommend this watch to anyone!

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.

I had never heard of VAER watches, but I was intrigued by some of the things the company claims so I got one to test it out. First of all, these are made to be water resistant and to be worn on seawater. I have a salt water pool & we use it 4-5 times a week for exercise and relaxing. It's not sea water and I am three hours from the ocean so the pool will have to be my test lab. Second the crystal is said to be scratch-resistant and I am hard on watches for some reason. I'll find out. It has two quick change straps and and both are said to be able to stand up to salt water. I am using the one that was on the watch when I got it and will use the other one later on. The little pins that hold the straps on are very easy to manipulate and are a big improvement over straps from the past that required tools or a visit to the jeweler to get off and back on. My only complaint is a minor one. The numbers are supposed to be visible in the dark but they have to be exposed to sunlight during the day to energize the coating. It's winter & I wear long sleeves now so the watch does not get much exposure to light. I am trying to change that but I have to think about it or the watch is under cover for most of the day. It does show up in the dark but it's not as vivid as I like. I will have to mess around with this function to see if I can get it working better. This is why I gave it four stars but that may change. This model is sold at a decent price. I have had expensive watches before but they have tended to break or need service more than they should. About 20 years ago I went to the cheapest Timex I could find and wear them until they die. Then I get a new one. This is a test to see how much I like a better quality watch that is not hundreds of dollars. The watch looks good, was easy to set, easy to read, and comfortable to wear. I will post an update in a few months after I have had time to really give this a longer workout.

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
