I love it. It fits my 8 inch wrist perfectly. It’s very accurate, the bracelet is awesome, it has good lume and it looks good. I have zero complaints about this one. This watch and my Omega SMP will never leave my collection.
I really like Vaer watches. I have a quartz C5 and had a D5 that I sold because the crown was way too sharp for me. I wear my watches lower on my wrist and it would dig in to my skin causing an irritation. The C5 also has a sharp crown and I can feel it when I wear it but not as much as the D5.
I thought about buying the 40mm black dial version but when I looked at the pics of the crown and noticed the same sharp edges I quickly changed me mind. It’s a shame because I’d really like to own an American assembled automatic watch again.
It’s been true with my watches that have ETA’s in them. For example, my Hamilton Khaki Field automatic runs about -3 a day while I use it throughout the day. At night I keep it crown down and it speeds up enough to get 2 seconds back just losing a second the next day in total.
My Longines Spirit Zulu Time which has a chronometer movement in it gains about 2 seconds throughout the day. That watch gets put down with the crown up and it slows it down enough to come in at about +1 with at times coming in at +/- 0 seconds. I went on a trip to Europe with it last month for about 10 days. I set it to 0 the day before we left and when we came back home, it had gained a total of 6 seconds. She’s definitely a keeper.
My watches with ETA movements are rock solid time keepers.
I have a Seiko with an NH34 movement and most times it does whatever it feels like doing that day regardless of position when it’s stored.
