My new Smokey Bear watch is perfect. The blue color is unique — makes for great conversation. And shipping was quick too. I’ll go back and look at other Vero watches now.
Hi Robert! So glad to hear you're loving your new Smokey Bear Blue Skies Edition!
Hope you get to show it off a ton!
Well made, minimalist functions, designed to be used in the field. Very pleased with this watch.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your review of your new Canyon Workhorse. Glad to hear you're finding it so useful already. Hope it takes you on some epic adventures!
This is a great watch to look at and strap is broke in on day one very comfortable and though this wears a little smaller than what I usually wear it does not seem small on my wrist clear dial and very easy on the eyes to read I suspect this watch will get more wear time in my rotation. Quality piece at a reasonable price.
Overall a very nice watch. On the clunky side for sure but designed to "Take it". Not something for dress or office wear. I'd recommend (if you get it) a nice canvass strap like a Eulit. That really improves the overall look.
Great watch that sits well on my larger wrist with clear and easy to read dials. I went with long on the strap as I have a 8 inch wrist but was even a little too long for me so I replaced with 20mm Vintage Khaki FKM Rubber Strap from Vero and have ordered some additional ones to try out from another company that specializes in straps. This is a workhorse watch and Vero has a great warranty on there products and you get a lot of watch for the price.
Great size and super comfortable and weight of it surprised me all in all a great field/tool watch
Expectations exceeded and my expectations were high! I’ve wanted a VERO watch for such a long time, the Workhorse immediately jumped out at me a few years ago, it stuck in my mind but having had a look online, they were out of stock.
From time to time I’d come back and check the VERO but with no stock or even any indication the Workhorse would ever be remade. Having received an email recently saying the Workhorse and specifically the Workhorse Backcountry was coming back, I jumped at the chance and purchased one.
I have to say from start to finish the whole experience has been undoubtably 5 stars, incredible price for this watch, delivery from the USA to me her in the UK was amazingly fast and well packed with care. As for the watch itself… it’s absolute quality through and through, excellent finishing, great actions on the buttons and two crowns.
Simply… I… love… this… watch! I hope you will to if/when you make the decision to get one.
Hi Alex,
Thanks so much for your epic review of your new Workhorse Backcountry!
So glad you were able to get one in this last restock. They're solid watches and we hope you take yours on some fun adventures!
I have included a few photos to show how my Scout edition has held up over time—the first picture is when it was brand new, the second is out on the job, and the last picture is its current state today.
This watch doesn’t get babied—it gets dragged through the trenches and buried in mud. The water and dirt resistance are top-notch, the legibility remains perfect, and the way the case is wearing down to bare steel under the scratched bullhorns gives it incredible character. If you want a tough, dependable watch that looks even better with a bit of hard-earned wear and tear, VERO nailed it with the Workhorse.
Hi Mr T!! Thanks for your hands-on review and those epic pictures!
We love seeing the evolution each watch takes from it's experience in the world. So glad you're loving your trusty sidekick!
I’ve had it for about a week- love the watch. It’s just a lot of fun, the color scheme is great and love the pop of orange. I own the Canyon and the blue Workhorse- couldn’t be happier with both versions.
I’ve collected and enjoyed watches for many years, from Swiss luxury pieces to watches that simply caught my eye because they had a great story. My VERO Smokey Bear watches fall into a category all their own.
The Smokey Bear Collector’s Box Set immediately appealed to me because it combines two things I appreciate: a well-made, distinctive watch and a genuine piece of American history and nostalgia.
VERO did this right. The watches have personality without feeling gimmicky. The colors, dial details, straps, and beautiful collector’s presentation all show real thought and craftsmanship. These are watches I enjoy wearing, not simply keeping in a box.
In fact, I enjoyed the set so much that it started me down the road of collecting other VERO Smokey Bear editions. There’s just something about these watches that makes me smile when I put one on my wrist.
I own more expensive watches, but price alone doesn’t determine how much you enjoy a watch. Sometimes it’s the story, the memories, and the feeling it gives you.
VERO and Smokey Bear have captured all three. Five stars from this very happy Grandfather. Thanks Andrea for helping to make it possible. Y'all are simply Awesome!
Thanks so much, Rick!! We love hearing about the heritage your watches will have in your family! Enjoy!!
This is my third Smokey Bear watch. Each has their own really nice features such as case type, dial colors, and inscription on the case back. They are all really nice watches, having a really hard time choosing which one to wear each day. The Blue Skies edition is probably my favorite. I like the blue dial, and the case color is superb! The watch really stands out on the wrist. Honestly, they are all really nice. All are all five stars.
I got the long and it worked out well. My wrist is probably 7.5 or larger plus if I want it on the outside of long sleeve sun shirt it works out well. Nice quality.
So Vaer has been great. I have purchased a few now with random bands. Smokey the Bear is great. I’m an outdoor enthusiast.
Hi Madison, Thanks for your review for VERO Watch Company! So glad to hear you're loving your Smokey Bear watch!
Love Smokey Bear. Love bronze case. Green was darker than expected and dial was a bit difficult to read the time. Not awful, but not the best. Case was a bit thick. Band was rough. Wish it was more supple. All in all, decent watch. I ended up not keeping it and gave it away as a gift.
This is my second Smokey Bear watch and my favorite, so far. Love the blue and it keeps perfect time. Actually better at keeping time than some of my Rolex’s. Perfect for everyday use and travel.
Hi Richard, So glad to hear you're loving your new Smokey Bear watch!!
I'm typically a G shock guy and love "tool" watches that look good and can take a beating. The sapphire glass and work horse movement along with the 10 year warranty sold me on Vero as a company.
This watch is so nice. It's 38 mm and is perfect on my 7 inch wrist. It's surprisingly light, which I love. So light, it wears like my titanium Citizen Garrison. The finishing is perfect. Lume is the best out of my collection.
Hi Fayiz,
Thanks so much for your glowing review of your new Smokey Bear Blue Skies Edition watch! So glad to hear you love it, and it exceeded expectations!
I've been looking for a new automatic watch and was grateful to come across Vero and the Smokey Bear Blue Skies edition. It is absolutely striking. I also ordered the blue FKM rubber strap, which looks stunning. I love supporting local busnisses and watch makers, so I'm glad to have across Vero. Will definately be looking to add more pieces to the collection.
Hi Matt! Thanks so much for your review of your new Smokey Bear Blue Skies Edition. We're stoked to hear you love the case color as much as we do!
What a cool watch I love this small batch watch supporting a national icon that is now more important than ever as our climate is changing
I also do love that part of the proceeds are going to help wildfires
The Realtree Tide Tracker Outpost Black was my first Vero watch purchase and I couldn't be happier. Great looking, high quality and a great price for an automatic movement. The tide tracker is a very cool and unique complication that makes it even better! My only wish is that it came in a larger size as an option. 39.5mm is fine, but 42mm or even 44mm would look even better.
Hi Steven! Thanks so much for your review and great feedback of your watch's function and fit. We greatly appreciate it.
I’m 1 week in, but so far this watch has been worth the purchase. I love the the face, the fun Smokey slogans on the back, and the Smokey on the back of the field strap is a nice surprise.
This watch has the little things that make it different and fun, while being high quality and functional. I’d highly recommend it.
Hi Jordan,
Thanks for the great review of your new watch. So glad you're loving it so far! Hope it takes you on some great adventures!
Great watch with easy to read dial and very lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. Size is good as I have a larger wrist and it doesn't seem out of place. Is keeping excellent time and I keep on a watch winder when not wearing. Great purchase.
Hi Gene! Thanks for your review of your Smokey Bear watch. So glad it was the perfect fit. We really appreciate the great feedback!
