after less than a month, the watch stopped working. will wind only 4 times then stop. will run only 4 hours then repeat.
Hi Mike, Thanks for your review and bringing your issue to our attention. I'll be reaching out via email to get your watch in for service immediately. It should be able to be wound 20-30 times before it is fully wound, and have a power reserve of up to 41 hours when fully wound.
So sorry you've experienced an issue with your new watch. Hope to speak to you shortly.
Well designed, constructed, and accurate! Not to mention, a good looking piece…well done!
Hey Mike! Thanks for leaving a review, and the kind words!
Classic 38mm automatic field watch with screw-down crown, hack second hand, water resistant to 120m, 2 bands and a 10 year warranty. Everything I've looked for lately in a field watch. Thank you! Love it!
Hi Daniel, thanks for your review! Happy to hear you love your new Smokey '44!
Very cool, I would have thought this watch just looked kinda playful but it’s also actually really really nice. It LOOKS GOOD ON YOUR WRIST. Then you check out the dial and there’s all nice design parts to look at. So cool. I could wear this as an everyday run around watch or you could actually throw a green button down with it and it’ll look good. The bronze is just unique and beautiful with the leather. My kid also loves looking at the dial and so do I. Unique piece with a reliable movement
Hi Tom! Thanks for your review! Happy to hear that you're loving your Smokey 80th watch after you've had some good hands-on time with it. That bronze case will continue to patina uniquely to how you use it. Enjoy!
I love this watch and am so impressed with both the quality and attention to detail. Particularly appreciate the way the hands line up to resemble a match and the finishings on the bezel. This watch has become a quick favorite.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Edition Watch! We're thrilled to hear that you love the quality and attention to detail. Happy wearing!
The watch arrived in a fantastic package which provided perfect protection and some merch as others have described seeing two strap options side by side was a great way to open the contents The watch itself is fantastic. I’ve worn it a few days but already I know this will be the watch I will use more than others in my collection of watches. Thank you VERO
Hi Tim! So happy to hear you're loving your watch! Thanks for the great review and awesome picture!
My work requires me to wear a non-smart watch, and the Meridian is the perfect blend of analog form and function. In an age where so many things in our lives are digital, require an app, and/or want to send you ceaseless notifications, my Meridian is a breath of fresh air. It tells time. That's it. And I'm growing increasing fond of that simplicity. The routine of having to wind it every morning is oddly satisfying as well. Quality watch, beautiful design, and for me...a chance to support a local business with a great ethos.
Hi Ron, thanks so much for your review of you Meridian! So happy to hear that you're loving the interaction you have with your watch every day. We felt the same way!
Chicks love it on me.
; ) This is the feedback we've been looking for!
ผมมี audi TT สีเหลืองและมันเป็นสีเดียวกันกับนาฬิกาเรือนนี้ นั่นทำให้ผมสนใจมัน ผมเริ่มศึกษาและทึ่งกับไอเดียในการทำสินค้าของคุณร่วมกับหน่วยพิทักษ์ป่าและคอนเซปของมัน ผมรักมัน แม้ผมจะเสียค่าส่งและภาษีแพงมากก็ตาม 👍
Vero makes great watches right there in Portland Oregon and they capture the vibe. Exceptional design, sturdy and reliable. Every watch has a story. Glad to continue collecting.
I’ve admired the Smokey Series of watches for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. I wanted a field watch, but nothing generic - it had to have personality. The Smokey ‘44 checked all the boxes. It is versatile for any occasion leaving me no reason to take it off. The photographs do not do the watch justice. It is a stunning timepiece. Every time I look at my wrist, I am happy.
Hi Brandon, we're stoked to hear you love your Smokey watch and that it's become your daily driver!
I was watching this watch for some time. The green dial sold out quickly. I received an email saying we have stock. Ordered immediately. Received quickly in great shape. I have several watches of all types and prices. This bright copper looking case with the brown leather strap is my current favorite next to my platinum Daytona. All for an under $600. The company is in Portland and very responsive to any inquires I have had. I also bought a Holigan a few years back. Both are attention getters. I know they have some discount codes available. I tried “smoke poles”. Didn’t work. But 2 things this holiday season. Tesla stack and this watch. Can’t go wrong with either.
Hi Chris, thanks for your review! We're glad to hear you're loving your Smokey Forest Green watch and were able to grab one!
I absolutely love my Forest Service Airtanker. It’s my first everyday driver, and since I got it in May, it hasn’t left my wrist. This watch has been through it all—under Iguazu Falls, over the waves in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, and deep into the Uruguayan jungle. It’s built for real Cossack adventures.
The wear and tear on the case just adds to its story, making it feel like a true travel companion. It’s rugged, stylish, and always grabs attention— people constantly compliment and ask about it 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Thanks for your awesome review! We're stoked to hear you're tacking on so many miles and adventures with it!
The packaging is excellent. Love the extra details of the presentation. The additional straps it comes with are great - esp the matching blue one. The thickness of the leather and weight of the case makes me believe this is a watch meant to be worn and aged to the user. At first I thought the case was too thick and wore bigger than expected but I think it needs to be out in the elements and patina-ed to be truly loved. It seems tough. Would be great for a troop leader.
Hi Ellen, Thanks so much for your review of your Smokey Bear watch! We love how each watch has such a unique patina with wear. We're glad you're getting some good use out of yours!
My new Smoky the Bear 80th anniversary watch arrived this week and I could not be happier. I’ve been looking at this watch for the last month or so and was on the fence whether to get the blue face or the green face as I find both of them to be really beautiful. In the end I decided to wait for the green face. The watch was carefully packaged and came in a beautiful presentation box along with an extra strap, some stickers, and a cool forest service pin. After opening it I spent some time getting to know the watch and was really impressed by the quality and workmanship. The bronze case is unique and not something you see all the time and goes beautifully with the leather strap that came with it. In time that bronze will patina and give it a different character, but I sure do love the look of it. I should also say I called Vero with a couple of questions prior to buying the watch and after receiving it and I can’t say enough good stuff about their level of customer service and they’re genuine passion for their product if you were considering this watch I know you will love it.
Hi David, thank you so much for your review! We greatly appreciate your feedback and are so happy to hear how pleased you are with your new watch!
Exactly as I was hoping. As others pointed out, leather strap is quite thick but should break in over time. Preferring the synthetic strap at the moment and have gotten complements after just a couple times wearing it.
Hi Matt, Thanks for your review of your new Smokey watch! Those leather straps are pretty thick at first, but like you mentioned, they do wear in over time and contour to your wrist. They will patina a bit darker with sun and wear as well. Hope you get great use out of both straps!
That face, she’s as black as my soul, and I couldn’t be happier. I have been in the market for a subtle watch with minimal shine and maximum personality, and I could not be happier with my new Hooligan. I’ll add a shout out for the band because it is light and comfortable, yet it holds the case snug and secure. The transaction experience was straightforward and my purchase arrived timely with no flaws.
Hi Randy, Thanks for your review of your Hooligan Nightfall. We're stoked to hear that it was just what you were looking for!
The 1944 Smokey Bear ,80th Anniversary Edition is a very nice watch, I have not worn it, I wound it, and the watch performs well. The only concern I had was the hook and loop closure on the flap failed on its box. Otherwise, I hope to have many years of enjoyment from my purchase. Thank you, Vero watch Co.!
Hi Mark, Thanks so much for your review!
Can I get some more info from you on the hook and loop closure? Are you referring to the packaging, or to the leather watch strap? We want to make sure your watch arrived in perfect condition. Thanks!
As a lover of the outdoors, this watch spoke to me immediately. Wearing it brings me so much joy and now that my kids are into Smokey too, it means even more to me. I’m not a watch collector and don’t own many, but everything about this one was calling to me and I’m very happy I picked one up when they became available again. It’s my daily wearer and will be for the foreseeable future.
Hi Graham, Thanks so much for your review of your new Smokey Bear watch! We love that Smokey's legacy is living on for you and your family. We hope you take it on many adventures!
Loads of compliments wearing this illegible hockey puck.
Hi Troy, Thanks for your review of your Hooligan Nightfall. The black hands on black dial was certainly a risky design choice that we went with for this watch. Like it says on our product page, it's 'like a phanotm on your wrist'. We really leaned into the story and vibe behind this watch release, versus high legibility like our other Workhorses and watch collections.
Love the Hooligan Nightfall watch and the unique look. I’ve worn it twice and gotten compliments both times.
Hi Larry, Thanks for your review of your new Hooligan Nightfall! We hope it continues to turn heads for you!
