Better instructions are needed for winding and setting the time but the watch is awesome - I love it

This is my first watch from Vero even though I've been eyeing their watches since the pole router style LE they released with Worn and Wound back in 2018. This SW-Q (black dial) is AWESOME. It feels well-built and robust, like it's ready to take a beating. It can be hard to tell from the pictures but this watch looks great in person. The textured black dial with applied indices and dauphine hands has a very clean look to it and some may disagree but I feel the lack of a minute track adds a bit of elegance. All in all, this watch feels like a great value and a great addition to any collection.

Just received and this is just amazing. Feels great, quality build and looks amazing. It's that unique color that does not photograph well, therefore pics do not do it justice. Is it turquoise, teal, blue, deep sea, navy? Yes...it is, depending on the lighting. Fit is perfect (I was a bit worried with my larger wrist, but I measured and it's great). Finish is just stunning, especially knowing the specs.
Amazing service, and I had numerous questions, and the support was insanely responsive. So rare in these times to have a company so engaged with their customers.

It’s a very nice everyday watch. Fits me well.A+++

Well...this is an update on my last review. I contacted the Vero folks, they sent me a UPS ship label, and was sent in. Problem was, it would stop after 4 hours when fully wound. Kaine got on it, found the issue and I had it back in a week. After a week of operation, the watch would exceed its reserve and function perfectly! I stand by my first comment. A well engineered, light weight and accurate piece! BTW, thanx for the great customer service. This is the third Vero watch I've bought. Love em all!

I love Smokey. I also love watches! Combined and I’m fortunate to have found such a rad watch! Beautiful and understated, I can’t wait to wear this out and about.

I immediately knew I wanted this watch. I spend a lot of time outdoors and a field watch is the perfect timepiece for my lifestyle. I also own a Seiko Alpinist that is in this price range. I have been wearing this watch for about a week and so far, it has kept near perfect time (less than 30 seconds error). That's amazing for an automatic. I am very pleased. Classic look. Great weight and feel! Extremely pleased!

The Smokey '44

Love the watch

Nice watch

after less than a month, the watch stopped working. will wind only 4 times then stop. will run only 4 hours then repeat.

Smokey Bear Watch Leather Strap

Well designed, constructed, and accurate! Not to mention, a good looking piece…well done!

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!

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

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.

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

Thank you beautiful watch and super fast shipping

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.

Chicks love it on me.

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.

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.

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 🇺🇦🇺🇸
