Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Edition
The Coolector
"The VERO Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Edition Watch masterfully blends heritage, functionality, and timeless style. "
Balance & Bridge
"Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of history and celebrate Smokey Bear’s legacy with a watch that’s as iconic as the bear himself."
Worn & Wound
"Goldilocks shouldn’t have any issues with the size of this bear’s watch, and neither should anyone else, as it should fit nearly everyone just right."
OPEN WATER 38 REVIEWS
Balance & Bridge
“After three years of meticulous production and invaluable user feedback, the company has perfected its flagship dive watch.”
fratello
"It's new 38mm size suits the trend of smaller watches, and the colors used match the company’s outdoorsy character.”
WORN&WOUND
“The big headline here is a series of subtle refinements to the Open Water model, all of which add up to a stark evolution of Vero’s flagship diver.”
Forest Service Edition Watch Reviews
ABlogtowatch
"...tough, good-looking watches that are geared toward those who love the outdoors. Beyond the color, though, there are so many tiny details to enjoy about this dial that add to the already engaging case design.”
Worn & Wound
"It’s a fascinating combination as it gives the wearer the accuracy of a quartz caliber along with the rotor wobble of a self-winding mechanical movement."
Fratello
"The coolest thing about these watches, though, is that they aren’t merely exercises in licensing – they have a distinct design language in conversation with VERO’s other watches."
Smokey Bear Watch Reviews
aBlogtowatch
"As someone who leans towards clean, perhaps dressy watches, I felt these polished accents hint at a time when every watch was polished and even those meant for the outdoors were elegant."
Time + Tide
"Beyond their intrinsic connection to an American icon, the Smokey `44 and `64 are packed with proper field watch specifications. The brown earthy tones of the dial, paired with a sandy texture and set against cream-colored numerals provide for superlative legibility."
Fratello Watches
"The fine texture reduces reflection and increases readability. It matches surprisingly well with the red, orange, and white printing on the dials, really leaning into the vintage vibe."
Worn&Wound
"The theme was tastefully woven into the watch, and I really like how Vero took inspiration from military watches of the same year that Smokey was introduced."
Cool Material
"Both watches sport a minimalist aesthetic with subtle touches that celebrate the US Forest Service."
youreterrific
"These watches just have a lot going for them. The size, the design, supporting the Forest Service, the packaging. I have a list of pros, and I don't really have a list of cons."
Meridian Manual Wind Reviews
Fratello Watches
“It’s the type of watch that seems to tick several important boxes to be a great summer companion. Could this be my summer watch or perhaps yours? Let’s find out.”
aBlogtowatch
"The Vero Meridian is really about color. It’s a simple balance of colors with great effect, especially the Rally edition reviewed here."

VERO X ADPT Colab Review:
..."if you're looking to lean into the idea of a summer watch with a bright and fun take on a solid and sporty chronograph."
aBlogtoWatch
“There is a lot of functionality crammed into the piece that makes it ideal for any number of outdoor pursuits.”
Worn & Wound
“Vero has made a watch that perfectly captures the spirit of an active lifestyle watch, and it’s as fun and practical as it is unpretentious.”
Open Water Automatic Reviews
Watchclicker

Time+Tide
“This is a proper tool with a Swiss heart, proudly assembled and regulated by this small independent company in the USA.”
