Open Water 38 - Cove

Had been looking at Vero models for years and finally bought my first 38mm Swell. Wow!! The bead blasted finish is on par with my Sinn models. The Cerakote bezel is perfect. Count me a fan!!

I've been waiting for the Open Water Crown Point 38 and it has not disappointed in anyway. This is now my daily wear and by far my favorite watch in the collection. If your thinking about it, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed. These Open Water watches are an excellent buy!

In a world of black, white and grey, I give you the highlighter yellow Open Water 38 Swell. Just like my other Open Water watches, the craftmanship is outstanding and the fit is perfect for my 7 inch wrist. This watch really stands out and commands attention. It is like no other color in my collection. The color makes me smile whenever I look at it. It's a really fun watch.

Been wanting an Open Water for awhile. Scored a display model during the recent sale. Am very impressed and think it's more than worth it, even at full price.

I absolutely love the color of the watch ! Very nice for the quality and price 👌 what's not to like? Customer service was fantastic! Put my Liv back in the box found my new favorite thanks Vero for a great transaction!

I have collected watches for almost forty years, but it’s been a long time since I looked down at my wrist and genuinely smiled.

The proportions, quality, feel, and thoughtfulness that went into the design of the Swell 38 are incredible. I wanted to say thank you for offering such a timepiece at a reasonable price and I am always willing to support a USA company!

I look forward to happily wearing this watch for many years to come (or until my son steals it!) and just wanted to pass along my impressions.

Love it

Love, love. love this watch! Excellent quality equal to watches costing much more money. Lime green color is way cool and makes quite the fashion statement. Also, need to comment on the Vero customer service team. The first watch I ordered arrived DOA and when I contacted them they responded same day and sent me a replacement overnight with a label to send them back the defective one. A company that truly cares for their customers. Highly recommend the Vero watch company!!

This watch is absolutely stunning. I love the feel, the colors and the quality.

So much watch for the money. I will buy the white when it comes back in stock.

I have been collecting for over 30 years. I was recently exposed to one of your pieces and thought I would give it a shot. I have owned several Nodus watches and the clasp is exceptional. It is what pushed me over the edge to buy. I was not disappointed at all. I have paid twice as much and not received something of this quality. More bold colors in the Open water 38 and I would buy them all.

Better in person than in photos.
The size, the weight, the undeniably cool neon yellow… it feels premium and unique.
I am super happy with my purchase

The Open Water 38 exceeded my expectations. A unique small sized diver, an all-blasted case, housing a trusted & reliable Swiss-made Sellita movement (no date), regulated by Vero for optimal accuracy. Best execution of a quick-release bracelet I've seen from an independent brand, actually works as designed, & the Nodus clasp is a bonus. All of this, backed by the best warranty protection in the micro brand space. Rates right alongside the big manufacturers' 'keepers' in my collection as as favorite, couldn't be more pleased. Unmatched value.

I returned it. Too small for me. Awaiting credit.

i had high expectations for this watch, and they've been met. i was expecting
a perfect fit on my 7-1/4" wrist, and i got it. The watch actually wears, to my eyes, a bit larger than its size, i think that's because the dial and bezel have the exact same hue, so it's one color edge-to-edge. the SW-200 is an excellent
movement, and the slimness of this watch, well, mine measures 10.4mm, and
for a 200 m dive watch, that's quite excellent. Some people call this a "summer
watch" but i expect to be wearing it all year long. the lume is bright and long-lsting, it goes all night, and i really appreciate that...all-in-all, this is an excellent
watch, thanks.

I bought the bright yellow Vero Open Water 38 in July. Striking with the color, but very minimalist and really thin case are a unique combo. Bezel has nice click and zero play. Quality bracelet and case. Blasted finish gives it a dark matte surface, that gives distinctive and quite robust look. Only gripe would be the blasted finish can show smudges. Bracelet is pretty comfortable and quick release makes changing straps super easy. Absolutely love the on-the-fly adjustable clasp. Simple design with striking color and black baton hands makes it easy to read. Overall looks and wears awesome. Slick looking diver. Had zero issues. I’m very happy with it.

Also had to mention Vero’s customer service. Unfortunately I made a mistake and had to update info on my order. Communication was great and super quick.

I want to downgrade my previous review to one star. I bought this watch recently. The box it came in had entirely fallen apart during delivery. The watch appeared undamaged and I thought I was lucky, however 2 weeks after receiving the watch it has stopped working entirely. It just want stop ticking again after winding. Really disappointed. For the price VERO charges you’d think they would deliver in a sturdy box and a watch that would last longer than 2 weeks. I hope the 10 year warranty covers this

Really happy with The Cove. I have it to my girlfriend as a sporty watch birthday present and she loves it. The off white dial and bezel go really well with bracelet or nato straps and it looks great in all lighting conditions. The box it came in was terrible. It had practically fallen apart around the watch, fortunately the watch did not appear to be damaged but I’d think twice again from ordering from VERO given the value of the contents it’s boxes are meant to protect. I think I got lucky the watch came in one piece!

Awesome

Edges of metal band and buckle are a little sharper than I’m used to.
Enjoying the look and accuracy

Love this watch. Just got it and don’t plan to take it off. Great fit and great look. The ads didn’t lie! Thank you!

I hesitated on this initially because 38 mm is a little bit smaller than my usual preference. I needn’t have worried as the matching cerakote finish on the face and bezel gives this watch a lot of presence. The photos don’t do this watch justice as every little detail is beautiful and the quality is superb. Also, the Nodex bracelet is great, something we should see more of. Lastly, Vero’s customer service is incredibly responsive. I had an issue with the fit of the bezel and within a few hours was sent a mailing label to send the watch back for adjustment.

You know how they say “you just know” when you meet the one? I just knew when I saw this watch it was gonna be mine. After spending some time with it my initial impressions are strongly positive. Sw200 sitting about +7-9 SPD, but I’m sure it’ll settle down. Bezel has solid action, no play. Size is spot on and wears bigger than 38mm on paper might suggest. Bracelet is comfortable as any oyster bracelet is, albeit a lil heavy (subjective). The micro adjust is killer especially in summer when you swell in the heat. What else…taken it to scuba class and pool laps in the morning, no issues. Oh the quick release on the bracelet is awesome! Love the double spring action, it’s as good as omegas. Anyways…fun flirty and thirty west coast vibes with this watch, love it so far and you will too! Take the plunge into open water!

Crazy high quality, superb.

If you are not into bright colors, be warned, the Swell is not for you. Lucky enough there is more muted white version that might strike your fancy. From the Cerakote dial and bezel; to the blasted matte finish on the case and bracelet; to the Swiss movement beating inside - there is a lot to like in this smaller diver. Along with the striking color comes a 10 year warranty (so the owners seem pretty sure this little guy is built to last). This particular diver is a beacon of light on the wrist. I believe the simple, modern aesthetic of this timepiece (with the bright hue) makes this a home run for Vero.
