I’m glad you’re doing better and back making videos!

[@ToolwatchBoutique]

Super cool watch. I sold my Explorer 1, as well as my Tudor Ranger and am slowly missing them. This Vaer would be a cool substitution

[@felipeceballos1114]

What a way to comeback! Hope you’re fully recovered by now, we missed you

[@sleepinglysithia]

Thanks for the opportunity

[@mikekimball910]

vaer a7 nice looking field watch thanks for your time!

[@ZacGordon]

Thanks for this review! Love Vaer and this is a cool watch!

[@markzgmr]

Absolutely beautiful time peace. Thank you for this hearty video, I really enjoyed it, plust this watch is really a classic, would be very happy to own it.

[@CombatRat]

Just preordered the Vaer A12 Ceremony in gold. Another 36mm watch. I really like this size after purchasing my first 36 watch several months ago.

[@KhoaNguyen-mh3oj]

Nice watch and good review! I like the dial and movement

[@JohnnyRay15]

I have a Buddy that would love this watch! Great video as always!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thank you my friend!

[@instantcharlie1225]

Great video! I've been debating on what I want to get for my first Swiss-made timepiece for a few months now and the A7 Tradition keeps popping into my searches, so I'm glad to find at least one review on it! Idk what it is but it seems like most watch channels just let this brand fly under the radar, or they reviewed one of the quartz models and haven't spoken of them since.

[@Stanjara]

Because this is over specked with swiss mov. It's a micro brand with two guys running the insta marketing, and this is around $1k (tax and import). Let say you are buying a car... You can have Hyundai... for a price... and than you can spec it out. Leather, 200hp, 19"weals and everything... now you are going overboard and over specking that car, because you are going into Audi territory. Audi is a better brand and seen different than a specked out Hyundai. Around 1k... or whatever $800 you can have a well known brands that are seen different than Vear. That's why quartz from them makes sense, cause it a well specked quartz piece. Above that isn't reasonable, but if you like it, go for it. Oh and try to sell that Hyundai... nobody's gonna pay you back those specks.

[@tawny222]

Hi thanks for sharing, this watch reminds me of my younger days watching a black and white TV. It is simple and clean, and it’s easy to read time. Nice watch!

[@skiersl9]

Nice review! I have been interested in this brand and model for a while now.

[@watchaholics]

One of my favorite KZbin channels! Vaer have a few inserting watches.

[@jan77usz]

Very nice watch. Thanks for video

[@Aman-ei5zy]

Good review I have the C5 quartz version and love it...

[@knowyourhistory]

I met the Vaer founders at the Windup Watch Fair a few weeks ago. They looked happy to be there and I was surprised this small brand had a bunch of people crowding around their booth.

[@francomario893]

Thanks for always making these great videos.

[@MrModcat]

I find myself looking at smaller watches more and more now. Thanks for the review

[@mattditaranto6038]

Love this watch and great video as always!

[@vosillas]

Excellent review as usual 😉

[@batfink7452]

I have been keeping a eye on Vaer for a while, bought on of their quartz field watchs a while ago.

[@3Godfree]

Thank you for reviewing the VAER A7, agree the 36 when done right is an awesome watch size.

[@egbh5819]

Great review and great looking watch!

[@davidblount4541]

One of my favorite KZbin channels and the first microbrand I found when getting into watches. Perfect combo! And ready to try a 36mm.

[@anthonystevens8683]

A great quick review Guy. This looks like a great daily watch on a strap. The Jubilee influenced bracelet adds versatility as well for other occasions. Many thanks for sharing.

[@choond]

Great review. This is one nice looking field watch.

[@khairyalonto]

Nice review! I’ve been eyeing their dirty dozen but this explorer inspired watch would be a nice addition to the collection!

[@brizkrieg72]

Nice watch. Always informative.

[@steveb4012]

Hi from the UK, glad to see youre on the road to recovery. This is a nice watch, for someone like me with a visual disability, the legibility of this dial is superb. Nice logical, detailed review as usual.

[@galvinchiam2766]

Great review!

[@sinx.007]

I've got my eyes on the 36mm quartz version sine a few months ago, but still out of stock on their website 😞

[@JackThunderbolt82]

Sharp watch! Thank you for the review.

[@Dzamora612]

Cool video! I’m not sure about the bracelet, but overall I like it very much

[@Boreyn1]

I like the look. Would love the auto version of this watch. Thanks

[@stevecross1725]

Love the dimensions. As always, great video.

[@sportsracer5]

Cool watch, thanks for the review.

[@jefftouchman3844]

Great watch and great review!

[@vpapadim77]

Awesome video ! Awesome watch!

[@anthonystevens8683]

As always an informative view Guy. Over the last few years I've been gravitating towards smaller watches that wear larger than the dimensions might suggest like the Nomos Ludwig 36 and the Black Bay 36. Totally different minimalist styles but somehow seem to work for me. This Vaer is an interesting option. It may take some inspiration from the Explorer (3,6 and 9 Arabic numerals) but it's different enough to be its own watch. It replaces the batons with smaller triangles for the hour markers, Syringe hands replace the Mercedes hands and round 5 minute markers instead of sticks. Cases are different finishes as well. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

[@brandonfinley6389]

Great watch and excellent review

[@IStillLikeIke]

Love the look of Vaer watches I’ve been thinking of getting one for a while!

[@CooperThomas92]

Love that 36 mm is having a comeback, the A7 is one of Vaer’s best for sure. Nice rundown!

[@jonchaton7541]

Hi 👋, appreciate your work!

[@donho-vv8eh]

A nice, no nonsense review of a classic looking watch. I have a 7” wrist and one of my favorite watches is a 37 mm Citizen eco-drive black field watch. I think 38 mm wide watches fit my wrist best, which means 36-40 mm is a good range. Although this Vaer is at bottom end of that range, I can see that it would look great. The lack of a date makes it a bit less useful as a tool watch, but the resulting symmetry is gorgeous.

[@densonc5028]

Nice review!

[@markgreen2386]

Great watch giveaway. Nice affordable explorer style watch, fits any situation 👍

[@liverstee]

Really like the way this watch looks, almost like a mix between the Explorer and Ranger

[@TheWatchOut]

Nice video! And that's a good looking watch!

[@Bhethar]

That is one cool watch! Great design and great movement! Keep it going Vaer 🎉

[@jdukenski]

I greatly appreciate your content! This watch looks amazing. Everything about it places it squarely in my wheelhouse. Thank you!

[@dabec7463]

Love the watch size and the jubilee bracelet is my fav.

[@ck2k016]

How’s the staying power in terms of interestingness in the metal after a few days? Had a D4 that was an objectively solid little design. But it just seemed to lack a little “something” after a few days with it.

[@MamaBird306]

Interesting review!

[@musiciansmaintenance]

Very cool watch, thanks for putting it on my radar. Loved the review as well as many others you’ve done. Thanks!

[@jamessaund]

Thanks very much. Big call with the 1000 views but I hope you get them. Also hope you’re doing better now after the health stuff

[@kapooktu]

Love the look and comfort of the jubilee bracelet. I wish it tapers down to 16 cm though.

[@JSarmat86]

Nice watch that's well proportioned, good looking and it doesn't scream Rolex. Well done!

[@derekshearer9049]

Great vid. Love the watch

[@alanho5500]

There’s no way I will buy another seiko… and I simply love this watch max! 🖖🏻

[@edwardlara6737]

Great review, love the size and legibility of this watch.

[@TinBin-Craig]

very nice... love it .... cheers

[@WristWatching]

Man, I have no idea how you keep your hands so still while you’re holding these watches. That takes some skill! Sometimes I think it’s a photo before realising the second hand is moving haha. Thanks for the giveaway!

[@joecheng891]

Wow what a nice overall package! Has everything I look for in a field watch

[@RobinsWatchJourney]

Nice watch. Good review.

[@jroobz]

Awesome watch and review

[@fergieb7564]

Great and correct size for a non-diving watch. Good to see a Swiss movement inside too.

[@Robban.D.Jonsson.]

Assuming you have very slender wrists that is.

[@Brownrebel]

Vaer’s an underrated brand! Great watch!

[@Delmaz6]

Cool little watch. Nice daily beater

[@autostereoptic]

I bought the Hamilton Murph 42mm after seeing your review and love it.

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Vaer makes nice watches. I have the same Explorer you sold Guy and on my 7 1/2” wrist it fits perfectly. I wonder if you put an aftermarket glide lock clasp on it would you have kept it? Best regards

[@KemberSide]

I've been looking for a watch, 36-39mm, screw down crown, brushed finishing, simple layout, good lume, and under 1000 CAD. VAER seems like the solution.

[@simonwright6882]

Good looking piece and the explorer layout is a winner in my opinion.

[@cali_stroke]

Huge fan of the explorer so I’m in love with the look of this watch. Beautiful & interesting seeing an Explorer type watch on a jubilee

[@daletaylorjr.4786]

That’s a sharp looking piece. The size even works on my 8” wrist.

[@0xMaverick]

Hello Guy, watch looks amazing. Never tried 36 before, but it looks good for its size.

[@JustBlueFish]

36mm can be great if the watch is properly proportioned.

[@eliasburstrom3008]

Great looking watch!

[@Pietrow817]

very cool watch, love the size!

[@flynnster00707]

Great watch would love to be in a position to afford one, gotta start a collection somewhere!

[@bobbyrou]

Vaer has another winner here!

[@oskarsvavner8859]

Great review! I am planning to buy their solar variant that's coming out soon! 👍👍👍

[@corndogwillie2344]

Beauty! I need this watch

[@pengxiang5444]

I am a fan of 369 dial, This piece is awesome!

[@raymondha7699]

Thanks for calling this brand to my attention as it looks like a winner. I’m glad the bracelet and strap have quick removal spring bars. That being said, it’s makes me wonder if it’s really *that* hard to put a tool-less, adjustable clasp on a bracelet (without turning the clasp into a monstrosity like the Omega SMP300). Even 1-2 positions of on-the-fly micro-adjust makes a huge difference for all-day comfort (e.g. Omega ‘57 or Tudor Pro). I’ve discovered it’s a stealth reason watches stay or flip in my collection. Great video, Guy. 📽️ I’ve been watching your content for years - your no-nonsense POV is appreciated in contrast to other’s bombastic styles.

[@markfrith-e3r]

Sweet watch. Defo getting Rolex explorer vibes here, but changed up enough to make it their own. Bracelet looks decent as well. Nice review.

[@ivermec-tin666]

It is a handsome watch. Of course I have never seen a Smiths explorer homage in person. IMO this Sellita movement bests the Miyota movements used by Smiths. I was privileged to get to see the new offerings and prototypes at the VAER booth in San Francisco recently, and this watch does stand out, although I still prefer my VAER dirty dozen hand wound homage. Just today VAER announced the re-release of their "dress" watch, the A12. The first iteration was in gold only with a hand wound movement. The new release comes in gold or stainless with an automatic Sellita movement. I did get to try on the prototype of this watch and it is compelling. While VAER has made significant progress and improvements in their bracelets, for those who demand top tier features and build quality in a bracelet at achievable pricepoints, let's be honest, Christopher Ward is the standard bearer. VAER is tiny compared to Christopher Ward.

[@kaedengreenfield8521]

Beautiful Watch!

[@johnmonachelli5256]

Nice setup for the money definitely eating hamiltons lunch once they come around to a 2 button push on the fly adjust clasp well be talking

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching!

[@dhshatzer]

Here because the quartz version is on sale...I love the explorer vibe without being an outright copy.

[@LamarFaciane]

I really like this one! I think 36mm is the perfect size and I'd love to win this. Awesome contest and good luck to everyone.

[@robertkellett3191]

I've always been a big fan of 36-38mm watches. Fortunately this size also seems to be the style I like most. That would be field watches. I'll need to look further into Vaer brand watches.

[@alemsuljic4557]

It is an interesting watch. And desirable, especially the crown.

[@btab5332]

Nice watch, would love to own one

[@hoodoo8]

Great watch to give away, thank you

[@Darkmattersfrank]

Nice size watch. Not too over done.

[@jrrocketboy8482]

Defiantly a great looking watch. Been wanting to get a Explorer alternative

[@loogoo]

This is a great looking watch. I've checked out the quartz version as I really like the Explorer style, but this one really gives off the Explorer vibe without being an outright copy. I hadn't seen the automatic version (which I prefer over quartz) so this is definitely on my radar now.

[@hobokenarts]

Nice commercial for a pretty nice watch. A sprinkle of negative like the stamped clasp would of helped with credibility but 😏 I get it....keep the channel going-it’s one of the better watch review channels-you are doing a great job! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@malzahar33]

So did the giveaway happen?

[@JustBlueFish]

No this giveaway was contingent on the video getting 1000 views, 1000 comments and 1000 likes. It never reached those goals.
