Can I swim with my Vaer watch?
Updated
by Vaer Watches
You can absolutely swim, surf, snorkel, scuba do anything else in-water with your Vaer watch.
If you didn't know it already - ALL Vaer watches include a waterproof warranty. Which is our way of saying, if you can flood it, we'll replace it (as long as your crown is sealed and your within your 2 year warranty).
If you do take your watch in the ocean we recommend rinsing the straps and watch case in freshwater after ocean use to remove any build-ups of salt. This is especially important with our Dive watches, which will experience a tightened or even jammed bezel action after extended salt exposure. To resolve this issue, simply soak your watch in warm freshwater.

What about Vaer straps?
While all of our watches are suited for in-water use, we do not recommend using any of our leather straps in the water. While leather is water-resistant, extended submersion can warp and damage the product - and we always recommend you switch to your Vaer ocean-ready straps for water-based activities (that's why we include 2x straps 😎 ).

Why is Vaer so confident in its water resistance?
Vaer Watches are rated to 10ATM or 100 meters of water-resistance, but that's just the start of the story.
1) Unlike a lot of brands, we individually pressure test our watches - meaning all watches we sell have passed an initial waterproof verification.
2) Our watches have a caseback and crown that use a threaded screw-down design to maintain an airtight seal.
IMPORTANT! - Do not expose your watch to water or steam if the crown is not secure. Our waterproof warranty does not cover flooding from misuse if the crown is unlocked.
