What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto

The Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto is widely praised for its 39mm case size and refined yet rugged case design, with owners noting it wears well and fits perfectly. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the colorful, multi-layer dial, with one specifically appreciating the matte green dial's accenting of other colors. The watch's American assembly is also a point of praise. One owner found the fit superior to a previous Seiko "Baby Hulk." A reviewer noted the bezel numerals lack lume, and the date wheel's three-orange-one-green pattern is described as peculiar. One owner also felt the minute markers seemed oddly placed. The Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto uses a Miyota 9015 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and offers 200m water resistance.
