Grommet Launch Conversation
-
Hello everyone! I'm proud to introduce Vierra Watches to The Grommet. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have!
-
You do realize that your model is wearing it upside down, right?
-
Well, Peg, if we wore it the right way, we'd have the name upside down and that wouldn't be very good marketing on our part...
-
@Mike
Have your model wear the watch the right way and take the photograph with the sleeve on the left, Marketing Genius. -
Hi David, we've done that shot before and didn't want to replicate it. It was more of a creative decision to have it as is. We encourage you to wear it the correct way.
-
@Mike
David has the solution. The pose you chose for your model is distracting for people who notice details (and isn't that your target audience?) Your answer sounds like a lazy cop out. If this is how you take care of details I certainly won't be buying one. Sorry. -
@Mike .............oh my...
-
Hi Donna, my answer is the reality of the situation. We made the decision to show the watch in a way you could read the company name. That was the detail we felt was most important in promoting Vierra. You better believe we will have David's suggestion in the back of our mind for the next watch photo shoot we do.
-
It's actually our fault (the makers of Vierra) not Mike's when we first started taking pictures of the watch we thought this was a good idea to display the name correctly - it's amazing how perceptive people are so currently we use different methods but just like the clarity of this picture - it is good for sparking conversations though ;)
-
@Mike
Different David....but I'm sort of with the other David...I can't get over the watch being backwards. I even searched online quick to see how other watch companies showed their watches, and they're all shown properly. I noticed it immediately and frankly it's maddening. Looks like a pretty decent watch and a fair price, but I can't get past it. I'm even in the market for a new watch in this style & price, but I doubt I'll be trying this one for that very reason. Credibility lost! It's like a model wearing a tee shirt backwards because the shirt had a neat logo on the back! -
We do not want people losing sleep or sanity over this photo so we are going to check to see what other photo options we have. It is a great watch at a very fair price and we want that to be the focus, not the orientation of the watch. Stand by, everyone...
-
Hey David number 2 (number 1 in our hearts) - We (the makers of vierra) actually took the picture - at first we thought it would be a good idea and be one of those (easter eggs) that some people would catch and others wouldn't so it's kind of a little fun thing for us really - we didn't think SOOOOO many people would notice though which is actually awesome how perceptive people are - we didn't think it would make people angry and make us loose credibility however or we wouldn't have done it like that - thanks for your feedback we will think twice before we easter egg next time
-
Sad people are getting so hung up on a picture. You realize you don't have to wear it that way? LOL. It's not that serious, and to say you won't purchase simply based on that or their reasoning is a bit immature.
-
Thanks Angelique!!
-
Yes, thanks, Angelique!
-
Great looking watch! Are the leather bands waterproof as well?
-
Hey Michelle! The leather is waterproof but will see normal wear as genuine leather does over time
-
I really love the look and the Made in USA part! Is the watch certified as a chronometer?
-
Hey Heidi - we have not gotten the watch certified as a chronometer yet but it is extremely accurate - we are in the process of getting it certified this year :)
-
Ladies need durable watches too. :(
-
@Kimberly Amen. Still bold, but less bulky.
-
You guys make great points! We have a few ladies that like the "boy friend" style watch so they have actually purchased Vierra Watches for themselves but we will definitely look into making something a little smaller for the ladies - thanks for your feedback!!
-
@Eric Please make a smaller version for women. I am tired of replacing watches. Many thanks for your consideration!
-
We will get right on it!! We have had a lot of desire for a ladies version of our watches so we will begin developing that idea - thanks for your feedback!!
-
Nice looking watches, but no specifications. What are the dimensions? Water resistant to what depth? What's the crystal made of? What kind of action do you use, and where is it made?
-
Hi Bruce, you can find all of that information by clicking on the "Buy" button on any of the styles under the video.
-
@Mike biggest pet peeve of mine, I've mentioned this before, and you have answered this a gabillion times. a simple format change would finally end the frustration by a small header: "click here for details", or simply give specs on the first page. I really think it deters your sales with so many folks having the same problem! ANY problem with site navigation will stop busy shoppers from purchasing?
-
Hi Christopher, it's one of the biggest pieces of feedback we get and I promise you it is not falling on deaf ears. Unfortunately, it's an issue without a quick, easy solution, but it is one we are working on ways to improve. The last thing we want is confusing people on their way to buy a product.
-
Great points Christopher we will add the specifications to the page and here they are for you specifically
Case: 42mm stainless steel construction
Crystal: Scratch resistant hardened mineral crystal
Band: 22mm ultra thick genuine leather
Movement: Custom Miyota Japanese quartz with date window in “6” position
Water Resistance: 10 ATM/100m/330ft. Rated for swimming & surfing. -
Are the bands interchangeable? I like the leather watch for every day use, but silicone would be nice for the gym or swimming
-
Yes Mysteree they are! We have a small tool that is used for easily interchanging bands and we sell the bands separately
-
@Eric AWESOME!! Where can the bands be purchased separately? I could not find that anywhere on here.
-
We will get that option added today! Just a note the silicone and leather are very easy to change out - the metal bands are a little more difficult.
-
So, is the watch Made in the USA? Or Made in Japan? Product details say both....
-
They're made in Japan. Watches originate based on their quartz. We mistakenly put made in the USA but have fixed it to reflect the correct info.
-
As a little more detail on what mike said all parts are sourced from Japan but the company is based in the USA
-
If you position the hand with the thumb down, you can display the watch correctly.
-
haha when we first started taking pictures of the watch we thought this was a good idea to display the name correctly - it's amazing how perceptive people are so currently we use different methods but just like this picture - good for sparking conversation ;)
-
Made in USA or made in Japan? Promo says USA, specs say Japan.
-
Hey John!
The company is based in the USA parts are sourced from Japan -
I'm hard on watches and am wondering if the black metal band is scratch and chip resistant.
-
The black metal band is scratch and chip resistant but if you were to take a sharp nail and scratch it repeatedly you would see the effects - great thing is we have a lifetime warranty that covers that sort of damage
-
@Eric Sounds good but one more question before I buy - It is larger than I am used to - does 1.75" include the stem?
-
Ask away Lloyd! With the stem it's more like 2" - to be honest the face is a little larger than I'm used to as well but it actually ends up being quite bold and stands out in a good way. The size compliments the simplicity in the watch face design and people compliment it all the time (before they even know that we own the company)
-
How wide is the face of the watch? Same question for the band. Thanks, JudyN
-
Hey Judith here are the full watch specs
Case: 42mm stainless steel construction
Crystal: Scratch resistant hardened mineral crystal
Band: 22mm ultra thick genuine leather
Movement: Custom Miyota Japanese quartz with date window in “6” position
Water Resistance: 10 ATM/100m/330ft. Rated for swimming & surfing. -
Do you have any intention to branch out into women's watches? The same clean look with a smaller face would be great.
-
We have a few ladies that like the "boy friend" style watch so they have actually purchased Vierra Watches for themselves but we will definitely look into making something a little smaller for the ladies - thanks for your feedback!!
-
Confused about manufacturing origins. The main description says Made in the USA, but the details under the leather watch said Made in Japan. Which is correct?
Also, I'd enjoy seeing the diameter and thickness in metric (mm), not just inches, as metric seems more common for watches. Thanks. -
Hi S, it is made in Japan as watches are from the origination of their quartz. It was our mistake to put 'made in the USA.'
-
Hey S!
All parts are sourced from Japan and the company is based in the USA. Here are the full specs on the watch as well
Case: 42mm stainless steel construction
Crystal: Scratch resistant hardened mineral crystal
Band: 22mm ultra thick genuine leather
Movement: Custom Miyota Japanese quartz with date window in “6” position
Water Resistance: 10 ATM/100m/330ft. Rated for swimming & surfing. -
Hi, The description says made in the USA, but further down it says made in Japan, so which is it? Also, what is the power source for this watch?
-
They are made in Japan, Katrina. It was our mistake to put made in the USA.
-
Hey Katrina (nice name by the way)
All parts are sourced in Japan and the company is based in the USA. A standard watch battery is the power source and here are the full specs as well
Case: 42mm stainless steel construction
Crystal: Scratch resistant hardened mineral crystal
Band: 22mm ultra thick genuine leather
Movement: Custom Miyota Japanese quartz with date window in “6” position
Water Resistance: 10 ATM/100m/330ft. Rated for swimming & surfing. -
The leather band page shows a wrist shot of a white watchface with gold tone hands and hour markings. Is there a white/gold combination, or only the white-with-black markings?
-
the white watch face actually has silver reflective tic marks so depending on the lighting they look slightly different colors
-
Hi, Eric. The description says the band is 3" deep and adjustable, but it doesn't really give a length range. (Saying it's 3" deep is kind of like trying to buy a pair of slacks that say the waist is 14" deep. Lol!) My husband has a big wrist and I can never find a watch that fits him.
-
haha great point Joan the watch is 11" long approximately :)
-
If it doesn't fit depending on the model you order (leather or silicone) we can source extra long bands for you!
-
@Eric That's great! Thanks!
-
Anytime!!
-
Eric will band fit a 9" diam. wrist
-
the watch is 11" long so it would be pretty close! If it doesn't fit depending on the model you order (leather or silicone) we can source extra long bands for you!
-
Is your date setting smart enough to respond to the month of February?
-
@Kenneth ... and, is it battery powered or wound spring?
-
This watch is battery powered and unfortunately the month of February still throws it for a loop but the date is easily adjusted
-
Will you be making these for women? We love elegance and simplicity also.
-
Hey!
We've actually seen in fashion trends that a lot of ladies are liking bigger faced watches these days. Our watch fits most wrist sizes comfortably without being too bulky. On women the watch looks bold yet not overly done. However a lot of ladies do like the traditional smaller faces so we are going to start developing a womens line as well. Thanks for your feedback!! -
Confirm this watch has a BATTERY quartz movement.
Do you lifetime warranty the battery? Also what service (every 5 years) is required and is it covered under the Lifetime Warranty?
Last question - Is the Black Metal watchband also covered by warranty? -
The watch is battery powered and does have a quartz movement. The battery is not covered by the lifetime warranty but the black metal band is. If any thing breaks or becomes defective we will cover it.
-
Now, design one for women!?
-
Hey Sandra!

Thanks for your feedback!! -
there needs to be a picture of the clasps on the site for each watch - close-up and laid out flat. Lose the picture of the outside of the boxes - what's the point?
-
Photos of the outside of the boxes give you an idea of the watch's packaging, Beth. We'll see if we can get those photos up.
-
Great feedback Beth we will take that into consideration!
-
Eric, please advise if you and Jeremy are the importers of record for the Vierra brand and if the complete watch( watch head, strap and box) are all imported from Japan, country of origin for the movement as indicated. Also, please provide the name of the company doing the fulfillment and providing the guarantee as I understand Grommet is the product launch company. All the best!!
-
Hey William!
Eric and I are the founders of Vierra Watches which is based in the US. We do all product design and then source our parts and pieces (watch heads, straps, etc ) from japan. We assemble the watches in our various locations (VA, FL, TX) based on demand and ship them out from the US. We have partnered with Grommet to provide their awesome customer base an opportunity to check out our product. Hope this answers all of your questions! -
Attractive watch. What sort of clasp is on the metal bracelet? Deployment clasp? Any way to make a temporary adjustment in bracelet length to accommodate a wet suit (for off-season surfing)? Does the movement include a hacking mechanism (to preserve battery life and to allow for synchronization with a time standard)? Does the crown screw onto the case (to improve water resistance and to prevent accidental resetting of the time/date)? I understand that you are not making a watch that is suitable for scuba diving. However, some of us have active lifestyles that require a pretty hearty watch in order for it to be something that "never had to come off".

2/6/2017 1:26 PMEric, please advise if you and Jeremy are the importers of record for the Vierra brand and if the complete watch( watch head, strap and box) are all imported from Japan, country of origin for the movement as indicated. Also, please provide the name of the company doing the fulfillment and providing the guarantee as I understand Grommet is the product launch company. All the best!!

Eric and I are the founders of Vierra Watches which is based in the US. We do all product design and then source our parts and pieces (watch heads, straps, etc ) from japan. We assemble the watches in our various locations (VA, FL, TX) based on demand and ship them out from the US. We have partnered with Grommet to provide their awesome customer base an opportunity to check out our product. Hope this answers all of your questions!

2/6/2017 2:57 PMAttractive watch. What sort of clasp is on the metal bracelet? Deployment clasp? Any way to make a temporary adjustment in bracelet length to accommodate a wet suit (for off-season surfing)? Does the movement include a hacking mechanism (to preserve battery life and to allow for synchronization with a time standard)? Does the crown screw onto the case (to improve water resistance and to prevent accidental resetting of the time/date)? I understand that you are not making a watch that is suitable for scuba diving. However, some of us have active lifestyles that require a pretty hearty watch in order for it to be something that "never had to come off".
