Vincero Watches - An Overview
Vincero came into the market with a solution that every fashion pursuer on a tight budget seeks: to make style affordable while offering a relentless commitment to quality.
Effectively, they recognized that the market is saturated with overly expensive watches that all too few could afford, many of which didn’t even hold up in terms of quality.
On the other hand, there was an influx of retailers trying to push ultra-affordable pieces that had very little to offer to the prospective owner.
And that’s what sparked the brand’s quest backed by their signature motto that’s still engraved on each and every timepiece they produce – “Live Your Legacy.”
Ever since they’ve officially opened their doors in early 2014, Vincero has done a stellar job at living up to their promise of delivering premium-quality timepieces at an affordable price-point.
With a small-batch approach to manufacturing, the brand value isn’t over-saturated, while also allowing them to be far more dynamic with their catalog than most other brands in the space.
The Vincero Watches Review of The 2021 Collection
If you are here to find out which Vincero watch is the best watch to get for yourself or as a gift to that special someone – we’ve put together a comprehensive review of Vincero’s entire 2021 watch collection.
Below, we will take a look at the quality of each watch along with its specific features and unique functionality to give you an in-depth scoop of what these watches are all about and why they are becoming increasingly more popular with each passing year.
The Vincero Chrono S - Our Favorite Vincero Watch In 2021
If you’re looking for the perfect combination of class, sophistication, and functionality – the Chrono S is definitely a watch that you should jot down on your shortlist.
This elegant watch is a true testament to the attention to detail that Vincero is known for. Available in 43mm and 40mm sizes, it’s the perfect universal fit for just about any occasion.
Materials and finish
The Chrono S series is a standout collection because of the impeccable attention to detail that is given to each design, which helps give these watches that unique bold statement.
The design reflects high-quality craftsmanship, with the historic Italian marble case-back giving the watch a truly stunning finish. At the same time, the surgical grade stainless steel case further adds to the aesthetic appeal while also making the watches highly durable and reliable.
And the comfortable soft genuine leather straps make this watch an absolute pleasure to wear.
Casing and display
Each model in this collection sports a modern look mixed with refined classical elements.
And as with all Vincero models, the Chrono S sports the signature “VENI VIDI VICI” engraving with the option to customize the message to your own preference available.
The sunray dial and polished sapphire crystal also add enormously to the splendor of these watches, while the shiny rim and case make the watch a thing of beauty, especially during the daytime.
Straps
When it comes to the straps, the Chrono S collection features bands made from genuine Italian leather that feel comfortable and luxurious when worn on your wrist.
The leather straps have a glossy layer that adds to the overall style and appeal of the design, while the perfect stitching on the strap gives the watch an extra bit of class.
Other details
Following the brand’s commitment to minimalism, the Chrono S doesn’t feature any numerics on its elegant sunray dial. All the while, the polished sapphire crystal, and impeccably positioned sub-dials give it a solid bit of class backed by a contemporary elegant look.
The size of the subdials is also kept adequately small to keep the watch face clean, but not too small so as to affect the legibility of the markings. And topping things off, you’ve got the traditional square date window that sits peacefully between 4 and 5 o’clock.
Last but not the least, the three setting knobs on the right side of the dial are fairly sized to let you adjust the watch comfortably using your fingers.
One thing that we liked quite a bit about the setting knobs is that the distance between each knob gives you enough space to individually set each dial without disturbing other settings or feeling cramped.
Pros:
- Sophisticated and classy design
- Very reasonably priced classical design
- Scratch-resistant watch face
- Convenient mini-dial placement
- Durable surgical grade stainless steel case
- Beautiful interchangeable leather straps
Cons:
- The watches feel a little heavier than comparable models due to the steel and marble combination used for the case.
- The date scroller is positioned a little awkwardly and can sometimes be hard to read while glancing over at your wrist.
The Vincero Kairos
The Kairos watches embody elegant simplicity in every aspect of their design and are targeted towards a more youthful professional audience.
This range features six different watches, each sporting a simple case design, eye-catching strap color, and refined classical dial.
All of the models in this collection have a similar dial design and shape, with subtle aesthetic differences that make each model stand out from the next.
Materials and finish
The Kairos is made with a solid stainless steel case, featuring a 42mm mineral glass dial that fits perfectly on most men’s’ wrists. While the watch is certainly not designed for intense water fun, it is water-resistant to a depth of about 100 meters.
The sapphire coating on the watch also protects the mineral crystal, giving the watch a sophisticated appeal while adding to its overall durability.
Casing and display
Like all other Vincero watches, the back of the Kairos has “VENI VIDI VICI” engraved on the casing. The mineral glass dial comes in jet black, plain white, and rich blue sunburst, creating different combinations for your style needs.
The best thing about these colors is that they can go with any outfit and can be worn on any occasion. Another notable feature of these watches is the luminous hands, making the dial visible in low lights or pitch darkness for your convenience.
Straps
The blue variant of Kairos watches features crocodile stamped leather straps with sophisticated seams on the sides while the gold and matte black variants sport a simpler toned-down mesh band.
Between the two kinds of straps, the mesh bands are comfortable to wear and feel light on the wrist as well. These mesh bands don’t pinch the hair on your wrist and the clasp mechanism they offer is fairly easy to use.
Other details
The Kairos watches use Miyota Citizen quartz movements that are known for their durability, reliability, and value.
The use of antique fonts for minute markers also adds to the simplistic style of the watch, while not making it look too bold and busy.
Pros:
- Simple dial design that makes the color stand out
- Minimalistic yet classy and refined look that goes well with any outfit or occasion
- Very reasonably and affordably priced
- Two years of comprehensive manufacturer warranty included
Cons:
- The leather strap is a little stiff and may cause discomfort after prolonged wear
The Vincero Vessel
The Vessel collection takes its inspiration from the traditional dive watch and packs an ocean of uniqueness, luxury, and high-quality craftsmanship.
Taking you through a voyage of style, elegance, and simplicity with the entire range of its watches, these luxurious timepieces are fully waterproof, as hinted by the name itself and packs a number of features that make it a great fashion accessory for you.
If you are a diver or a swimmer, this wristwatch is just what the doctor ordered.
Materials and finish
The Vessel watches feature a 316L stainless grade steel construction with a pure sapphire crystal that makes the water form beads on the dial instead of spreading out and impeding your view of the time when underwater.
Casing and display
Usually, Vincero watches have a marble element in the back of the watch that makes it less water-resistant than other watch manufacturers.
However, the case on the back of The Vessel is made of a stainless steel plate that has been laser-treated to replicate the look of real marble. This means that you not only get maximum water resistance and durability from your wristwatch on underwater excursions but also look classy while doing so.
The Vessel offers an impressive water-resistant level of up to 200 meters.
As with all other Vincero watches, the back of the casing has the “VENI VIDI VICI” phrasing etched on it.
Perhaps, the greatest selling feature of the Vessel watch collection is their unique dials. The dial features a sharp navigational arrow that mimics the shape of a V, marking 12, 6, and 9 sticking to the ideals of minimalism and subtlety.
The 3 o’clock mark sports an abbreviated arrow, with a date box placed adjacent to it. And the polished frame also adds a classical feel to the dial, while the overall appearance of the dial gives off the impression of an old compass.
Straps
The silicone band, while less luxurious than leather or a mesh band, actually takes comfort to a whole new level while ensuring the watch’s durability underwater.
The straps are also interchangeable with any 22mm band or with a steel link band or NATO strap. All the straps offered with the Vessel are designed with an underwater excursion in mind, so they are comfortable to wear and don’t feel heavy on the wrist either.
Pros:
- An innovative take on a classic dive watch
- Fits the wrist with perfect comfort while making a bold statement
- Increased water resistance of up to 200m
- Stylish dial design that adds an entirely unique aesthetic flair to your timepiece
Cons:
- The crown is sensitive to touch and moves a little too easily, which sometimes results in a somewhat involuntary readjustment
The Vincero Altitude
After taking a deep dive into the ocean of style and elegance, it’s time to fly high up the heights of confidence and boldness with Vincero’s Altitude pilot watch collection.
Available in five different color combinations, these watches are suitable for sporty people who live life on the go and prefer to head out in casual and informal clothing most of the time.
Materials and finish
This 43mm watch is made of brushed silver-toned 316L surgical grade stainless steel that doesn’t only make it durable but also suitable for people with sensitive skin.
The low-nickel metal finish also gives this watch a stylish timeless feel while adding significantly to its casual appeal.
Casing and display
The luxurious crystal features a sapphire coating that makes it scratch-resistant, consistent with other Vincero collections. This coating also gives the watch a unique sheen that commands attention and attracts compliments.
Now when it comes to the dial, the blue sunray design offers a casual look that is equally toned-down and fashionable. Arabic numerals neatly displayed with white and silver hands stand out clearly against the dark background and give these watches a truly unique look.
The dual-time and 24-hour features make it a suitable pick for frequent flyers who like to keep track of time while on the move. The sub-dials measure time from 1 to 24 hours, while the top sub-dial also has day and night settings.
Straps
When it comes to straps, the top grain leather strap is sure to send out a sporty vibe but might feel a bit stiff around the wrist when you wear it for the first few times.
This is because the material is still new but after a few days of wearing it on your wrist, the material will break in and become softer, somewhat flexible, and a lot more comfortable in terms of fitment.
The fact that the strap is made of top-grain leather makes it more uniform looking but the downside of this material is that it actually lacks durability. If you wear the watch on a daily basis, it might start to wither away and feel old and chippy after only a few years.
However, the upside here is that you can always change the strap when it begins to wither and fade from wear and tear.
Pros:
- Sporty sleek modern design that appeals strongly to those of us who prefer relaxed casual attire on most occasions
- Elegant sapphire coating keeps the crystal scratch-free and gives it a luxurious look and feel
- Dual-time functionality with a 24-hour sub-dial
- Very sturdy case made out of surgical grade stainless steel
Cons:
- The crystal rises above the bezel that could make it prone to accidental chips and cracks along the top edge
- The top-grain leather strap isn’t the most durable
The Vincero Rogue
This particular collection takes a detour from the combination of thrill, fun, and freedom from formality that Vincero is known for – treading into the realm of the unexpected.
These watches give off a far more serious-looking appearance with a touch of sporty aesthetics.
These timepieces, as their name suggests, reimagine the concept of going rogue when it comes to the commonplace constraints of modern-day society, and offer you a style that truly complements your individuality and persona.
Materials and finish
The robust surgical grade stainless steel gives the watch a sturdy feel. At the same time, the 43mm sapphire crystal adds to the aesthetic appeal of the watch while keeping it scratch-resistant for the most part.
The case finishing is also done in a sleek matte black, making the watch fall perfectly into the category of rugged and cool watches.
Casing and display
When it comes to the dial, there is a lot going on around that area. The dial features a black tapestry pattern that blends elegantly with the silver hour batons.
The second hands of the main dial and sub-dials complement the silver and black color scheme perfectly.
The sub-dial near 9 o’clock is a 60-minute Chrono timer, whereas the hour Chrono timer is seen positioner just near the 3 o’clock mark.
At first glance, it may seem like the dial is too busy, and reading the time may take a bit of getting used to in low light conditions. However, luminescent highlights on the hour batons, make reading time in low light and even in the dark a total breeze.
Since this is a sport watch, every aspect of its design is about being sporty and even a bit flashy. The crown and adjacent pushers come with a red stripe, which may seem like a small detail at first, but it actually adds enormously to the overall style and appeal of the watch.
When it comes to handling the crown, you have your classic and ever-dependable pull-twist-push knob that helps set the time and date.
Straps
As with most Vincero watches, the straps that come with this watch are made from top-grain leather and measure 26mm in width.
For those with smaller wrists, this might be an uncomfortable fit, but for those with thicker appendages, this watch may just be a perfect fit.
The Rogue Collection also has a small “V” drawn on the buckle which is another subtle detail that helps make these watches tasteful, sporty, and extremely pleasing to the eye.
Pros:
- Highly tasteful color combination and overall design choices
- Sporty design with a rugged modern appeal
- Extra bright luminescent lights that do not look too distastefully green
- Interchangeable 26mm straps that fit men with larger wrists perfectly
Cons:
- Priced more expensively than Vincero’s other watches
- Can be a bit too bulky for smaller wrists
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to maintain a Vincero watch?
Vincero uses high-quality materials to manufacture its watches and makes sure they last for a long time even with very little maintenance.
However, there are a few small things that you could do to increase the longevity of your Vincero watch and keep it looking as good as new for many years to come.
Since all Vincero watches are made of surgical-grade stainless steel, it’s extremely easy to clean them. You don’t need to buy a special polish or cleaning liquid for your watch. You can simply take a microfiber cloth and wipe down the crystal gently to remove any smudges or dust particles.
Using a cotton cloth is not recommended for cleaning your Vincero watches. This is due to the fact that cotton threads tend to get stuck between the crown and the casing or in tiny crevices while you are wiping the watch down.
Wiping your watch every night before going to bed prevents sweat build-up that can result in increased deterioration of the straps and even the watch mechanics.
And while you’re at it, it’s a good idea to avoid using any liquids or chemicals on the dial as it degrades the sapphire coating over time.
How wide is are the straps and are they interchangeable?
Most Vincero straps are made from leather and are generally 22mm in width, which easily fits most 40mm-43 mm casings.
The straps on Vincero watches are also interchangeable and the default pair can be swapped out with any other bands that you can buy from their website.
This gives you total freedom when it comes to pairing your watch perfectly with your favorite outfits.
And did we mention the fact that changing your straps is a total breeze?
All you have to do is gently slide the lug-pin back on your strap and it pops right out. To put a new strap in you just need to line up the pin with the lugs and gently let it pop into place.
Which movements do Vincero watches use?
Among most of their models, there are two movements that appear the most in the Vincero lineup. These are the Miyota Quartz movement seen in the Kairos and Chrono S, as well as the Seiko Mecha-Quartz movement that you’d find in the Rogue and Bellweather models.
While neither of the quartz movements is really apt to be labeled as a “premium” component – they are both incredibly functional and reliable. And as a cherry on top, they’re trusted to this day by top watchmakers like Seiko and Citizen for their mid-tier and low-upper-tier lineups.
So, Are Vincero Watches Any Good?
Vincero came into the market with one mission only: to offer people high-quality watches at reasonable prices. Vincero watches are built to last and made to fit your unique style.
From material, design, to overall finish, functionality, and other stylish features, these watches are certainly high quality and extremely durable making them perfect for everyday wear.
If you are looking for classy watches, you can find one in their Kairos collection. If you are looking for a sturdy, sport watch, The Rogue and the Vessel might be just what you have been seeking. And if you are looking for a more stylish and formal look, The Altitude and The Chrono S are two designs that certainly deserve your attention.
It seems that the Vincero 2021 lineup has a watch for pretty much every occasion with a wide range of styles that appeal to people in practically all age brackets.
