Aera Instruments Reviews 

Customer service was great , they really took care of me from start to finish . One of the best experiences I have had with a company . The product is excellent and the company is excellent !

It's really nice to see a watch company delivering high quality at a great price.
I've been looking for a modern pilots watch for some time, as most of the market seems dominated by retro designs, so just from viewing the first images of the Aera P1 I was intrigued. Once I looked into the watch in more detail, the movement, components and materials, as well as the 3 supplied straps (which are really good quality, and quick release) it seemed obscenely good value (you'd pay twice as much for similar watches with the same movement). I am really pleased I ordered, the watch has been on my wrist since it arrived last week, relegating my other watches. The quality is superb, the time keeping not far off COSC (-5/7 seconds a day) and I do love the design language. Add this to the really quick delivery, great packaging and the lovely personalised note, I am extremely happy with the purchase. I'd just like to add the build quality is incredibly robust at this price point, and the use of 904L steel really does elevate it above a lot of watches at this price and above. Well done guys, really looking forward to what you produce in the future.

Excellent customer experience from the moment I entered their website to the order being placed and on to super fast delivery. On unboxing the watch I was greeted with a personalised handwritten note, first class! The watch doesn’t disappoint either, I haven’t taken it off yet.

Absolutely delighted with this watch! It's a masterpiece of craftsmanship, balancing eye-catching design with subtle elegance. The attention to detail is impeccable. The buying process was smooth and speedy, making me an instant fan. This is more than a timepiece; it's a statement of style and quality. Highly recommended!

Impressed with appearance and apparent quality of my D-1. Feels like a watch that could easily justify a higher price tag. Nicely packaged and I liked the personalised note

Despite the note saying that dispatch might take place within a week, I received the watch after a couple of days.

Great experience through first enquiring about the models, being given time to see and examine them, placing my order and it subsequently arriving. Aera put in time and energy to get the customer experience right. Thank you for making my purchase an experience and not just another transaction.

Loving the watch! It is a work of art, wears smaller than the dimensions would suggest and is as well designed and made as watches I’ve owned at over 3 x the price. The purchase, packaging and unboxing experience actually exceed the others. I’m a huge fan and delighted to be in the Aera family! Much respect to the whole team.

I purchased the Pilot watch about a year ago, and it has been one of my favorite watches I wear in my daily rotation of watches (I have way to many watches). The Diver watch has always been in the back of my mind, and I finally decided to purchase it.
I could not be happier, I love large watches, anything 40mm plus, and the AERA Diver does not disappoint. Love both my Pilot and Diver Aera watches.

Today I received my Aera timepiece and I’m beyond pleased with the quality and look of this Watch. From the moment you see the note from team Aera you know you’ve made the right decision by buying Aera! I look forward to my next watch and proud to be apart of the Aera family

Excellent and personal service from Jas one of the owners of Aera.

This is a truly innovative company that only deserves to grow and grow to face the horological giants! Not a comment I leave lightly, but one written with evidence and first hand comparison with the very best.

The clarity of the faces, the attention to detail to ensure the legibility is crisp from any angle, the accuracy of the time keeping, the attention to detail and the success in making a wrist watch that attracts comment from everyone that observes it. More so than any Rolex, Panerai, Breitling, IWC or Hublot I have had the absolute pleasure to have owned.

Bravo Zulu Aera. I applaud and thank you for your passion and foresight in creating what deserves to be a classic timepiece. I look forward to many years of being part of the Aera story and supporting you in any way I can. Be well and be successful.

The guys from aera were phenomenal from day 1 and all the way till i got my watch delivered. The watch is extremely well built and feels smaller than its true size, so don’t let that hold you off.

I have purchased over 30 watches in my life and this has been one of my best experiences. From start to finish and every detail in between was perfect. The D1 diver is far better in my hand than pictured on the web... The fit, finish and proportions are spot on and the watch should be more expensive than they sell it for especially with high quality straps as well as covering import costs and shipping. Don't hesitate to purchase from Aera. Many thanks, Scott Lewis

Fantastic watch, fabulous customer service, impeccable attention to detail.

Website was nice and easy to browse and relevant info was present so nicely. Well organized. From ordering to shipping and delivery, care taken was commendable. Loved the handwritten note that came with the watch.

Das ist eine besondere Uhr, die gleichzeitig wunderschön, praktisch und einfach ist. Ich habe mich vom ersten Blick in die verliebt. Das ist eine große Freude, diese Uhr zu tragen. Danke Aera, ich bin jetzt dein treuer Aeronaut.

Beautiful piece, smooth delivery, and a personal touch with a thank you letter. The bands are on pair with what to expect from a high end product. Very satisfied to have gone away from smart watch to a classic analog.

it would be easy for me to keep gushing over how much I love my Diver D-1 that I bought about a month ago BUT, this is about AERAs watch pouch!
I’ve had the pouch about a week, giving me time to get a feel for it and what a feel that is.
I have the blue one, it’s a bit darker than it looked online , but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as it’s all personal preference. It’s a lovely rich shade of blue 👌🏻
I was surprised how small it is. It virtually fits the Diver like a soft leather glove.
Apart from the very simple & superbly efficient stud closure it’s made of 100% soft leather which feels fine to the touch-a very, very tactile experience
There’s no lining or roll inside, just open space of pure soft calf leather. Just slip your strap thru its own Watch strap loop and place inside the pouch for a luxury soft protective layer, flip the flap over the stud & you have a beautifully protected watch that has an artisan designer look to it.
A great travel size that can just be thrown in the bag or luggage. Can double up as a temporary spare strap holder on those travels while wearing the watch.
The price, well that’s subjective on all purchases, some may say it’s expensive and be happy with the box for their storage. Others may say it’s a great price or maybe even cheap as it’s really something special. Myself, I have to admit I do like a quality item that’s a bit different from the norm & that to me can often be worth the extra In some cases (no pun).
It’s a HoTT item as far as I’m concerned. Makes your watch look as good on, or off the wrist.
Am I happy with it…Yes, I am!!! 🔥💯
