*Important for our customers outside of the United States: You, the buyer, are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand and cannot give you an estimate of the cost, as charges vary around the world. As an international consumer, please do your research to ensure there are no surprise charges when clearing your package through customs — we’d hate for that to spoil the moment of joy when your watch arrives on your doorstep!

If, after two weeks or less, you’re not head-over-wrist in love with your investment, you can return it (at your expense), provided your watch has never been removed from its original plastic wrapping and is still in the exact same condition it arrived in. To request a return, email info@traskawatch.com and we will send you a return form to complete and send to us alongside your watch.
Returns sent from outside the United States are subject to a $45 processing fee. This includes the creation of a pre-paid FedEx shipping label we will send you to ensure your watch sails smoothly back through U.S. customs.

"The white commuter 34 is a great watch. The finish, dial, and hour markers have a simplistic elegance that goes well with essentially anything. The domed crystal is something I’ve grown to love. The compact size on my 5. 9 inch wrist works great. For the price the bracelet is very high quality - and I swap it for a strap often since it’s very easy to remove with the quick release. I’m a huge fan of this watch and what Traska has created - I would recommend."
"I was looking for a 36 mm (or less), white dial, no date, simple everyday watch. I couldn’t be happier with the Commuter 34. For my 150 mm (5. 9 inch) wrist, the size is perfect. The dial is a crisp white with classic hour markers. At first I wasn’t sure about to domed sapphire crystal, but it’s grown on me. It creates a fisheye effect around the edge. The bracelet is of high quality for the price, and I really value that the bracelet has a quick release mechanism to be easily swapped with a strap, without tools. Overall a very high quality watch, and great value."
"I have a small wrist and specifically wanted a go to watch for travel. I am originally from Thailand with plenty of rain and beautiful beaches. First glance on your website had me hooked with the Faded Cooper dial with a perfect (for me) size 34 mm width. Big fan of the Miyota 9039 and I had to have this Commuter 34 mm. This is the watch I grab for the pool, beach and I get compliments when dressed up going out. Home run as far as I am concerned."
"Simple elegance. I really like my Traska Commuter 34. The dial, hour makers, and domed crystal are simple and timeless. The build and finish are great. I love the compact size. The bracelet is high quality for this price range, and the quick release feature makes it easy to swap between bracelet and strap. I would recommend."
"This is the most expensive watch I’ve bought, so it was a kind of leap of faith ordering online, but I’m happy to say that it’s more than paid off. Ordering and shipping was a breeze, and the watch in hand fits even my <6 inch wrist! The scratch resistance is real: it’s still in pristine condition after 3 weeks of regular wear, and I’m literally wearing it daily on a holiday as I write this, with the peace of mind that i can wear it from the pool to the shower to a nice dinner, knowing it won’t get scratch and, as an added bonus, it also won’t scratch my young daughter when I carry her. Zero regrets with this purchase."
"I gave this watch to my daughter who is very happy with it. The only regret is that the quick adjustment of the bracelet does not exist on the 34 version but I had not seen it. Otherwise beautiful watch, shock resistant and very beautiful dial. My daughter loves it!!"
"I very much like the understated elegance. It is not loud and at beautiful at the same time. Also like the hardness coating. I put my watched through the paces and this one is holding up pretty good. Would prefer some lume on the seconds hand. That is just a personal preference."
"Greetings all. I used to be a collector of modestly priced vintage watches. I got out of that game years ago. I am getting married soon and wanted to wear a watch I could pass down for the ceremony. My Commuter 34 in Adriatic Blue has been on my wrist for about a month and I love it. I absolutely love it. It's a sold piece that can last a lifetime. Refined. Simple. Elegant. Fully recommend. I might buy another. I love the Adriatic Blue and hoping in the future there will be another blue option similar to the Summiteer that I can buy also."
"This is the watch that you would have bought in 1960s or 1970s, brought up to today's standards, minus the Swiss decision to abandon the middle class. Don't be beguiled by brands making expensive styling exercises. This is the unabashed homage, yes in style, but more, to a whole mindset of a certain time. And it's their customer service as well. If you value quality over status, care over profits, and a watch that fits you rather than the other way around, then this is the watch for you. Full stop. I have been collecting for over 30 years and there is no other brand out there that does it quite this well."
"While I had my eye on the Commuter for some time, it took a setback to give me the nudge I needed to finally make the purchase. With a 7. 5-inch wrist, I opted for the 38mm Commuter in Adriatic Blue, and the size feels exceptionally well proportioned. The execution is impressive: a beautifully boxed sapphire crystal, finely finished hands, crisp applied indices, and a bracelet that feels thoughtfully engineered. Even the crown action is remarkably smooth and precise, reflecting the attention to detail behind the piece. After wearing it for a couple of months, I decided to put it to the test and wear it exclusively on my trip to Iceland. It was on my wrist as I hiked through storms in the remote Westfjords, warmed up in the hot springs of the Highlands, and spent multiple days navigating unpredictable rain, wind, and snow. I walked on glaciers, crossed lava fields, and visited some of the most striking waterfalls in the country. The same watch that felt perfectly suited to those conditions transitioned effortlessly a month later when I wore it to a wedding. It carries itself with equal confidence in both settings. Looking at the Commuter now, it marks a period defined by forward movement, exploration, and a renewed sense of resilience."
