What you need to know when buying this watch:

It is exactly as advertised - a beautiful timepiece. Only negative: the brushed stainless steel on the band does scratch easily.

When I ordered the watch I chose the super saver option for shipping. FYI, Amazon will send it overnight anyway and still not charge for shipping. I'm guessing if I had asked for overnight it would have cost me, but by selecting super saver I still got overnight for free. They want to be able to track such an expensive item I'm guessing.

Final thought: you are purchasing an authentic TAG Heuer watch. However, you won't get the documentation/warranty from TAG Heuer like you would with buying it from a dealer. I needed to get my band adjusted and when I called a TAG dealer I got a lot of attitude and was told "even though it is an authentic TAG, we will not touch that watch or any TAG sold over the internet from an unauthorized dealer." (Apparently, TAG has not given their blessing to any internet sales. Probably to protect their dealers). However, there are plenty of jewelers that will take care of you, should you need it and Amazon does provide a warranty through a third party.

In the end, save $700 and buy it from Amazon.

I was looking for new watch price range under $3000.00; looked at alot of watches prior to choosing this one. I liked the appearance, durability factor and brand name that I trust. I would really suggest going to store to look at watch prior to buying based on photo only. They look either better or worse photo fails to capture aspects such as weight, build detail etc.

Went to several Tag authorized dealers all were at $1695 and would come off only $100.00 and eliminate sales tax. Paid $1079 at Amazon and selected next day delivery for total of $1093.

Take note that this watch is sold by Amazon, not some other internet seller, which means it is backed buy reputable amazon, 30 day return policy etc. I was apprehensive to buy from some unknown internet seller with disclaimers about serial numbers etc.

Dealer told me to beware of watches that not sold by authorized dealer because tag won't service if there is a problem.....called Amazon said since sold directly by Amazon they are authorized dealer.

Crazy difference in price 40% less on Amazon, jewlery stores are ripping people off. Only problem is that there are limited models sold directly by Amazon. However after browsing countless watches I was lucky they had specific one color and everything I wanted so for me was a no brainer.

Always happy with amazon service. Just wish they would broaden line of models they carry.

I'm one of those guys that are impossible to shop for. While I'm far from well off, I have enough cash to usually buy whatever minor gadget I'm fixated on. However, I couldn't bring myself to buy a watch of this caliber. My wonderful wife bought it for me for a wedding present, and boy do I love it.

First of all, definitely go with the watch with the blue face pictured above. The alternate model with the silver face blue dials is a bit harder to read, and IMHO doesn't "pop" as well as this watch. Also note on my browser the blue here looks more aqua. The blue on my watch is actually more of a royal blue sapphire color.

The watch has it all for me; substantially weighty, eye catching, shiny, versatile (Sporty, Casual and Dress), and it's a Tag! I went snorkeling and didn't even think twice. Watch comes packed in a cool presentation box. I'm sure this is minor - but even the glow in the dark hour markers remain easily visible throughout the WHOLE night. I like the way the date dial is conveniently positioned as well (Note the dial is positioned optimally for wearing on the left wrist).

Does Tag make sleeker watches? Sure they do. But in terms of a starter Tag, I'm not sure there is a better one. Maybe if I remain good through the 20 yr anniversary :)

I purchased this same watch from jewelry store in a mall back in 1999. I was in grad school and they were running a half off sale. I think I paid somewhere in the range of $650 for the watch. I wear it everyday and other than replacing the battery twice, I've never had a problem. I was given a Rolex as a gift a few years ago and it just sits, this TAG stays on my wrist.

This is the third Aquaracer watch I own and the first one from Amazon. I decided to buy a chronograph blue and it looks much better than the photo in the ad. I nice rich blue rather than an ligh blue as pictured. Classy, perfect size. I set the watch to the US atomic clock and has not lost one second in four days. I love it. Now with a three Tags , black, gold and silver and blue chrono, I'll have a watch for all occasions. I'm so glad I went with another Tag Heuer

I bought it from Amazon last week with an out of this world price. The product came on time & perfect condition.
It is all you can expect from this brand. The watch is large, not heavy, not light. As many said here, the blue is much deep and dark as you may think from the pictures. And it is definetely a good thing. The only flaw of this watch is that the zaphire cristal has not have antireflex treatment, so when you face the watch directly to an artificial source of light, it is reflected in the cristal, bothering you. You might expect this kind of treatment and a quality watch as this is it. Regards.

I spent a good deal of time considering this purchase. The watch was delivered to me in perfect manufacture condition and packaging. It is grey market since I didn't purchase it from an authorized dealer but it is the same high quality at a fraction of the cost. There are two things I will comment on, 1) the face is not as light blue looking as the picture, it is much more of a darker blue (which is a good thing), 2) Sizing the bracelet is not easy for a common jeweler. The pins are very tight (which is a good sign of precision). I would recommend taking it to an authorized dealer to size even though they may scoff at you for buying a grey market watch (that's their problem). If you want a TAG and want to pay less I recommend this item.

This watch looks excellent. It has a solid feel, is shiny and was easy to adjust after reading the book.

A local authorized tag retailer had the blue faced aquaracer for 50% off, so I snatched it up. I'm very happy with it! The stopwatch even helps me by keeping track of how long I'm spending with clients.

I bought this for my husband and it's amazing. He loves it and it looks beautiful on him. Has all the features he wants and you can't go wrong with a Tag.

Tag Heueur does not authorize sale of their products from *any* online retailers. They will not service it if you do.
