Product Description

The TAG Heuer Story

TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer Calibre S Chronograph Watch #CAF7010.BA0815 (Watch)

I bought this watch on a whim and absolutely love it, and even better, the price. It is NOT an automatic, so it will make the ticking motion of a quartz, but when measuring time to the 1/100th of a second, automatics are not as precise, hence the use of quartz and what is known in the industry as a hybrid, basically the best of both worlds. Of course it is a unique movement to TAG and also this makes it special. In contrast to what I thought at first the directions are easy once you have gone through them two or three times and the details on how to set time and use the watch are engraved on the back you can have them handy, and I love the feature of storing the year, month, and date so no changing up for a month ending on the 30th, or earlier for Feb, including leap year.

I chose this as my "sporty watch", as I already have a mirrored-face Movado and a skeleton Accutron. However, it will do nicely for both formal and informal occasions. A very beautiful timepiece, I would highly recommend this one!

i'm a huge TagHeuer fan for their quality-design-price combination.

this watch houses the Calibre S movement, manufactured, patented and designed in-house by TagHeuer, and its very useful and accurate.

this watch has superb fit and finish and the all around quality you get from a TagHeuer timepiece.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer Calibre S Chronograph Watch #CAF7010.BA0815 (Watch)

The watch is lovely. Good weight, stunning looks, not cluttered. Just what you'd expect really. However, Tag Customer service is terrible.
The watch started jumping time. Basically, the minute hand would jump 10 minutes sometimes twenty minutes - just a random amount. Note to others - you can realign the hands to line up with the markers. This not that problem.
If you put the watch in to stopwatch mode, you would see the hands would not all be at 12. So the time reading became unreliable. Tag's standard repair time is 5 weeks in the UK. When the watch returned, it showed the same problem. Tag clearly had not checked the watch. 2nd time back, 3 weeks later the watch appeared to work but this time the minute and second hand would move if the watch watch gently rocked and then not align with the markers. When I went to re align the hands, the hands would not sweep smoothly instead they juddered. Back for a 3rd time and Tag replaced the whole movement. On return the same problem existed and Tag claimed the Claiber S shows this "characteristic". Well my original watch did not do this and I've checked other Caliber S watches and the do not do this.
12 weeks have passed and I am finally getting a replacement watch after threatening to get my credit card company involved (Section 75). Please note Tag are not replacing the watch as they claim no faults exist. The shop is replacing the watch because my contract is with them.
All in I've had Raymond Weil watches, Longines and they have been perfect. I will not buy another Tag due to the stubbornness and and lack of Customer service.
