Amazon.com Product Description

From Swiss watchmakers TAG Heuer, the elegant, performance-ready Men's Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 Stainless Steel Watch #WAN2111.BA0822 showcases a deep blue dial and a stainless steel unidirectional bezel with a matching blue finish. The bezel features bold white Arabic numeral markers in the 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minute positions, stick indexes on the five-minute marks, and dot minute markers from 0 to 15 minutes for easy reference and a bold look. The bezel complements an uncluttered face that shows off luminous accents with white stick indexes at six, nine, and 12 o'clock, a convenient date window at three o'clock, dot indexes on the remaining hours, and an unobtrusive minute/second tracker on the outer dial. The watch is held in place by a stainless steel bracelet band and a fold-over clasp with a safety. Swiss quartz automatic movement means that this precision timepiece is recharged by the natural movement of your arm. The sturdy 42.6-millimeter watch case is constructed of stainless steel, and the timepiece features a dive-ready screw-down crown. The watch face is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the watch itself is water resistant to 984 feet (300 meters).

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 Stainless Steel Watch (WAN2111.BA0822) (Watch)

I love this watch! Large dial... works great and keeps outstanding time as compared to my cheap Casio "atomic" quartz watch. Also, looks very durable for everyday use...not as delicate as my automatic Rolex (even though I still have the blue packing tape attached to the hasp). The only thing I didn't like is the date window is very small... need to wear reading glasses just to check what day it is.

Again, great precision instrument... those Swiss sure know how to make excellent automatic time pieces! I get a lot of praises.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Value-For-Money Swiss Watch You Can Buy, January 9, 2011

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer Stainless Steel Watch (WAN2111.BA0822) (Watch)

Wow, just Wow. I just got it in the mail. The build quality is IMPECCABLE. It easily matches, if not beats, the Omega Seamaster in quality and finish (i compared at the local AD before ordering).

PROS:

1. It looks 100 x better in real life than in the stock pics. The inner circle has a different metallic finish to the rest of the dial which really adds a lot of depth and dimensionality when worn in sunlight.

2. Accuracy is AMAZING! This is not a COSC-watch but EASILY performs within such limits. My WAN2111.BA0822 has thus far been averaging +4 seconds a day since I got it! The movement may be nothing elaborate, but the accuracy certainly is something special. Normally, you would pay two times the price of the WAN2111 to get a COSC watch with the same accuracy.

3. The dial may seem big (at 41mm) but it really is lovely, i have 6" wrists and it looks great.

4. Bracelet is great. Solid. Never had a better bracelet on a watch in my life. It is fully brushed too which is a great look on a diver.

5. The rotating Bezel is the BEST that tag has ever made. The grippy-accented edges are simply fantastic. I did not like them from the pictures online, but they are so fantastic in real life - they add so much utility and just look great.

CONS:

1. Lume isn't great, but hey - I can put up with that considering the above!

If I can leave one parting message with anyone who reads this - FORGET EVERY OTHER DIVE WATCH YOU'VE LOOKED AT - FOR THE MONEY THIS WATCH CANNOT BE BEATEN IN EITHER ACCURACY OR QUALITY!! Pics do not do this watch justice, either!

***** FIVE STARS ******

GOOD WORK TAG!

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer Stainless Steel Watch (WAN2111.BA0822) (Watch)

Just received the watch yesterday and was kind of nervous about ordering a nice watch online without the Tag warranty. Had a couple of links taken out today by a jeweler and so far so good. The watch feels very comfortable and is quite frankly very sweet. I wanted an automatic diver watch that was somewhat unique and didn't cost an arm and a leg. After looking at Longines, Omega, etc., I always kept coming back to the Aquaracer. Before the Aqua, I wore a TAG 4000 for about 11 years and its still in great condition. Hopefully the same goes for this piece.
