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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Watch..., June 23, 2008

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAC111D.BA0850 Formula 1 Chronotimer Digital-Analog Watch (Watch)

I've worn many watches over the years, and I've learned that the good ones draw little attention to themselves. It's easy to think that quality is of little importance once you're spoiled by good watches. A few years ago, I replaced an Omega with a Citizen, having decided that the extra money spent on a quality watch was unjustified.

That watch (a $300 Citizen) had deep scratches in the chrystal within the first week, had water issues the first time I went in the ocean, and generaly was more trouble than it was worth. The bad experience was enough for me to go without a watch for three years, using my cell phone instead. I decided if I couldn't set aside the money for a good watch, I'd rather wear nothing.

Three months ago, I bought a Tag Huer F1 digital. I like the digital readout in the face. It has a countdown timer, a 2nd time zone read out, a stopwatch, an alarm (not mentioned as a feature on the Tag site), a date/second readout[13 ss], a day/date readout [FRI 13], and the option to display a plain black face.

What would I change? I'd add a backlight to the lcd for the dark. The luminous hands aren't all that bright. Other than that, nothing.

I'm hard on my watches, beleive they should be worn and enjoyed rather than protected. Even though I wore it working in the garage, where it got a banged around a bit, the Tag's chrystal is clear as the day I pulled it from the box. I went in the ocean the other day and had no issues, and have forgotten I was wearing it more than once. What can I say? Like any quality watch, it requires little attention... it just works.

4.0 out of 5 stars TAG Heuer Formula 1 Digital 6 months Review, February 2, 2008

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAC111D.BA0850 Formula 1 Chronotimer Digital-Analog Watch (Watch)

I have used this watch daily over the past 6 months plus. Would I buy it again? The short answer is yes, but there are a few minor irritations I would point out. First, the clasp on the factor metal band is too difficult to open and close for daily use. I fixed mine easily but it is still not ideal. A better clasp mechanism would be nice. Second, you turn the crown to change modes, settings, etc. A slow turn for minor changes and a fast turn for major changes. I find that just wearing the watch causes the crown to turn enough to change display modes which is aggravating if you want to leave it on a particular mode. This crown adjustment has also become more sensitive with time making it cumbersome to use sometimes. Lastly, I miss the second hand and the glow-in-the-dark hands do not shine very bright (TAG take a lesson from Luminox) but this watch was more than $1000 cheaper than the Kirium so still a good deal.

I was originally focused on another Tag model and saw this watch in a store. It had all the functions that I was looking for from perpetual date, timer and chronograph. The watch is also a nice size at 41mm and looks extremely sharp. This can be worn with a suit or casually.
It took me a while to figure out how all the functions work. Got a great price from Amazon and shipping was extremely quick.
Highly recommended.
