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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch didn't work, neither did Amazon Customer Service, July 14, 2009

I bought this watch for my husband. He loved the watch, it looked great and had all the features he wanted. However, the analog and digital displays lost synchrony several times withing the first 30 days. It appeared from the instruction manual that the battery was fine so we sought to have the watch looked at. The Amazon 3rd party warranty was useless per them as it had not yet been 30 days since buying the item. So we tried to return it to Amazon for a refund. That process took since the end of May until the middle of July 2009 to complete. It took at least 60 hours on the phone, many reassurances that the watch could be returned, followed by many denials, and then finally a refund, minus a $200+ restocking fee. All the while it is impossible to talk with someone who can do anything about the process. The Jewelry department it separate and you cannot talk with them directly. There was a lot of run around and and frustration. After many more hours and several incorrect refunds, we finally have a correct refund completed. Use caution when buying expensive items you may need help with, we did not expect this type of problem with Amazon.

ps. the price has gone down since we bought this watch--beware, it could be the same faulty watch we got

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAF1010.BA0821 Aquaracer Chronotimer Analog-Digital Watch (Watch)

I was reluctant at first to order an expensive item from amazon not knowing if it was authentic. Sure enough it is genuine with original packaging, manual and Tag Heuer serial numbers. The only thing missing is the Tag Heuer 2 year warranty, which amazon provided their own 2 year warranty that blankets Tag's version, but only for US purchases. This is due to Amazon not being an authorized Tag Heuer dealer. You get the same watch if you were to purchase it at your local Tag Heuer authorized jeweler, but with the $2300.00 price tag, which retails for approx. $2800.00, less the world wide 2 year warranty from Tag Heuer. Fine with me, I saved a whopping 62% off the retail!! It looks great, has a heavy-solid feel to it, quality built, it combines analog with digital features (water resistant up to 984 ft, alarm, dual time zone, calendar, timer, chronometer, military time, diary alarm, date and option to save battery mode. I'm very pleased with my purchase. They provided free 2-4 day shipping and no taxes added. I opted for the overnight shipment price of $17.49. You will not find a lower price for this watch anywhere on the web from a reputable online store, it beats Ebay prices. I had the band resized at my local jeweler and they told me that the watch band alone is $[...] and confirmed that my Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronotimer is authentic. I recommend looking at the watch at your local dealer first then ordering it online with amazon due to their 20% restocking fees. For that matter, any high end watch brand and then compare the prices at amazon. Amazon exceeded my expectations and I definately recommend this Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronotimer with digital features. Try it out online at the Tag Heuer site, [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars Hour Hand misalignment, January 3, 2010

By 

Mobby - See all my reviews

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAF1010.BA0821 Aquaracer Chronotimer Analog-Digital Watch (Watch)

I am very frustrated that I received this watch and the hour hand is totally misaligned. For example... when it is noon, the minute hand points to "12" position while hour hand is situated between "12" and "1". The situation repeats itself for any of the other positions. I checked the manual and Internet but was unable to figure out how to fix it. Also, please be aware that such items as an expensive Tag Heuer acquired from Amazon do not come with the International Card warranty so you cannot take it for repair in one of the authorized dealers. After all, I believe that Amazon should make it very clear that the watches they sell do not carry manufactures warranty, but only Amazon warranty.
