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 I love this watch..., March 26, 2009

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAF1110.FT8010 Aquaracer 2000 Quartz Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I'm a bit of a watch geek, so when I saw this at a watch shop in Hong Kong, I picked one up. On its face, it's a pretty simple watch, but under the hood it has a stopwatch (with a full size sweep second *and* minute hand, separate from the regular time keeping dials, and a lap timing mode. (The thin silver (seconds) and red (minutes) hands are shown in the image above.)

It's waterproof down to nearly 1000 feet, which is kind of silly number, but that's in a test chamber. Take this puppy diving and that extra breathing room helps the watch take a pounding. When not adjusting the watch, the stem screws in tight to maintain a good seal, and keeps you from accidentally changing the time.

Pull the stem out half way to adjust the hour and change the calendar (with nice detents!) Pull the stem all the way out to adjust the minutes.

The top button starts and stops the stopwatch, the bottom button resets the stopwatch or triggers a lap time reading.

I'm a little embarrassed to say, but the black rubber strap is what pulled me in. Nice watches with metal bracelets are really not my thing and I've never found them comfortable. For my personality, this watch screams "hey this is a really nice watch that doesn't sacrifice its utility with a snooty band, and by gosh, it looks great on my wrist."

I compared this watch to other sites and even called one watch dealer online that said they would match any price. They did not. they said it had to be a watch dealer and insinuated that this watch was not new.They're price was about $300.00 more. We'll, the packaging was almost perfect. The watch is perfect aTAG Heuer Formula One F1 Mid Bracelet BA0851nd it was delivered faster than promised. I got a great deal and was very happy with the product and my husband and the rest of my family say I am very very picky.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice try... not well implemented., February 27, 2010

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAF1110.FT8010 Aquaracer 2000 Quartz Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I was looking for an analog watch, that had digital functions.
This watch has many flaws. First thing you notice when you first look at it is that its VERY hard to read the time, because there are lots of shining parts like the border of the digital window and other unnecessary adorns, and the worst part is that hands are hollow, and therefore hard to glimpse. So you look, and you have to MAKE an effort with you sight to read the time. You can NOT tell this in web pictures. I think is BASIC that you should be able to read the time just with a fast look...
2. the alarm volume is way to low. Way lower than a 45$ Casio. It wont wake you up unless you put it around your ear.
3. The digital numbers are hard to see.

I returned back to Amazon for refund. And I have not found replacement. Probably the Breitling Airwolf, but I would have to see it personally first.
