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 CAF2111.BA0809 2000 Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I've had this watch for about two weeks now and my initial impressions are as follows:

Positive:

Given that this watch is an automatic and it's not COSC-certified, I'd say that the accuracy is not bad. On average, it runs about 7-8 seconds fast per day.

Aesthetically, I like the way the watch looks. I like the abundant use of contrasting polished and unpolished steel throughout the face, case, and bracelet. At first, I was a bit weary of how difficult it may be to see the polished silver hands in front of a silver/white face, but the hands do stand out well so that easily reading the time is not a problem.

I've already accidentally knocked the watch against a lot of walls and concrete pillars. So far, it seems to be holding up well with no scratches or crystal damage.

Negative:

Although I haven't scratched it yet, I can see that I'll have to be especially careful not to damage the polished center links of the bracelet - if you like to rest your wrist on the table while working on the computer, the bracelet probably won't look new for long.

The fold-over clasp sticks and I can see it getting too loose over time. Tag should have used a push-button clasp - like the one found on my $200 Citizen.

The unidirectional bezel rotates a bit too easily - that can be frustrating if you actually use it for timing purposes like I do.

Overall, a pretty decent watch. I saved about 35% over retail by buying it through Amazon. Tag won't warrantee the watch because Amazon isn't an authorized retailer, but Amazon backs the product with their own warrantee.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAF2111.BA0809 2000 Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I own this watch since November 2011. This TAG is beautiful, very elegant and sporty at the same time. I have owned several other watches including a Rolex Daytona and this TAG gets more compliments from friends and unknown people than any other.

The watch is substantial, adequate for a medium to large wrist. The bracelet allows for plenty of adjustments. Being an automatic watch you can expect a little less accuracy than a quartz watch, mine runs slightly less than one minute fast per month.

Water resistant to 300 meters and sapphire crystal are a winning formula. This is a timepiece you can pass down to your children as it is very sturdy and durable.

Gave this gift to my husband on his birthday. He loved it! He said It's a great everyday watch. It's very light compared to his breitling. Well recommended for chronograph automatic movement lovers.
