Purchased a similar style watch (TAG) for my husband this past Christmas (approx. $700) and although it was ok - it was not as nice as this one - so I paid the difference of $150.00. If you want something for going out, not really the watch for you, this is instead a nice athletic style watch; something you can wear everyday.
Be weary of the face size as well. My husband really likes big "manly" faces and this one was just big enough. I believe 44 mili.

Very good watch, has all the features. At first could not get used to the rubber band, I am ok with it now. I rather have a SS bracelet any time.

I purchased this watch directly from Amazon.com on sale in May of 2011 for 1220.00. After I purchased the watch but before I received it in the mail I saw this exact watch at the Tag Heuer store in Dubai selling for 1800.00. I am completly satisifed. I was a little hesitant at first dropping this kind of money for a watch with a rubber strap. But the more I thought about it I am a 32 year old bachelor who doesn't own a tie let alone a suit, so I figured this is exactly the kind of watch that I need. This is something that I wear and looks great with a T-shirt, shorts and sandals.

I had been deciding between a Formula 1 or a Tissot (One Touch) for a few weeks. When I saw this color scheme on the Tag I had to go for it. The all black play of the strap, dial, bezel, and case was what sold me. It's a bit surprising they don't offer more color schemes on the Formula 1 with the black titanium carbide case. After seeing it, the stainless steel cases on the Formula 1 with the rubber strap seemed a bit odd. I've been enjoying this watch for about 6 months now. A bit too sporty and substantial (almost 15mm thick) for semi-formal wear. An added plus, I just discovered on an exercise, is that the darker your environment the brighter the lume, (maybe flourescent lights charge it more[?]). The secondary loop on the strap has loosened a bit now though, which is my only criticism.
