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 CAH1014.BT0718 Formula 1 Grande Date Chronograph Watch (Watch)

What's not to like? I bought the watch because I wanted something sporty to wear and this is "in your face" sporty and stands out just like a nice watch should. I like that it's all about keeping time and doesn't try to be anything it's not. I like that it's a limited addition with only 10,000 made which gives it a boost of owner satisfaction and storyline. I would at times like the hands to be more visible in the dark, not that it's bad, I just have to concentrate more than I expected. This might be a "be careful what you ask for" request though. Wouldn't want to take anything away from the beauty of the watch if that's what it meant and it's not a big deal so I changed my expectation. It's fine.

Now, one thing that does suck. The watch band is fine, made of rubber, and has great red highlights that tie in with the watch. Cool, it is what it is and I was okay with a rubber strap. However, I went out to find the same replacement strap so that I would have a backup for when this one wore out and guess what it costs? I found it discounted for $325.00. YIKES. Even the one without the fancy red highlights was $120.00. For a rubber watch strap? Wow, maybe I just don't know but I'm not liking that at all. No way am I forking over $325.00 for a rubber strap.

So, should you have one? Well,if you can have anything you want then why not? What's not to like? I know I will enjoy this watch in my collection and smile at the thought of who will treasure it after I'm gone. They will surely say my Dad liked nice things. ;)
