Bought this a few weeks ago and I'm mostly pleased with it. My one complaint is with the second hand sweep. Not as smooth as I hoped. My dad has a Rolex that cost him the same as this watch's list price (nominally $8000 as Amazon helpfully advertises) and the second sweep is flawless. Smooth as butter. Not so with the RS2.
I also note that Tag Heuer's very own Calibre 36 has a movement that is much smoother and aesthetically pleasing.
This snotty and admittedly petty expostulation aside, the watch is a very attractive time piece and keeps great time. Be warned that despite the titanium carbide coating, it is a very flashy watch and not as muted or understated as it may seem over the web.

first of all the watch feels amazing to the wrist and it doesn't weight at all...

another great thing is that it does not stand out on the bling-bling department(which is what I like)... but watch ppl REALLY take notice of it...

the thing I have with it is that the crown is a screw-in type ( that's somewhat normal) but were it really gets tricky is that the start/stop and the "reset" button are ALSO SCREW INS... so in order to use the chronometre feature you need to unscrew both of them all the way and when you are done u need to screw them in to keep the movement safeguarded from water....

once we clear that hurdle the watch itself is amazing.... I cant be any happier with the looks/feel of it... I cant wait to get 2 other straps so I can change the look every once in a while.

by the way the watch weights 119 grams and measures 43.0 MM without taking the crown into measurement.

I finally did it.

Just an awesome watch. The only thing I don't like about it, is that if you don't wear it, it doesn't keep time for long. You will never have to buy a battery but you will need to get an automatic movement case to keep current time when not wearing it. Unless, you plan to wear it everyday.

This is the Ferrari of watches in my opinion.

I saw this watch on Amazon couple months ago and really like the black and red color combination. However, I just can't see myself buying a $5k watch without ever trying it on, especially on paper it is bigger than any watch I ever worn.

So I went to a department store but they only have a similar one but in stainless steel. Even the sales associate told me the watch is too big for my skinny wrist :( Oh well, but then I tried the titanium version last month and I know I HAVE to HAVE it. I am so glad Amazon has the one day shipping for free cause I would have just pay the extra just to have it on my hand ASAP!!!

Now I am a proud owner of this watch and absolutely love it! The black and red color combination really stands out and the weight is just right and feel very comfortable on my wrist.

It loses about 2 seconds a day but it is quite acceptable for an automatic watch. The glass has a little bit of a blue hue to it and the silver hour indicators give the watch a little bit of bling bling (that's what she said).

This watch is hands down one of my personal favorite watches. The watch is very comfortable and the large face is very noticeable. I highly recommend this watch to anybody. I wish I had got it on amazon because I could have saved me a couple hundred dollars.

Why would anyone in their right mind spend this kind of money for a watch? You must need an awful ego boost (or should I say boast?). I bought a Timex that has kept perfect time (Hasn't lost or gained a second in the past three years), shows me the day and date, is on the original battery, and lights up to show the time when dark. As someone said long before me, "A fool and his money are soon parted".
