I received this watch as a graduation gift about a 18 months ago and it is the best watch I've ever worn. It feels wonderful on my wrist looks great in any situation. I wear it every day, and usually take it off if I am doing anything active. The crystal has no scratches after everyday use and the bezel has two very tiny scratches. All I have ever owned are Seiko and Casio watches and both get scratches within a month or so.

What I found really amazing was the accuracy of this watch. The only time I have ever adjusted this watch is for daylight savings. Over a 6 month period, it will not stray more than a minute from what time my cell phone says. I don't see how that's possible with a battery and some gears, but those Swiss figured it out.

On a side note, it was fun to see that I had the same watch as one of my friend's father at a wedding a few months back. He's heads the retirement fund investment division of one of the giant monster mega banks. I didn't drive away in the same car he came in however...

A beautiful and elegant sport watch, at a great price. I really enjoy this timepiece, and look forward to many years of rewarding ownership.

I gave my husband this watch for our 20th Anniversary. He loved it! It's really elegant, and can be worn when you are dressed up or casual. It is heavy, but my husband says it's very comfortable. I'm glad I picked it over the aquaracer.

I just purchased this watch after months of research. This watch is the perfect size and style. You can either dress it up or down and goes with any outfit because of the silver face. I saved around $800 by buying this from Amazon and avoiding the AD mark up.

I have owned this watch for about 6 years now. Besides the light scratch marks on the bezel the rest of the watch still looks new, and I pretty much never take it off. Had only one replacement battery and been submerged in water numerous times, and even banged around a bit. I bought it for the similar retro 60s look off my dad's old Timex. Excellent buy! I guess the next step up would be a Rolex.

PEOPLE WILL PAY ANYTHING FOR A STATUS SYMBOL.
IT IS BIG, HEAVY, CLUNKY and UNCOMFORTABLE.

DON'T KILL THE MESSANGER. I AM JUST TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS LIKE SO YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. PEOPLE WHO ALREADY BOUGHT THIS WATCH ARE MAD AT ME FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS.

I got this watch as an anniversary gift from my company. I don't like it all.

You might argue about the appearance. I don't like it, but others do. I was never into the skin diver's watch with the rotating ring. They were all the rage when I was a kid and were on every $10 watch.

How many people who by this watch are really going skin diving? Who is actually going to use that ring around the watch? It is like all the people who bought SUV's and never took them off the road. It has gotten to the point where they don't even build the SUV's rugged enough to go off road. I have a Lexus 330 4 wheel drive and I hit some concrete and bent the rim so bad the tire went flat. How can you take a car like that off road?

It is big, heavy and clunky. I have worn it for a day, and my wrist is sore. The clasp cuts into my skin. The watch links hurt my wrist bone. The gaps between the links pull my arm hair. I may get used to wearing it eventually, especially after it pulls out all the hair around my wrist.

I have a Garmin GPS watch that is bigger, but is a lot more comfortable to wear. The Garmin watch is cool and useful. I can track where I am and how far I run. I use it to measure how far I run while refereeing soccer games. You can also download the data and see how well you covered the field.

The watch comes in a very nice box and is wrapped around a velvet bad. It has this nice owners manual that comes in a leather pouch. It looks like something that would come with a luxury car. The book is about 90 pages, but there are only 5 in English. The rest of the book are the instruction printed in about 20 other languages.

The watch lists for $2000 dollars, but can be purchased much less (such as here on Amazon). But, if you go to a store like Macy's, it will be $2000.

Since I didn't get the watch at jewelry store, I had to pay someone ($37) to fit the band to my wrist. You probably have to do the same if you get if from Amazon. I am pretty mechanically inclined, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the links. I took it to Macy's watch repair, and it took them a while to figure out how to do it.

When the battery dies (in 1 to 5 years, depending on who you believe), it will cost you about $200 to get TAG to replace. But, you can probably go somewhere else for much cheaper.

I have the watch and I will probably keep wearing it. I don't like it, but I am just as vain as the next guy, and I want to show off my $2000 watch. But, looking back, I probably should have tried to sell it on eBay and used the money for something worth while (like 100 GPS watches).
