I just bought this watch a couple of weeks ago and so far I have no regrets. My previous watch was a Fossil, so this is a major upgrade. I was a little bit unsure about paying $650 for a watch since I could lose it or break it. However, I am definitely enjoying my new TAG. I thought that when you consider that it will probably last 10 or 20 years (possibly even more), $30-$60 a year to own a TAG isn't that much money.

Two helpful notes that I wish I had known right when I received this watch:

1. If you want to turn the dial on the top that serves as a timer for diving, it is much easier if you push down rather than turn from the sides. It's more of a push and turn than squeeze the sides and try to turn.

2. The crown has to unscrew before it can pop out. When you want to adjust the time/date on a lot of other watches, you just pull the crown out to different positions. This watch requires you to unscrew the crown from a tight position to make adjustments. You should make sure you screw it back in properly before submerging it, the watch IS NOT WATER RESISTANT if the crown is not fully tightened.

I guess this is in the instructions but it took me a couple minutes to figure it out. You don't want to damage the watch by trying to pull the crown out while it is screwed in.

One battery replacement so far and still ticking great!

I've had my Tag for almost two years now and it's been great. It is accurate to within a couple seconds a month, and showering and the occasional swim have been no problem whatsoever. Although this particular model isn't too flashy, it still has a very classic good look. One caution though about buying it here on Amazon; Tag Heuer used to make a big deal about only selling their watches at dealerships and not online. According to their website, online retailers may be selling knock-offs or seconds, and they say watches that are not sold at authorized dealers are not covered by their factory warranty. So before you buy, you may want to contact Amazon directly and determine if they are an authorized retailer and also if the factory warranty will still apply. I recently bought a Timex Ironman on Amazon (the watch was defective, but Amazon was fantastic on that purchase and promptly sent me a perfect replacement even before getting back the defective one), and I really didn't care whether or not they were an authorized dealer; but with an expensive watch like a Tag, you might want to do a little research first before you make your purchase.

This watch was delivered as advertised. Can't beat the price anywhere. For those of you worried about the warranty not being honored by the manufacturer, don't worry, it won't be. But the you get the same warranty seemingly covering the same types of defects from the retailer. Bottom line, anything goes wrong after two years, your paying no matter where you bought it, so you might as well save big bucks on the front end.

I bought myself one of these twenty-one years ago as something I would have forever. And I will unless I do something very careless like leave it in a gym locker again. It's a classic, extremely well made. It keeps perfect time. The bracelet will go after a few years if you wear it when you're doing yard work or car repair. If you're careful, even the bracelet will last. CAUTION: mine was billed as a diver's watch. It is important to have the seal checked by a good watch dealer when you change the battery. Also there is a seal around the stem which can wear out with age. These are not defects just normal maintenance. You do not want to come out of the pool and see droplets inside your crystal. PS: I paid 375 dollars for mine. Enjoy it.

I've had this watch for about 6 months now (bought it for $700) and I'm very satisfied with it. True Amazon isnt an authorized dealer but they do offer their own warranty which is just as good... beautiful watch and a real head turner.

My wife got me this watch as a gift and I went back and forth between this version (Quartz movement) vs. automatic and after reading some of the hassles about the innacurracies and mysteries of the automatic movement, I went with the old tried and true Quartz version. I don't have time to check the time against my atomic clock every day to see if I've lost time or not! I held both versions in my hand in the store side by side and the auto is slightly bigger and thicker, but both look great. As another reviewer said, it looks great dress up or casual. Fast delivery in the real authentic Tag box and packaging-Thanks Amazon

I have this watch in the automatic model and have been very happy with it. The only problem is that when it goes in for service it's off to NJ for four to six weeks. I bought this one for a back-up and the convenience of the quartz movement. I can't believe how much lighter it is and how comfortable it is to wear. A slightly smaller case than the automatic. It has a sportier look and feel to it also. I really like it and it just came tody! I would give it 6 stars if I could.

I have had this watch for over 1 year with no problems. It is a rugged watch and great for everyday use.

WOW
Fast Free Delivery. It is a good price cheapest I could find on the internet. The watch looks fantastic. I did go to jewelery to shorten the band $5, took 3 links out. To take the links out you need a kit and you got to be careful which direction you bang out the steel pins--better left to a jeweler. Believe me this is a real TAG watch--you will not be disappointed.
For the money it beets a Rolex, divers watch. All in all for a watch that you could not pick up and feel its weight and get an idea how it looks on you this is a good deal no tax and cheaper than the local box stores by several hundred dollars.

I have this watch for over 2 yrs now and I always get a lot of complements from people. The good thing about this is I can wear this on jeans and also wear as dress watch.

This is a great investment!
