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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price, May 26, 2008

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAB2011.BA0803 Automatic Aquaracer Watch (Watch)

I waited 10 days after purchase to write this review because I wanted to test the accuracy of this watch. I can safely say that the time gain is about 10 seconds, which means on average the watch gains one second a day. Even by COSC standards (the Swiss time-keeping institute that awards certificates to superlative chronometers like Rolex and Breitling) this is very good indeed. I believe the movement is in-house made, though the base caliber is probably from ETA/Valjoux. My version is blue, though black is equally handsome. Note that the latest versions have "Aquaracer'' on the dial but I don't think it makes any difference performance-wise. Also note that Longines have just a couple of months ago released a line that looks similar and is about US$300 cheaper but the finishing on the TAG is much better. All in all, this is a rugged daily use watch that keeps excellent time and so represents decent value for money.

This watch is obviously a head turner- lots of compliments. But the time keeping is nothing to brag about. Mine has been running about 5 seconds fast per day no matter which way I lay it at night. The other thing I noticed was that the claimed 36 hour wind life might not be quite that long. I let mine sit for only 24 hours and it was stopped.

I would still recommend this watch though. I am happy with my purchase for the money.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAB2011.BA0803 Automatic Aquaracer Watch (Watch)

I have a large watch collection but I like to add a new watch each year. I had orginally reviewed many of the Omega styles. However, after comparing this Tag Aquaracer model to numerous Omega styles, I decided to purchase this Tag. The watch is a real head turner, and in my opinion, this style looks far superior to similar Rolex models and a fraction of the cost. The pic on the web page does not show how nice this one looks. The dial is a deep blue and the bezel is a dark blue also.

Size, weight, functionality: Though I have small wrists, I like these large watches, and I think this one comes in at 44 MM. However, when I took to a local watch maker, he was able to adjust the band so that is was a snug fit and did "roll over" on my wrist. The automatic function works fine and the date calendar works fine. The crown is a screw in which I like, especially when washing cars. I don't expect any watch to keep 100% accurate time, but so far when I set this watch to an atomic clock, it keeps highly accurate time. I preferred this style to the chronometer style with all the extra buttons I'd never use.

Service: I purchase lots of product from Amazon and this item arrived in a day of two, and required a signature before delivery. Amazon also had a 12 month same as cash promo so that made this a better deal. I'd highly recommend this style and it costs a fraction of the price of other luxury brands, creates a great image for sport or business, and keeps great time. I'll be looking for more good Tag deals from Amazon.
