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 WAF1110.FT8009 2000 Aquaracer Quartz Watch (Watch)

I waited until I was 46 to buy my first high end watch - and I took my time looking around. I have a narrow wrist - and most men's watches look and feel huge. My preference is a dive watch with a rubber band - but again it had to be under 40mm diameter and not too thick - which rules out most automatic movement models, (although I do think they are very desirable.)

So I started looking - used, new, in stores, online, etc. I tried on a Tag Heuer Aquaracer 2000 at my local Jeweler and found the perfect watch for me. Instead of the $1200 the jeweler wanted I bought the silver-faced model from Amazon for $770. I thought I'd spend $1000-$1500 so I was thrilled.

I teach film and video and sail so I abuse my watches. The Tag came through without a scratch. I liked it so much I bought the same model w/ black face a month later. They are the perfect watches for me - the silver face with a slightly more dressy look - and the black face is classic. I'm not looking to impress anyone - so the Aquaracer's understated design works for me.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAF1110.FT8009 2000 Aquaracer Quartz Watch (Watch)

I just purchased mines from a local retailer and it was retailed at $1400, but then after some haggling the salesman offered me $250 off. Still not as cheap as Amazon, but it came with the Tag 3 year warranty and you have a lifetime battery replacement program at any authorized Tag service center. I contemplated buying it for less here, but they don't recommend that you change the batteries yourself or at a watch shop. Every Tag repair center will perform a pressure test after replacing the batteries to ensure that your watch is correctly sealed. I figure the extra price gives me peace of mind especially since the authorized service centers require that you have your certificate of authenticity, which Amazon does not provide. Once the 2 year Amazon warranty runs out, any battery and pressure test service will cost you additional money. With tax and all, I ended up a good amount above the Amazon cost, but still not MSRP. These watches are tough and will last you a long time. Buying it from Amazon, you can use the money you save on something else, but I like knowing that I can walk into any authorized shop if anything goes wrong.

The Tag Aquaracer is a quality timepiece worth the money. It will get many compliments, as mine has and it keeps perfect time. I highly recommend it and my experience with Amazon has been truly pleasurable.
