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 WAF111Z.BA0801 Aquaracer Alarm Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

I had considered purchasing the watch from a jeweler just for the sake of having the Tag warrenty. After reviewing the warrenty Amazon offers aside the Tag warrenty there wasn't a big difference in what would be covered, and they were both 2 years in length, so I decided to save $600.00 and go with Amazon. So glad I did! The watch is gorgeous and it was packaged in the lovely Tag box with all the Tag care instructions. Completely satisfied!

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAF111Z.BA0801 Aquaracer Alarm Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)

I have owned my Aquaracer for about 8 months now and it has proven to be very accurate and reliable. Several reviewers on different sites have complained about the alarm feature and at first it confused me too. After CAREFULLY reading the manual I realized that it is normal for the alarm hands to rotate when pulling out the stem to set the time on the watch. This is part of the alarm synchronization procedure. After setting the time the alarm needs to be synchronized to the time set. This is done while the watch is still in time set mode with the crown pulled all the way out. Then just hold the alarm button in till the alarm hands show exactly the same time as the watch hands. When the crown is pushed back in the alarm hands return to their previously set position and are synchronized. Once this is done the alarm is accurate to the second. I have never before seen an analog watch with an alarm that sounded on the second.

I am quite impressed with the quality of this watch. The crown and stem screw in nicely and the sapphire crystal is still without the slightest scratch. The one way rotating bezel has 120 clicks for a complete rotation and requires enough effort to turn that it has never moved unintentionally. The luminous coating on the hands and face markings are very bright and keep usable brightness all night. This is always my watch of choice now when I expect to be out at night. The date display is well done and quite readable at the unique six o'clock position. While the bracelet uses pressed in pins for adjustment rather than threaded screws, the pins press into small bushings that work quite well and the bracelet feels well made. I also like the fact that Tag Heuer did not try to copy the Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster as so many other makers have, but created their own style with the Aquaracer line. And finally I like the size. I know that huge watches are quite in style these days but my wrists are a bit small and at 38.4 mm the case is a very nice size that looks and feels good to wear.
