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 WAF2110.BA0806 Aquaracer Automatic Watch (Watch)

I recently purchased the WAF2110.BA0806 Aquaracer from Amazon. Before I move on, let's get the fact right: the size of this watch is 38.4mm, not 43mm. You can get the definitive information from Tag Heuer's web site.

The Calibre 5 automatic movement inside this watch is the same ETA 2824-2 that powers numerous mess-produced watches that cost less than one-fifth as much as the Aquaracer. If you want the most movement for your money, go get an Omega or Oris. Tag Heuer have a high level of brand recognition here in the US but that's not because they have the best movements (hint: smart marketing). I bought this watch because: 1) it looks good on my wrist (tried it on at my local mall). 2) it's less expensive than, say, the SeaMaster.

Right out of the box I sync'ed it up with the offical us time website. Three days later I check it again and I couldn't believe my eyes - it gained only 2 seconds! Let me tell you this: this is THE most accurate mechanical watch I've ever heard of, period. Well, it may be just dumb luck. Maybe as time goes by it's accuracy will drift away. But as of now, I am a happy-as-a-clam Tag owner.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAF2110.BA0806 Aquaracer Automatic Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch for my husband as a wedding gift. I did a lot of research in jewelry stores and online and this was BY FAR the lowest price I could find ANYWHERE, including [...]. I saved at least [...] from the next lowest price I could find. In addition, I received free shipping. The watch came beautifully packaged in Tag's original box. We took it the day it arrived to an authorized Tag Heuer dealer and they verified the authenticity and sized it for [...]. The watch is beautiful!

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAF2110.BA0806 Aquaracer Automatic Watch (Watch)

I ordered this watch from Amazon, and within 10 minutes of receipt, the crown (winding knob) had fallen off. I followed the instructions in the manual to the letter, so I do not believe it was my fault.

From the minute I unscrewed the crown -- this watch features a crown that screws in for watertightness -- it felt flimsy and poorly secured.

Furthermore, Amazon will not replace this product. The best they will do is a refund, which takes 7-14 days from the time they receive the returned product. And they require you to go to the post office and mail it via insured USPS mail, instead of having UPS (the delivery company) pick it up.

Amazon's price is great, as is TAG's reputation, but this situation has left a bad taste in my mouth with regard to both companies.

Think twice before buying this (or any other TAG) from a non-Authorized retailer, like Amazon.

-- UPDATE --
I ordered a second watch from Amazon in hopes that the first one was a fluke. I'm pleased to report that the second watch meets all the expectations I had of a TAG Heuer.

I still wish Amazon would allow for exchanges instead of having return/repurchase, but that's the only negative aspect of this purchase. I updated my rating, with the 1 star deduction being due to Amazon's exchange policy and lack of telephone support.

I'm very pleased with this purchase, and I recommend the watch and Amazon, but do keep in mind everything I've written above. There are definitely some drawbacks when not purchasing from an authorized dealer.
