Product Description

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.

I will keep it simple.Great watch at the Amazon price! Being a former Tag watch owner, I had no reservations on buying another Tag as far as durability is concerned. It took a while because most new Tag's are too flashy for my taste but this relatively new model fits the bill, rugged yet classy. I currently own an Omega yet missed the "grab and go" convenience of my older quartz Tag so decided to get a quartz watch for daily wear and this is what I decided on after a long search. This watch is available in a non-certified auto movement as well which is very similar except for some minor details to distinguish it from the quartz version. The auto is 1mm larger mostly to accommodate the movement. If you will use this for lapsed time measure, be aware that the bezel turns too easily for a serious dive watch. The slightest bump will turn the bezel but otherwise ok since my diving days are long over. Amazon price is just right for this watch as MSRP is unrealistically high for a watch of this caliber. This is available in different color dials including a funky orange. I received the watch very quickly and will have to go to Amazon for warranty service which I expect will never be necessary especially with quartz. Go look at these watches at a local dealer before buying to be sure it's what you want and don't hesitate to use Amazon.

Nice watch, high quality. Like the magnifier on the date and the dial turning to track elapsed time . Had a local jeweler adjust the band to a smaller size and he did not charge me. Recommend this watch: especially the price. Called a local dealer and they couldn't come close to the Amazon price.

I purchased this watch for my future husband as a wedding gift. This will be his first Tag, as I already have one and love mine so much and wanted him to have one as well. The reason I picked this Tag was because I wanted one that was not too flashy, too much going on in the face of the watch,and something that was going to be both worn @ work and dress. One thing to note is the band of the watch is a dull finish (I wasn't sure when I purchased it). This watch is the perfect starter Tag and it comes in many colors. For anyone out there wondering if they should spend the money on a Tag, I would say YES. If you wear a watch everyday and want something that will look nice, not scratch, and last a lifetime a Tag is for you. And the Amazon price is awsome! You don't have to worry about it being Authentic, it is!!! Also I was able to purchase thru Amazon for 0% intrest for 12 months, you can't beat that!
