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.

After doing some research on the Tag Aquaracer wristwatch,old and new, I decided to get this new one..with the blue face..I also prefer the all-brushed stainless instead of the partial polished

and partial brushed..I went to look at the watch in a very swank retail store here in Canada. It is a fantastic looking watch......Price was 2200..plus our 2 taxes totalling 12% more..

I really liked the look and heft of the watch,so decided to buy it from Amazon..Price was right and there was no doubt about authenticity..As for warranty,not really sure,and not really concerned about it either...

I ordered this Tag watch online Sunday morning and it was at my door Tuesday before noon...less than 2 days from somewhere deep in USA...by UPS

Completely happy with the watch!! It is stunning and perfect...Even with exchange and 2 taxes I had to pay it came in 1000 less than buying it here in the store..

Do not hesitate buying this watch from Amazon...

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAJ1112.BA0870 Aquaracer 500M Quartz Watch (Watch)

I previouly owned two Tag Heuer Automatic Chronographs, Link and Aquaracer, and decided I wanted something that was a tad lighter and lower maintenance. This watch fits the bill perfectly. As a Quartz, it is more accurate, and does not have to be re-set if you don't wear it for a few days and don't own a watch winder. Finally, the crown is very easy to manipulate which makes adjustments easy. It's also lighter and thus more comfortable to wear. This watch also has very distinctive styling, and has been noticed by many that I have met. A great choice for those who don't want the hassle of an automatic. BTW...these are getting harder to come by...the online discount for these was around 40% a few months ago, now about 25% is the norm. I personally think it is tough to justify paying over $1000 for any watch that is not an automatic, but I have no regrets on buying this.
