Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Crisp, polished and impeccable, this fine timepiece from TAG Heuer is a luxury waiting to be worn. Its handsome, 20-millimeter-wide stainless-steel band links to a 42-millimeter-in-diameter stainless-steel case. A polished, stainless-steel bezel frames the silver-tone dial of this watch and is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire dial window. Silver-tone shape hour indicators, silver stick minute and second markers and a date window at the six o'clock position add beauty and convenience to the dial. Written hour labels and a day-of-the-week calendar window at the 12 o'clock position add a unique touch, while luminescent hands makes it easy to read this automatic watch that's water resistant to an impressive 660 feet.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this watch!, February 10, 2009

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WJF2011.BA0592 Link Calibre 5 Day-Date Automatic Watch (Watch)

I purchased this watch directly from Amazon two weeks ago. I noticed that it gains about 10 seconds per day, or around 1.24 minutes per week. I was initially concerned about this and was considering sending it back to be either repaired or replaced. I hated to go through that hassle, however. In the process of doing this, I learned that while it is an authentic Tag watch, it isn't covered by the Tag warranty, because Amazon isn't an authorized Tag dealer. It is covered by a two year warranty from Amazon though. Amazon was willing to refund my money if I returned it, but as I did some research, it seemed that this is a common issue with Tag mechanical watches, and mechanical watches in general. This is the first watch that non-battery operated watch I've owned in years.

I called the Tag service center to talk to a repair tech about my watch and get a ballpark cost of paying to have it repaired. The tech asked me how much time it gained per week. I told her about 1.24 minutes per week. She told me that the tolerance was 2 minutes per week and that my watch was within the tolerance. As a result of this information and other information that I found online, I've decided to do nothing.

In conclusion, I was a little concerned when I learned that the watch wasn't covered by the Tag warranty. Given that I saved around a thousand dollars, I'm ok with the tradeoff. As far as the watch gaining time, after researching that issue, I'm ok with that as well. The watch is beautiful and I am well satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rolex? What Rolex?, December 30, 2009

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WJF2011.BA0592 Link Calibre 5 Day-Date Automatic Watch (Watch)

This is just a great watch. Probably won't ever need another, but if you like watches, as I do, this one will still find a steady spot in the rotation.

The first reviewer's particular model must be slightly off, as mine keeps perfect time. It's as reliable as my Blackberry.

You can't tell from Amazon's images, but the back of the case is clear so that you can see the movement. It's a great touch. Also, the closure is push button, unlike the typical clasp. Feels more durable. Also, the band doesn't pull your wrist hair like others I own. Another thing you can't tell is that the second hand ticks three times/ second, not just every second. Not a sweeping movement like a Rolex, but it's distinctive. I'm not actually sure if this is common to all TAG Heuers or not, but either way this is a nice feature.

A classic watch, despite the negative publicity by TAG's most visible sponsee (yes, it's a word). The size, weight, materials, features, and accuracy are top notch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Watch stem is fragile, December 1, 2010

This watch is beautiful and functional; however, the stem broke after a short time. Checking online, I have found that this is a common problem. If you get this watch, or any similar TAG Heuer, be VERY careful when setting the watch as the stem has 3 positions and is easily broken.
