Solid Tag Heuer with a sweet bracelet, December 18, 2006
This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WJF2111.BA0570 Link Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
After combing different websites and Authorized dealers, as well as having prior Tag's, I have a decent sense of what Tag Heuer has to offer, as well as different price points. I was looking to upgrade to something in the one thousand to 1.5 thousand price range, and this watch was on the short list. I decided on this one because of Amazon's 5 yr warranty, automatic movement (which frequently runs $2K+), and slick, refined looks.
Definitely wanted something that wasn't too bulky, but still was relatively masculine. Just a few things that I can share with all:
PRO's:
-nice bracelet, and very adjustable (with a micro adjustment in the clasp)
-automatic movement at a decent price
-waterproof to 200m
-bracelet doesn't catch any hairs
-simple, elegant design to dress up or down
CON's:
-needs a break-in period (I almost returned mine, but you need to wear it for 2 weeks straight to get all the automatic mechanisms lubricated)
- +/- a few seconds a day
-Not a chronometer (which is "certified") - but this adds hundreds of dollars more at ? benefit
-the edge of the face/bezel is a polished metal, and I can envision it getting scratched (so, if you are rough on your watches, you might want to pick a style with a rotating bezel to "protect" the face)
-the LINK bracelet is tough to adjust by yourself, so you need to go to a jeweler/watch store to adjust it
-as with all automatics you need to wear it at least once every 2-3 days (or wind it up every 2 days) to keep from having to reset the time
Another tip - during the break in period, make sure you wind up the watch (turn clockwise) when you first get it, and perhaps another time or two during the first week - this gave it an extra oomph to get things going.

My wife gave me this watch as an engagement present. I love it! It looks good whether you wear jeans/shorts or a suit. Very versatile.

Tag service not acceptable, December 20, 2009
This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WJF2111.BA0570 Link Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I purchased an aquaracer for my husband for our anniversary in May 2009. At that time I also purchased an extended warranty. The watch started to lose time and over the course of several weeks would be 10 to 15 minutes slower than actual time. We have sent the watch back twice now to be recalibrated only to have the same thing happen. At this point we have requested that the watch be replaced and Tag refuses to even discuss it. I would not recommend anyone deal with Tag.
