Sleek, professional, and luxurious, the TAG Heuer Carrera automatic watch for men (model #WV211B.BA0787) is an exquisite timepiece for both business and pleasure. The stainless steel watch case measures 38.5-mm wide (1.52 inches). The black dial face includes luminous baton hands (with seconds hand), luminous stick hour markers, small minute indexes placed on the interior of the bezel, and a date window at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a triple-link stainless steel bracelet band. Other features include a Swiss-made automatic movement (with a 38- to 42-hour power reserve), highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving.

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 bought this watch as my first expensive watch. As an athlete, all I've ever owned was some form of the black plastic runner's watch. Now, I wanted something that said conservative/classic. This watch fits the bill. I am pleased with every facet of the watch.

I wanted to add this review after seeing a few negative ones. I've owned this watch for 4 years. I love it. I have had no issues with it and it keeps good time, although buy a watch winder if you don't plan on wearing it on the weekends since it only stays wound for about 24 hours if you don't wear it. But I think that is the way a self winding mechanism is intended to work based on the research I did. I also found that it gains a little time (about 3 minutes a month) but again, I think all self winding watches do gain some time. That is what makes the watch a one of a kind. If you want digital precision then buy a Casio.

I'm also glad that Amazon started selling these so the warranty applies? I bought mine from a jeweler since the warranty didn't apply if purchased online. But if Amazon is now a reseller, that takes a huge worry away.
