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.

This review is from: TAG Heuer Women's WAF1312.BA0817 Aquaracer Quartz Watch (Watch)

I purchased this watch for my wife about 14 months ago. At first, the watch was as great as a Tag should be. After about 4 months of ownership the watch started to run slowly (as much as 10 minutes late in one day). After about 1 month of poor timekeeping, we called customer service and sent our watch to the watch shop Amazon contracts with under their warranty service. I asked the Amazon representative what would happen if the problem continued. She said that the watch would most likely be replaced if it was not fixed by their repair shop.

After 6 weeks of repair, the watch was sent back to us and worked well for about 6 weeks, then started to run slowly again. I called Amazon and they now told me they can not replace the watch because they don't have a "lemon policy". I asked her what would happen if the watch went back and forth to the repair shop several more times and the Amazon representative did not have an answer. Unacceptable! She told me that I would have to pay to resend it to the repair shop and insure it. I then contacted the shop personally and they were extremely helpful and sent us a packing label at their expense. We will send it to them again to see if the problem can be fixed.

I have owned a Tag Heuer for 13 years and it has NEVER missed a second. What is the point of purchasing an expensive watch if it won't keep the time? I hope that Amazon will replace the watch if it is not fixed by the repair shop this time around. I guess next time I will make a purchase from an authorized dealer so I know I will get a good watch with a good warranty.

I bought this watch for my wife recently. She likes it so much that she hasn't been taking it off at night. This Aquaracer is solidly constructed with a robust bracelet and has what might be considered a mid-size case (32mm) for women. My wife is 5'10" and we found that smaller watches lacked wrist presence. The mother of pearl face and the diamond hour markers add flair without being outré. The stainless steel case has a high polish finish and the crown is a screw down type. The water resistance rating is a very substantial 300m so no worries about a dip in the pool or the sea. Accuracy is beyond reproach with a few seconds lost in a couple of weeks. Heartily recommended for ladies looking to mark a personal triumph or perhaps anniversary gift shoppers.
