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.

This is a Quartz watch. NOT swiss automatic as listed in the description. If you're looking for a good battery powered watch, there are many in this price category I'd choose over this.
Sure, it's pretty.

I bought this for my wife for Mother's day as a gift from the kids. Everyone was so excited except myself to see it runs on quartz, similar to a $50 watch from a department store.

I did some research and decided to buy this watch. Amazon had the best price and it was a savings of a couple of hundred dollars compared to a local jeweler. However, when I received the watch, I couldn't set the time. I tried unscrewing the crown, but could not get it to budge. I used a pair of needle nosed pliers to try to move it and I accidently pulled it off! My husband took the watch to a local watch maker who stated the watch had to be defective, there was no way I could have pulled it off otherwise. Amazon has a 30 day return policy so I have no problem with Amazon or the watch. Sometimes online purchases work out, but in this case it didn't. My husband ended up buying me the watch from the local jeweler. Now I have a 2 year warranty and can take it to them for service. To me, that was worth the extra couple of hundred dollars. So, get this watch, but buy it from a local dealer and save your online purchases for smaller items.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware: Not Automatic, June 27, 2010

Good day. I have been searching for a small, plain, diving, rotating bezel, automatic watch. I found this on Amazon and purchased it. It is pretty and a good price for a Tag quartz (battery powered) watch.

This watch is not automatic as advertised. The box and paperwork are clearly marked for quartz watches, so I don't understand how Amazon could have made this advertising mistake. I had returned the watch.

I had purchased the watch just prior to the 1st comment listed regarding misleading advertising. I notice 1.5 months later that the watch is still listed as automatic so I decided to add a similar comment in hopes that Amazon will correct their advertising.
