The 36 has my favourite bracelet and its El Primero movement is more reliable than in my Zenith Rainbow. The Aquagraph is a well designed tank of a watch. They're reliable and I don't mind wearing them in situations where I'd never wear a JLC or AP. Ive been a watch enthusiast for decades.

As someone who owns a Tag Heuer and is a fan of the brand, it is still understandable why they are so relived. Its a mix of their overly dumbed down "mainstream" marketing and snobbery from the collector community. Alongside Rolex, Omega and Brietling, it is one of those watch brands that literally everyone knows. You will be surprised how many people aren't even aware of the "holy trinity" (AP, Patek and Vacheron Constantin) but are familiar with Tag. TH has really leaned in on the brand recognition and has tended to push hard on the brand and release relatively mediocre/average watches alongside more interesting pieces. This, alongside the snobbery of "enthusiasts" and collectors for overly mainstream watches has led to Tag being looked down by the collector community. It also hasn't helped that Tag tends to throw in ebauche ETA movements into the majority of their watches but charge in-house or near in-house prices. Nor has the fact that they tried to pull the wool over consumers' eyes multiple times with their marketing, such as by claiming that the 1887/Heuer 01 movement was a design they developed themselves rather than one purchased from Seiko (great movement by the way, a very impressive, modern column wheel - love it in my 1887 Carrera). But also to be fair to Tag, everyone in the market does this - from Bremont claiming a La Joux Perret movement as being "in house" to Breguet re-purposing an old Longines/Lemania movement as their "in-house" workhorse. At the end of the day however, I doubt Tag are losing any sleep over this - their mainstream appeal and recognition has only helped inflate their market share and - moreso than more "Premium" brands in the group like Zenith and Hublot - has strengthened its position as the flagship of LVMH's stable of watchmakers. They have more market share than Brietling, IWC and twice that of Vacheron Constantin by value.

@@skye1868 I agree completely - it is incredibly popular with mainstream consumers. But with a majority of serious watch collectors, both online and offline, there is quite a lot of prejudice against the brand once it became "TAG" Heuer. Part of this is that they abandoned their traditional watches (classics like the Carrera were discontinued for decades) for more "fashiony" watches in the 80s and the 90s (e.g. Link, Kirium and the plastic F1s), and the "resurrection" of more serious and respectable designs happened quite a bit later than other brands. This leads a lot of collectors to view the TAG period as separate from the Heuer era. This is a bit unfair as TAG were not watchmakers and all of the Heuer expertise was retained - unlike say Breitling and Hamilton (or even Breguet for that matter) where only the brand name survived bankruptcy/sale. Part of this is unfair - Heuer had to do what it can to survive, and they aren't the only ones who made tacky watches in that period and abandoned their heritage, because that's what sold. For example, its much more "respectable" stablemate Zenith tried to scrap its tooling for the El Primero movement and other brands like Longines went all quartz in the 80s. ' But they also continue to make a lot of lazy, basic watches and sell them at a premium, which is another reason why collectors turn their nose up. Their use of dodgy marketing hasn't helped. The smoke and mirrors about the Seiko design in the 1887/Heuer 01 being a prime example - there was nothing to be embarrassed about, the Seiko 6S78 movement was made for Seiko's Credor line, which sits with/slightly above tjeor Grand Seiko and is one that can stand with the very best of Swiss design. But lying about it came off as massively scummy. It also hasn't done as well in Asia (which now accounts for a significant proportion of the market) than some of the other mid-range brands, which has led it to fall behind Longines, IWC and even Tissot in market share.

I personally love Tag Heuer and have from been young. They have always been the one that catches my eye when I look through a shop window. And a few months ago I finally bought my first Tag Heuer. Some watch snobs might critise it and even more so that the one I bought is a Quartz but I don’t care I absolutely love it and I could happily wear it every day

Tags are to the watch world what Bose is to the speaker world. Both are considered junk to the snob class.

My personal experience with tag has been extremely positive. My father has had one for as long as I can remember, my brother has had his for at least 10 years, and I have had mine for 4+. We all have aqua racers, the quality is top notch, none of us have ever had issues, and we all love our watches. This is just my own anecdotal experience but I personally don’t agree with the complaints made against the brand

When I started watch collecting I also had the same bad opinion about Tag, but I believe it was mostly influenced by all the hate on the internet. Nowadays I’ve got two tags and I must admit that I really enjoy them. Of course, it’s not the best brand ever and it’s not even intended to be, but in my opinion it delivers the expected quality for the price paid.

Lots of sheep out there. That don’t know watches. Even KZreadrs. Tag Heuer has one of the greatest watch making history

Tag was my first Swiss made watch. I bought mine 33 years ago (SL chronograph/ quartz). I still own and wear it. Its always maintained by Tag for the occasional battery replacement or overhaul. It never really broke and is a very reliable timepiece. Ive owned rolexes pateks etc. This watch in particular has seen many milestones in my life and i will never sell it. Everything else was sold or replaced. As far as im concerned Tag is a solid brand. 3+ decades of reliability and quality is a testament to that. Nowadays i wear it on special occassions or when major deals are happening. I will be buying the special edition Senna formula 1 caliber 16 automatic as a 3 decade tribute to my original SL.

Had a Tag for 20 years (Professional 2000 Automatic) and I'm more than happy on how it looks, feels and performs.

My Aquaracer was a gift from my Dad, 2 days before he passed, 13 years ago and it was my first ‘luxury’ timepiece. It’s still as perfect now as it was when I received it. It also gave me a love for the brand. As soon as I clapped eyes on the Carrera CAL 1887 (black and rose-gold), I had to have it! I’ve owned it for 4 years and it still gets compliments from complete strangers. Their history is of no consequence - show me a business that hasn’t broken some eggs to make an omelette and I’ll show you a business that simply hasn’t tried hard enough. Their items are quality and are reflected in their affordable pricing.

I always wanted a Tag heuer! I saw adverts from Tag Heuer with Tiger Woods wearing the LINK line that time. I fell in love with the wrist band. With 18 my mum let me chose between a notebook and a Tag heuer... I was in school... and a Notebook was more important and useful at that time. So 6 years later... I had money saved.... and could get myself a limited edition Tag Heuer Senna Edition Chronograph... ( Based on the formula series) it’s a Quartz Watch... and it cost only 1200€ but I‘m still enjoying it everytime I’m wearing it. Love it!

My freshman year of college I had a great desire for a real, nice watch. I couldn’t afford a Rolex or omega so I bought a tag formula 1 with the quartz movement on the grey market because it was the best I could afford. Four years later and it’s as solid and reliable as ever. It really scratched the itch of having a high quality time piece. It’s handsome, durable, reliable and i love it’s screw down crown. Entry level watch or not, I’m very happy with my tag to this day

Had my blue aqua-racer for a year now and wouldn’t be without it. Have Sinn and Oris automatics and the Tag looks/feels on a par with them. Nice case, very crisp detail on dial. Looks pretty in any light, and versatile. Was a little nervous to buy initially because of all the online hate. So glad I bought it now though.

When I wore that Tag i felt like I was a SUPERSTAR everyone stopped me in the street and asked is that a real Tag in which I would reply sure is. Im just about to buy a new Aquaracer and just can't wait. The 1990's Tag was an absolute pleasure to wear and the build quality was SENSATIONAL. I wish I could afford a new Carerra like you had in the video, but the Aquaracer will have to suffice as my one and only watch

30 years ago I was gifted a TAG Heuer 1500. I wore that watch and treated it like a Casio for the first 20 years. It still keeps perfect time and is covered with battle scars. It still looks good, has patina from sailing, boarding, flying, diving, motorcycling, working construction, etc. I semi retired it as I started worrying I would actually break it and or lose it. Not much else in my life has been such a constant companion so it has earned a rest. Now it goes on my wrist for special occasions.

And no, quartz had nothing to do with it because if you go back and look at the Link Collection, which took the watch world and regular world by storm in the late 90's(in my FB coverage I go into this), and those majority of those were mechanical pieces, not quartz. Anyone that lays the blame on quartz I would immediately dismiss as they have no idea what they are talking about. If ya speak to people that OWNED/OWN a TAG, their quality is fine.

I have a Tag Grand Carrera, Own some Omegas, Rolex Datejust & Sub. My Grand Carrera is the best out of all of them. Not only is the steel band more comfortable than any of the other brands, the design, thickness, polish, even weight is almost perfect in every way. Just my two cents. I never had issues with my Tag and it is a fantastic watch.

I got my Tag when I was 20, and it was a great choice. I sold Richemont, Swatch Group, and LVMH, so had "the hook up", but buying a Tag (and a quartz-ish one, no less!), was a smart choice for my lifestyle and income. It's taken such a beating, and keeps going strong, and coincidentally became a pretty unique release in their history. If I'd bought an IWC or an Omega I'd been eyeing, I probably would've broken it sometimes over the last decade, and may not have been able to afford repairs for it. Too many people buy watches with resale value as their priority, and that makes me kinda sad. While it's very cool if something appreciates in value over time, that should be a secondary priority. The most valuable asset you have is your time itself, and your watch should be reflective of the time you own it.

I love my 1998 Tag Link. It’s been well serviced and after 22 years it’s still like new. Such a well made watch. Love the brand.

Tag Heuer isnt hated. LVMH is hated. Tag Heuer is a victim of Jack Heuer having the company sold under him to a Investment company, fused with Tag Avaganrd which was a Formula 1 Turbo manufacturer and then make for years to sell horrible Plastic Formula 1 junk quartz watches, then resold to LVMH which turned it to a crap fashion brand which just sold Carrearas with Elaborate 7750 and Poorly made dive watches with elaborate 2824, then they canceled the in house Calibre 1969 and decided to try to pass the Seiko 6S37 as a In house Calibre 1887. while LVMH constantly disprespects its flagship brand (Zenith) and tries to push a crap "we play with ceramics" PoS brand like Hublot as their top of the line product.
