Same thought. For this price these Quartz movements Absolutely HAVE to line up. I happen to know a watch company that makes quartz watches that always line up. No need to guess. Come on Tag! Guarantee the alignment!

These are badass. Although I would never come close to the msrp for it. Would be a good pickup on the grey for 1500 though

I saw this watch at a dealer and loved it. However, $3,000 is a lot for me and there are a couple of things I think should be a "must" for a watch at this price point: screw-in links and on-the-fly adjustment. These are common features on many much lesser-priced watches these days. The "on-the-fly feature especially effects daily wearability.

I wear a Rootbeer as my daily,im seriously thinking about getting this. Tried it on and it's impressively light,something ive never thought I wanted. Its like if weight to a watch is appealing a really light watch is also as much so.

Those are great

It certainly demonstrates that mechanical watches, whilst aesthetically pleasing are probably more trouble than they are worth. Okay, so the second hand doesn’t align exactly with the indices, but for a watch which literally can go anywhere around the world from jungles to the oceans, to the office, this has got be excellent value, especially, if you happen to need correct time and you are late for a board meeting because your mechanical watch has just failed you and needs a service. I like mechanical watches, but like cars and certain women, they require upkeep and that can become expensive. Enter the solar powered quartz watch.

I'm loving wearing this new Aquaracer Solargraph in Titanium. Looks, wears and performs great. The titanium bezel is the best action I've personally ever experienced with an all titanium watch.. that being said, it's also one of the best bezel actions in general. The comfort link adjustment is just right for me to add a little wrist breathing space when I need it. It's super accurate, too. Still has not deviated over a week so far.

Why does the second hand not align with the markers?

The design and look of this watch are very well-balanced; the sunray garage door dial and markers give a luxurious feel, the green mint color scheme adds a lively vibe, and sandblasted titanium gives a masculine/rugged look. The 40mm sizing is good and the bracelets are well-built, so with a light weight of titanium, it wore really comfortably. Considering overall build quality and aesthetics, it's not really easy to find a solar quartz watch from Seiko or Citizen to substitute this exact piece. TH is a quite young-looking & stylish brand, but has a good heritage. Nowadays, watches are men's expensive bracelets and you are paying for the style and luxurious feel mostly. So, the logic of "paying for quality" doesn't work really well in this type of market. Considering how luxury watch prices are getting out of control these days, the 3k price tag doesn't seem extremely crazy or anything.

I love to see more quartz options as a quartz lover. But I am not so sure about this one because it cost same as carrera caliber 5. All solar quartzs (eco drive) still need battery change in 10~12 years, and it costs way more than ordinary quartz watches. There isn't much advantage JUST for being solar quartz. It must have nice accuracy or there is no point buying it but both Cartier Solarbeat and Tag Solargraph do not advertise the accuracy of the movement.

At least for me, if I'd want to buy a solar quartz, the looks and the feel of the watch are more important than what's inside, and the Citizens aren't doing much for me by those standards. But I agree this is a bit too expensive for what it is, but I'd still rather save up and wait for the prices to drop to have this Tag on my wrist and be excited when I look at the time rather than having the Citizen there, but that's just me.

@@RabbitWatchShop yes, the watch community but not the general public. That's my point.

$3000 LOL

Although I like the look of the watch, the price is just too high. Its useless as a dive timer since there was no effort to put a lume marker on the bezel, essentially a poor mans yachtmaster and quartz at that! Just don't see the value.

Quartz 3 k crap

Some people keep believing in Swiss fairytales. Nothing to see here, move on.

Indeed, E28 Forever has proven himself to be the biggest salty fanboy on here, definitely nothing to see relating from his pathetic trolling attempts - but some people will sit behind their keyboards and refuse to be happy for other people and what they buy. Sure, have an opinion, but don't state it as fact and spam comments like a baby. Yep, I'm not taking my own medicine here, but its dweebs like you who give the internet a bad name.

I was looking for a watch to replace my 20-year-old Citizen Titanium Eco- Drive which, as you repeatedly point out, uses the same technology as the Aquaracer to power the quartz movement. What you repeatedly omit, is that the quartz movement itself is Tag Heuer’s, hence the TH50-00 calibre. As a watch “expert”, you should be aware that a lot of Swiss “luxury” brands use a 3rd party movement. Therefore, is a £4,700 IWC Portofino less of a watch because it uses a Sellita base movement? Is a £5,300 Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial 38 less of a watch because it uses a Longines base movement? No they are not because you are paying for the finishing as well as the name, and the finishing on the TAG is far far superior to my old Citizen. Plus I will be able to get it serviced unlike my Citizen. So yeah, you are paying an extra couple of grand for the name and the finishing, but isn’t that the point of buying a TAG Heuer over a Citizen? If you think that it isn’t then go watch a Citizen video and rave about how great that is compared to a TAG. I’d also point out that as much as I loved my Citizen, the day started going shonky after 8 years and it has been intermittently not working since lockdown. Also, no one EVER gave the watch a second glance while it was on the wrist, whereas when I took the TAG to Beaverbrooks to get it re-sized the assistant nearly wet herself when she saw it was all titanium. I also noticed someone on a train clocking it (pardon the near pun) while I was wearing it - although they where too far away to see the discreet logo. Isn’t that also partly the point of buying a “luxury” watch? If you think that it isn’t then yeah, carry on buying Citizens while I buy a watch that I can get serviced and a watch that looks good. Surely that is the point for anyone who would be interested in buying a Swiss “luxury” brand over a cheap Japanese mass market brand. If it isn’t, then buy Seiko, Casio and Citizen, the choice is yours, just stop repeatedly commenting about value for money and how an inferior looking Citizen would be better value.

@@TheBrutalDeluxe “Inferior looking” Something only a watch noob without any I’m understanding of the technical side would say. The Japanese have progressed quartz to high tech timepieces, premium quartz Seiko, Citizen and even Casio watches are no laughing matter. Solar, radio controlled, GPS, automatic hand alignment, you name it. Meanwhile the “superior” Swiss keep dabbling with basic Quartz movements.😂 “That lady told me I have a nice watch”..🤣 What the hell does she know about watches, but you’re flattered. Two words: “gullible” and “superficial”.

@@e28forever30 bro u thinking too much, those japanese watches look ugly as hell, tag looks better, that's all. This is the real world and let it be.

I see a lot of comments from so-called watch connoisseurs. Omega was so in crisis that it almost belonged to Seiko. Tag is a problem, and Tudor, Breitling have 2 common calibres. And the price is a disaster. Tag Heuer, thanks to the LMHV group, is so powerful that technically it can screw up the Swatch group .But why not? He wants to have affordable luxury. Buy a Casio that can last longer than a Rolex. There are some things that not everyone can afford, even if they are of lower quality. Even my fiat can drive for tens of years, but when I sit in a BMW I have status be able.

And what about that BMW with the cheapest Fiat engine inside? Because that’s what this watch represents.
