I like the low profile, blue dial and unique bezel. My two older (1980s) Heuers' are still in my collection.

I've had mine 8 years, no issues. I seem to recall the crown problem affecting the 500m models more. It's a nice watch, not too heavy and I love the blue face.

I used to own this model and it was excellent. I am currently considering purchasing the black dial WAN2110 as my beach diver.

Great watch anders ! I just sold mine this week to fund my milgauss Quest

I have the same watch but in black it gives of lovely submariner vibes without losing it's own identity. I also have a newer aqua racer in blue, I like how Tag change the look slightly every new release so you can add more of them to your collection and even though they are the same model they are different enough in looks that you don't feel like you are just buying the same watch again and again

This was my first luxury watch in 2012 and im still in love with it, it will never leave my collection, that blue color is sobeautifully achieved, the perfect size, how it fits the wrist, the second hand in orange, ive been taking it to the beach all this years an no problem, it is definitely a perfect everyday watch, never regret of buying it .

I mostly hate on tag because the bracelets suck for most of their stuff. That is something I can't stand. Like, we wear it on our wrists... Make the thing that goes on our wrists quality and not sound like a tin can. Especially when you are charging a couple grand for a quartz... I do like some of their stuff however... But, if I were to hate, that's why.

I personally love Tags! I have 2 (the 2015 update of the aqua racer with blue dial and steel bezel and the 2015 F1 GMT blue and black bezel) in my current collection. I want an Autavia chronograph, but I HATE Breitling. I think Breitling just doesn't look or feel like quality. I say this to say that luxury watches are all about preferences and tastes. And you are right, some people are just haters.

I have this exact same watch for 10 years now. I had problems with screw down crown after purchase (common in Tags of this age) but other than that, I love it. Looks great and very well built. I have other supposed ‘superior brand’ watches but I’m struggling to see where the TAG is lacking. ATB 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Love that watch. I personally want white dial like you have and I think it’s cool how you have blue and white dial yourself. Watch is definitely high quality and very attractive and I enjoyed your presentation.

Great looking watch & nicely proportioned , but that clasp is an absolute shocker , i expect to see a machined scissor style clasp with push button release on a piece that retails @$2000 then theres that price again , hardly competitive for what they are offering

I love the look. Would I buy one new? Probably not at that price; there are other options with that movement I’d rather have. I’d consider one on the used market. That being said, I have a TAG “2000” that I got in ‘04; it has the ETA 2824-2 movement & still runs like a champ.

They didn't use a Seiko movement, they bought the rights from Seiko for the base of the movement. As well with ETA's, lots of high end swiss brands use ETA and there's nothing wrong with that, ETA generally makes good reliable and easily servicable movements. Tag Heuer is expensive yes, but it's not thaaaat expensive, there's nothing wrong with them using ETA. Omega, Brietling, IWC use ETA movements, but when Tag does it everybody hates on them?

I paid about $1300 brand new at the Tag Heuer outlet in Sawgrass Mills in Broward Florida ( aka Miami, to you Europeans) .I was told this was a retail $2000+ watch. I wore it off/on for about 4 years, never needing to wind it, as it is an automatic. When I did attempt to wind it, following the instructions online, the crown just started free-spinning. I have 3 Formula 1's also, 2 of those have been back to New Jersey for repairs. I work 40 hours a week as a software developer. My hands don't get dirty. I see all this as unacceptable.

I owned those two watches Both have excellent value for money But seriously, the history and finish of TAG products are step higher. If you are looking for a match, try with hydroconquest

The watch is around $1800-$2200 online. And although i love how the watch looks, the watch doesn't have much to offer in terms of features and quality. The watch has aluminum bezel, standard eta movement (not a big rant, but still needs to be noted), stamped clasp on the bracelet, push pins, and thin crown. There are micro brands that offers so much more for so much less. It's an example of purchasing the logo, not necessarily for the quality of the item. I don't think there would be much hate if the watch costs significantly less (maybe around $600-$900) but the asking price seems unjustified imo, other than paying for the name which i find a bit un-classy. I'm not hating on the watch, I'm just stating why some people may hate the watch.

@bighands69

5 жыл бұрын

There is a reason why a watch of that quality is not selling for $600. No other brand offers a watch as nice for anything close to $600. People will say Seiko but they are massive and nowhere near as comfortable. Other brands are out there but not offering the same quality for that price.

A former Tag Heuer dealer and true expert watch maker from my city told me the reason because he stopped selling them. Since then I overlook that brand because in my opinion it is dishonest. What was that? From one day to the following, suddenly, the brand decided to climb to the premium brands status just popping up higher prices, without improvements or true reasons, just marketing image. Something is not better only because its price is higher, they can fool many people, not me.

I'd say the same thing about Omega with the Seamaster 300m, prices rose from $3500 in 2012 to $6500 (au $) in 2018. Do you really think the movement and materials used justify the price increase? Plus I believe the swatch Group made moves a few years ago to stop AD's Selling at a discount so now you can only by from Omega boutiques and at fixed prices too.

OMFG!! That cheap bracelet it's for a sub $200 watch!!

i just dont think you get good value for money with this watch. my oris aquis blows this thing away. if this watch was 600 to 800 then yes it would be ok. that bracelet is a joke at that price point, should have screws and a way better clasp...again see oris aquis.
