nice form, poor function
By dleehamp
Overall disappointed in this watch. The positive is that it is a very attractive watch. Its the perfect size and weight. Its not too flashy with lots of buttons and a busy bezel ring like some watches in this category. It also looks equally good when worn with a suit or jeans. The black face and brushed stainless steel finish is understated and stylish. The watch looks much better in person than in photos. In fact, the appearance was the ultimate reason for the purchase. I had done some research and found that most of the automatic watches in this price range all used similar movements, so my rationale was that I should pick the watch that looked the best to me assuming that function would be about the same. I also assumed that with a respected company like Tag, quality control would not be a problem. I was mistaken. First complaint is relatively minor, and that is that the lumen markings are practically worthless. You cannot see the hands of this watch in low light. You can walk into a movie theater from bright sunlight, and within 15 minutes there is no more illumination on the lumen markings. Second complaint, it does a poor job of maintaining its reserve. Fully wound, and worn all day, it will still stop after sitting for only 12 hours. Third complaint, it keeps poor time. The watch will gain approximately 40 seconds per day. Finally, my biggest complaint and the biggest problem is the stem. I had read in other reviews that the stem is susceptible to stripping if one is not careful. As a result, I was very careful every time I screwed back the stem (which unfortunately was more often than I would have liked since the watch would frequently stop and had to be set and wound when I would wake up in the morning- see 2nd complaint above). But alas, after owning the watch for just 8 months, the stem is now stripped and it will not fully recess and seal. The functional problems of this watch are unacceptable and reflect poorly on Tag Heuer. I had read some poor reviews on Tag products before buying this watch, but I attributed many of them to the watch snobs out there who seem to have it out for Tag. But, in the end they were right. Tag makes a poor product and it seems they are all about marketing and image over quality. If I had to make the decision over again, I would have paid more money and bought the Omega Sea Master. It was my second choice and an equally attractive watch. But I went with the lower price Tag and now regret it.

Great TAG Heuer for the money
By Ben
Just got this watch and it is my second TAG after having my previous one stolen. Very clean lines, simple, yet sophisticated watch that will look good in the corporate board room or law firm yet not out of place in more casual environments. Watch "feels" right on the the wrist, not a light timepiece but it gives you the sense of quality that you would expect from a MSRP $2100.

By new watch collector
I just bought this watch although not from amazon. I decided to purchase in store. They gave me an extra year on top of the tag 2 year warranty. I paid about 1350 for the watch.I've had the watch for about 2 weeks and so far it's fantastic.It gains about 8 seconds a day which isn't too bad considering the advantages of the watch.The watch is super versatile. You can wear it with a suit and tie or you can wear it with a t-shirt, shorts and sandals. So this is a perfect everyday watch.The watch is absolutely gorgeous. The watch face is a slate color but has in it a set of horizontal lines which make for a very clean look.The bracelet also has the push button clasp which is nice.And the all stainless look on the bezel is absolutely clean.They also increased the size of this watch to 41mm so it's on the larger size but by no means too large.The look of the watch very much reminds me of the omega seamaster but cleaner.Overall a great everyday watch which will work for almost any occassion.And the fact is that the price is on the low end of Tag's line. So this may be the best watch for the money that Tag makes.
