Top quality

This watch is sweet, Tag lives up to it's reputation, good looking, very reliable, excellent craftsmanship, it is almost like wearing a piece of jewelry, received compliments already, pictures do not do the watch justice. Plus it is more adjustable than most bracelet watches. A purchase you will not regret. A lifetime watch!!
Attention on Warranty

Reviewer: Bernardo L. Falcon, Rio, Brasil
This watch is excellent. No Doubts about that. I like the red one (a little bit more expensive)
But be attention! On Tag's website they say that a watch bought on internet doesn't have warranty.
That is the same annoucement of any reseller store.
TAG like no other!!

Reviewer: Michael Schumacher,
this is my second tag watch and i must say, i'm pretty impressed. i still can't believe i only paid under $1000 for something that feels and looks like it should've cost more. i'm a pretty big guy and the first thing i wanted to check is if its face is big enough for me. so i went to a store to try it on, it's funny because i tried the black face too and somehow i think the orange color makes it look like its a tad smaller, in terms of the face's diameter, but it's not. all in all, i'm happy with this purchase. this color is really cool! it's even cooler looking at night when you have dinner with friends or for a dinner date.
Great Watch!

Reviewer: Michael Schumacher,
this is my second tag watch. the orange face is really cool. it's even cooler looking at night.

although i must say that somehow the orange face makes its diameter look a little smaller than the black face ones, i think it's the illusion the color orange makes. the best way is to go to a store and check it out yourself. i'm around 5'11 and athletic, and the size of this is big enough for me.

great watch!
He is happy with it and so am I !

I really wanted my husband to show off his fun side, and I got him this watch for his birthday.
I know orange is really a bold choice, but it happens to work.
This is really a nice watch with lots of personality. I like it a lot, is really unusual, and he likes it too, and I know he whould never have chosen it for himself but that's ok, he is happy with it and wears it all the time.
Tag Heuer quality really shows, beautiful and durable.

I have had the watch for a couple of months now and I am very pleased. I love every aspect of the watch. The face shows stunning detail and expert craftsmanship. I would recommend this watch as an everyday timepiece. I wear mine to work and abused it a lot. It will take paint off the wall if your arm hits it. It will put a dent into whatever it comes in contact with. I was afraid it would not withstand a work environment but it passed with flying colors.

Please note, the face appears white in the pictures but is actually silver.
Great experience!

I thought it would be too good to be true, but it is!!!! I would recommend this to anyone who is Worried about online shopping. They send you email confirmation, Then amazon sends you one! It's great! Took 2 extra days to get here with the overnight shipping but it was worth it! I will shop Amazon/jomashop again!
Tag Heuer is Quality Watches
 
Review Date: July 11, 2010
Reviewer: Christian G.,
First of all I have to say I didn't buy the watch on amazon, but I really wanted to review this watch. I collect watches and since five years ago I have been watching different watches and I really like Tag Heuer Watches, first because they offer quality watches at lower prices than other makes, second the watches are really complete when we talk about functions, for example this Tag Heuer Formula 1 offers 200m water resistance with screwed crown and caseback, sapphire crystal, unidirectional rotating bezel with 120 positions(clicks) offering better precision on time measurement and 1/10th second chronograph, making this one a very complete sports watch with the advantage that you can use it on a casual or formal occasion(of course the black dial fits better for the last one). I have been using this watch for 2 months and I don't have any negative comments, the sapphire crystal is clear as new, the rotating bezel doesn't have any scratch on it(after I hit with a wood chair and the chair has a big scratch on it), the chronograph works perfect, everything is fine as new. The quality of the finishes is incredible, all the indexes, sub dials, Tag Heuer logo, all the dial components are perfectly done. Other thing that deserves compliments is the Tag Heuer inscription on the left side of the case, is beatiful and the letters are perfectly done. If you want a quality watch at an "affordable" price this is an excelent watch. On the other hand the materials used on the crown and the roating bezel(titanium carbide coating) seems to be very scratch resistent. Another plus is the fact that the numbers on the bezel are not painted, they are made with stainless steel as the Tag Heuer logo on the crown. The last thing I have to say, its just my opinion, the stainless steel bracelet is the right choice, I have the rubber one too but I've never used it.

If you have the chance to go and see the watch on a retail store do it, believe me the pictures don't make justice to this watch, when I saw this picture I couldn't believe the difference, the watch is much more pretty than what you can see on the article picture. The price is really good but I bought it on a retail store because I wanted the 2 years International Tag Heuer Guarantee.
this is a class watch

I saw the newly redesigned Tag Heuer Formula 1 advertised and liked the look. I found one locally and tried it on, liked it and purchased it. The details of the watch are well done. The face is nicely laid out and legible. You can do split times and lap times pretty easily although I still like a digital stop watch for this function.

I like the main body of the watch - nice and chunky - well made. The strap is something else. It seems too lightly made for the watch itself. This is in comparison to my Omega Seamaster (which, in quartz version can be had for about $200 more) which has a band and clasp that are roughly 50% heavier made. It just feels much more substantial than the Tag band. The plus for the Tag band is the safety clasp which looks as if it will keep the Tag more secure if banged or jarred while doing any kind of active sports.

Overall, I really like the watch. I do, however, think it is a bit overpriced compared to comparable quality watches.

Reviewer: Bob A, Montana USA
The watch was great and I really wanted to keep it but with my 80 year old eyes I could not see the hands against the orange background to easily tell the time. I returned it for a different TAG with a black face and now it is easy to tell time without glasses. I'm keeping this one.
Beautiful watch....but that's about it

Reviewer: M. Pipas, NY
I bought this one at close to retail over a year ago when it first came out. At first, I was impressed with its rugged good looks but then quality issues began to take away it's appeal. First, the good: beautiful dial, sapphire crystal, nice rugged brushed ss bracelet. Cons: constant problems with movement. I had to send it in twice to fix major issues with chronograph, the bezel scratches easily, the clasp is ridiculously hard to open and the bracelet feels cheap in general. Overall, I was not impressed at all. I had to change the battery on it after only 5 months! I sold this about 8 months into buying it and bought a movado series 800 chrono. The Movafo blows the hell out of the Tag in quality! Whoever would have thought that!!? It seems like Tag is quickly diminishing in quality from what I've heard so I'm glad I got rid of it. I understand a lot of these people who invested in this watch are in denial and want to believe this is a high quality watch but it is not and you all know it! So skip this one and if you're looking for a nice quartz chrono try movado or victorinox. You will thank me
Watch is OK, but got a wrong manual
 
Review Date: June 9, 2010
Reviewer: Yas. H,
First of all, I bought this watch for my boyfriend's birthday. I don't care too much if this is for myself as far as the watch is authentic and functions correctly. I have received the watch in a box, which carried a wrong owners manual. The manual booklet clearly said it was for "GRANDE-DATE" series. I thoroughly read the manual but didn't find the instructions for my watch at all. Now I don't know how to operate my watch completely (I needed to do some "guess" work), and what sucks is eventually I'll have to give this to my boyfriend without a correct manual. I searched the manual on internet. Some people on Youtube showed the authentic (correct) manual for this series.It completely looked different from mine.
I talked to several Amazon's customers reps. One lady insisted that Amazon sent me a correct manual without any doubts. Then, it means Amazon is sending out wrong manuals to everybody who bought this watch (Formula 1 Chronograph)?

I only give 3 stars for this shopping experience due to the less than helpful Amazon's customer service and their poor package. Yes, the watch itself was fine but remember this is a TAG watch, I didn't buy a cheap watch. This is a highend watch, which is supposed to come with the 100% complete package. Again, this will be a gift so especially the package is as important as the watch. As for Amazon's shipping handling, my watch came in a carton box, where they put only a couple of air bags so the watch box was moving around inside the carton. Furthermore, when I opened up the watch box, my watch was also moving around in a cheap looking plastic Tag box. I was dissapointed with Amazon's handling as well as the customer service. I am sure my boyfriend will look for the authensity of this watch. I will update on that here later.
