Automatic Movement - watches, luxury


This is my first Tag and i am very pleased. Its a very nice looking watch. Its not to heavy, its just right. I have had the watch for one month now and have had no problems. I went into the beach with it,the pool and the shower and its working great. Its great for an everyday watch. Great price!!!! TAG Heuer Men's CAH1111.BA0850 Formula 1 Collection Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch

I've had this watch for a few weeks now and it appears to be a solidly built watch with a feel of accuracy and attention to details. I really like the the way it looks - bold but understated.



One improvement that I'd make is to make the hands more visible. Under certain conditions, usually interior lighting, they really blend in with the face forcing you to twist your wrist around until the right angle reveals the location of the hands. While you'll do better with a black face in this department, the silver face and black bezel, in my opinion, is still sharper in appearance.



As for authenticity, I compared the watch and its packaging (box, protective stickers) to that of the department store's and I feel confident about its origin. However, while I found all of the stickers to be intact, I noticed a few small hairs stuck on the inside of the band which indicated to me that the watch didn't come straight from Tag untouched. I decided to live with this as had I bought this from a department store, they'd likely have sold me a piece from the case tried on by numerous customers anyway.

As always a great experience buying from Amazon. Definately a great price on this watch. I had just looked at this watch at a large retail store and Amazon's price beat their 10% discounted price by about $425.00. The watch came as presented, new, in the box, with all paperwork. Very nice

purchase experience. My only concern is the fact that the watch was shipped with no signature required, since it falls below Amazon's dollar amount of $700. Not a good policy on a valuable item such as this.

Honestly, I love it and find myself staring at it often. I must admit I was a bit nervous about buying an expensive watch like this online. The savings were tremendous so it seemed worth it. So far I have done very well with my purchases from Amazon and this one turned out very well. The watch arrived faster than expected, it came in a handsome Tag Heuer leather box with the full manual. Though I have only had it a few weeks I can say that it meets all of my expectations and I have had no problems with it.

As usual Amazon has one of the best prices on luxury watches. The watch arrived one day after shipping thanks to Amazon Prime shipping. The watch was in perfect condition with tags and protective film still intact. Included with the watch was a leather pouch which contained the instruction manual and warranty card. It's a shame Amazon is not an authorized dealer of Tag Heuer as they are with Movado and other brands. Since Amazon is not an authorized dealer the watch is not covered by Tag Heuer but a third-party that Amazon contracts out to. With this watch I don't expect to be shipping it back withing the first two years for repairs. The price has actually risen by a couple of dollars since I purchased it. As with all Tag Heuer watches you can see the craftsmanship that goes into one of these time pieces. If you are looking for your first Tag or to add to your collection this is a great addition. You'll definitely be pleased with this purchase.

When I received the watch everything looked perfect. I wore it for 1 day and realised that it was running 2 mins slow.

So I reset it to the correct time. I waited another full day and checked it against the speaking clock and it was running 5 mins slow.

I took it into a Tag dealership and they tested it, without opening it.

They came to the conclusion that the circuit is not Tag, but an American equivalent.

They could replace the circuit, but it would still lose 5-6 secs a day.

I have recently returned the watch for a refund. Disappointed to have paid that money for

supposedly an accurate time piece.

A beautiful watch. Stylish, yet functional. Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches are highly versatile, and can be worn in a business or a leisure setting interchangeably.



The only drawback, if you call it one, is that Tag will not service a watch bought from grey market dealers such as Amazon. The bright side of this is that for a swiss quartz watch, any failures except for a battery dying are very remote.



Amazon as always ships fast and is a great Company to buy from.

Very nice watch. You can't go wrong with TAG Heuer. Smooth stainless links on bracelet and very comfortable on the wrist. This watch is 41mm approx. and not on the larger scale, but not really small. This is a "normal" sized watch I guess you could say. I'm accustomed to larger and some very large watches in the 43mm, 47mm and 50+mm size scale. It did take me a day of so to adjust down from these larger sizes and get accustomed to looking at a smaller watch on my wrist. Again at 41mm this is not a small watch by any means or a womens watch. Like me many out there like large watches and it would seem that watches are getting bigger all the time. Have a look at what 41mm looks like next to your wrist and if you have other watches compare and certainly if you collect many larger watches.

Purchased this watch as a Valentines Day present to myself and thanked my wife for allowing me to purchase it. Watch has no flaws and classy and sporty looking at the same time. Colors on the watch include silver, black, red and green so it blends with all different clothes combos. I wear a suit during the week and the watch looks great with business attire even though the watch has that sports style. I had the band adjusted at Sears for $12.50. To date no issue with time. It is a little difficult to see hands in direct sunlight, but I believe 50% of this is due to my eyesight. It is easy to use Chronograph using the A and B buttons. It is a snap to adjust time and date as well. I was also able to use the 20% off coupon on this purchase. Tag Rocks. - Watches - Luxury - Swiss Quartz - Tag Hauer'
