Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had my Aquaracer for a short while now and I really love it.
This is my second Tag and I'm looking forward to not having to buy batteries every 8 or 9 months, since this watch is "automatic" and should self-wind with regular wear.
Some have mentioned that the watch will need regular maintenance (perhaps every year or two) to maintain the automatic mechanism. This wasn't mentioned to me at the point of sale. I suspect I will just let it go and see how long it runs without problems.
The watch itself is really beautiful, one of the nicest looking Tag's I think.
The blue background is not a solid blue, it looks like metallic blue with tiny gray or silver dots creating a very tiny grid-work.The result, to my eye, is that the blue background takes on different shades of deep blues depending on the light and the viewing angle. All these colors have a beautiful, and lustrous effect to them.
The dial is very easy to read. That was one of the reasons I was attracted to the watch. No extra dials or gizmos to confuse your eye, just nice big hands and nice big marks on all the hours.
The glow-in-the dark material, which is implemented as tiny strips centered in the silver hour marks, gives off a very faint greenish color by day. To me this is a very beautiful contrast with the blue background.
The crystal, which is synthetic sapphire, is very clearand I love the anti-glare aspect of it. I hope it as anti-scratch as I have been lead to believe. Apparently it is only scratchable by diamonds or certain cutting materials which one should not normally encounter.
I teach aerobics and wear this watch during class. It gets lots of waving around, bumping, and quick-stop impact during various exercises and so far it seems none the worse for wear. I have not yet tested it under water... honestly I'm a little worried about doing so. Other expensive "water resistant" watches I have had have proven to not be so resistant afterall, and I'd hate to mess this watch up.
The band is very comfortable and it has what I would call a double latch mechanism, which theoretically should lessen the chances of the watch unlatching and falling off your wrist.
The watch is not cheap, but is less so than many Tag's and comparable watches. It the favorite of all my watches now. I have 4 in total that were all priced over $1,000.00, just to give a frame of reference.
I'll create a new post in a few months or years after I can see the longevity of the watch.
