TAG Heuer Men's WAB2010.BA0804 Aquaracer Automatic Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This watch is an automatic, meaning that it contains a mechanical movement powered by the action of the wearer's wrist. Some mechanical movements must be wound manually by the user. Neither type require a battery as a quartz watch would. The payoff is that all mechanical watches, however much they might cost, are less accurate than any quartz watch one might buy for $20 from a local garage. The reason that one might pay upwards of $1000 for such a watch is that the movement is a precise, finely engineered example of the watchmaker's craft, and not a simple piece of electronics produced by the millions as might be found in a cheap Casio (to take nothing away from Casio).

The highest quality automatic watches are known as 'chronometers', and must contain a movement that has passed a rigorous set of tests laid down by the Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (www.cosc.ch). Such a movement will have an accuracy of 99.99%, which is the maximum obtainable. Only 3% of all watches produced in Switzerland each year are certified as chronometers. Briefly, the COSC standard states that a certified movement must be accurate to within -4/+6 seconds per day. Most high-quality mechanical watches can be adjusted by a good watchmaker to meet that level of accuracy. As far as I am aware, this movement (a Tag-modified ETA 2824-2 for the technically inclined) is not COSC certified; however, this does not mean that it cannot meet the standard, but simply that Tag Heuer have not submitted it for testing.

Even chronometer-certified movements are still less accurate than a quartz watch. This is not a problem specific to Tag Heuer, but is common to any mechnical watch, whether it be from Rolex, Omega, Breitling or any other manufacturer. Even Omega's new co-axial movement is not designed to increase accuracy, but rather stability over time. Stability is often considered to be a more desirable characteristic than pure accuracy in a mechanical timepiece (which is in any case impossible); that is, that it constantly gains 6 seconds a day, rather than gaining one day and losing time the next.

Many people (and websites) confuse chronometers with chronographs. A chronograph is a watch that has extra functions and displays allowing the timing of individual events, similar to a stopwatch. This watch is not a chronograph.

When buying an expensive watch, or any other valuable item, it pays to do a small amount of research and understand what exactly it is one is paying for.

I have always been very impressed with the build quality of Tag Heuers; their finishing and reliability is excellent and they are very reasonably priced when compared to other high-grade Swiss watches.

TAG Heuer Men's CAF2010.BA0815 Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always liked automatic watches. I own automatic watches from Seiko, Citizen, Invicta and Tag. The Tag is built like a tank. Things I do not like about my CAF2010: Runs a tad faster - gains about 4 minutes every month - I have to reset the time every month, or find myself going early to meetings sometimes when I dont have my blackberry to dictate time. But thats the case with almost any automatic watch. This one's going to be with me for a lifetime. You learn to live with it - if I wanted digital precision, I would've bought a digital watch at a mere one hundredth of the cost of this watch - but its not about that.

TAG Heuer Men's WAF2112.BA0806 Aquaracer Automatic Stainless Steel Blue Dial Watch Review

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.
