 The Ultimate Casual Sport Watch May 02, 2008
I have spent years accumulating nice watches. (Though I refuse to buy a Rolex - unless I hit the lotto) I have the following: OMEGA SEAMASTER MENS 300M WATCH (2221.80.00), TAG HEUER AQUARACER MENS WATCH (WAF1120.BB0807), TAG HEUER AQUARACER AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH MENS WATCH (CAF2110.BA0809) Invictas, Seiko's (Dives, Chrono, dress), Citizen (caliber) and a few the wife bought. Most costing between $1500 and $3500. Each time I have really loved the purchase but the best deal is this one. Only this one has provoked strangers in conversation gasping as to how nice this watch is. Unbelievable value !!!

Perfect combination of style and substance Apr 05, 2008
This is an awesome watch. It has the right amount of bling to make an impression but never goes over the line of good taste. The functions work exactly as they are supposed to. The bracelet is very comfortable and is lightly brushed giving it an elegant appearance. I intended to spend a lot more than this much on a watch to replace a 7 year old Cartier. But when I looked around no quartz from Omega or Breitling really did it for me. Other Tags are nice - like the Link Chrono and black face Aquaracer - but this one hits the mark better for me personally.
Many watch afficianado's dislike quartz but I can't live with a watch that loses 15 minutes every 6 months. And some will say Tag is more about marketing (Tiger Woods, etc.) than excellent timekeeping. That's OK with me. This piece has the great looks and finish a quality timepiece should. And the only time I have to reset it is when I change timezones or for daylight savings time.

Classy Yet Rugged Oct 02, 2007
My wife bought this watch for me for my b-day. Needless to say I was suprised. I have always wanted a Tag since they are classy yet rugged and practical. This watch is a classic Tag with the elegant look and very sturdy feel. I wear mine every day and have had no problems with it in the 6 months that I have had it. I wear it mountain biking, scuba diving, working on the car, mowing the grass... It has the wet suit expansion clasp on the bracelet so you can dive with it (very important feature for me). Some would say that taking it to a certified Tag dealer to get it worked on is a pain (I had to get a link removed from the bracelet) but I took mine to Jared and they did it right there. The post about the $100 battery change is true but would you want to scuba dive with a $995 watch that wasn't sealed? I have a Seiko diver's watch that I had the battery replaced at one of these mall places and then went diving. Well after the dive I noticed that there was water in my watch because they didn't replace the gaskets that "Waterproof" dive watches. I would rather pay $100 and avoid this altogether. I have gotten many compliments on my watch and feel very lucky to be able to show it off :) If you are on the fence about purchasing this watch PULL THE TRIGGER and buy it!!! You won't be disappointed. I still look down and say, "I have a Tag".

 5 stars for design Oct 11, 2006
I had to get it when i saw it. However,mine has a few problems. 1st, the second hand of the chrono (the longest red needle) wasn't aligned exactly at 12. I've already sent it for servicing and it's better now but still not precise enough. Anyway,2nd,that same hand is a tad loose.It's not due to the servicing 'cos i noticed it even b4 sending it for service.3rd,which is actually partly my own fault, the black numbers of the tachometer on the case that surrounds the face can come off! I didn't scrap it out.I just put it in a jewellery cleaner that uses the vibration of water to loosen fine particles and the black paint of 1 of the numbers came off! That's why i only gave it a 3-star rating. Aesthetically,i can't find another watch looking as good as this at this price.

 Keeps fantastic time...battery change expensive Sep 12, 2006
Love my Tag Indy 500...only loses a few seconds every 6 months. Mine needed a new battery after 20 months. When I took it to a store that sells and services them, they told me to change the battery, they have to change the gaskets too and it would cost $100. I called Tag Heuer and they told me only Tag's Service Center is authorized to change the battery and they refused to tell me how much until I shipped it to them. They weren't too concerned about my dilemma. By some stroke of luck, they told me that I could send it back under the 2 year warranty and they would change the battery at no charge. That worked this time...but now every 2 years, it will cost me $100 plus shipping and insurance to change the battery.
