4/5/2011 Edit
I had to adjust my rating after the timer hand on my Tag now resets itself to the 58 second mark instead of the 1 minute mark. Notice how the black hand in the picture points up to 12 o'clock? Mine sits two clicks clockwise to that. While not a debilitating problem, it's very annoying considering how much I paid for this watch. More problematic, I can't get the thing serviced without paying a a ton because the warranty is only good for 11 months. While I stand by my earlier review about how nice this watch looks, I'd be wary of buying one without the full warranty. Repairs ain't cheap.
Everything still looks great. The only scratches are on the bottom of the band, which isn't surprising. As another reviewer said, the only disappointing thing about this watch is Tag's quality control. While I understand that mistakes happen, they should be rare in an $800 watch.

Great Watch, My First Tag!,
December 11, 2008 Eric F. Basinger (Andrews AFB, MD) - See all my reviews

This is the first Tag I have purchased, and I absolutely love it. I picked this up as a casual piece. I wear it in uniform (USAF) to meetings/gatherings, and out to bars/parties as well. To people with an eye for watches, it is always nice to get a compliment. It's a rare thing now though, since everybody checks the time with cell phones now! The only down side to this watch, is the 40mm size. I'm a big guy, and I'm used to my 48mm Citizen Skyhawk, so it is definitely a noticeable difference when I wear the Tag. All in all, I'm VERY glad I bought this watch, it's a good piece to start a nice collection. No regrets on buying this, and I hope you enjoy yours!

Good looking, but bad mechanics,

The look and feel of this watch are great, but the one I purchased was a mechanical wreck and needed service immediately after I bought it. The date changed every 36 to 48 hours and was horrifically inconsistent, among other things.
It's a *VERY BAD SIGN* when a company like Tag Heuer allows a watch to leave their factory in such bad mechanical condition. People who don't care about the mechanics of a watch can go buy a fake Rolex, but for those of you who do care about such things, think twice before purchasing this watch.
