I can safely say that the time gain is about 10 seconds, which means on average the watch gains one second a day. Even by COSC standards (the Swiss time-keeping institute that awards certificates to superlative chronometers like Rolex and Breitling) this is very good indeed. I believe the movement is in-house made, though the base caliber is probably from ETA/Valjoux. My version is blue, though black is equally handsome. Note that the latest versions have "Aquaracer'' on the dial but I don't think it makes any difference performance-wise. Also note that Longines have just a couple of months ago released a line that looks similar and is about US$300 cheaper but the finishing on the TAG is much better. All in all, this is a rugged daily use watch that keeps excellent time and so represents decent value for money. 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAB2011.BA0803 Automatic Aquaracer Watch (Watch) This watch is obviously a head turner- lots of compliments. But the time keeping is nothing to brag about. Mine has been running about 5 seconds fast per day no matter which way I lay it at night. The other thing I noticed was that the claimed 36 hour wind life might not be quite that long. I let mine sit for only 24 hours and it was stopped.I would still recommend this watch though. I am happy with my purchase for the money. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's WAB2011.BA0803 Automatic Aquaracer Watch (Watch) I have a large watch collection but I like to add a new watch each year. I had orginally reviewed many of the Omega styles. However, after comparing this Tag Aquaracer model to numerous Omega styles, I decided to purchase this Tag. The watch is a real head turner, and in my opinion, this style looks far superior to similar Rolex models and a fraction of the cost. The pic on the web page does not show how nice this one looks. The dial is a deep blue and the bezel is a dark blue also.Size, weight, functionality: Though I have small wrists, I like these large watches, and I think this one comes in at 44 MM. However, when I took to a local watch maker, he was able to adjust the band so that is was a snug fit and did "roll over" on my wrist. The automatic function works fine and the date calendar works fine. The crown is a screw in which I like, especially when washing cars. I don't expect any watch to keep 100% accurate time, but so far when I set this watch to an atomic...Read more |
