Customer Rating:      Summary: Love it Comment: Ordinarily I might get all technical about a purchase, but in this case (that's a watch pun, I guess), and for a watch of this type, it's really more about taste and aesthetics. Heck, if you want to time things to the nanosecond, get a Casio or whatever. Just my opinion.
I bought the watch for myself as a birthday present. I love the way it looks and how the band feels; the ensemble is so well designed that it's extremely comfortable despite the heft of the stainless case. I like the feature (which I didn't know about when I bought the watch) that allows one to turn off the moving mechanism, say, overnight; at a press of the crown, the hands zero out to save the battery. Another press in the morning, and the electronics send them back to the right spot. It's a little worrisome to read that the projected battery life is a couple of years (versus the five years or more that I've experienced with other watches), but I haven't had the watch long enough yet to worry about it. The other comment to make is that buying a watch on the Internet often means that one must do with the vendor's warranty rather than the manufacturer's. The discount makes that worthwhile, in my opinion, although of course the high-end sellers and manufacturers disagree.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great watch Comment: This watch is great. It is the best looking watch I have seen in a long time. Date function is unique and works great. A little challenging setting time and date. I am very happy overall.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Watch,but there is a subject with the accuracy Comment: This watch is excellent. No doubts about that. I got this watch 2 month ago, but I'm not 100% happy with one subject.
With the saphire anti-glare crystal the watch looks very nice. The operation of chronograph is very easy and the time values (with 1/100 sec. accuracy) also very easy to read. The watch is on the heavy side, but with the smooth bracelet you don't feel it.
My subject is the accuracy. Without using the chronograph, the watch looses 1 sec/week. Thats an acceptable value for such kind of watch. But, if you repeatedly use the chronograph, say some 5 times and play pushing the buttons sometimes, the watch looses 1 second that day. And that's a problem for me.
Because of that I went to an Official TagHeuer dealer and made a battery change for US$ 25.-, but the situation continue being the same.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great watch, if you have money to burn Comment: Just got this watch and I have to tell you it is really nice. You can dress it us or dress it down. The Saphire Crystal can only be scratched by a diamond or another saphire. It has anti-glare crystal so it looks like it has no glass compared to a regular watch side by side. When it does reflect light, it makes the black bezel look dark blue or sometimes deep purple.
It tells the date by using the two smaller dials that resemble a tachonmeter. It says it has a perpetual calander, so you don't have to touch it on short months or even leap years... it does it automatically!
I got this for my wedding anaversary... so unless you have just under $3,000 to burn... I would just get someting else..lol.. This is a serious time peice, and looks smart, and tech-wise. This watch suttley states, "it's a nice watch, and if you only knew how much it costs!" lol
