i grew up always wanting a Tag Heuer Carrera, but along the way there were several reports and rumours that didnt put the brand in a rather good light. But, regardless of its rep, Tag was still at the top of the watch that I would like to own one day. Fast forward to early this year... I pulled the trigger and got myself a Tag Heuer Carrera date and love it a lot

I know that people bash Tag Heuer, but I really like their designs. I've always wanted a Carrera. I gave my Aquaracer to my Dad and he prefers wearing that over his 'Date Just' Rolex. And not because of any sentimental reason. He just likes the way it sits on his wrist. It keeps excellent time too.

Tag Heuer is a great brand. This coming from someone who owns brands over 10k. Don’t worry what a FEW say. They are just loud repeating what they hear never owning one.
@nondescriptnyc Жыл бұрын
Admittedly, TAG has done some weird things-like inexplicably releasing a bunch of cheap quartz models for a period, slapping the TAG name on Seiko movements, etc., which is probably why some people consider TAGs to be substandard. But I agree with you that today’s TAG is entirely different. They make great watches that are both aesthetically pleasing and well constructed.

I got the black dial day/date version a few years ago. Was my first step into the luxury watch market. Still wear it every day at the office. Love it.
@theaussiewhinger2 жыл бұрын
This was a great review and I'm really glad that, on the odd occasion, a fair review of Tag Heuer comes up. I actually bought a very similar-looking previous version of this very watch (Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 Date) as my first luxury watch after getting my first ever job after finishing university, and for pretty much the same reasons you cited. Now it is one of a very small collection of watches that I love and that I purchased to commemorate significant moments in my life. Nearly a decade later, I have just had the watch serviced for the first time. Despite having other, mostly more expensive, options in my watch box, I keep returning to this, my first, and will continue to enjoy wearing it into the next decade.

Tag Heuer has always been one of my favorites since I was a kid. My aunt introduced me to the brand in the 90s. She had an Aquaracer. I used to think it was awesome. Now I am 39 years old and STILL Tag Heuer is one of my top 5 favorite luxury watch brands.

So after years of watching watch videos, KZbin reviews, etc… my first “Luxury “ watch was the Carrera 3 hand in white. It’s foreground in person, not in your face but has great play with the different finished bracelet and faceted indices. I can’t really tell if I should use as a sporty watch or dress… but I tend to reserve it for when I wear a “collared” shirt/ polo. Yes even after all the snobs bashed the brand and yes I know they 1887 debacle and yes I know they had wacky 90’s watches but time to wake up. OMg they use an ETA or Selitta ..poo poo then you hear “ oh this Tudor smiley uses ETA and is a collectible” The experts talk out both sides of their mouth. Glad this video is there to show a true unbiased video and give it a true perspective. 2nd luxury purchase was .. a 300M Tag Heuer Aquaracer in Blue. 3rd. Cartier Santos Large for the wife :)

Looks so good I bought one. I'm pretty damn sure it has a top grade SW200. I can tell because Sellita only puts Incabloc shock absorbing mechanism on the Top or COSC grades. Novodiac is put on the lower grades Base and Elabore. Really damn good watch. Proportions = perfect. Lume = yes. 100m WR = good for anything I do. Movement = proven and reliable, easily serviceable. Heritage/History = yes. Also, is Tag Heuer quality improving?

I think it's strange that watch channels, who are effectively salespeople, say things like "a Tag is an entry level this", or "first luxury watch". If it's either of those, it's because it's a good watch. It's equally good for folks with expensive collections that don't want to wear their $5k+ watches for whatever reason. It has it's own style and heritage, and can be properly worn as such, with the benefit of servicing being only a bit more than something like a Hamilton. One of the reasons I probably wouldn't buy a Tudor is because it's raison d'etre is almost entirely "short-of-Rolex". The 925 was kinda cool.
