Quick review of the Aquaracer just to show off the incredible build quality. This watch is very hard to fault. I can only assume the haters have never actually owned or even held a Tag Heuer piece. It's marvellous!

I bought the same model in 2016. It was sent to repair after 3 months of use, something to do with the winding, seems to be broken or something. From 2016 to current, it had been sent for repairs a total of 5 times. Last year, in May, I had to spent about $200 to get the whole movement replaced. Almost before 1 year is up for the repair warranty, the winding stopped working again, got it replaced for free again. Now I have 3 Tag Heuer soft cases, lol. I still love the watch. The blue dial and the yellow accents was what caught my attention and my wife bought it for me on the spot. Till this day, it is still gorgeous.

Bugatti Veyron - Yes, you made a good point - it's true that you can find this movement in cheaper watches. However, Tag Heuer do modify and improve the movement. Also Tags are far superior than the $500 watches in every other way. You will find the fit and finish is far better, the build quality, reliability and overall look and feel will beat any $500 watch. It is not just about the movement. 👍

I bought a WAY2112 at xmas 2016 but after 11 months it developed winding problems after only light use. It was fixed under warranty without quibble but i wasn't told what the problem had been. Now I'm having similar trouble with the watch so looking to get it sorted. It feels like a gear has stripped or the teeth have bent. It's rotated with other watches so doesn't get a massive amount of use. Even though I've had trouble with it I do love the watch. The blue dial is beautiful especially with the sun on it. The bracelet is top class and comfortable and the bezel clicks round smoothly. The lume is also top class if I needed it.

I know this is an old comment, but this issue is something encountered on many ETA 2824 / Selitta SW-200 watches. One of the winding gears is made of what can only be described as metallic cheese and the gear teeth shear with manual winding. It's not a solution, but ive always given my watches a quick couple of turns to get the balance moving and then let the rotor and my arm do the rest of the work and i've not run into the teeth shearing issue yet.

I have an older Aquaracer with stainless steel bezel as well as a Breitling Colt which also has a stainless steel bezel. The SS bezel will still look good especially since it is mostly brushed. The shiny part will take scratches but only similar to bezel-less sports watch which also has SS "bezel". Basically it will look just like the rest of your watch case which is made of SS anyways. You can actually polish the shiny parts of the bezel using cape cod polisher. How well the bezel looks really depends on how well you take care of your watch. An aluminum bezel will easily scratch and is an inferior material (IMO) compared to the stainless steel. The Ceramic is better but if you are careless it will still chip off just like the sapphire. At the end of the day, it still depends on how well you take care of your watch.

Great review. I am trying to decide between this model or the 41mm version of the same, blue dial SS bezel. My wrist is 7.25 inches. So I am right in between the 2 sizes. The 43 would look more hefty and grab more attention, however I googled that the weight of the 43 is 212 grams, and the 41 is 154 grams. That's a huge difference. I own a 43 mm Victorinox Maverick green chrono, which weighs 208 grams, and although it's not a deal breaker for me I would still prefer something under 180. When it's above 200 grams you constantly feel the watch on your wrist with any movement you make or stretch. That's why I am conflicted. The 41 seems just a tad small in pictures though. What do you guys think? I guess I should go to a AD and see if they still have 41s in stock to try on
@wristwatchdave422 Жыл бұрын
Hi - I recommend the 41mm. I used to have the 41mm version with the blue ceramic bezel and I much preferred the size. It doesn't look small and is far more comfortable - the smaller size just looks more classy in my opinion.
@ilyaslobodkin3811 Жыл бұрын
@@wristwatchdave422 thanks Dave. I was first leaning towards the 41, just from photos and forums, and then someone mentioned it's smaller than it looks in wrist shots on Google. So I started being conflicted again. How did you like the 41 blue ceramic bezel (way211c) vs the blue dial SS bezel yellow arrow looks wise? I was originally interested in the way211c, but seeing it in photos and videos, it looks like under bright light the bezel would turn a lighter blue than the dial (which is I didn't particularly like, it looked like a very light blue). So it felt a little incongruent with the dial under certain light. Also the orange arrow, although nice, still think I prefer the yellow one. How about you? Both really nice designs and ideally I'd wear both, but if you had to pick one favorite would it be the way211c or the blue SS bezel? Also what are your views on the black dial, ceramic bezel? Way211a. Also one of my top picks. But the blue is more colourful. Was also admiring the emerald green, SS bezel. But that only comes in 43 and that green is very bright under certain lighting Appreciate your time!
