I've had a Tag Aquaracer for 12 years and it has been worn in some tough conditions. It's held up and is an awesome watch. I have zero complaints.

[@RandomRobReviews]

Testify brother. They are great watches

[@sevenin1]

Mine is a Link Magnum ,COSC.Its really taken some abuse,also have the blue Aquaracer,both deliver excellent service.

[@johnkennedy9078]

I'm on the fence with buying one of these. I'm glad you say longevity is great bc that was a concern for me. I never thought I'd buy a Tag but I've been on the fence with buying a Sumo, and honestly I feel like this might be better purchase for the money?

Had the 43mm Aquaracer for around a year now, and it is really accurate, regularly 0s-+2s/day. Great looks to match - a keeper for sure 👍

[@craigcampbell5112]

I bought an Aquaracer automatic chronograph in 2002 and have worn it everywhere including the beach and surf, sailing, snow, work, and meetings. It only has a few very minor scratches and only been serviced once. It is a brilliant watch.

[@parenpi]

I still have my Aquaracer I bought in 2005......

[@zhengwang8071]

You are absolutely right at the beginning of the video, the aquaracer is just a nice watch, doesn't matter what some in the watch collecting community thinks. I own the steel bezel 43mm version. What I found is that with the 'maxi' indices, the 43mm has a bit more dial space, and therefore looks a bit less crowded on the dial.

[@ilyaslobodkin3811]

You are right. What color in 43 mm SS did you get?

[@fpoynton1604]

Very tough solid tool watch w great dial and case shape. The bright green dial version from last year is an absolute knockout - it looks amazing. 👍.

[@saleendriver]

Very very nice. Tag always seems to make a very good piece.

[@rj-yr4ql]

I have been using a Tag Heuer automatic Aquaracer for over ten years, wears it almost 24/7 (only removes it when in the shower...yes, I wear it while sleeping). I have never had it serviced, because it runs fine. It always tells accurate time, provided it is properly wound. And, it still looks pretty good, considering it has been around my wrist for over a decade.

[@evolution8662]

Hi there wow yoyre glued to your watch ya... I've recently purchased a Seiko 5 sports and I've worn it to sleep too......

[@seamuswerther2413]

Cool Review- I just picked one of these up in May- i freaking love it- the Bezel is beautiful, it keeps perfect time, and its stunning- the way they built the reflective surfaces on the watch face, it literally GLIMMERS as you move it in the light. It's catchy, sporty, and durable, I couldnt be happier with my purchase. Next watch will prolly be an Omega Seamaster when i can afford it, but I plan on keeping this forever!

[@markdwyer7456]

You're exactly the same as me. I love my aquaracer, have no intention at all of letting it go, and hope to one day add a seamaster.

Nice watch but just a bit too big for me) and one Link SS w/gold with mother of pearl face in quartz ( sweet grab and go watch). As for the frumpy watch snobs of Tag, I'm a total personal appearance person. Frumpy snob should not believe they can hind behind their Rolex or Omega ( I have two) it's the total look you present! So dress nice ( great fitting jeans or dress slacks, nice shoes, dress shirt and sport coat weather permitting). Get the watch that works with your outfit what ever brand it is! Also, quit watching Mr Tag Hater the Time Teller. He's frumpy and a circus barker! All hot air!

Love these although was not so sure on the sizing. With the bracelet, it is definitely a chunk sitting on your wrist. Bought one, sold it, had sellers remorse and bought another one. Mine is the blue on blue. This is definitely a keeper but consider either the nylon or rubber strap.

[@edwardkollar448]

I have this in the 41 mm, the color is great, and the lume is fantastic . I also have the Tag Formula 1 GMT, and it has been running only about 1 second per day fast. Tag makes a good watch, it's unfortunate they get such a bad rap at times.

[@traquakuppler]

Aquaracer is a watch I would only buy from AD, fakes are way too "good". Please read the forums and beware, there are examples of Tag confirming fakes to be genuine. Saving 300 buying from grey market or Ebay, not worth the risk!

[@bokkenrijder172]

I just bought this model Aquaracer in blue but a 41mm. If you like and want this particular design, then be quick because TAG has discontinued the 41mm versions! It’s still featured on their website, probably in order to sell remaining stock, but in Germany (where I live) I got one of the last remaining 41mm blue ones. As always, do your own homework as things might be different in your part of the world, but in Europe/Germany, I’ve been told by multiple jewelers that it’s no longer possible to order a brand new 41mm Aquaracer from TAG.

[@DougsPerspective]

Rob, as a fellow owner of a white dialed Omega SMP Diver 300, how would you compare this watch to the Omega? I am thinking of adding this a a nice "beater." To be honest, I recently sold my Omega and have a 2019 Rolex Batman on jubilee, 2020 Rolex Datejust 41, and a 2019 Tag Heuer Monaco. I tried to love the white dialed Omega, but I guess I'm just not a white dial guy. Also, it was a bit expensive to be my "beater." So, now I am considering this one. I would love your input.

I'm just not super wild on the Tag's design but I like the size. I mean, I would gladly pay $1200-1500 for the Tag but only if it didn't get in the way of an Omega Seamaster. And God do I hate pin and collar bracelets; I just finished sizing my Orient Triton and man what a pain in the butt. Damn the lume is amazing though.

I like the watch- but I do have concerns about the brand. I've read and seen videos on multiple occasions discussing their use of plastic movement holders, which make their watches more susceptible to failure. Do you know if this is one of those watches with a plastic movement holder? Also- is that dial black, or a matching blue? Thanks for your consistently great work, RR.

[@scbond]

Jim Davis You are the classic case of the problem that is Tag Heuer bashing. You have no issue with the actual product but you have READ and SEEN bad things and have formulated an opinion based on that. The vast majority of hatred towards Tag Heuer is people spreading hearsay.

It's not heresay- it's fact, Mr. Troll @scbonduk. I've had problems with plastic movement holders myself. I happen to be a Tag fan, and own a Monaco Chronograph. I'm just not a fan BOY.

Plus i do prefer a watch with a little weight...i know solar powerd watches are lighter because of the movement used. If they could use the 300's case....heh...or make a Solargraph 300.... LOOKS--Tag's DO i feel manage to stand apart from theo toher dive watches on the market...e.g. Omega, Rolex, Tudor, Seiko....in a sea of generic looing dive watches. Not sure if the markets are spaced a little more apart? Is the bezel more glossy on the Tag's?? And i agree...."good LUm" matters. And the cache of the Tag name...that matters too...wehther we admit it or not. Even if 96 percent of the time no one is going to see our watch or care what watch we're wearing.

[@TheCdM1981]

You really should measure with a caliper. People always wonder why the 43mm wears so large to the eye. The reason why is because it’s not 43mm. I measured it and Without the humps on the case it measures at 44.5mm. The bezel measures at 43. So I have no idea why Tag is falsely advertising their watch sizes. Ok I understand .5 but a full 1.5mm is crazy. I assume they know if they advertise 44.5 or 45mm at that point no one would want it.
