TAG Heuer Mens Formula 1 review
The TAG Heuer Men’s Formula 1 watch is the only watch for anyone living life to the fullest. This rugged, bold watch looks and feels like it can stand up to anything—whether you’re rock climbing or water skiing, you know it’ll keep on ticking. Good news for those looking to buy the TAG Formula 1 - it is currently on sale at Amazon for over $350 off through this link. Supplies are limited though so hurry!
The stainless steel band, with a fold over clasp and additional safety, means the thought of losing it never even crosses your mind. The red watch face makes a statement no one can ignore, and luminescent hands and hour ticks at five minute intervals keep people checking it out even when it’s dark. I’m never surprised when I get compliments on this watch; there’s just no way not to notice it.
The dial is covered with scratch resistant sapphire and the watch is water resistant for up to over 600 feet. So when I went hiking to a lake with my girlfriend, I didn’t need to take it off and store it while climbing rough terrain or for the swim we enjoyed afterwards. It was one less thing to have to think about, and I liked that a lot–it let me focus on my girlfriend.
Three sub dials, including a stopwatch, take precision timing to a whole other level and make this watch more than just a way to keep time. Unlike most watches, the date is under the four o’clock marker, which I find to be much easier to read than the traditional three o’clock position.
I’m not normally one for celebrity endorsements, but after having this watch and wearing it every day for the past three months I wasn’t surprised when I found out it’s the watch worn by Fernando Alonso, a Formula One champion who races for McLaren Mercedes. It certainly feels like it stand up to the kind of wrecks those guys get in to.
There are multiple versions of this TAG :
And since it’s a TAG, the brand name speaks for itself—I never worry about mechanical issues cropping up or that it’s not telling me the right time. If you enjoy the outdoors and lead an active lifestyle like I do, this watch is definitely worth the investment.

TAG Heuer Men’s Link Series Watch Review
The TAG Heuer Men’s Link Series watch is perfect for every day wear. The stainless steel, Y-link band makes the watch suitable to wear with both casual and formal dress, while the scratch resistant, sapphire face cover means you don’t have to worry about accidentally brushing the watch face against my desk or a wall. Good news for those looking to buy this watch - it is currently on sale at Amazon for over 50% off here. Hurry though because the promotion ends soon.
Elegant detailing, such as the ribbed crown edge and solid face center (surrounded with a sleek, wave design as a background for the numbers) allow this watch to fit with a suit as easily with a polo shirt and khakis.
The illuminated hour hands and hour markers allow you to subtly check the time in the theater or a dimly-lit restaurant (or in a darkened board room during a media presentation). The date calendar ensures I always know what day of the month it is.
I knew TAG Heuer was a brand known for its accuracy, but I still can’t believe how accurately this watch keeps the time. I haven’t had to reset it a single time since I first bought it eight months ago and it’s just as accurate as the clock on my cell phone.
And for all of its design and functional qualities, I don’t feel like I’m lugging a brick around on my wrist, either. The case is only thirty-nine millimeters wide and ten millimeters thick, making it a good, light fit on my wrist. The safety on the fold over, push-button clasp means I never worry about the watch slipping off and getting lost, either.
At night, I store it in the thick, durable stainless-steel case, which helps me rest easy at night knowing the watch will be ok if my cat knocks the case off the nightstand. In fact, I think the case weighs more than the watch!
Looking to buy this watch cheap? It is currently on sale at Amazon for over $960 off here.
The TAG Heuer Men’s Link Series watch is definitely a quality timepiece. It’s easy to see, now that I own one, why so many sporting franchises (including the Olympics) rely on this brand to keep time for events. It certainly does its job keeping time for me in my daily life.

TAG Heuer Men’s 2000 Aquaracer Quartz Watch Review
The TAG aquaracer may be expensive, but it is well worth every penny. This thing is built to last. With a three-hand function dial and luminescent markings on the hands, this watch will be sure to impress your friends. The main dial is set in a steel case. The frame includes an aluminum ring complete with text large enough to read. This watch also happens to be water resistant to around 300 meters, so you can go swimming with it. You can get a really nice deal on this watch from Amazon here. Its on sale for over $330 off.
The watch itself looks excellent. The black grooves and yellow second hand gives the watch an attitude while the stainless steel band and case give a certain feeling of class. This watch has the style of the Omega and Rolex that looks similar, yet this watch costs a couple thousand dollars less. While the face of the watch itself is great and is tough to scratch the seconds hand on the watch is kind of offset from the actual digits, but the difference is barely noticeable. It’s a tight watch, classy and sporty. Really goes with anything I choose to wear, whether it is a nice suit or just a blank tee and some casual shorts.
It may be a good idea when you first purchase this watch to shorten the band, depending on the size of your wrist. Shortening the band will most likely take out 3 excess links. To take the links out you need a kit and you must always be careful which direction you bang out the steel pins, you may want to leave this step for a jeweler. The top dial on the watch can serve as a timer for diving. My advice is to push down rather than push from the sides. That way the dial won’t jam.
Want to buy this watch? I highly recommend you buy it from Amazon here. They are a certified TAG dealer.
If you are unsure about paying a few hundred dollars for a watch, take into consideration how long this item will last assuming it isn’t lost or stolen. A watch of this caliber should last at least fifteen to twenty years, which equals out to about $30 per month. The bottom line: This is a watch well worth your time and money.
