Sleek, professional, and luxurious, the TAG Heuer Carrera automatic watch for men (model #WV211A.BA0787) is an exquisite timepiece for both business and pleasure. The stainless steel watch case measures 38.5-mm wide (1.52 inches). The silver dial face includes luminous baton hands (with seconds hand), luminous stick hour markers, small minute indexes placed on the interior of the bezel, and a date window at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a triple-link stainless steel bracelet band. Other features include a Swiss-made automatic movement (with a 38- to 42-hour power reserve), highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving.

What Those That Bought It Thought: |
 Pictures don't do it justice |

Gorgeous watch--pictures don't to it justice. The back of the case has a window into the internals, something very cool for a watch buff. I was concerned that the case and bracelet might scratch easily but the stainless steel seems to be very scratch-resistant. Easy to set, easy to read, and very stylish.
Only two things to beware of:
1. Tag does not authorize ANY watches sold through the Web, period. I actually bought mine at an authorized dealer and paid $1695, and the watch is still worth it. Luckily I think Amazon & its sellers are about as good as you'll get for non-authorized sellers. Just make sure you research the actual company selling you the product.
2. There are no microadjustments for the band, meaning it's remove X number of links and that's it. Tag has very sturdy bands--that's probably the reason for no microadjustment. Mine could be a tiny bit tighter but I can't add another link back because it's too tight. Lesson--you might not get band fit you're 100% happy with. I think the band sturdiness over the long term is worth it. |
One Classy Looking Watch!

TAG Heuer's Carrera watch is beautiful. I wanted a simple, classic face and the watch certainly has one. I also prefer this silver dial as opposed to the black one; it exudes a magnificent shine because of the silver color. The buckle on the watch bracelet is also extremely easy to use - no need to use teeth to undo the bracelet.
This is my first luxury timepiece and I am very pleased with it. I originally wanted an Omega but I'm very satisfied with TAG Heuer.
P.S. - I'd also appreciate it if reviewers rated the product and not the purchasing experience. It's a disservice to prospective buyers. |
