 Don't Buy.....Owned it 3 Month's, has worked only 1 weekApr 02, 2010
Bought In January 2010 as a present from my wife. Since then it has worked only about a grand total of 1 week.
It's been sent once for repairs, spent 1 month in repair, came back worked for 2 days, before it stopped working again. Call to Amazon Warranty repair says they can repair it as many times as they deem necessary and each time I have to pay for shipping and insurance at a tune of $30.00. Going back for warranty repair a 2nd time in just over a month. Purchased for $960, so far spent $60.00 in shipping costs.
Better off spending $500 more at a Tag authorized store and getting a REAL Warranty!
 Aquaracer Quartz AlarmMar 23, 2010
I have owned my Aquaracer for about 8 months now and it has proven to be very accurate and reliable. Several reviewers on different sites have complained about the alarm feature and at first it confused me too. After CAREFULLY reading the manual I realized that it is normal for the alarm hands to rotate when pulling out the stem to set the time on the watch. This is part of the alarm synchronization procedure. After setting the time the alarm needs to be synchronized to the time set. This is done while the watch is still in time set mode with the crown pulled all the way out. Then just hold the alarm button in till the alarm hands show exactly the same time as the watch hands. When the crown is pushed back in the alarm hands return to their previously set position and are synchronized. Once this is done the alarm is accurate to the second. I have never before seen an analog watch with an alarm that sounded on the second.
I am quite impressed with the quality of this watch. The crown and stem screw in nicely and the sapphire crystal is still without the slightest scratch. The one way rotating bezel has 120 clicks for a complete rotation and requires enough effort to turn that it has never moved unintentionally. The luminous coating on the hands and face markings are very bright and keep usable brightness all night. This is always my watch of choice now when I expect to be out at night. The date display is well done and quite readable at the unique six o'clock position. While the bracelet uses pressed in pins for adjustment rather than threaded screws, the pins press into small bushings that work quite well and the bracelet feels well made. I also like the fact that Tag Heuer did not try to copy the Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster as so many other makers have, but created their own style with the Aquaracer line. And finally I like the size. I know that huge watches are quite in style these days but my wrists are a bit small and at 38.4 mm the case is a very nice size that looks and feels good to wear.

 Nice watch, horrible packaging...Feb 10, 2010
The watch was packaged in a box that was too big for it and there was minimal protection in the package at all. When I picked up the box the watch was in, it appeared the watch was just rolling around in it. Not knowing that this was the Tag Heuer box until I opened it. I am highly disappointed in the way that this was packaged and I might seek a refund if after examination of the watch that I find it to be a refurbished item. I state this due to the Tag Heuer box being scuffed and the watch itself being mishandled in packaging. Amazon had better wake up when it comes to quality control.
Update: I tested the watch and it is defective. While trying to adjust the time on the watch, the alarm dial started to spin erratically and than it stopped on 2:29 and then started again to spin erratically and than stopped at 8:30 and didn't spin again. Take note I was just trying to adjust the time dials. When I went to adjust the alarm it worked okay but it has it's own control and it should not have been spinning when I was adjusting the time dials. I followed the instructions in the manual to the letter, it is quality control with the company that Amazon contracts with.
From the second that I unscrewed the crown -- this watch features a crown that screws in for water tightness -- it felt flimsy and poorly secured. Plus pulling the crown out to the 2 position started the alarm function to go off on its own, as mentioned above.
Furthermore, Amazon will not replace this product. The best they will do is a refund, which takes 7-14 days from the time they receive the returned product. And they require you to go to the post office and mail it via insured USPS mail, instead of having UPS (the delivery company) pick it up.
Amazon's price is great, as is TAG's reputation, but this situation has left a bad taste in my mouth with regard to both companies. The watch is going back. Also as a warning, the site on which you register your watch ([..]) has Tag Heuer misspelled, they have it spelled as Tag Hauer. Tells you what type of service you will get from them. Probably outsourced to India who outsources to China.

Perfect ChoiceDec 08, 2009
I had considered purchasing the watch from a jeweler just for the sake of having the Tag warrenty. After reviewing the warrenty Amazon offers aside the Tag warrenty there wasn't a big difference in what would be covered, and they were both 2 years in length, so I decided to save $600.00 and go with Amazon. So glad I did! The watch is gorgeous and it was packaged in the lovely Tag box with all the Tag care instructions. Completely satisfied!
