Is The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Any Good?

So, is the TAG Heuer Aquaracer any good? One of the globally best-known brands in Swiss watchmaking, TAG Heuer finds itself in a bit of a controversy when it comes to answering this question. In this video, I take a look at my favorite modern example of the Aquaracer while discussing the history and of not just the model, but the brand as a whole. What do you think of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer dive watch?

My wife gave me an Aquaracer as a wedding gift, which later timed the 355, 640 minutes from the time we learned she was pregnant until the minute our daughter was born. For some crazy reason, my reaction was to check the time when the doctor gave us the news! 😆 Since then, it’s been on my wrist on many special occasions. I still love it and someday, it will be passed on to her.

Tag heuer was that brand that got me into watches. It always surprises me to see the hate that their new lines seem to get. While I think a little overpriced, I like most every one of their newer watches!

Tag Heuer, and specifically the Aquaracer, were the reason I got into the hobby/obsession. Starting off, it's by far the most attainable Swiss brand that has all you'd want when buying your first luxury watch: beautiful design, brand recognition, sturdy automatic movement, and great fit. I'm really happy with my Aquaracer 2 years after I bought it.

My wife brought me a TAG every time I was promoted when I served in the U.S. Marine Corps. 1st Lt, TAG! Captain, TAG! Major, TAG! LtCol, TAG! She purchased them at Marine Corps Exchanges. When my RSUs vested when I worked at Amazon, she was with me when I bought a TAG Monaco Calibre 11 in NYC a few years ago. 😊

I own an Aquaracer from 2017. I know about the challenges the brand currently faces, but it is still a watch that never let me down. It is still running really well in between +4/-4 seconds a day. I have been everwhere with the watch and the good thing about it is that you can wear it hiking a 6000, diving or whatever and also wear it for a nice dinner. Highly recommend.

I own a 2017 aqua racer caliber 5. It’s one of the best Swiss watches I’ve ever owned. Super comfortable on the wrist and it’s substantial at 43mm. And the design certainly sets it apart as it has a modern look with the angles on the bezel and the lines on the dial that can disappear in certain light. Most importantly it runs like the day I first put it on.

My dad had a tag heur growing up. Still has it and it has been his sole watch since I was born. He bought it when he first started working. Now it’s only worth $400 but it’s his watch and it’s just part of his look. Infamously iconic. I’m hoping to get a tag heur in ode to his watch. I’m loving the titanium aqua racer and am thinking that when I’m able, that will be the next watch I’d like to pick up.

TAG finally getting some of the love they deserve. Not every waych of their's is a winner, but they've made some great prices and owned the 90s/early 2000s

I got the Aquaracer when I went to buy my first luxury watch (what I’d consider luxury anyway - opinions may differ.) I loved the 300m diver but the dimensions were too large for my wrist at 43. I went in to buy the titanium Solargraph but fell in love with the blacked-out WBP1112.FT6199 with better lume inside and on the bezel with a superluminova marbling of sorts. I adore the watch and have become quite fond of TAG since. Great review!

my dad got me an older version of this in black back in 2011 for graduating college. the modern updates like that blue dial make it even nicer now

[GregSalazar]

I opted for a red one of these. The blue seemed like the obvious choice, but wanted something outside the norm, so to speak. Lovely watch.

I got that exact Aquaracer 200 for my wedding, and it holds a sentimental value in my watch collection. I was considering Tudor Black Bay or the Aquaracer 300 at the time, but when this Aquaracer 200 in blue came out just in time I was instantly in love with the look and the size fits me perfectly. I got it second hand in brand new condition for half of the retail price😍 Have it for over 1yr now and serve as my daily watch, love every time it is on my wrist❤

Thanks Teddy, I bought it this gorgeous Tag Heure about one year ago after many searches as my first luxury watch, and looks great on my wrist, totally value for money in quality, finishing and as a well known brand, im very happy with my decision 😊

[benzjamin]

I’m in love with the Titanium Solar version. I’m having a hard time with the price, but I think it’s the best looking Titanium watch out there.

Tag Heuer got me into watches in the 1990s. I own 3 Tag watches l purchased in the 90s & 2010 and purchased the Heuer Monaco Calbrie 11 Steve McQueen blue dail last year and l love all 3 in different reasons great watches well built never let me down looking to add my 4th Tag soon.

[scottlisson]

I owned one. Sold it last year. Can’t remember why. I loved the dial texture and fit. Just fell out of love I guess. Your video makes me want her back. 😂

[danieljunior]

Nice that you did a take on this TAG!
Most watch experts are so "purist" they can't even talk about TAG!!!
I own a Carrera with Heuer 01 movement and I'm quite happy with it.

Love mine. Wish I still had my old automatic that was stolen, but the current quartz replacement has been my primary watch for years until I recently started collecting.

[nicolasprimout]

This is the watch I own and I love it!

Loved to see your take on It!
