Tag Heuer Carrera Glassbox review. A great speedmaster alternative !

The best watch of 23 ? In todays video we are talking a closer look at the Tag Heuer Glassbox 39mm Reverse panda that joined the collection. After one month of wearing it , how do I feel about it ? What are the differences between the blue & black version and why didn't I get the skipper ? We will heave a closer look at all parts of this beautiful design and a look at the new Automatic Chronograph TH20-00. There is plenty of sexy B roll and I'll also show you some really good strap options.

If you are looking for some strap alternatives for the glassbox, check out Artem.

The date is quirky and a throw back to the model this one represents, which is why it's a bit different than the others. Great looking watch with a great movement. Bravo tag 🎉

Brilliant video. My top choice of 2023. I love all the strap options. ❤

[jasonmiles]

I love date at 430 and at 12 just so long as they include it!

[weitsung-lin]

That blue dial with bracelet wrist roll is mine! Didn't think I'd see my photo here haha

[richardwarren]

Excellent review, Semone. Your photography of this watch makes it look really fantastic. Between this in the Speedy, I would choose this. However, the 12 o’clock date wheel, and the price would make this a no go for me.

I felt like Time and Tide (and of course the design of the watch itself) helped me make my decision on the glass box! Just got the Skipper yesterday. Ty Andrew and Marcus ;)

[hendersonshorology]

Sensational video Tom! And what a watch this TAG is, very impressive. Thanks for a great video 🙏🏻

[Distractingdials]

Incredible video my friend. I tried the Glassbox this past week actually and it’s fantastic 🔥

[RedwoodAggie]

I absolutely love these. Great size, great look and from when I tried it on, comfortable on wrist. I love the Skipper version, with my only small complaint being the Skipper word on the subdial. That one I've only seen in photos though. I've tried on the blue and black versions, and these actually feel appropriate for the price they've been charging. Thanks for pointing out the lume as I wasn't aware of that issue. That being said, I don't need a watch like that to be torch-like. Even some lume is enough. I have a chronograph without lume and it's quite annoying, especially since it doesn't have reflective markers and hands like the Carrera. I like the clear case back, but also appreciate that it's automatic, unlike the Speedy (I know why that one is manual). I hope we'll see a silver dial Panda model maybe this year, though I would be torn on which to get. This is definitely one of the top 5 watch releases of 2023 for me.

Brilliant video, Tom. Love to hear honest thoughts about a watch and I honestly feel like this one is one of your watches, if you know what I mean.

[city_escapement]

Great video Tom! Definitely selling me on the Glassbox... "But they could have done worse and positioned the date window in between 4 and 5." - That really cracked me up!

[austenspiars]

Great video! I have the same watch and had been wondering about different strap options but hadn’t seen anyone play with it yet in that way. Thank you for the ideas there!

[emanuelderta]

I don't know how Tag Heuer managed to get this one so perfect and then to screw the Carrera Twin Time so badly!... I have the last one, actually bought it just to help a friend of mine in a delicate moment, but man is bad looking the Twin Time compared to this! Great watch and nice reviews!

[Chowjunbon]

I’ve got the 60th anniversary Carrera limited edition, I couldn’t find any info on the movement also, but mines about +3 secs a day, yes the lume is not the best but I know it’s not a dive watch so I don’t mind so much, the turning on the rotor is a bit noisy but besides these things everything else is great! ❤

[Griffin]

Congratulations man! Awesome piece. I think that uncle straps has a bracelet for it

[watch_girl_life]

I tried this again yesterday and the 42 Porsche version. I wish there was a bracelet. Maybe this year. Such a beautiful watch. The dial is so good. Another great review Tom. Tag is definitely lifting their game again. With a bracelet it would be a definite challenger for the Speedy. The size of the dial is much better than the Moonwatch.

[terryowens]

I have the Tag Carrera love the watch with rubber band. I heard the band is made from the actual tire.

[ummar]

Beautiful Watch, and a great history behind it too, but not my cup of tea I’ll rather go for Speedmaster

[garethchan]

Beautiful piece and awesome review! Going to pick the up the glassbox this weekend! Any idea if the original TAG deployment buckle would fit the Artem loopless strap?

[dultanur]

Wow what a beautiful piece. Will it go on the (admittedly over populated) list? Time will tell. And lay off Zenith :P
