What a great watch. I could not find it for under $2,600 anywhere else. I had to adjust the band size for $35, but the watch weight and look is excellent. I also love the fact that the back is a see thru! If you take it off more than 12 hours you will have to re-adjust the time, but who cares, it beats changing the battery every 3 years and having the watch opened!!
It came with Amazon 2 year warranty not TAG’s warranty, but I was able to register the watch on TAGHeuer.com.
A great time piece… buy it!

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING THIS WATCH, THIS REVIEW IS FOR YOU.
IF YOU ALREADY BOUGHT THIS WATCH, YOU ARE GOING TO MARK MY REVIEW AS “NOT HELPFUL” AND THEN PROBABLY LEAVE NASTY COMMENTS. But, you would be right. If already bought this watch, then it is too late and this review will not be helpful for you.
To calibrate: I am big boned, fairly athletic and lift weights (but am not in perfect shape). My wrists are probably bigger than normal. I cannot wrap my hand around my wrist and touch my finger thumb. Wearing this watch, I found it to be clunky, heavy and very uncomfortable. The clasps dig into my skin and the band clunks against my wrist bone.
It comes with the watchband much larger than my wrist. I had to have it resized by taking out 1 link. The nice thing about this watch, is after you take out the links, there is still a finer adjustment to get it to fit perfectly. So, now it is just perfect, not too tight or too loose.
So, with the watch fitting perfectly, it hurts my wrist. It is a relief when I take it off at the end of the day. I always have marks on the inside of my wrist from the clasp. The watchband used to pull on my arm hair, but now most of it has been pulled out, so that is not much of a problem anymore. The worst part is that the band bangs up against my wrist bones, especially when I am typing.
I do get used it after awhile, but my wrist still gets sore if I wear the watch all day. If you have skinny wrists, small bones and are not hairy like an ape, maybe it won’t be so bad for you.
I got the watch as anniversary gift from my company. I wear it because I am just as vain as the next guy. I like to show off that I have a watch that cost more than $1000.
But, make no mistake, this is a status symbol. It is for people with money to burn, or people who are foolish with there money (those people who buy this with a credit card and are still paying it off years later). For a tenth of the price, you can buy a watch that:
+keeps better time
+has more functions
+is more comfortable
+looks better…well that’s a matter of opinion
-doesn’t have the status symbol name
Before you buy this, you really should go to a store and try it on. The only problem is that the band will not be fitted for you and you don’t know how it will really feel.
I know I will get some nasty comments left. No one wants to see a bad review for something that cost them over $1000.
