 Couldn't be Happier with this watch
By Gilbert Benavides
I'm by no means a watch expert but I did think long and hard with regards to the probability of buying an Omega vs TAG vs anything else. When all was done, I opted for the sportiness yet elegance of this TAG he decision came down to Grand Carrera or Carrera Day Date. I chose the Day Date and made a outstanding choice. I get compliments on it all of the time. The size of the monstrosity took a little getting applied to peculiarly the height of the watch at 16.5mm. My business collaborator went with the Omega Planet Ocean -- Although also a outstanding watch. I plainly like the aesthetics of this watch. One last thing - it's the one of the only TAGs, if not the only TAG that genuinely has both the DAY and DATE displayed. Amazing detail. 5 of 5 humans found the following review helpful.
Exceptional
By Michael Railing
I have had this watch for almost 6 months now, and it hasn't let me down. Part of owning an Automatic watch is the need to wear it daily, or leave it on a winder. I wear the watch daily, only choosing to wear one of my other watches when working in the garage, yard, or doing household renovations as to not break the crystal or harm the watch more than each and everyday wear. The pictures and videos of this watch do not do it justice, it is far better in person, and I would suggest before purchasing, go to a local retailer and check out the watch, see it on your wrist, and make sure the size fits you well. It isn't cheap and if you aren't happy with it, then you will have to know before you buy.
I have big wrists, and the big face, and thickness of the main body fits my wrist and body style well. This is my second Tag, my basi being a Link Calibre S, and to tell you the truth, with this Carrera on my arm, I haven't had a desire to wear any other watch, including my Link. This looks sporty, yet dressy sufficient to wear with a suit, though the thickness of the far does/can interfere with a button sleeve if you don't have a lot of space among your wrist and the sleeve. Typically I wear my Movado with a suit because of the thin case/face, luckily, I don't wear a suit very often.
I purchased directly from Amazon and altho they aren't an authorized dealer, they do offer their own warranty. I haven't had a single issue with mine, and I closely inspected it when I received it for imperfections, but everything was flawless. I do gain with regards to 30 seconds a day, but I have been playing with placement of the watch when I sleep, as crown up, crown down, face up, face down, in a winder, etc, all may advance or subtract from the time on the watch. You may also have a watch shop adjust the time on the watch by opening it and moving a little lever in the watch to cause it to advance or retard the time. I prefer to adjust the time once a week, but I am starting to experiment with nightly positions that will keep it to a more precise time. Up till now, I have left it sitting face up at night.
Also be prepared to send the watch in for service each 5 or so years, and could require a full rebuild within 20 years. This is an investment piece, and all automatic watches will require such a service schedule to stay to the full or entire extent functional. This is an heirloom piece that taken care of, even with daily wear, could be passed on or sold in the future.
This is a Chronograph watch, so it is design style is used for "racing" with it's stopwatch, and speed tachymetre around the bezel may give you both time and speed for a given time over a mile. This is why there are numbers on the outside bezel of the watch, if you time something over a mile, and it's 15 seconds, that vehicle is traveling 240 MPH. 60 seconds = 60 MPH. The big "second hand" on the watch is used for the Chronograph, with a littler second hand at the 9' position being applied for the watches second hand. There are numerous people that don't perceive this, and if you in truth want the big hand to be your second hand, you could begin the Chronograph and just let it run. There is a day and date at the 3' position, big sufficient to without apparent effort see, without the need for a reading bubble on the watch. The Chronograph minute counter is located at the 12' position, and the hour counter is located at the 6' position. After stopping the chronograph, pressing the reset button "snaps" the time reset so you may quickly time another vehicle/person.
The case back is clear crystal, so you may see the inner workings, though I have read that they are altering this to a solid back for future models, but I can't verify this. With the clear back it's easy to tell a real from a fake.
This is the Calibre 16 movement, and with numerous exploration is a good movement, and must last a long time. It is very precise when set correctly, and when I send it in for service in in regards to 4 years, portion of that is to adjust the time.
I plan on keeping this watch for a very long time, and will in all probability end up retail the other respective Tissot, Citizen, and perchance even my Link that are in my collection. I genuinely have no desire to wear any of them after having this watch. If I could trade them all, I might even buy the white face of this watch for a dissimilar look.
