TAG Heuer Women's WAF1412.BA0823 Aquaracer Ladies Watch


I purchased this watch 4 weeks ago and was very happy with the quick postage , packaging and the watch itself. However, after only 2 weeks , when I attempted to change the date ( it was 12hrs out) the winder ( crown) just snapped off. I contacted Amazon as it within 30 days but due to the fact that I had worn the watch ( I had to get it resized too) , I was not eligible for a refund. The crown is not considered part of the watch movement either so it was not covered by the Amazon warranty. I have had to get it privately repaired for close to $200. Very disappointed with this Tag. Previously owned a Longines for 15yrs without any hassles.

I don't recommend this watch. I haven't had the watch for a year and it turns my wrist black after wearing it for a day. If I understand correctly it's only coated in stainless steel, once it wears off there is nickel in the wristband that reacts with my skin. Very disappointing after you spend this much on a watch. I expected more from Tag Heuer.

I bought this watch for my wife as an second year anniversary gift. It is an excellent watch. The fact that the TAG HEUER brand is printed in green and red makes it even look better. My wife says that she can wear this watch with either fancy dresses or with casuals. I strongly recommend it!

TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
