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?

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!

Me three.. It's the brand that got me into collecting watches. I feel they've had a lot of unwarranted criticism in recent years. Glad to see they're starting to get recognition once again. I personally like this new itteration of the Aqaracer and if I wasn't as deep into collecting I would seriously consider it as a one and done.

Same here, saw my cousin’s Tag Heuer in the early 90s and wanted to have one! Finally got my first when I turned 30… a Formula 1 Alarm Quartz. I’ve since gotten an Aquaracer and a Carrera Calibre 5. Hope to get the Monaco Calibre 11 soon!

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.

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❤

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 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.

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.

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!

I'm an Aquaracer owner since 2011 when it was gifted to me as an engagement gift from my in-laws. It's been an awesome everyday watch and was my first mechanical watch. I've only ever took it off to change to tide watches when surfing but I've ended up going back to it more often then not. I've serviced it once in 2023 and it's always kept great time. Works great on a Nato and Silcone straps. I just recently got my second mechanical watch a Sinn 556, I thought I'd put the Aquaracer away because its become sentimental over the years. But no, I find myself surprised that I'm switching between the two watches and enjoying both!

I have worn Tag H since the 80's. The first one I bought was the plastic Formula One. I still remember seeing it in GQ magazine in a glass of water. Several stacked up in the water filled glass. I thought it was really cool and a great looking watch. The next was a Professional diver in 1994. I will never forget the feeling of wearing that out of the jewelers. I loved it. I have had several since, the new F1 redesign, a few of the Professional series and finally the Aquaracer, black face and get this, quartz battery operated. Not one of those watches since the 80's has failed. I have probably owned more battery operated Tags, then movement watches. Those watches are great value for the money, and even better on the gray market where it makes sense to buy them at a45% discount.

The aquaracer I like the most is the 300 GMT blue & white with yellow hands (WBP2010.BA0632) on the optional blue & yellow NATO. It looks fresh and the price is very decent for a 300 meters GMT diver of a reputable name brand. Of course, some microbrands are still cheaper but a GMT Master is 3 times more expensive (better power reserve but average water resistance)

I agree with Teddy, Tag Heuer was my gateway to watches. My Dad had a rack of Heuer stopwatches that he took with him and my Mom when they went out doing automobile road rallies in the 60&70s. That was one of the reasons that my first watch purchase with my very own money was a Tag Heuer 1500 in 1994. My college graduation gift to myself. This model is also known as the “Obama” watch as he wore one while campaigning. Not the reason I bought it but some interesting trivia nonetheless. Still have the watch and wear it often. Right size and sentimental.

The last generation 300m Aquaracer was on my list and closely lost out to the Carrera Calibre 5 that I needed up with, something I don’t regret, I tried on the latest Aquaracer a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised, a beautiful piece that felt solid and the clasp is next level for easy adjustability. Looking more to a chronograph though as that is what Heuer is renowned for and Aquaracer just has never been given the diving chronograph that Omega would pull off. Still I will have one in my collection at some point for sure

I bought a mechanical Aquaracer 200. I got the Black Monster that I had been wearing until then. I thought that the carrier bag was really interesting. The box was heavy lol Since the black monster's nighttime glow has weakened, I was looking into Aquaracer in search of a companion that I could use all the time. At first, I was planning to buy 300 in blue, but the store only had black. 200 was available in both mechanical and quartz models, so I instinctively went for the blue mechanical model. Since solar captures sunlight, the color is different. As a result, I purchased a 200 automatic. I'm very satisfied

I own the green dial. It’s one of 10 in my collection. It coexists with watches that are currently unobtainable at MSRP and it does absolutely fine! The green dial is BEAUTIFUL, the case is nicely finished and wears like a dream. The clasp is OK for the price - At its price, I think it is great value! I live in a country where these are highly sought after and even though I have a higher chance of having this stolen off my wrist than the more expensive but under the radar Exp I i do enjoy wearing it! The bracelet is a pain in the ass to size but who cares. If you’re on the fence, buy it.

When I was a kid I saved up all my money and bought a Tag Heuer 2000 professional. Wore that watch for like 20 years, was a one watch guy. When I got engaged I bought myself an Aquaracer as sort of a replacement, wore it on my wedding day. But to be honest I’ve rarely worn it since. It’s nice enough but for some reason it doesn’t do for me what the old 2000 does. Most days I find myself reaching for a custom Sellita mod, which for an intangible reason seems to scratch the same itch as my trusty old 2000.

Don't forget that your long-term maintenance costs will be considerably higher and waiting time considerably longer for a Tudor as you will likely have to send it to Switzerland for service and repair.

My late dad's greatest achievement was purchasing a Tag Heuer 6000 series with two-tone gold plating. Since then, it was my obsession to be able to afford one. In 2004 I managed to save enough to buy Tag Heuer Kirium, which I was proud of. But unfortunately someone stole it. I felt so disappointed that it took me 6 years to get another Tag to replace it: Formula 1 to celebrate a change of career. Now I have Grand Seikos and Omegas, but the Tag 6000 and Formula 1 remain in my watch box as a reminder of how it all began. Thinking to get a Monaco though wkwk.

Part of the price difference is the move to mechanical instead of quartz movement; part is the general industry shift towards "luxury" since watches are no longer a utilitarian purchase, now that we all have phones and smart watches to tell us the time.

@@waffle911 A Sellita SW200 bought in bulk should cost about 50 bucks more than a good quartz, in a watch priced like this the difference is negligible.

@@giusepperocchi2979 As we see in the price difference beteen the Quartz and Powermatic PRX, a manufacturer isn't just going to pass along the cost difference of the movement without additional margin on top, as well as additional "improvements" that drive up the retail price further. They also didn't say how long ago they purchased their Aquaracer, or if they received any discounts. It's likely not a completely fair comparison to pitch their particular example against a current one in today's market. A Quartz Aquaracer today has an RRP starting at $2,150, and the Calibre 5 starts at $2,850 (not that these are necessarily the prices you'd actually pay). The Calibre 5 isn't a straight-up SW200, either; it's going to be equivalent to a customized Elabore or Top grade with "Refined" finishing or better. Now, I don't actually know how much more it would be to source a Calibre 5 over whatever quartz movement is currently offered in the Aquaracer, but it could well be much more than a $50 cost difference, while also obviously not being the full $700 premium.

This is a great TAG Heuer and love that blue dial. I like the bezel being brushed but wish it had minute markers that go to 15 and the bezel had lumed numbers or at least a lumed pip at the 12 o’clock. Still excellent piece TAG Heuer!

I own a quite solid collection now and , apart from the brand and his bad connotation I can read everywhere, the titanium solar quartz version of the aqua racer could be one option in my wishing list (for my golf sessions), i could go also for an second hand steel Aqua terra quartz or a brand new grand seiko 9F “snowflake”. I will see the opportunités to have them ;)

I enjoy the channel, but it'd be nice if the weight of the watch could also be listed in the specs, if available. If this is part of the subjective observations that Teddy makes when he says a particular watch "wears like a" smaller or larger watch, then I suppose I understand.

Absolutely a gateway for me. I have an F1 quartz. I know kinda expensive for quartz but the dial, bezel, the weight on my wrist and the bracelet feel and look largely better than most watches I’ve been looking to add up to $2000 & a bit higher.

Wait what!? the Lume is like my favorite part of my aquaracer 200, it’s better than my Longines and my omega. It’s the only watch I have on par with my seiko’s. I’m guessing either my Longines or my omega are bad or I just got a really good example of the TAG, idk. But I’m not blind.

There aren't that many watch brands that are recognized by the masses. Tag Heuer is one of the few. It's also one of the few watch brands that convey a sense of status while still being casual enough to wear every day. I've worked in sales most of my life and I've had more than one boss in my early days tell me to buy a nice pair of shoes and get a proper watch. In those days a proper watch meant a Rolex, Tag, Longines, or High end Seiko. It would depend on the market you're in. The understanding that Tag Heuer means quality still exists today. It's just not as interesting to watch enthusiasts which really represent a tiny fraction of the actual buyers.

A very nice looking watch that I own; but the movement does not satisfy. First the power reserve is not adequate especially if you wearing different watches from your collection every other day. Second, while you are winding and setting the watch always it feels you like it will fail somewhere or someday. It should be a lot more cheaper considering these movement issues. However the outlook of the watch is excellent, nothing to say about that...
