What the internet says vs. what I actually think.

The internet tells me that Tag sucks and I should stay away from their stuff. But GOD-DAMNED tell me this thing doesn't look outrageously good. 🤷🏻

edit. This is NOT My watch. Aspirations only!

Tag doesn’t suck… they did…but they have pulled it back 😬👍🏼

·

If you like it what the internet says is irrelevant 👍 I don't have any TAG watches but that model is really unusual & therefore it's something that appeals to me a lot.

·

“They” said on the internet. If you can’t trust “them” on the internet, who can you trust.

·

I've had some ex's that looked outrageously good but I should have stayed away from there stuff.

So maybe the interwebs are right 🤷‍♀

·

Getting a tag this coming spring.

·

It does look really good!! Wish I could find one I would buy it and I’m not a Tag fan / guy.

·

I love the orange Aquaracer

·

I’ve always liked Tag, it’s why I got this one.

That’s really pretty. As long as you like it, and know what it is, and feel it’s worth the price, then even if the internet is “right,” it doesn’t matter.

·

Since you asked the question about "they" on the internet, is this an implicit question about expected resale value? (Otherwise it wouldn't matter what "they" think.)

·

"They" told me the same about Vostok. All my Vostoks have been great. Take anything "They" say with a large grain of salt till you find out for yourself.

Oooh shit, 💥💥💥 googling right now. Best tag I have seen in along time.

·

Tag has had a rough go in some of their releases but they definitely don’t “suck”. Every brand has models that don’t paint their brand in the best light. I’m just waiting for a 40mm-ish Carrera😁

·

Agreed! The silver lining is that I’m now experiencing Tag as if they’re a new brand and loving it. They’re doing some great things these days. I’m wanting this Carrera quite badly now.

💯

Tag make good watches for an ultra premium price. Think Tissot quality for Rolex prices.

·

As someone who owns a Carrera and an Aquaracer, I wouldn’t say Tag “sucks”, but for its current price bracket it’s not providing good value for money; the finishing, movement, bracelet, all have elements that reduces that luxury feel. I really think they can do better.

·

Nothing wrong with TAG, purchase what you like..dont even concern yourself with out folks opinion ...Enjoy the hobby

·

I agree with the sentiment that Tag lost their way for a while. I like the new Aquaracer GMT a lot!

·

I had a very similar looking watch to this. I bought it in the late 80s. I believe it was a Tag Heuer 1000. It had a blue dial. I wish I still had it. Not only was it the most beautiful watch I ever owned, it may just have been the most beautiful thing I ever owned.

That's really nice!🔥 For those searching, WAY208E.FC8222

Cheers glassbox twin! How accurate has yours been running? This is such a well regulated movement. 🥰

It’s so accurate that I don’t bother checking. I don’t have an exact number. Close to zero seconds a day.

Love it! Mines around +1 per day. Quite a surprise because they didn't mention accuracy anywhere and the sales rep even said up to 60 seconds per week. I was very happy to find out it runs so much better than that.

Sales rep doesn’t sound very informed. Anything in the ball park of COSC is good enough for me, but beyond that is impressive, no doubt.

your're right. But in the end it was better for me to be underwhelmed and end up pleasantly surprised than have real high expectations and be disappointed 😁

What you think always wins. Always.

I was a Tag guy for a long time. Had a Monaco that I just loved! If it speaks to you, that’s what matters.
