TAG Heuer Aquaracer 200 Professional Solargraph

Wow. I went to a Tag boutique only to look at a few. Wanted to see the Night Driver in the flesh even though I knew I couldn't afford it! Sat down with the associate for a chat and a look at a couple of pieces, before I knew it I was taking the Solargraph and having the strap sized! ๐Ÿ˜‚ The lume on this is possibly the best lume I have ever seen on a watch! You have to use a UV torch to get the luminous material in the bezel to shine, but when it does ๐Ÿ‘Œ The lume generally is great, normal daylight and it glows beautifully. Then there is the actual movement. Yeah I suppose a Citizen Eco Drive isn't really an in house movement, but with TAG using a base of ETA then you could say they are expensive Swatch watches anyway! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Still this is my second favourite watch!

Really nice watch. Luming the background of the bezel was unnecessary in my opinion but anyway... its a good looking watch and i like the all black version.

Looks great on that strap. Was this the Tag stock strap that came with the watch?

Yes it's unmodded. The rubber strap is surprisingly comfortable. To be honest so are the other TAG rubber straps. I like the GMT Pro that has on the fly. Only thing that's missing from the 200's for me.

Funny it was the lume that attracted me to it even more! One man's meat is another's poison I suppose! ๐Ÿ‘

I'll be frank, I'm not a great lover of Tag watches but I do really like the look of this particular Aquaracer. A very cool looking watch ๐Ÿ‘

I love this watch. The Aquaracer line are my favourite divers and this one is fantastic. ๐Ÿ‘

Great watch! I deliberated between this and the titanium version, ended up with the latter but the carbon is always on my mind.

Now, funny thing is I had both on the wrist at the boutique..... Went with the black as the lume and strap was comfortable. Not that the Ti wasn't, it's just I found the 43mm light, this was just a little too light for me with a metal feeling. Still an awesome watch and really did find it hard to choose!

Congrats to you! I share a very similar story. I went to my AD to look at the Night Diver as well! But after trying on the Solargraph, I was sold! Great Aquaracer!!!

Looks great! I honestly think that Tag is poised to make a come back in the heart of enthusiasts. Their latest skipper chrono looks so much fun!

I love the skipper!

For me they are an affordable brand that most of the public think is a premium luxury brand.

So when someone asks what watch you are wearing, saying a tag gives a better response than others at the same pricepoint....Maybe that's me being a watch snob! PS - I also have Timex watches, so not really that much of a snob! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Awesome watch man ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Good stuff, a brand that gets a lot of undeserved hate, I rate Tag

To be fair, I have been treated well in all the TAG boutiques I have visited, where others I am often ignored. Being a big Motorsport fan I find I have a great connection to the brand, and this won't be my last TAG Heuer watch! ๐Ÿ‘

Definitely love the motorsport link, one of the big draws for me too

ยท

Love that! Been waiting since launch to see these on the pre-owned forums, and just saw the first one this past week...

Iโ€™ve had the titanium - itโ€™s a great watch

Yeah was a tough call between the two for me. Although I like their titanium, the smaller piece just was a little too light for a metal bracelet for me. The main swing was the lume on the bezel. Plus I love a bit of forged Carbon! ๐Ÿ˜‚

ยท

Killer lume and bezel, how long did it last?

The forged Carbon luminous green in the bezel goes first, but the numbers remain for a while. So does the indices and hands. The second hand is lovely in ice blue! ๐Ÿ‘

Oh my god that lumed bezel is incredible. Such a cool watch

ยท

Nice tag

ยท

#tagheuer perfect everyday watch

ยท

That is a funky #lume on the bezel ๐Ÿ”ฅ

ยท

That lume is insane, have never seen anything quite like that on the bezel. Wish my old Tag can lume as bright as it used to! Congrats ๐Ÿค™๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽ‰

ยท

Nice watch, nice lume i love Tag Heuer

Almost the exact same story here mate, when to look at the night diver came out with a regular black dial 2023 aquaracer on rubber. Must be a tag heuer customer service thing

The brand is just perfect for me and as you say the staff all seem good!

Also note that the rubber strap uses a deployant clasp with a quick adjustment feature. No tools required ๐Ÿ‘Œ

No not on the 200 Pro's. Only 300's have the on the fly. It has micro adjustment and a divers extension which is hidden behind the clasp
