TAG is a luxury brand. I agree. And this model and color is fantastic. I have never owned a TAG. Some of the new models are getting my attention. Especially this one.
Tag heuer is definitly luxury brand. People has problem, with this company. Tag heuer make expensive models, and cheaper line than formula. In my opinion, this watch is cheaper proposition, in oposition to Omega aqua terra 41mm. But , price make deference. Price for this watch is 3000$, for agua terra 7000$. For me choice is easy, only Carrera, but on metal bracelet. Thanks for movie😊.
I chose the older (WAR..) model in blue because the case design is more old school on case sides to lug and the dial is cleaner as the minute track/chapter ring is less conspicuous. The blue is more pure as well, the new one has more black in the blue, causing it to not mesh well with all the white in the chapter ring. Also the bracelet is more refined on the older one. This WBN model is fine but the older one imo is more refined.
Can someone having problem with Tag Heuer explain to me why i shouldn't like this brand? Done a quick research, but didn't come across any reasonable explanation, just gibberish about being bought by oher brand. I mean looking at face value it is a great quality watch, with excellent execution of original design, taken from brands heritage history, with 3rd party highest grade movement, with logo recognizable by non-watch community for its involvement with motorsport.
Man that day/date display kinda sucks, it's too close to the center. Just the date version is much better I think. As always terrific review I love all your content Mr Rob.
Nice review, Thanks , but i am confused, is this 20 or 22 mm lug width. Other websites are saying 20mm while Tag website does not say anything. anyone knows, please let me know,
You would be correct if the only people who bought watches were enthusiasts. Tag Heuer built up so much cache in the 90s with their marketing that normal people call it a Tag for short. Dropping the tag part would make it less appealing to normal people over 30.
I have Carrera calibre 5 almost one year and very satisfied. You can wear it with wide range of outfit from formal suit in office or event, to leisure dress in travel or casual dress on daily basis! And when you wearing it, it really looks and feels like luxury watch. IMHO its almost the best watch you can buy for $2000-3000 price range.
Ok love this watch but i am sorry to say that the price on this watch is not worth it, i have a hamilton jazzmaster bought it brand new for 650$ and it has the same movement 2824-2 as the tag heuer . So why is 3000$ more than my hamilton just the name ? Is still would buy it but not happy about the price , thats why i am going for the rolex op blue dial 2020 model
It is a watch that has more craftsmen working on it and has more design detail. Tag puts more effort into the watch body rather than the movement. A good analogy would be an Audi body with a VW engine.
12 years ago, I first knew tag heuer when I visited a spectacle shop and I was introduced to a Tag Heuer prescription frame with ferrari colors in it. Since then I thought that brand is similar to other high end fashion items but not as a watchmaker. Fast forward 12 years when I started watch collecting, I still think Tag Heuer is an expensive fashion item and this discourages me from buying one.
Great looking Tag Carrera, luv the case & lug design. They have some great folding clasps also. Thanks for sharing Rob!
I own this carrera, black with rose gold. It’s a beautiful piece regardless of the brand. Very well made! Thanks for the review!

Right. Twice the price, but definitely not twice the watch. TH easy choice.
Great review Rob. Love the fact that you can appreciate a watch regardless of the brand identity. Keep up the good work mate!
That’s a gorgeous watch I don’t care what the name is!
What do you mean ? That tag aint a good name ?
@@Thisfutureman why do you say that?
@@Mark-sd7fc i am ASKING IT
Looks very well done! I still like their link style bracelets that ruled the 90s.

TH great brand! Any brands wish they had TH history
This looks a lot like Certina DS-1 chronometer. Especially with the date at 6.
I like the black dial one.
Because the Certina is a Carrera homage....
Thats a good do it all kind of watch. Reasonable price too. Awesome lugs, I really like that about the Carreras.

This reminds me of the Seiko Tuxedo so much!
4:37 agree 100%… it is.
Lug Width of 20.5 .... why Tag?!?!?!?!
Interesting. I have this watch on a steel bracelet and the side of the case is polished instead of brushed.
Beautiful watch
Nice review, Thanks , but i am confused, is this 20 or 22 mm lug width. Other websites are saying 20mm while Tag website does not say anything. anyone knows, please let me know,
Tag's website says 20.50mm
Perfect size for me, nice clean design 👌
If they got rid of Tag and kept the Heuer I think they'd sell a lot more watches. Just like the way they used to be.
Agree. “tag” is a dealbreaker

In 39 perfect, almost for me.
Nice watch at a good price.
Never owned a Tag. Which way should I go if I did?

Aqua racer or the link! Great watch! I have three.
cool piece but you have to be crazy buying tag at retail

@@Art-is-craft nah that does not work for me, for that price longines brings more than a tag movement wise and even the finnishing !!
This is 3400$ not 2900

+/- 12 seconds a day, means this is no fashion brand, it's bone fide Swiss quality watch.
Why buy a tag when I can just buy a seiko 5 ? 😅
Have both of them; Carrera is much better in all terms than Seiko. Just Grand Seiko could be considered as better than Carrera.
Please don't call it TAG. The name's Heuer, which was once a great brand. It's rather like calling a Rolls Royce BMW. Nice watch though Rob. Thanks
This is just OL, not impressive.
