Great review. Looks like a really nice watch for sure. A well built quartz is always nice to have.
the movement is not good as longines vhp
Had my tag exact same one for nearly nearly 10 years i think. Worn very often over the years even 1.5 years travelling Asia. Can honestly say still looks relatively new. Love the piece very robust design
I bought a blue quartz formula one and I love it! Never have to worry about anything with it and it always looks good.
I never truly appreciated/understood AR coating until that demonstration. Great review as always.
This is a solid piece. Nothing horilogically advanced here in terms of movement, but still a top 10 quartz watch. Rugged, accurate and with a retro chic vibe.
the movement is really cheap. Longines vhp works better.
@@jjodise You are a bullshit sir
Just got gifted this watch for my graduation from college tonight (3 Chrono version, also excuse my terminology as I am not a watch person) and I have to say, this video put it all on the table for me so I really appreciate this review. Also, you talked quickly (positive for me) without repeating anything you are saying. Very effective at getting crucial information to your audience without beating around the bush which is rare on this website. Love this and I have subscribed. Thank you for educating me on my new beautiful watch! Can't wait to watch more and learn about these amazing products!
Nick, Really enjoy your channel. Not parroting stupid, watch-snob cr@p is a refreshing difference from other channels. A very fair review and best review of a TAG watch I've seen yet. I own a number of Swiss watches, but my F1 quartz is my EDC because it is tough and accurate. I know it's not perfect, but I consider it fairly priced, and I can be fearless with it because I didn't have to pay for it with gold bullion. Impressed you captured my experience with the F1 even though you've only handled it a short while.
I have a Tag Link quartz. It finds it’s way onto my wrist most often. Great solid quartz watches for everyday wear. You can feel the difference between a low end Tag and a high end Citizen, Oris, or Hamilton. People hate on Tag, usually they have never worn one.
People who hate on tag probably wear a Chinese Seiko or a Casio worth 15 dollArs
You nailed it. I just received this as a graduation gift. I couldn't be happier it's sporty businessie and casual
Enjoyed your very informative review, Nick. I bought this exact same Tag Heuer F1 watch over this past weekend. It’s just as you described. It’s a great watch. Thanks!
The clasp has been upgraded! I just received my WAZ1112 which I purchased direct from T/H and I'm happy to report that they have upgraded the clasp "blades" to a much more robust and attractive brushed stainless steel. One "nests" inside the other, very much like the Breitling's (minus the easy adjustability). You can't tell from the photos at the T/H site but it is definitely much nicer than the one I've seen in all the reviews from the past couple of years. I'm very happy with my new watch! If you purchase from a retailer be sure to ask if it has the newer-style clasp.
Hey Nick, I just wanted to say thanks for being a good part of my life. You bring a lot of joy and happiness to me.
You're welcome!
Nicely put and I agree fully
Great fair review Nick, I had a 1500 series diver in 1991, wore it for years, totally reliable daily wear.
Great watch. Literally just bought one yesterday!
By the way the operation of the uni directional bezel works like this: you move the arrow (tag logo) to where your minute hand currently is, and then the bezel will indicate to you the position of 15,30,45 minutes will be from the logo (your current time) etc. Like a timer.
It’s the branding ... the advertising... the sponsors... all good to keep the brand alive and aware to all. Tom Brady is not an ambassador for Casio ... just saying. I like Citizen for this but I do like Tag designs and not sure why so much hate. What kills me is the snobs who rag on tag and seiko then drive Japanese cars and buy Dept store clothes. It’s as if the watch elevated everything... but then they do everything else normally.
The ones hating on tag are probably wearing made in China watches ....
Casio Oceanus is such a beautiful watch and the blue accents are a great touch. I'm glad you made me buy one.
Just bought this watch online after watching your video it's looks nice
I just got my tag f1 yesterday. I absolutely love it. Clean simple style. I use the dive Bessel for lunch and brakes. Even to time my shop guys for their brakes lol. And the glow IS INSANE BRIGHT. I like it a lot. I got this one for like $700.
funny, like a pit stop.
$770? where :)
Great review! Very entertaining and informative... best one I've seen on this line of watches.
Nice review. That formula one came out a few years ago. I have the most recent one. It has a black titanium bezel but everything else is the same. It is a great watch. And I bought the quartz version on purpose. You just can't beat quartz. Especially because I work around magnets. Glad I watched this because now I know it has a race suit extension. Thanks for making this video!
Sorry I stand corrected. They sell this one too. One has a metal bezel and mine has a titanium one. :)✌️
I also love quartz for everyday work
I like automatic watches but I get tired of setting the time and month every time I don't wear it for some time and want to wear again, so I am interested in quartz and Tag Heuer. Thank you for the review. Very good review.
Thanks for the honest opinion and for keeping it funny and real! Rock on!
nicks always great at reviews! Ha! The Tag I am wanting to get next to my favorite quartz the oceanus! Which is the watch that got me into collecting because of this channel! your the best Nick!
This guy is a great sales person, this much talk on a watch? I am sure the manufacturer of the watch won't even say this much about the watch.
Thanks for your review man, it helps
Nick, i love your watch-reviews. I'm curious what you think about some of the seikos in the midrange, especially SBDC051 and the tuna (sbbn031). I love watches, but i've found myself loving quartz much more than mechanical when actually using them. Especially if i own a few in rotation, it makes it annoying to constantly keep them running.
My favorite quartz reviewed here is still the Oceanus. Something about that watch.
Once saw this airport worker talking with his colleague. He was showing them his tag and explaining how happy he was with it. Tag is an achievable luxury, you get a good quality durable Swiss watch with heritage for a very honest price. The formula 1 is a little working class jewel. ❤
Thats it exactly. Well put
got my F1 with the rubber strap as it was a gift and i love it. My dad has worn Tag's his entire life and I always wanted one and it is a fantastic watch. Put a NATO ( Bond ) strap on it and it make it so much better. The watch gets hate but they are lovely pieces, especially the higher end ones
I had the automatic version of that one. Sold it though since I was never really wearing it but I did like it a lot. I did also own the Aquaracer in Blue. Actually the Quartz version and that one I am really missing so I think that one has to be re-aquired.
Ha Ha I have it
Very much thank you Mr. Nick for sharing.
I received this watch for Christmas in 2018. I love it
I just like the look of the Formula 1. Out of my range but just a nice clean look. I have a thing for the Tag 12 font, very sharp.
Thanks for the great review, beautiful watch and Agreed both quartz and automatic have their place.
Nice presentation touch using the cloth to hold the watch up. Have I just never noticed this before?
Gr8 video didn't know about the extension now my tag fits me perfect.. thanx from 🇦🇺
Oh no, I was doing so well resisting getting into watches, and now you have me wanting a watch I never would have considered. I gotta go call my Watchaholics Anonymous sponsor!
I bought the Tag Professional diver, about 14 years ago. Lums have faded, but still works great, about 1 second in 6 months. Only thing I have done is replace the batt every two years! But it was to expensive at 2 grand...(I paid $1400), still to high!
UGWC member here, getting more and more into Nicks's channel as he has now got the bug :D
Excellent review, you helped me a great deal with my purchase.
Beautiful. Great analysis of the price.
Thanks for the really helpful review! Im new to the luxury watch market and I’m in the market for an “every day” watch. This looks like a top contender!
If retail price is not advisable for a new watch, what should I expect to pay?
Well done Nick!
This is a great great review!
Thanks
Nick, do you prefer it over the oceanus?
I have a Formula 1 Calibre 5, automatic and I love it. Didn't know they had quartz
I didn’t know marty Scorsese done watch reviews 😂 great video by the way 👍🏻
Great job,thank you!
I'm trying to buy a watch and right away you're gettin' f'n fresh
Is the second hand perfectly aligned with the dial markers?
Nick, have you ever considered taking a look at some American watch brands like Lum-tec or NFW?
Love this watch
hey nick. plan to take a look and Review besttech imp or goblin?
You would think that in the very near future they will add the racheting adjustments to the band.
Haha you sound like Duffy Duck. That makes it so entertaining to watch ;) thumbs up, also nice watch :)
New York
I don't know why, but this is the first watch you've reviewed where I thought, "I could get into watches." But this is $1000 more than I'd ever spend on a watch when, in my industry, watches are a safety hazard.
I have a small number of watches, and one is a Tag very similar to this, and I like it very much. I’ve had it around 20 years and £70 for a battery and seal every 18 months is a pain, but rather cheaper and more accurate than my mechanicals. The only failing with mine is that it has a white face. Silver hands on a white face can be difficult to see, the one here solves that. As you say, it’s an affordable luxury watch.... especially as mine was 300 odd quid 20 years ago, but over a grand today!
As soon as you said parallax I subscribed.
Really torn between the automatic version of this one and the batman Calibre 7 GMT. I like the look of the batman more, but am worried the bezel would scratch easily... What is you guys' opinion on aluminum bezels?
not good, get an aquaracer with ceramic.
I got the Batman Calibre 7 GMT recently and the bezel Is resilient enough. I have another Tag with aluminium bezel for a year & it has no scratches.
Definitely the funniest reviewer of all the reviewers across UA-cam. I actually watched your video first before ordering mine F1 and exactly this model. Thanks for the review and would love to see more of your watch reviews. My next thing on the grocery list is Longines L26734783. Hopefully, you'd make a review of that as well.
Have you checked out the Fortis watches? I think make great bang for the buck watch around this same price point.
Thanks for keeping it real amongst all the hate.
This isnt really about watches but heres a topic im very oblivious about. My 940-2 has a weak "detent" and sort-of freedrop action. it wont open in my pocket but is still concerning because it opens without touching the blade at all just from shaking the knife. i have 2 extra omega springs but i would rather not take it apart because:
1. i suck at using the right amount of threadlocker
2. i dont want to waste springs which will help in the future since i still have life left in the springs.
i just want to know if this is normal and what i should do
Amplest you shouldn’t be able to shake a knife open. Try tightening down the pivot screws slightly. It’s a balancing act. Keeping a drop-shut action while avoiding a weak detent or blade play
I've never found Heuer models very compelling with the exception of the Monaco. Still, a very nice watch and appreciate the look!
The Monaco’s are my favourite watches, but at £4,500 for the one I like, maybe not this week!
really nice
Note tag quartz is on their lower scale.
Automatic is where it is at with Tag's
Hey Nick!! I’m looking for some suggestions. I’m in the market for my first good watch I have very small wrists so want something with a smaller face. And would like something that doesn’t have a metal bracelet !! I’m looking to spend no more then $300.00. And no g-shocks!!
Citizen will likely have something that suits you well.
Get a power ranger watch
I really like this; would buy it if it had a simple automatic movement in it.
Help! Should I buy a new one of these or a used Aquaracer?!
I'm a racing driver and the fire suit extension is fantastic. Don't laugh. Yes, a few of us actually use it.
Whats the weight of this watch? Someone said its around 300grams which is a beast!
Is it worth to buy?
Such a coincidence that you upload a watch review the day i got my g-shock back from repair!
Beatifull watches Swiss made watch quarz automatic the best king patex philippe vacheron constantin Rolex good video
Also to be honest tag is on top 10 most recognized brands and in 2020 report it’s number 18 most valuable Swiss brand below Rolex in number 4 and omega in number 11 and way above longines and Hamilton
Hello, I accidentally change my date at almost 1 AM just after the date was changed while I was adjusting the time because of the DST. 😟 I even turned the date a few more times before realizing it. Will it damage it right away? 🥺 Maybe I should have just turn the time counterclockwise instead, is that safe?
If you replace the battery is all Water Resistance shot to hell?
If only they made a version of this watch that was 36 or 38mm. 41mm is just way too big for my tiny wrist!
Do you know the exact type of Quartz movement in it?
thiscocks why does it matter
Nice, but no AR on the glass is crazy.
Not a big deal to me but i can see why it is for some people
Like CRAZY
"mechanical purists go suck an egg" LOL! 🤣 They buy watches to keep at home in the box, because they don't have anywhere to go!
Yup
I have this watch. The face is nice. The bracelet is cheap compared to other less expensive Swiss watches like Longines or Hamilton or even Seiko. So far it been losing about 15 seconds a month
Have you got the Automatic or the Quartz version? thanks
@@Jack-tp5ji The quartz. I have the watch a about a year now and it keeps good time now.
Tag alone with a Tag Heuer....nice.
If you're gonna go Quartz, you might as well stick with Japanese. That Breitling is a rare exception to that rule, because it's a pretty nice movement. But you can get more accurate stuff from Citizen for a LOT less! Radio controlled and GPS watches are just unbeatable for accuracy.
Beautiful watch. Not cheap
Ever had a Seiko Monster?
Why this one has the old logo?
I bought a Seiko Prospex and Macy's couldn't adjust the bracelet. So, I returned it.
Somebody please tell me the weight of this watch.Thanks
Let's see some Seiko Presage or Grand Seiko in your future reviews!
Amazingly this watch is about $900 now. They also list it now as 43mm?
Seiko Samurai review?
Soon!
Wow. This looks like a decent $500 watch. At $1200, not even close to competitive for me. Can't imagine not getting those features in this price range.
Andy Richardson I think the Oceanus is every bit as nice as this at a much much better price point.
It's quaitz.... Ged ouda heeee!
I don't know why this brand is hated so much. ALL watches are overpriced. I really like my Carrera even with its "generic" movement. Great watches.
I don't like them because I feel like they are trying but failing to be a luxury brand. I can't help but think that people who buy them just can't afford an Omega, or aren't interesting enough to buy a micro brand or Japanese watch. They just want middle of the road watches that cost too much money rather than committing to the hobby and going all out. It's noncommittal.
Peter D and a piece of gold does absolutely nothing, but people value it. It doesn’t matter it’s usefulness, it’s matters how much people value it.
TheStig ZeroZeroZero you wanker lol
scdevon watch snobs are Dickheads
aMongoloid idk why I’m replying to a 9 month old comment but gold has amazing uses in technology
Tissot is amazing. The fit and finish on my Gentleman is beautiful and gets a lot of compliments. As for Longines, I would rate them as excellent and a better finished watch than this particular one having a cheap pressed clasp.
Longines is amazing and Tissot is just ok.
@@ammh2501 totally agree, I own both brands and the Longines is next level
23 minutes and you didn't even bother to pop it in the wrist?!
in all fairness when you compare the japanese movement to the swiss ones well i rather get my brain hurt by radiation from the radio thing movement
The same eta quartz movement can be found on 200 dollar tissot pr100. There is a reason tag heuer is hated
That price is just ridiculous. For that kind of money I can buy a Samurai (and I did) and with the money left over I can buy a titanium Steinhart.
Yes better watches, But no prestige
