It's not brilliant, is it?
I'm 50/50
Having seen it on the flesh I liked it.
Pics make it look crap.
It's massively expensive.

Fugly
I like the colour combination a lot but as a whole it's not for me. Especially not at that price.
Carrera's are daft prices, all of em! Shame really.
Never
save your money, pretty sure citizen do something almost as hideous for about 150 quid.
tag heuer have done nothing right since my quartz bi metal 2000
Inspired by Rotary.
Would go well with a monogrammed blouson Motorsport team jacket and a pair of sno-wash jeans.
I read an article in QP about it. Jean-Claude Biver has brought something of Hublot to Tag Heuer since taking charge.
It's a bit too big and busy for my taste.
18 mnths time it will be onsale at 50% off. £4300 gets you in Rolex/Panerai territory and a nice one at that. To spend that amount on a TAG is madness imo
Looks a bit Richard Mille meets Hublot to me. And I like those 😜!
Would like to see this in the flesh.
Not my cuppa tea.
Heck though, if I'd got the £4300? That do me fine for a good deposit on a B50 which, I know isn't everyone's cuppa tea either.
I like it a lot, but it wouldn't be my first choice for that money
Bleurgh.
Definitely interesting. Just not very nice.
Too busy, too expensive, too big.
Having said that if one likes busy, expensive and big...
... Should get a Navitimer.
I think the designer forgot to stop designing
Pull yourself together, man! Throwing away 430 pounds on a plastic TAG is madness. Put the money aside and spend it on a proper watch when you have saved enough.
No. Save the money and pick up a Seiko 6309 reboot when it becomes available. Ok it is not a chrono but you get the sentiment.
Oh no, no and thrice no.
Definitely not, no!
Surely Hublot will be a bit 'hmmmm' about this as it's basically a cheaper version of the Aero Bang?
Both Hublot and TAG Heuer are owned by LVMH and M. Biver went from Hublot to TAG. Probably all ok'd at some level in the parent company.
Way too busy for me.
Why would you?
I love almost everything about vintage Heuers... and almost nothing about TAG Heuers. How could a company have so completely lost its way? Save for the occasional reissues of classic Heuer designs they haven't produced anything of note in thirty years.
Please don't
G Shock looks for Rolex money,
mmmmm No.
Simply put... butt ugly!
Can imagine a footballer wearing it
Plenty of jo public with a few quid will love it, thats who its aimed at the amount of money the people on here spend with tag wouldnt keep them in sugar for their tea
Everyone (except me it seems) has a witty one line negative comment, but rather than all the WUS style one liners, how about some considered criticism?
Saying simply "bleurgh" or "my eyes!" is what the other watch forums are for.
Not a watch I would add to my collection, just seems an over complicated face. If I was buying a Tag Heuer then a Monaco would be my choice. But then again we are all individuals and if it floats your boat go for it.
It looks like a £20 kids watch. I wouldn't wear it if it was free.
At least you won't get fakes of it, no one would want to waste £30 on a watch that ugly??? And who would want to make more of anything that ugly anyway :? That said the original looks like a badly considered knock off, a cheap Argos beater with a Tag sticker on the dial.
Looks like a Casio not for me thanks, plenty out there for that kind of money that look more pleasing to the eye.
Big Hublot influence there. This is obviously aimed at people who can't stretch to a Mille or a Big Bang but are satisfied with a recognisable name on their wrist. It's a style that is in vogue at the high end, not for me but it will sell I think.
I don't get hung up on the whole Tag thing. I wore one through most of my 20's and 30's and was proud to show it off. My tastes have changed but my son has a couple on his short list for his 21st so it goes back to certain tastes at different times.
While it follows the current fashion for 'industrial' watches, in which the innards are revealed, what is revealed is merely utilitarian mechanism; it's not pretty, coherently displayed or remotely
interesting, it's just a fairly ordinary and entirely undecorated Chinese style movement that serves as a poor background to the hands. This confused effect is actually made worse, by the facade directly in front of it, which further confuses the viewer. As if that is not enough, Tag saw fit to add yet more script that further confuses the eye and then surrounds the whole mess with an inner chapter ring,a busy outer chapter ring and an equally busy tachy (in every sense) bezel which, combined with the subdials and date ring adds up to a quite remarkable one hundred and sixteen distinct numerals. The outer chapter ring alone has two separate scales on it, which combined with the inner indices and the outer tachy scale to give the impression of a watch designed by a committee that couldn't say no and an over excited eight year old.
Then we get to finishes, there are dozens of them: matt, shiny, brushed, light grey, dark grey, black and so on. While the actual shape, face on, echoes the clear purity of the Heuer divers from before TAG trashed the company, the plastic looking black bits remind anyone who was dumb enough to buy one of Tag's crappy plastic divers from back in the day, Yup that's me, of that unfortunate period and raises the expectation of the plastic scoring and peeling away from the crown while the bezel slowly erodes into shiny nothingness. I'm sure it's anodized steel, but that's not the point, someone should have remembered not to remind people of the plastic period...
That do?
I'll stick with one of these as my open face offering:

How much?! This looks like a £200 jobbie from Argos.
This is a TAG, what did you expect :)
Its styling is derivative, it's hard to read, the date placement is awkward and it's much too large. The PVD is also overdone. I like the case shape and in particular the lugs, but that's been around for decades.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Don't want to quote the whole post but LOVE THE BULOVA!
Yes!
This is the sort of reply which marks TZUK apart from WUS, BreitlingSource etc where a watch is posted, and followed by 30 one word replies.
It would be fine
a) without the skeleton dial, and
b) if it was £430 rather than £4300
As it is, forget it.
How about you take your appropriate response dictatorship and poke it up the very same orifice that Christopher Walken would use to transport that gaudy Tag. Without lubricant.
At least that way it gives you something else to worry about apart from what other people have to say and also stands a high chance of improving its design aesthetic by completely obscuring the dial.
There. I considered it.
You can buy a proper watch for that money
You'd have to really hate your money to buy that.
I assume that the irony of your one line reply is not lost on you?
Thanks. I actually bought it by accident as a complete gamble on the basis of a blurry picture in the US. All I was looking for was the resonator. Infuriatingly this one is working perfectly apart from the minor detail of having lost the sapphire tip to the index pawl and is in impeccable condition. The watch I was trying to get spares for is this one:
Which is what I call a proper watch!
