Tag Heuer Aquaracer

The Aquaracer was my first “expensive” watch. It’s been two and a half years since purchased and I wear it most days. Hasn’t skipped a beat , and is very accurate at about +2 seconds a day. It’s been on the boat and in the saltwater as well as sitting behind a keyboard.

Since then, i've picked up a Tag Heuer Aquaracer a few years ago while on a cruise with my fiancé and it's been my daily work horse since. It was my first "expensive" watch. I've always loved Omega watches for various reasons, and now that i'm older and have a bit more expendable income, when i saw the redesigned Aquaterra with the new teak deck styled dial i knew i had to own one. So to celebrate my wedding with a gift of a goal watch, i thought would be perfect.

## Tag Heuer Aquaracer Caliber 5. I bought this watch to commemorate a promotion I received at work in early 2019 and is my favorite piece to wear casually.

I've been wearing a Tag Aquaracer (first on the bracelet, then moved it to rubber) for the last several years. It's been a really great watch, and the sentimental value it holds means it will never leave my collection. That being said, the ETA movement inside was just a bit less accurate than I would have liked it to be (some days I was losing almost 30 seconds even after actively wearing it for 16+ hours) and the power reserve meant I could really only go one day without wearing it before having to reset it.

Other than that... I love everything about this watch.

That being said, I’ll throw in some support for Tag Heuer as well. I briefly owned an Aquaracer Caliber 5 diver and really enjoyed wearing it. The build quality was fantastic and packed a significant value.

I had a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 from 2007, but after the initial high of buying my first "luxury" watch, I realized I wasn't really that happy with the quality of the watch for the price I paid. I was much more satisfied with my Squale 1545 I had before.
