I started my watch collection 2 years ago with this one. Always wanted a black, white and a blue watch for my collection. Bought this black one to start my collection and now own a Tag Aquaracer (Alarm & black dial), Omega Speedmaster(Day & Date, Automatic, Silver dial), Omega Seamaster (Automatic, White dial, circa 1960) and Breitling Aeromarine Colt (Automatic, Blue dial) besides a bunch of Bulova, Citizen, Seiko, Timex etc. This is a very good and stunning all-round watch for all occasions - formal, casual, sports etc. I prefer my blue Breitling Colt otherwise - on most occasions and the Breitling is my favorite watch.
I don't use the alarm much though it looks good and add character to the dial. Sound / Beep is not loud enough - and can be only heard if there is a pin-drop silence, your are not fast asleep and are half expecting it to o-off. I travel frequently and so have to constantly adjust the time to local time zones. Doing so shifts the alarm calibration as well. So each time I need to set the alarm - need to calibrate it also again which is a pain. No scratches on the glass after more than 2 years of good use. Keeps accurate time. Not heavy or big sized for my wrist. Simple yet elegant ! Love it !!
Aquaracer Quartz Alarm
I have owned my Aquaracer for about 8 months now and it has proven to be very accurate and reliable. Several reviewers on different sites have complained about the alarm feature and at first it confused me too. After CAREFULLY reading the manual I realized that it is normal for the alarm hands to rotate when pulling out the stem to set the time on the watch. This is part of the alarm synchronization procedure. After setting the time the alarm needs to be synchronized to the time set. This is done while the watch is still in time set mode with the crown pulled all the way out. Then just hold the alarm button in till the alarm hands show exactly the same time as the watch hands. When the crown is pushed back in the alarm hands return to their previously set position and are synchronized. Once this is done the alarm is accurate to the second. I have never before seen an analog watch with an alarm that sounded on the second.
I am quite impressed with the quality of this watch. The crown and stem screw in nicely and the sapphire crystal is still without the slightest scratch. The one way rotating bezel has 120 clicks for a complete rotation and requires enough effort to turn that it has never moved unintentionally. The luminous coating on the hands and face markings are very bright and keep usable brightness all night. This is always my watch of choiฆำำce now when I expect to be out at night. The date display is well done and quite readable at the unique six o'clock position. While the bracelet uses pressed in pins for adjustment rather than threaded screws, the pins press into small bushings that work quite well and the bracelet feels well made. I also like the fact that Tag Heuer did not try to copy the Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster as so many other makers have, but created their own style with the Aquaracer line. And finally I like the size. I know that huge watches are quite in style these days but my wrists are a bit small and at 38.4 mm the case is a very nice size that looks and feels good to wear.
