This is substantially low and is below average considering today’s modern watchmaking technology. The major drawback to the Calibre 5 movement in the Aquaracer collection is that the power reserve is only 38 hours. ETA has found a way to mass produce a movement that is surprisingly accurate, even for not being COSC certified. If you didn’t know, the ETA 2824-2 is widely known as one of the best outsourced movements. Even though this movement has been named by Tag Heuer, it’s really a modified ETA 2824-2. In most mens Aquaracers, the Calibre 5 movement is used. There are many other watch brands that are fitting $3,000 watches with in-house movements and none of them are the same size as the Tag Heuer company. The only improvement I’d like to see with the Aquaracer is an in-house movement.
Obviously it isn’t being graded on the same scale as a Rolex Submariner so let’s just appreciate it for what it is. Overall I’d have to rate the Tag Heuer Aquaracer a 7/10 for what it is. Wearing a watch that costs a fraction of that is actually inviting because as a wearer, you get a reliable companion that you want to take you through all those type of moments in life. Ordinarily I wouldn’t advise taking a $10,000 watch on strenuous hikes, surfing, rough housing around the house with kids, or other activities. This watch is made to be worn and is pleasantly priced to give the wearer comfort in putting it to the test. What hasn’t changed about the Aquaracer is its reliability and durability. It doesn’t try to imitate other watches and the design dares to be changed throughout the years. In the current references you’ll notice a completely different look but that is what makes the Tag Heuer Aquaracer fun. Although the Aquaracer has been around for many years, its looks have changed drastically over time. Personally, I purchased mine because I loved the two tone look and I knew I could comfortably wear it every single day.Įnough about me, let’s chat about the Tag Heuer Aquaracer and our review of it. A watch should match its owner preference and be up to the task it was bought for. Yes, you’re not going to win over watch snobs or generate envy like a Rolex but that isn’t what wearing watches are about. I wore mine daily and had the same experience that most do, an amazing one. When it comes to reviewing the Tag Heuer Aquaracer, I feel like I’m uniquely qualified because I was a proud owner of one for many years. The Tag Heuer Aquaracer is a great example of where value and performance meet. Tag Heuer is a historic brand dating back to 1887 that is known for durability and value. It’s not just the price point that attracts buyers to the Aquaracer. Priced between $2,050-$4,200, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer is a great first watch for collectors getting into the industry or for a gift. One of the best entry level luxury dive watches is a Tag Heuer Aquaracer.
