I always see this stupid comment or a similar one like "use your phone, it shows the time too" on luxury watch posts.
What car do you drive? You could have got a cheaper one does the same job..
What trainers or shoes do you wear? could have got a cheaper one, does the same job.
What jacket do you wear? Could have got a cheaper one, does the same job.
What TV do you have? Could have got a cheaper one, does the same job
Now you see how stupid your comment was?

I go down the "do it yourself for £3". Its a doddle and the whole "official reseal" thing is a complete con outside of professional dive watches (which this certainly is NOT) . Worst case, new gasket and a smidgen of watch silicone grease, another £3.

Had one of these for years, good watch at this price, but the battery replacement costs of nearly £100 Tag official retailers now charge make it a never again purchase for me. Also don't go down the £20 non franchise retailer battery replacement with a "lifetime warranty", mine never worked properly again after I put it in, wasn't sealed correctly and I eventually binned it.
Having said that, if you can see beyond the battery replacement costs, this is still a good deal, so heat from me to the OP.

I used to love my TAG watch but mine also suffered at the hands of a friend taking it to a watch shop for a battery. Apparently they put the wrong size battery in it and even after taking it to a professional jewellers shop it was never the same.
As for the other comments here about phones and clothes etc..
I always find it funny that the people in the flash car with the private number plate, the nice clothes, fancy watch and the premium phone still can't afford a HANDS FREE KIT!! :laughing:
Those things must be well expensive!

Good find I'm tempted but after watching the 360 video the second hand doesn't quite line up with the markings and that would bug me at this price but that's just me. Have some heat.

You may be lucky and not get the actual one shown in the video :smiley:
Seriously though, I think it's just the camera angles, I think it will probably look okay in reality.
Don't really rate TAGs, but this is a low price for a reasonably upmarket brand, heat added.

Using a Casio, what a waste of money! I carry a short pole, or stick, and a compass. Just stick the pole into the ground to make a sundial, use the compass to calibrate the shadow.
It also saves money as I don't need a satnav.
I also save money by not having a smartphone. Two bean cans and string do the job.

it's not about doing the job, it's jewellery.

I am saving my money for the Casio I'd like, which incidentally costs substantially more than the Tag in question. Casio's MRG range isn't cheap.

They are not valid. The watch is technically inferior.
Would you not buy the better car that was cheaper?
Would you not buy the better trainers that were cheaper?
Would you not buy the better jacket that was cheaper?
Would you buy the better TV that was cheaper?
Now see how stupid your comment was?
Your paying for jewellery simple as. :smiley:
