I have contemplated purchasing a high end watch such as a Tag Heuer for several years. I was just hesitant to spend the money. I own several other watches from manufacturers such as Pulsar Fossil and Swatch. So for my birthday this year I decided to splurge. This watch is notably more well designed and built than any other watch I own. When picked up the first thing you notice is the weight of it. The stainless steel and titanium promise durability and it's sapphire crystal face is impervious to scratches. Like other reviewers I noticed the accuracy of the chronograph and the precision in the construction of the bezel dial and buttons. All in all it is a beautiful sporty and classy watch.
Update - 3/24/10
Woke up in the morning to find watch had stopped during the night. Seemed to work again after resetting the correct time. But the large second hand used for the chronograph function was not aligned any more with the default 12 o'clock position. I contacted Amazon's customer service about this and was advised to send to their authorized service center (Swinford Jewelers in KY). I shipped it out on my own dime and am supposed to receive back in 4-6 weeks. I am hoping it was simply a case of a low battery and not a quality problem. I will further update this review after I get the watch back.

Received repaired watch back today. It seems to be in good working order. I have no idea what the repair was. I had asked the jewelers to email me with what was wrong but didn't get anything from them. I am guessing that they replaced the battery and reset the chronograph. At least it took much shorter than the estimated 4-6 weeks.
Update
Less than two weeks after this last entry this watch stopped working again (stopped dead sometime overnight). Once again it started working again after resetting the time. The response from warranty service was to send it back to Swinford AGAIN. This raised a red flag as far as I am concerned and I believe the watch that I received was a "lemon". This shouldn't happen with a $700.00 watch (breaking down twice in the first two months of ownership). I contacted Amazon Customer Service and stated I wanted to send it back for a refund and they obliged me. I sent it back and had my credit card reimbursed the full refund.
