What to Know Before Buying a TAG Heuer Watch
Out of all the top watch brands in our store, TAG Heuer holds a special place in our hearts. Going back decades, Feldmar and TAG have collaborated with Feldmar serving at times as a service center, preferred dealer, and sometimes both! Besides their unique designs, they offer incredible innovations and world-class craftsmanship. We love introducing first-time buyers and collectors to this historic brand. Read on to discover what you should consider when purchasing your first TAG Heuer watch!
Consider the Style
Considering the style of your watch should go without saying, but it’s still a good thing to mention. Each line of TAG Heuer watches is unique in its own way, so chances are you’ll be able to find something that fits your particular style. If you’re looking for something that’s sporty, you might want to look into the Formula 1 and Monaco models. If you’re looking for something more understated, you might look at the Link models or the Carrera collection.
Consider the Size
Have smaller wrists? Check out the Link collection. These watches tend to be smaller but still easily readable with a more classic appeal. Of course, some people may be interested in a larger model. If that’s the case, you might want to consider the Monaco collection. With big, bold, square styling, these watches are hard to miss! And if you’re looking for something more in the middle, TAG’s lineups have sizes ranging from 34mm to 45mm.
Look Into the Movement
We love educating first time buyers about watch movements. The movement of your watch refers to the gears and internal mechanics that allow it to keep accurate time. To some, the movement may not seem like a big deal however, it makes a huge difference in its overall performance. After all, they are the “engine” that makes your watch special! Do you prefer quartz movements and all the low-maintenance benefits that come with a battery-powered timepiece? Or are you a fan of automatic watches and all their intricacy and soul? Either way, TAG Heuer watches have something for everyone with most styles available in either quartz or automatic versions.
Don’t Forget the Warranty
Most watch brands come with guarantees for their products and TAG is no exception with their 24 month international warranty. The peace of mind provided by a warranty can put your mind at ease as you move through life with your timepiece on your wrist.
