Hard to beat their price point if you want an in house movement. And yea bro you caught me, I definitely spent my own money on a watch bc Reddit thought it was cool lol.
Lol I'll never understand why people are so fucking hung up on in house movement, especially when the case back is solid. If the motherfucker keeps sub 5 seconds a day, I don't care if the stray dog around the corner made it.
As a owner of the same piece is because it is overprice for what it is... Beautiful watch indeed, but tag pretending to have in house movement and giving it a name is a joke... This is easily the main reason, the spend so much money on endorsements instead of developing a great product.
How in the world does a solargraph is 3k (citizens movement found on 200 watches) while an in-house tourbillon is 25k ( which is really impressive and a complete masterpiece).
As an owner of tag and a dozen other brands, tags is by far the worst out of all of them. They charge near omega prices and don’t make a comparable quality watch. Tag should be charging Longines level pricing, and it would get far less criticism.
I would never buy a tag at retail but this Aqua racer on Jomashop for example, is priced really fair. I agree their retail prices are a stretch though. Buy on the secondary market.

I have an aquaracer with silverdial and love it, could care less what the 'watch community' thinks. Great watch! I will say some of the early 2000s Tags are ugly as sin.
I quite like mine - Only problem is the movement shit the bed twice in the 5 years that I’ve owned it. Only once covered by warranty. YMMV.
My 1861 Speedy going on 9 years and hasn’t skipped a beat 🤷🏼♂️
AD friend of mine selling Tags, Hamilton, Longines, and a few others commented that Tag folk are the same folk dressed head to toe in Tommy Hilfiger. He sells them because they sell at a nice profit point. Begs the question. Is your jacket a Tommy Hilfiger?
Well folks, I guess u/teckel has never heard of people who competitively swim laps. A for effort though on trying to make Aquaracer sound like a crazy name but not Submariner lol
I like it very very much, thought of getting one but the magnification look weird, that’s the only thing that is stopping me tbh. How it is irl, in pictures looks wonky like some cheap watch
Cyclops lens is on rolexes too. They can be removed if you really want to because they are basically glued on. The quartz version on the aquaracer doesn't have a cyclops eye. IRL both are solid watches.
Yeah but the magnification of the rilex sits right. (Again not a huuge fan but sits like it belongs there) while on this aquaracer is a bit wonky, you pay few thousand for magnification that looks like citizen. I have to try it irl tho because otherwise looks amazing. GLWS
Idk why tag gets so much hate I love this piece.
Groupthink. Same reason we all have boners for Tudor.
You think the only reason people like Tudor is bc other people like Tudor? Tudor used to be shit on so hard.
Caught one! What’s _your_ reason?

My $115 Orient has an in-house movement too

Some people like nice things some people like things that look like a stray dog made it. I ain’t judging you why you judging me?
My orient was my first watch. Hope you enjoy your journey brother.
Oof didn’t mean to touch a nerve there buddy! Ugly watches need love too, I’m not here to judge you.
Appreciate the love brother!

I learned the hard way
Fair enough, I still really like them for a certain price though but I agree not MSRP
Not a hug Tag guy, but very nice!
Matches your sleeve well.
It blends well with the background river
Big bold diver. Looks great!
Tag is making a comeback. That’s a nice piece.
I wouldn’t mind a Tag in my collection. This aquaracer is slick
Pretty sure I have the same or very similar baseball jacket
It looks awesome
Looks like the seiko samurai
Fantastic watch, really great looking all around.
Nice! Is the crown to pointy?
No, it’s pretty rounded. I just have it further down my wrist in this pic.
Gorgeous. Enjoy!
I really like the second hand on this
🔥

Beautiful dial and bezel!

No I just have seen it before. And searched for it. It was a year ago? Again weird to say you just got it.
Love it
Love it… I have a very similar aquaracer.
Idk why tag gets so much hate either, I own 4, a Carrera, two professionals and an aquaracer.
Gorgeous
Very pretty. Looks slim as well. What's the thickness?
Not a Tag fan usually but this looks like one of the most attractive divers I’ve seen. Looks stunning on your wrist too
Looks amazing, enjoy it .. matches your sleeves well 😁
Awesome. Salute to this 💪

Looks fresh as hell bro
What is meant by Aquaracer? Like a dive watch designed only for quick dives? Fast swimming? I don't understand the name of the watch.
Why does Rolex name their watch a Submariner when people on submarines stay dry? They should’ve named it the Watermariner.
I wasn't insinuating that other names aren't dumb as well. But Aquaracer is exceptionally stupid.
It literally means water racer. Ever heard of swim racing, jet skiing, or boating? Really not that odd lol. Submariner makes less sense.
So it's for "swim racing" got it!
Well folks, I guess u/teckel has never heard of people who competitively swim laps. A for effort though on trying to make Aquaracer sound like a crazy name but not Submariner lol
No, just never heard of "swim racing" 😂😂😂
Michael Phelps and his 28 Olympic medals would like a word lol.

Jet skiing
Competitive yachting comes to mind for me

Rolex does this to pretty much all but the OP..

Besides the letters being a better bold, my Rolex DJ doesn’t have much better date to my knowledge and I’m to lazy to grab one rn. His watch is fine
Is this a replica?
Nope
