Tag Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 Review – Cool, Hip and Totally Tag!
Are you ready to pull the trigger on a Tag Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500? I was in the same boat 4 months ago before my wife bought me one on my 31st birthday. I’ve been a watch fanatic for years collecting a variety of luxury timekeepers, but this one is a real treat.
First Impressions: In actuality, I had no idea I was a TAG guy until I wore my Indy 500 model # CAC111B.BA0850. The best way I can describe it is “sporty” and “sophisticated”. It definitely draws attention (I’ve had a few beautiful ladies comment on it so don’t tell my wife), yet not in an over-the-top way. It’s the perfect watch to project an aura of confidence and success with a youthful, sporty vibe.
TAG Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 Features: This beautiful work of art comes with all the attention to detail and features that make it a TAG. Features include quartz movement, water resistant to 200 m, scratch resistance sapphire crystal, steel case, and a precision dial with luminescent hour-markers and hands.
The TAG Look: The thing I really like about it is the rugged look and feel. Not only does it have a look of authority and sportiness, it features some of the best craftsmanship I’ve ever seen in a watch.
Built To Last: Cheap does not apply here. The TAG Indy 500 is sturdy, reliable, and durable for the most adverse conditions. So far, I’ve worn mine skiing, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, and lawn moving. You can probably tell I’m an active guy! I have not had any problems.
FYI, one comment I’ve heard from a few other owners is that the battery replacement is a bit expensive at $100. With a battery life of 20 months and warranty period of 2 years, it shouldn’t cost you anything for 4 years. Regardless, $100 is a minimal expense to pay when you consider how reliable and superior this luxury watch is.
The Verdict: Owning a TAG has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my life.
I love going to business meetings, out for dinner, and playing golf with the company of my Indy 500. It gives me a complete feeling of confidence and success that makes me feel great!
Before you pull the trigger on a Tag Heuer Indy 500, make sure you’re purchasing from an authorized dealer. There is nothing more disappointing than being ripped off.
