Overviews of TAG Heuer WAB2010.BA0804
Designed for optimal performance both in and out of the water, this handsome automatic watch blends sporty prestige styling with optimal readability. The 41 mm case is crafted from a solid block of stainless steel and showcases a black dial with bold luminous hands and markers and a red-tipped seconds hand. The dial also features a tonal TAG Heuer logo and a date display at the three o'clock hour. Framing the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel, in matching black, with oversized Arabic numerals and a luminescent marker at the 12 o'clock position. The handsome link bracelet, in brushed steel, fastens securely with a fold-over-clasp with safety and features an extension system so that the watch can be worn over a diving suit. Other notable features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-in crown and caseback for water resistance to 300 meters. Calibre 5 automatic movement means that this watch winds itself with the natural motion of your wrist and does not require a battery.

I've never been particularly bothered about watches - they seemed to me to be either too sporty or too formal I think. I wanted to know the time, but I never put any energy (or money) into picking a watch. That was until I discovered the black dial/ss bracelet dive watch, along with the automatic movements, and I started to think I might spend some money on a watch. The first attempt at a purchase did not go well - I was fooled by Invicta's shameless marketing policy of claiming that their watches are very heavily reduced - a policy Amazon went along with. I got their 9937 dive watch and then found out about the way the company worked (their television sales - their endless catalogue of tasteless watches). I sold that watch, got myself a Seiko Black Monster for a song (what a fabulously funky thing it is), and started to research the more traditional black dial dive watch category with care. It had to be an automatic and it had to be simple - just three hands, no sub-dials or GMT functions etc. etc. and I didn't want to get a watch, like the Invicta, the appeal of which depended on how well it could pass as something else. I wanted something which was technically good AND which looked the way I wanted it to look. I was very tempted by the Debaufre/Steinhart offering - but it was just too close to the Invicta (like the Invictat it is a relatively cheap Rolex Submariner copy or 'homage' though doubtless better quality). The Marcello C Nettuno 3 very nearly convinced me too - that really is an excellent watch, but new they cost nearly 0 which, for a relatively unknown German made Rolex homage - however good - was too much money. Then I discovered this TAG Heuer Autoracer (WAB2010) and, whilst it was more expensive than I was happy with, it was the ONLY watch I could find that fitted the bill. Being a TAG, and diverging significantly from the Submariner mold, it doesn't quite count as a Submariner copy - but - unlike the newest Aquaracer 500m offering - it stays close enough to it to keep the simple look I like. It is nicely finished, almost all the steel is brushed not polished, and that keeps it casual and not too bright and blingy. It is the perfect size for my average 7' wrist - 40mm watches are just too small - 43mm and above are too big. Finally, because it has recently been discontinued it is heavily reduced (the original price would have been impossible for me). There really isn't another watch out there that I could find which was technically well enough made and which looked simple and direct (even if the Omegas were affordable they're too flashy and complicated and the bracelet is too blingy). Now if you look at the watch forums many watch enthusiasts dismiss TAG because of their advertising policies (lots of expensive celebrities to pay) - but if you want a really well made, swiss, mechanical dive watch which is not all bells and whistles and which is slightly more casual than dressy. then you don't have a lot of choices. This watch is beautifully finished and wonderfully well designed and incredibly comfortable - my long search for a good swiss automatic in the mainstream of the diver tradition is over, and I have the right watch.
Additional Note - Amazon's customer service is really fantastic. It was incrediby easy to get to talk to a real person - they knew who I was and what I had ordered from them - and they responded very reasonably indeed to my requests. This is a great company - I'm sure their two year 'grey market' guarantee is at least as good as the manufacturer's. Superb retail experience!

Great Value - Jake L. - Fairbanks, Alaska
This is a great watch for the money. Watch has a great look to it. Soooo glad I bought the automatic. If you're going to spend over 00 for a watch, make sure it's an auto.
The price just keeps going up so get your now.
Good Watch, Very Comfortable - J. Park -
This watch is very verstile & will help you "look the part" when you need to without being over-the-top as to distract. Very surprised with how comfortable this watch is. It is heavy, but I don't feel it on my wrist as much as I do my other watches.
Mine is gaining a consistent 7 seconds per day, which is very acceptable.
Excellent Watch - C. Ang - Chicago, IL
This TAG Heuer timepiece is excellent. I have had this watch for over a month now and have been happy with it. This timepiece comes in a beautiful box. Actually, when you receive the package, you will feel that you have indeed purchased a high quality product. This is a diver's watch, so it has a diver's extension that allows you to extend the normal size of the bracelet to fit a wetsuit.
The only issue that I have with this watch is with the power reserve, which is hard to gauge. In particular, you do not know exactly how much power reserve the watch has when you take it off, so you may find yourself adjusting the time more often. This usually happens to me over the weekend if I don't wear the watch for a full (work) day. But this issue is common in automatic watches unless you go for the ones with extra long power reserves.
As this watch has an automatic movement, the time keeping is sometimes off - either it is a little bit fast or a little bit slow. However, most people will probably not get annoyed by this. For all practical purposes, this watch will give you the correct time. This issue is common in automatic watches, even if they are Swiss made. Keeping time is not or should not be the primary reason in purchasing this timepiece, so I don't understand why so much time has been devoted to explaining the accuracy (or lack thereof) of this particular watch. Most people carry a few things that keep time much more accurately, e.g. cell phones and pagers. In fact, a digital watch will keep time more precisely than any automatic watch - no matter the price.
