About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

Customer Reviews

Same watch with metal band: CAF1010.BA0821
I have this same watch with the metal band. As of this writing, AMAZON has a mislabeled model number (same model number except for the last two digits ending in 15 vice 21...and there seems to be no such thing as a "MICROTIMER"), yet the metal band CAF1010.BA0821 on AMAZON does not have the proper specs annotated on that page for this model number. This is why I am writing the review here (same time-piece, but band made of rubber).
My work as an international airline pilot takes me overseas four to five times per month and this watch fits the bill. With a twist of the crown, and the push of one button, I have the second time zone (T2) displayed in the bottom window. There is also the option of easily changing T1 home time to the new local time you just arrived in, as the analog clock hands will zip to the digital time you place for the hour in the digital display without affecting minutes and seconds (useful if you'd like T2 to be ZULU or GMT). You can also change the minute hand (i.e. trip to India) forward 30 minutes and the seconds are unaffected (lesser known fact: you can also look at any Greenwich Time set analog time display upside down and get local Mumbai, India time). One push of the crown, and all the windows are backlit (btw, the face and hands are luminescent with the lights out). This watch also includes a daily alarm (synchronized to time zone one or T1...you'll have to do the math to use it in different time zones unless you shifted T1 time to your location time zone, obviously). It also features a diary alarm which allows you to set alarms a well into the future. The chronograph is great to time your workout runs, as well. So far this watch is on the high end of accuracy for a quartz time-piece. Mine loses only 1/2 second per week and two seconds per month variation in accuracy for a non-atomic watch is fine by me. If this watch were light/solar powered like a CITIZEN or CASIO, it would be the ultimate package in a watch. But I'm not complaining if two to five years is what the battery will give me and like other lifetime lasting high end watches, a battery change is a good time to get the mechanism lubed up and inspected...especially a watch I will certainly take down to 70 feet or so on my dive vacation.
Automatic watches have completely unacceptable "accuracy" for my needs and they must often be serviced as often as battery run watches need battery changes due to the complexities of the moving parts.
Also, this watch has an energy saving mode if you need to put it away for a while.
Regarding the operation of the watch, it does take a little getting use to. If you see this watch in a jewelry store, good luck if you can get the person behind the glass case to explain it to you. But if you want to see how the thing operates before buying or to avoid sapping battery life as you figure it out, you can get a true to life interactive demo here: http://www.tagheuer.com/the-news/new-products/chronotimer-demo/index.lbl .
And don't lose the instruction booklet. I couldn't find one on the web anywhere when I had temporarily misplaced it right after purchasing the watch.

So what's the time???
I've been looking for a nice high end ana/digi watch for daily plus sports use, and thought this was the ticket. A nice upgrade from my traditional Timex/Suunto style.

I received it an immediately noticed something: the hour and minute hands are split polished metal, with a dab of lum on the ends. The watch face is so busy that it is virtually impossible to see the position of the thin split metal hands at a glance, and I found myself always having to rotate the face to get the right light to see where they were. Perhaps I'm just spoiled after MUCH cheaper digital watches with big digits on them!

I tried for several days to get used to it, but no luck. The watch was returned today. I'll look for something else with fat solid hands.
