The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Stainless Steel Watch looks like it belongs on a celebrity driving a red convertible. The black-and-steel shade is perfectly synced with the racetrack-type markings with a hint of a winning red.
The TAG Heuer Formula 1 has a functionality and durability to back up its aesthetic excellence. The watch boasts an excellent water-resistance rating of 660ft, a reliable Swiss quartz movement, and a fine-brushed stainless steel case. We especially enjoy the fact that the hour markers are luminous, making the watch actually legible when underwater–a feat some other waterproof watches can’t accomplish.
The rubber strap is flexible enough, obviously, but its holes may catch and tug on arm hair. We also felt that the crown appeared to have a looser fit than the crowns of other waterproof watches we’ve seen out there, making routine maintenance a potential point of concern for the long-term.
