This is a very sought-after gorgeous entry-level watch from TAG Heuer. In-spite of a price increase ($100 on avg.), the black dial model is usually out of stock in most on-line retailers (compared to the white dial one). It has been in my wish-list for some time now, and I regret not having purchased it when it was cheaper.
This model is part of the new Grande Date collection. The previous Formula 1 watch model CAH1110.BA0850 TAG Heuer Men's CAH1110.BA0850 Formula 1 Chronograph Watch has a 41mm case diameter, whilst this model (CAH1010.BA0860) has a wider 44mm case. Even the steel band is wider. It does not feel much heavier, but its definitely noticeable how much bigger it is.
In summary, the main differences between the Grande Date Formula 1 (CAH1010.BA0860) and the regular 41mm Formula 1 (model CAH1110.BA0850) are:
- 44mm case vs 41mm (very noticeable)
- Very slightly heavier
- Wider stainless steel band
- New band design (BA0860) has flatter links compared to the more rounded BA0850. To me i personally liked the BA0850, i wish they could've just made it wider. But the new is still nice.
- The new motorsports inspired chronograph layout is allot more visually appealing compared to the previous model. Its looks like a sports car rev counter.
- Date on 12 o'clock mark vs 4
The only thing i dont particularly like about this watch is the placement of the seconds dial. It is too small, and is not fully marked. And if im going to be very picky, id also have to say that they tried to cram so much in the watch that they ran out of space to properly mark the 5, 6, and 7 o'clock markers. They look like an after thought!
Overall, this is definitely a recommended watch if youre in the 950-1200 dollar price range. Not many watches in this price range even come close in quality and beauty compared to this watch. Get one before it goes up in price again!
Im very exited about my new watch....it feels solid, heavy and well made. I t looks elegant but at the same time sporty. Its 500us cheaper than any retail stores....which i think is very good.
I just got my new F1 watch and overall I am very please with the product and the next day delivery option. The watch is all I was expecting and more.
It's a very good looking watch and I'm sure I will have it for long time with no issues at all.
I had my doubts at first to buy through Amazon but I now can say the watch is original and will recomend to anyone.
No complaints, I'm a happy camper.
I just bought this watch after months of checking out other watches. I kept putting it off, then finally got one. I looked at everything from Tissot, Tag, and others. This one seemed to be the best of both classic style, and rugged use. I couldn’t be any happier with this watch. It was a gift to my self for lots of hard work and I love it!. I sit here and just stair at it. It really is a great looking watch, and looks much classier than the picture. It feels great on my arm, and my girlfriend loves it. It is not a swiss watch, but who cares. We live in 2010 and watches are going to last a long time, technology is not what it was 100 years ago. So I am looking forward to having this on my arm for a long time. Buy it!
This watch is massive, tough looking, yet not heavy and I hope it has a matching logevity. I have several wathches and so far this is one of my favorite casual, play watches!
Gave this watch to my bf for his birthday and he LOVED it! He does not like to wear jewelry at all and now he won’t leave the house without it. Overall this is a quality watch and you can’t beat the price. Everywhere he goes he gets compliments on it. Thanks Amazon once again!
