i bought this watch here a month ago. I love it. Giving a good feeling and looking amazing when u wear. Unbelievable price/quality ratio. Look at the price on the official Jacques Lemans website before. Will be a good choice for u too.
a customs fee warning for the turkish customers:
eger turkiyeye göndermeyi dusunuyorsaniz gumruk masraflari isin icine girdiginde umdugunuzdan cok daha pahaliya gelecektir. Bunu da goz onunde bulundurun.

This watch is HEAVY! The quality is extremely good. I own 32 watches and some of them way more expensive than this one (incl. TAG HEUER, OMEGA, etc.) This watch compares to the qaulity and workmanship of those more expensive watches. THE absolute BEST value for money I have ever bought.

I was in the market for a new, high-end watch. A few key features that I was looking for were:
- Automatic/Self-Winding Movement
- Chronograph
- Chronometer Certified
Attempting to narrow my list of choices by brand, I originally chose to go with a Breitling but with my designated price range of about 2,000 dollars, I unfortunately could not find a model with all of my specifications that fell within my budget. Unwilling to waiver on my feature desires, I decided to look into other brands. Searching for an alternative, I came across this model by Tag Heuer. My desire for a Breitling, by and large, was driven by their high-quality (albeit expensive) products and great reputation, which certainly precedes them. However, Tag Heuer is also a well-known and respected Swiss manufacturer, so I decided they would be an excellent alternative. Looking at the spec-sheet, it met all my requirements while coming within budget.
Overall Impressions:
Packaging: When my watch is not being worn, I like to put it back in the casing and use it as a display, so having nice packaging is an important aspect of a product. As expected when purchasing any high-end item, the packaging is very nice. Within a sturdy cardboard outer box, the watch itself comes in a nice (what appears to be) leather-encased box/case with wooden accents. Admittingly, the packaging used for other brands can be a bit nicer but this is obviously a very trivial complaint. Nevertheless, it is still very nice to look at.
Watch: I did a lot of careful reseach and looked at many pictures of this watch prior to recieving it, so there were not any surprises on how looked. Purely speaking on it's physical looks, it is a gorgeous piece that will greatly enhance your look for a special occasion, or everyday attire. It is definately an "attention-getter", and I continue to get many compliments on it. It feels very sturdy and has a nice weight to it, but is not heavy enough to be over-encumbering when worn. As with most chronographs it has a very large face, which may put off some people but I actually prefer it. It is slightly on the thick side, however. In terms of accuracy, since it is COSC certified, I expected impeccable precision and was definately not disappointed. I haven't had this watch for very long, but from what I can tell, it doesn't lose more than a few seconds per every few days or so. The chronograph feature, as expected, works beautifully but lacks a few features commonly found on comparable models. The chronograph does not record 1/10th's of a second and also does not give the ability to stop the timer "in real time" (i.e. does not compensate for the length of the pause). Obviously these complaints are very minor, but for those who plan to use their watch to record detailed and/or multiple consecutive times, this Aquaracer unfortunately will not meet your needs.
Final Thoughts: If your looking for a luxuriously beautiful, feature-rich, high quality, accurate watch, this particular model is definately one worth careful consideration. Other than the extremely minor flaws I mentioned (so minor, in fact, that I felt it still deserves a perfect score), the Tag Heuer Aquaracer COSC Chronometer is a fantastic product that comes at a relatively low price. Do some shopping around and you will see that a watch with similar features from other companies may cost you hundreds, and perhaps even thousands, more. I highly recommend this to any watch enthusiast or anyone looking for a good, all-around, timepiece.

A very attractive watch. The problem is the so-called chronograph - it's almost worthless, as it merely ticks off one-second intervals. Also, the chronograph hand moves slightly, depending on the angle of your arm as you wear it, so it almost never lines-up exactly with the markings on the watch dial. I've had mine in the Jacques Lemans repair center twice to try to remedy that and have been told that it can't be "tightened" any more to prevent the slight movement, as to do so would begin to interfere with the functioning of the hour and minute dials. The dial face seems kind of rushed and cheap, although it does keep accurate time, and has a substantial case, rubber strap and metal clasp that are of high quality, and a cool industrial, racing look. If the chronograph is important to you at all, I definitely do not recommend this watch.
