Any good (for a cheapish watch)?

Looks nice (IMO) which I guess is one of the main things at this price point.

Is this the one that retails for £575? It's quite an expensive watch for what it is ...

I'd personally have a look at Oris (www.oris.ch) - You may end up increasing your budget a bit, but in return you'll receive an automatic watch with ETA internals, excellent build quality and a more reputable brand on your wrist, if that matters to you smile

What is your budget and what sort of watch are you after?

Dont know about the F1 model, but I have a couple TW Steels and really like them.

TW9

TW88

The 88 was an impulse buy a few weeks ago at that reduced price, and think its worth THAT money, not sure about £465 tho..

Great watches, i'd just be concerned about knocks etc.

My TAG Aquaracer 2000 takes a right beating and looks in better condition than my 88 which seems to have a bezel made from plasticine - a bit harsh maybe, but i knocked it against the plastic door trim when getting a ride in my gf's IQ, it now has a tiny mark (silver) on the black bezel grumpy
its been fine since then, but thats as im now careful not to knock it..was just too used to wearing my TAG that needs no special attention.

On the flip side, my TW9 has been on many a drunken night out/clunked around on my desk at work whilst typing and looks as new (probably had it 5 years now?..)

I think value for money TW Steel are great, and frankly could have 3 or 4+ different TW's for the price of a nice TAG which seems a bargain and they do look really good on your wrist and you'll enjoy wearing them..
