TAG Aqua Racer - Anyone have one?

[johnthegas]

Does anyone else own one of these piles of sh**e? Mine gains five minutes a week, the day has stuck on Saturday - what a pile of rubbish!! and for what? £1500? I should have bought a £30 Timex from Argos!
I have another TAG and it gains about 2 seconds a year - that is the accuracy I expect from such a watch.
I have tried to send the heap of C**p back but apparently the timekeeping is within acceptable tolerances - Can you believe it?
Anyone got any thoughts / advice? Because I'm thinking about running it over with my car and claiming on the insurance (did I really say that?)
Over to you!

5minutes a week sounds like it has been either magnetised or the hairspring coils are sticking. Also is this the chronograph version probably a Valjoux 7750 chrono movement?

If youve spent 1500 on a watch and arent happy then take it back.

But ive not noticed any timing issues at all with my cheaper TAG Aquaracer 2000

No problems with my chronotimer either...

I've had my Tag Aqua Racer for around 2 years and have had no issues with time keeping etc, if I was you I would be taking it back to the shop or sending it back to TAG as there is a 2 year warranty

If its chronometer spec she should be keeping time to -4 to +6 seconds a day. And if she is magnetised it's usually an easy fix maybe you've been placing the watch next to your alarm clock speaker or something?
