TAG Heuer Monaco Watch Review - Coolest Watch Or Just Another TAG?

Has TAG gone too far with the extraordinary Monaco? TAG Heuer's all-new vintage Monaco sports a powerful design true to the revolutionary spirit of the original: black dial with orange and blue stripes, vintage "GULF" logo at 6 o'clock and matching black alligator strap with orange stitching

By the time you finish reading this review, you will know exactly if the TAG Heuer Monaco is right for you.

I have been a watch collector for over 10 years and have reviewed nearly a hundred timepieces. When I received my TAG Monaco as a birthday present, it was love at first site.

I know you have some questions about this inspired timepiece, so lets get started.

What Makes It So Special? 

The TAG Heuer company has sponsored various motorsports for decades, has been endorsed by some of racing's biggest names and continues to produce some of the most lust-worthy yet attainable driver's watches on the market.

It's a brand synonymous with success.

Some of the famous celebrities to endorse TAG include Jeff Gordon, Tiger Woods, Sebastien Bourdais, and Uma Thurman.

With the TAG Heuer Monaco, you'll own a watch that projects an image of confidence, sportiness, and an irresistible cool.

Who Is It For? 

The TAG Heuer Monaco is a favorite among active men. I enjoy the style, and quite frankly the satisfaction that, since I was a little boy, I've always wanted a TAG.

It's like a BMW. People who are not into cars will say it's expensive, but to those in the know, it represents the best combination of sporty handling, comfort, design, practicality, but most of all, fun!

Is It Reliable? 

Not even a scratch to report. Yes, the TAG Monaco is an incredibly reliable and durable watch - something to consider in a luxury watch. If you're like me, you want assurance and unmatched reliability before investing thousands into a luxury watch.

The casing is constructed out of bulletproof-like stainless steel and is able to withstand devastating abuse that would send most watches off to the repair shop.

The Tag Heuer Monaco is the type of watch you can wear everyday and travel through different countries, oceans, go skiing, and mow the lawn and have it still run perfectly. This is coming from first hand experience. Abuse is quite frankly an understatement.

This watch stays on my wrist all the time and has proven to be indestructible - far surpassing my expectations.

How Long Does The Battery Last? 

As far as battery life, Ive had mine for over two years and it still has the original battery. Expected battery life depends - and averages between 20-24 months.

Are The Movements Accurate? 

You have the dependability of split-second accuracy with the TAG Heuer Monaco, thanks to it's incredibly accurate quartz movement. I really pay attention to this characteristic in a watch and the TAG Heaur has proven to be incredibly resilient, accurate to within 1-2 seconds per month. No watch is perfect but this is as close as you can get.

Is It Waterproof? 

Yes, this watch withstands diving depths of up to 30m (99 feet) making it a safe and secure investment for scuba diving, swimming, and surfing adventures. Unless your into deep sea diving, this will more than suffice.

Conclusion ... 

I have a pretty good collection of Tag Heuers but the Monaco really stands out. Its drop dead good looks and amazing functionality has made it an instant favorite. Cost may be a consideration for some as it's fairly expensive. As a matter of fact, this is my only complaint about the Monaco.

The best place to order a TAG Monaco is Amazon.com. They offer the lowest prices (26% off) and only sell genuine TAGs plus a 30-day money back guarantee.
