I'm not a huge tag fan but I like that model and love the black and yellow. Wish it was ceramic but otherwise very very nice.

It's nice, but I can't get casio edifice out of my brain when I look at it, and that, along with the price, is the deal breaker for me.

First automatic watch ever to measure 1/10th? Isn't there an horde of Primero 'flying 10th' powered timepieces out there to contradict that? That said, isn't the cal. 36 an El Primero to begin with?

The watch is no doubt a nice piece, but looks a lot like the previous ones and somehow a bit... sorry... cheap. I know it isn't, but it has so many gimmicks it could do without... That spoils it for me in the elegance dpt.

Tag's claim is "measures and displays" - which is technically correct, and yes it is an El Primero.

It was more the "first" bit I was wondering about... But maybe that wasn't in the original claim... I might have misunderstood. :)

"first watch that measures and displays" - that's correct. Zenith didn't have anything that displayed 1/10 of a second prior to this, gradations were in 1/5ths.

I've never been Tag fan myself but I tried one of these on and it really does look like a pretty nice watch.
