I'm a bit of a watch geek, so when I saw this at a watch shop in Hong Kong, I picked one up. On its face, it's a pretty simple watch, but under the hood it has a stopwatch (with a full size sweep second *and* minute hand, separate from the regular time keeping dials, and a lap timing mode. (The thin silver (seconds) and red (minutes) hands are shown in the image above.)
It's waterproof down to nearly 1000 feet, which is kind of silly number, but that's in a test chamber. Take this puppy diving and that extra breathing room helps the watch take a pounding. When not adjusting the watch, the stem screws in tight to maintain a good seal, and keeps you from accidentally changing the time.
Pull the stem out half way to adjust the hour and change the calendar (with nice detents!) Pull the stem all the way out to adjust the minutes.
The top button starts and stops the stopwatch, the bottom button resets the stopwatch or triggers a lap time reading.
I'm a little embarrassed to say, but the black rubber strap is what pulled me in. Nice watches with metal bracelets are really not my thing and I've never found them comfortable. For my personality, this watch screams "hey this is a really nice watch that doesn't sacrifice its utility with a snooty band, and by gosh, it looks great on my wrist."Get more detail about TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer 2000 Quartz Chronograph Watch #CAF1110.FT8010.
