I had been deciding between a Formula 1 or a Tissot (One Touch) for a few weeks. When I saw this color scheme on the Tag I had to go for it. The all black play of the strap, dial, bezel, and case was what sold me. It’s a bit surprising they don’t offer more color schemes on the Formula 1 with the black titanium carbide case. After seeing it, the stainless steel cases on the Formula 1 with the rubber strap seemed a bit odd. I’ve been enjoying this watch for about 6 months now. A bit too sporty and substantial (almost 15mm thick) for semi-formal wear. An added plus, I just discovered on an exercise, is that the darker your environment the brighter the lume, (maybe flourescent lights charge it more[?]). The secondary loop on the strap has loosened a bit now though, which is my only criticism.

Very good watch, has all the features. At first could not get used to the rubber band, I am ok with it now. I rather have a SS bracelet any time.

Purchased a similar style watch (TAG) for my husband this past Christmas (approx. $700) and although it was ok – it was not as nice as this one – so I paid the difference of $150.00. If you want something for going out, not really the watch for you, this is instead a nice athletic style watch; something you can wear everyday.
Be weary of the face size as well. My husband really likes big “manly” faces and this one was just big enough. I believe 44 mili.
