Check out my new TAG...also, how many of you gals wear a men's watch?

I just got this TAG Heuer Aquaracer yesterday, and I wanted to share it with you guys! I love, love, love it! I looked at several women's Heuer watches, and they were all so small! The date window was absolutely microscopic! My old Movado (which had seen better days) was a men's model, so I am used to large watches. This lead me to a question: how many of you ladies wear men's watches? If you're one who does, why did you pick a men's model over a women's model?

Nice! I love Tag Heuer It looks great on you.

I normally like larger watches, too, even though I have very small wrists. I like the oversize look I guess. But I'm getting a Movado for Christmas and decided to go with the ladies Juro style. I guess because it's a dressier watch, I like the more feminine look. However, when it comes to sporty watches, I really like how men's watches look on women.

It's gorgeous - I really like the aquaracers. I have a ladies model in pink MOP with diamond markers and absolutely LOVE it!!!!

When I was in high school, I loved big watches - I didn't own anything fancy, but I always looked at watches and thought, no baby, I want an oversized one!!

But now, I actually own very small faced watches, all ladies models. I was interested in a Longines (one of the new sporty models) and was looking at those but they have only released the mens models at this stage and they were seriously huge! The watch face went waaaaay over my wrist. So I don't think I can really work the larger sizes now - funny how tastes change...

The only thing I wish this watch had was a cyclops lens over the date like Rolex has. It makes seeing the date so much easier. However, I imagine that Rolex probably has a trademark on that feature, which would explain why you only see it on their watches. I can read the date okay though. The date was ridiculously tiny on the women's TAGs.

Come to think of it, I noticed this particular Aquaracer is quite similar to the two-tone Rolex Submariner with blue dial and bezel. I looked at that watch while in the store buying this one, but Rolex is way out of my price range. Even so, I think the blue color on the TAG is prettier than the blue on the Rolex. The hands are also easier to see on the TAG.

DBF and I match now (sort of). He just recently bought himself an Aquaracer too. However, his is the all-stainless caliber 5 automatic with black dial and bezel. That's also a lovely watch, but I am a such a sucker for the royal blue and gold combo.

Congratulations on your new watch! I, too, have the pink AquaRacer with diamond markers and LOVE it.

Men's watches seem to big for my wrists, but I do like how they look on others, so maybe it's just a matter of carrying the look off well.

I love your watch! I love oversized watches. I bought the 38mm J12, which is really huge for a ladies watch... I guess it's considered "unisex", but I admit that the size isn't as feminine as the smaller 32mm version. I don't regret it at all. Bigger watches stand out more to me!

Love your GMT2! I love Rolex in general, but even an all-stainless model is more than I can afford. DBF has a an Oyster Perpetual Datejust in stainless steel with a rhodium dial. I so envy him!
