I bought this piece on back order back during Black Friday of last year. Finally restocked this week. Very interesting and fun addition to my collection. Most of my watches are sports watches or dress watches so this is very different from what I’m used to. It comes on a leather NATO and there is an additional nylon NATO included. Packaging was very nice and professional.

The watch face itself is very legible. The additional indices take some getting used to. The watch is pretty light on the wrist and the leather strap is very comfortable. The case is a big boy. The lug to lug is over 50 mm. That being said, the lugs are curved and hug the wrist. Fits well on my 7.4 inch wrist imo.

The lume is quite stunning as you would expect. After being outside for about 20 minutes the lume popped immediately as I walked into my garage. Definitely a tool that would be useful when camping or on an outdoor vacation.

Price seems right to me. Decent automatic movement, good finishing on the titanium case, two straps included, 200m water resistance. Definitely would recommend if you’re in the market for a field watch with a military aesthetic.

I recently had the good fortune of picking up this lovely piece. I own several nice watches but this is my first TAG Heuer. The fit and size are wonderful. When I compare it to my other chronographs (Breitling, IWC, etc.), this watch is incredibly wearable and fits comfortably under a shirt sleeve. In terms of negatives, there’s not much but I would say it feels a little flimsy and the clasp on the strap is not quite as nice as some of the other brands I own. That being said, it’s still a great watch, the dial is a knockout, and I am very happy with the piece. Might pick up the OEM bracelet to see if that feels better than the strap. I am also very interested to see the other collections TAG Heuer offers given the first model I tried out was very impressive.

My Pinky cleared customs and was delivered today. I have been waiting on this one for a couple of months. Marloe did a great job on the packaging. Some fun”Haggis” graffiti. Here are some initial impressions.

Feels very comfortable on the wrist. It has a slim profile and a nice leather strap that’s not too stiff out of the box. The date wheel is fun to play with. The little Haggis guy on the crown is a fun touch.

The case is very polished and catches the eye, and the color combo of blue, pink and black feels very casual but stylish to me. Maybe not something I would wear to work, unless it was casual Friday. The case is small enough that I think it would comfortably fit a smaller wristed person of any gender but it also feels well sized for my 7.4 inch wrist. Seems like a good watch for anyone looking for a fun, casual piece to add to their collection.

I wanted to share some pictures of my new acquisition. Haven’t seen too many pictures of the AB01381E1G1P1 outside of official media. I really like the look of the off-white against the red and gold accents, and the black subdials. The one thing I find curious is why an extra strap was included that is so similar in color. Basically only the stitching is different. 🤷‍♂️ But overall I am super happy with the piece.

I was also impressed by Breitling’s new packaging. The brown leather is a big improvement over the blue felt.
