I don't think you can, all you can say is that it's accurate when reset with the time signal, in between it could be wildly inaccurate.

The accuracy of the watch is +- 15 seconds a month. Which equates to roughly +- 0.5 seconds a day. Yes it could become way out between calibrations but this would then mean that the watch is faulty, which could happen to any watch.

The OP hasn't been back* you can all relax and stop bickering.







*He didn't have enough time. :rotfl:

If people keep replying to me and talking about me it would be rude not to read and reply to these posts .
I don't see the point in making a new thread about it, it's not a particularly interesting topic.

When I worked in the Middle East, you used to get a free watch with 200 cigarettes. Sometimes, the cigarettes would last longer than the watch!

It's only stupid if you can't really afford it, some people spend that amount of fags a year, now that really is stupid.

I'm with you on this.

Marliepanda has made a good post about your rights. Warranty may be out of the question, but you will be covered under SOGA if you meet the criteria (the retailer, given item is costly, may offer you some leeway with this). Worst case scenario is that you'll need an independent fault report to show that it was inherently faulty.

But to comment on the part I quoted;

I am gobsmacked. There are people in this world living in poverty and you pay 2k to tell the time (wouldn't even be bothered if you weren't being nitty by trying to get recompense here! If you can afford to pay 2k to buy a watch then you must be well off, in which case a £377 bill is nothing - you're obviously not a truly rich person if you don't just pay £377!). I pray that you and your wife are charitable. If you have 2k to spend on a watch (I thought my apple watch was pushing it!) then you must be fairly comfortable money-wise. The bill for repairs is thus not astronomical for you.

I will, however, happily take my comments back if it was an anniversary/wedding gift etc... Something of true significance. But given TAG's website seems to imply F1/sporty watches I think it is just for status. If it is for status then you've just dropped the ball by not automatically paying the £377. I could wear a £2 watch from Tuebrook market and be richer than you...

Why should the OP not spend that on a watch if that is what they enjoy?

When you buy a car do you buy the cheapest option? Do you only eat own brand goods? Do you drink alcohol? DO you buy your clothes at charity shops? Do you live in the cheapest house in your city?

People like to spend their money on different things, its the way of the world.

Totally don't get this thread ..
Watches are nothing more than jewellery these days. Everyone has the time on their phones that is most likely far more accurate than any watch as is constantly updated from ntp servers ..


If its just a "bling thing" then get yourself a lovely rolex submariner for 169 quid from here for example

If you really must have the time on your wrist, then for 2k you could have bought 5714 of these :-





And worn a BRAND NEW one on your wrist every day for over 15 years !!

I disagree with watches just being for jewellery it is very invonvient to have to get your phone out your pocket everytime you need to look at the time. It is also impractical to do this when I'm at work because I would have to stop work to do this each time instead of just looking at my wrist.
So therefore I have a watch that is just as accurate as the time on my phone (as expired earlier in the thread).

But I do agree with the second part of your post!

Your right, jewellery and telling the time.


Don't do copies or cheap crap either.
