Great review, I like the changes on the final production watch like the date and the more visible new logo!

 

I really like this, though I rather liked the red edged bolts on the prototype. Very smart. I quite like the thicker bezel too, that was always my problem with Carrera's...

 

One change that was not mentioned in the preview article is that the new version looks darker. Specifically, the gears and the dial background (underneath the gears) are now dark grey instead of silver. But then, it might just be the lighting was different in each picture.

I liked the Tag Heuer logo on the sapphire glass in the earlier prototype. I don't think I've seen that on any other watch. The logo would have rubbed off eventually, though.

 

Could they not have etched the logo on the inside of the glass though?

Anyway, it's lovely, I'm going to start saving my pennies!

 

Good review, like the final design a lot more, but this is still ruined by the 02 for me.

 

Ablogtowatch.com posted a review of the Carrera Heuer 01. Note, though, that they reviewed the model shown at Baselworld 2015, not the new one discussed here at Calibre11.com (where one difference is the logo was moved from atop the sapphire glass to being under it).

The TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 is clearly intended to be marketed to two key demographics: first, fans of the brand who have been looking for something new with a new design from TAG but at a price that is at last more reasonable; and second, to that vast number of younger generation watch buyers who are getting into purchasing more high-end timepieces, are looking for a brand with a strong and relevant modern identity, but at a price level that is more affordable than the brand they wanted to enter previously.

The users' comments are brutal, by the way. Brace yourself.
