The best TAG Heuer watches to buy in the UK (2026)
Formula 1, Aquaracer, Carrera, Monaco: TAG Heuer's four big collections do very different jobs. This is which TAG Heuer to buy and why, starting with the least expensive and working up to the Monaco, with the best for men and for women.

We don't sell watches. Links to retailers are affiliate links: if you buy after following one, the retailer may pay us a commission. You pay the same price, and no brand or retailer pays to appear. How this works

The best TAG Heuer for most people is the Aquaracer Professional 300: a 300-metre dive watch with a COSC-certified automatic movement and an 80-hour power reserve. Under £2,000, the light-powered Formula 1 Solargraph. For a classic, the Carrera, and for the icon, the square Monaco.
Every watch here is sold new by Goldsmiths, a UK authorised TAG Heuer retailer, and almost all come with TAG Heuer's 5-year guarantee. Prices are Goldsmiths' own on the date shown.
How we chose
We looked at every TAG Heuer Goldsmiths has in stock and picked the best of each collection on what you actually get: the movement, the power reserve, water resistance and price. The facts come from Goldsmiths' and TAG Heuer's own descriptions. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes the price you pay. The guide starts with the least expensive TAG Heuers and works up.
TAG Heuer's collections explained
| Collection | What it is | Movements | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formula 1 | Sporty entry range | Quartz, solar or automatic | £1,550 |
| Aquaracer | Dive and everyday sports watches | Solar, quartz or automatic | £2,600 |
| Carrera | The classic, born in 1963 | All automatic | £3,050 |
| Monaco | The square chronograph | Automatic | £7,000 |
Under £2,000: Formula 1
The Formula 1 is the least expensive way into TAG Heuer. The quartz version is 41mm, water resistant to 200 metres and tough enough for anything. Our pick is the Formula 1 Solargraph: Goldsmiths' description says it uses TAG Heuer's own calibre TH50-00, which runs on light, with a sapphire crystal and 100 metres of water resistance. At 38mm it suits most wrists.

£2,000 to £3,000: Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph
The Aquaracer is TAG Heuer's dive and everyday collection, which Goldsmiths says was relaunched in 2021. The Professional 200 Solargraph is water resistant to 200 metres and powered by light, using the same TH50-00 calibre, so there's no battery to change and no winding. Every Aquaracer, from the Professional 100 to the 500, is compared in which TAG Heuer Aquaracer to buy.
£3,000 to £4,000: Carrera and Aquaracer Professional 300
This is where TAG Heuer is at its best.
The best TAG Heuer overall: Aquaracer Professional 300. A 42mm dive watch, water resistant to 300 metres, with what Goldsmiths describes as a COSC-certified calibre TH31-00 and an 80-hour power reserve. Take it off on Friday and it's still running on Monday. That's a lot of watch for the money.
Carrera. Goldsmiths' description says the Carrera was born on the racetracks in 1963. It's TAG Heuer's classic: every Carrera at Goldsmiths is automatic. This 39mm three-hand model uses the calibre 5 and is water resistant to 100 metres.
£5,000 and over: Carrera Chronograph and Monaco
Carrera Chronograph. The chronograph is what the Carrera was made for. This one uses TAG Heuer's Heuer 02 automatic movement, which Goldsmiths says has an 80-hour power reserve, in a 44mm case with a ceramic bezel.
Monaco. The square Monaco is TAG Heuer's most recognisable watch. Goldsmiths' description says it takes its inspiration from the 1970s models made famous by Steve McQueen. This 39mm version has the Heuer 02 movement with an 80-hour power reserve and 100 metres of water resistance.
For every Carrera compared, from the three-hand to the 39mm Glassbox chronograph, see which TAG Heuer Carrera to buy.
The best TAG Heuer watches for women
Aquaracer Professional 200 (30mm). A small, sporty Aquaracer with a mother-of-pearl dial, water resistant to 200 metres, with a quartz movement.
For something dressier, the Carrera Date 36mm is an automatic with diamond-set hour markers, and the calibre 7, which Goldsmiths lists at a 56-hour power reserve.

How we write these guides: every watch is one you can buy new from a UK authorised retailer. Prices and specifications come from the retailer's own product page, and anything extra comes from the brand's website. We check prices and stock every morning, but they can change, so the retailer's page always has the final word. No brand or retailer pays to appear.
