They all come together to add nice visual accents to a very handsome Tag Heuer Aquaracer Automatic watch .Visibility is first-rate during daylight hours as the black on yellow hands are very readable. Each hand has a distinct shape, so there's no confusion at a glance. Unfortunately, the skeletonized hands are a little hard to read in the dark since "Circle means hour" and "blob means minute" takes time to interpret mentally. I prefer solid lume-filled hands, myself, but this is far from a deal-killer.The bracelet is another thing of delight. It's first-rate, and very comfortable for a watch at this price point. It has a slip-lock wetsuit extension similar to the one on the Seiko Orange Monster, and four micro-adjustments for fine-tuning. Additionally, it has solid links and endlinks, a pushbutton release with flip lock, and, like the rest of the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Automatic watch, a nice combination of finishes.
If you look a bit closer, you'll see a clear motif in the finishes of the steel: flat su***ces have a brushed finish, and bevels are mirror polished. The bracelet follows this same pattern which makes it both interesting and understated. The case is particularly detailed, with mirrored bevels, brushed flat su***ces, and a nicely textured bezel for friction.Speaking of the bezel, this is one of the best I've experienced on any Tag Heuer Aquaracer Automatic watch, including much more expensive Seikos. Looking closely at the profile, you see that the teeth are triangular with a rough finish. This makes it easy to grasp and rotate, which is a good match for the 120-click ratchet and perfect level of friction. It glides beautifully when you want it to, but it's not going to get jarred out of place easily. The font and printing on the bezel are also excellent and easy to read. Unlike most other bezels, every minute is marked, for easy and accurate timing — a very impressive and welcomed detail.There's a second motif of circular detail, as well: the yellow ring on the crown, the subtle reflective circles of metal around the hour markers, the circle of luminescent paint on the hour hand, the round covers on the lugs.
