When purchasing a luxury watch like a TAG Heuer, one of the key considerations is the warranty coverage. Many watch enthusiasts wonder if TAG Heuer offers a lifetime warranty on their timepieces. In this article, we’ll explore the details of the TAG Heuer warranty and what it covers.
The TAG Heuer Limited International Warranty
TAG Heuer offers a Limited International Warranty on their watches, including the TAG Heuer Connected smartwatch line. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects for a period of 24 months (2 years) from the date of purchase.
To be eligible for the warranty, certain conditions must be met:
The international warranty card must have been electronically activated by a TAG Heuer Boutique or authorized retailer at the time of purchase.
The serial number engraved on the case must be perfectly legible, and no part of the original case back or serial number should have been removed, modified, falsified, altered, replaced, erased, defaced, or made illegible.
The warranty is valid worldwide in countries where TAG Heuer watches are sold, regardless of the country of purchase.
What the TAG Heuer Warranty Covers
Under the Limited International Warranty, TAG Heuer undertakes to repair any problem with the functions of your watch that results from a manufacturing defect, free of charge.
The warranty covers the following:
The watch’s digital module for two years from the date of purchase
The watch’s accessories (buckle, lugs, etc.) for one year from the date of purchase
However, the warranty does not cover:
Wear and tear and aging of the watch due to normal usage (e.g., scratches, corrosion, peeling, or alteration of color/material of non-metallic straps)
Damage resulting from abnormal/abusive use, lack of care, negligence, accidents, incorrect use, or non-observance of the use instructions
Watches handled by unauthorized persons or altered/modified from their original condition outside of an authorized TAG Heuer Service Center
Extending the TAG Heuer Warranty
While the standard TAG Heuer Limited International Warranty lasts for 2 years, it is possible to extend the coverage to a total of 5 years by registering your watch on the TAG Heuer website.
By registering your watch, you can benefit from a 3-year extension, giving you a total warranty duration of 5 years from the date of purchase.
To take advantage of the warranty extension, you must register your watch on the TAG Heuer website within 6 months of the purchase date.
Registering your watch also provides access to dedicated services and benefits, such as priority access to exclusive events and experiences.
In conclusion, while TAG Heuer does not offer a true lifetime warranty, the Limited International Warranty combined with the optional extension provides coverage for a significant portion of a watch’s lifespan. By understanding the terms and conditions of the warranty, TAG Heuer owners can ensure their timepieces are protected against manufacturing defects for up to 5 years from the date of purchase.
