I do like Tag Heuer watches, I really do. They are sporty, whilst retaining enough class to wear in any situation. You can take a Tag Heuer places that a G-Shock can’t easily go because of the look. I have no idea why Tag Heuer decided to jump on the cellphone bandwagon. Watches and cellphones have very little in common except that cellphones do tell time and you get the occasional cellphone watch. What were they thinking?
Assuming that these pictures are not a hoax, which I do not believe they are, Tag Heuer has gone out and designed the ugliest high price phone on the market. Sure, there is leather and stainless steel, but at the end of the day it comes down to one thing; it is a cellphone and it is an ugly one at that. I don’t care for the shape, I don’t care for the style and I certainly do not care for the price. Design-wise, it looks like the Nokia I owned ten years ago. Sure it has a sapphire screen, but who cares?
$6,000 is too much to pay for a cell phone. I spend, on average, about $100 when I get a cellphone. Frequent use points and the fact that I have been with my provider (AU) forever keep the price down, so I can get a good model for that amount. I change my phone every year or two. With the sticker price of the Tag at $5,338 to $6,123, it would have to survive fifty or so years to make it financially worthwhile. The Meridiist loses in the looks department and it loses in the price department, so it doesn’t really have a whole lot going for it. Obviously I will be steering well clear of this one.

I do like Tag Heuer watches and in fact own one. The Meridiist supposedly echoes the features of a Tag watch like sapphire crystal screen and stainless steel body. But with that kind of price, though, i expect the phone to be also water resistant to 200m! Without that, forget it.

The article is retarded and probably comes from someone who has no money to begin with so I guess that’s why the harsh comments. I just don’t see how you can judge something you have never even came in contact with. This whole article should be deleted until an actual “Review” has been made. What a weak site. blah…

The same comment could be given to pricy watches – hey, there are japanese quartz watches costing $10,- – but still people buy Swiss quality. The price is indeed a bit high, though, but if it comes down to two grand i think i’ll buy it.
