The release is via pressing the 2 side buttons on the clasp. The strap does not have pin holes as the deployant clasp clamps to any position you select.
Again, a nice color match with the rest of the watch. And the strap is very comfortable due to its blue rubber underside. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M’s black nylon sail cloth strap has blue stitching which compliments the blue bezel and seconds hand.
The lume is quite good, and the intensity on the hour makers is the same brightness as the hands (which is not the case with all watches). The lume on the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M is blue with green on the tips of the hands and outboard on the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hour markers. And the case, bezel, and crystal all show my grimy finger prints, so I’m frequently wiping the watch to keep it shiny and purdy lookin’. Plus the flat sapphire crystal and the lovely, but shiny, blue bezel reflect light very strongly at the right (wrong?) angle. And there are a lot of shiny elements on this TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M watch – the hour markers, the hands, the bezel, and the sides of the case. You may have to spot the lumed tip to see the passing seconds. However, the blue seconds hand sort of gets lost with the black dial in some lighting conditions. Speaking of readability, overall legibility is very good.
It does make the hands a bit less readable but that’s always the case with a cyclops. There is a magnifier over the date at 3 which my old eyes welcomed. I found the “decking” pattern on the dial quite attractive and rather nautical. The unidirectional 120-click bezel has lume on the index pip. Sporting a blue ceramic bezel, a screw down crown, and 1000 feet of water resistance, this TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M is at home in the ocean SCUBA diving, surfing, or just going for a swim. I’ve worn this TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M watch every day for over a week now, and it’s both good-looking and comfortable, so it’s become a welcome companion. There is a lot to like about this watch, and of course, a few things TAG might improve upon. While it’s also available in other colorways, the blue and black of this particular reference seemed perfectly suited to the blue skies and deep blue ocean surrounding Maui. New this year is the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M with a ceramic bezel (hands-on here in more versions).
