Bicester – Shopping – Jewelry & Watches
I like the TAG shop at Bicester and try to drop in very so often.
Don’t ask me why though: the stock is very limited, and parking is a complete nightmare unless you are there at the crack of dawn. The shop is tiny, the staff are generally fairly short term (they must turn them over at a hell of a rate as they never have any real depth of product knowledge) but the products, ooh the products.
The raison d’etre of this shop is not to be cheap – it’s not that cheap! No. I think the reason this is here is that its’s cheaper than billboard advertising. Plus where can you shout more effectively to the yummy mummies in their SUVs as alongside the car park at Bicester Village?!
I’m being a little tongue in cheek; we have bought here a few times and enjoyed the experience. I would definitely buy from them again if they had what I was looking for. I love TAG watches – sturdy and reliable, and they don’t scratch when you whack them off stuff while fixing the car!

Hi,
I bought a Tag from Bicester a couple of weeks ago – Ladies Link Series – saved 38% on retail price. Whilst talking to the staff I found out the watches there are end of line, display models and sample pieces. In addition they do other brands which I don’t think move as quickly as the Tag’s. Beauty is you still get the 2 year warranty which includes that battery – will be replaced for free if it stops within 2 years. I had to go back to have a link taken out. There was no fuss, even though I went back after a month, didn’t even ask for my receipt. Had I gone anywhere else I would of no doubt been charged. Tag have a counter in Harrods and Selfridges should you need a battery replacing. Anywhere else and they need to send the watch away because of making it waterproof after the batter has been inserted.
Hope info helps?……….I love my watch – got the blue mother of pearl face and steel bracelet – and yes they can take a bashing! Wear mine everyday and love it to bits……
