Choosing between these two blue TAG wristwatches comes down to the kind of everyday function and dial style you want. Both are 43mm quartz watches with blue dials and rubber straps, but the Aquaracer centers on a date display and a stated 300m water-resistance figure, while the Formula 1 Red Bull Edition brings chronograph functionality, Arabic numerals, and a blue sunray-brushed dial.
Quick verdict
Pick the TAG Aquaracer Quartz Blue Rubber Strap Watch when a straightforward date function, baton markers, sapphire crystal glass, and the higher stated water-resistance figure matter most. Pick the TAG Quartz Chronograph Formula 1 Red Bull Edition when you specifically want a quartz chronograph and the Formula 1 X Red Bull Special Edition design direction.
The listed-price decision is also simple: there is a $100 spread between the two. The Aquaracer is the lower-priced choice, while the Formula 1 Red Bull Edition costs more for its chronograph-focused configuration.

Where each watch wins
The Aquaracer is the clearer pick for a streamlined daily layout. Its listed Date function gives the dial a practical focus, and baton markers suit shoppers who prefer a more pared-back display. It also has sapphire crystal glass and a stated 300m water-resistance figure.
The Formula 1 Red Bull Edition is the choice for chronograph interest. The title and description identify it as a quartz chronograph, with Arabic numerals and Formula 1 X Red Bull Special Edition styling. That makes it the more direct match when stopwatch functionality is central to the decision.
Product notes
TAG Aquaracer Quartz Blue Rubber Strap Watch
The Aquaracer makes its case with a clear, function-first combination: a blue dial, baton markers, quartz movement, and a stated Date function. Its rubber strap and fold-over clasp keep the configuration focused on a classic sporty wristwatch format, while sapphire crystal glass is another named component. Choose it if you want the lower listed price of USD 699.00 and place greater weight on the stated 300m water-resistance figure. Its limitation is its functional emphasis: the described function is Date, so it is less targeted to a shopper who specifically wants chronograph timing controls. The blue, baton-marker presentation is best suited to someone drawn to a restrained dial layout rather than the more graphic Formula 1 styling.
TAG Formula 1 Red Bull Edition Chronograph
The Formula 1 Red Bull Edition is built around a more feature-led visual and functional direction. It is described as a quartz chronograph in a 43mm stainless-steel case, with a blue sunray-brushed dial, Arabic numerals, and a rubber strap. Choose it when chronograph operation is a priority or when the Formula 1 X Red Bull Special Edition identity is the deciding style element. At USD 799.00, it sits at the higher end of this two-watch comparison. Its stated water-resistance figure is 200 metres, compared with 300m for the Aquaracer, so shoppers prioritizing the higher listed rating may prefer the other model. This is the stronger fit for a dial that puts sport-inspired details and chronograph capability up front.
Final choice by use case
Choose the TAG Aquaracer Quartz Blue Rubber Strap Watch for a blue quartz watch centered on date display, baton markers, sapphire crystal glass, and a 300m water-resistance figure. Choose the TAG Quartz Chronograph Formula 1 Red Bull Edition if your priority is a quartz chronograph, Arabic numerals, and the Red Bull Special Edition look. For shoppers deciding mainly by listed price, the Aquaracer is the lower-priced option; for chronograph-specific features, the Formula 1 is the more direct match.
