TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer Professional 300 Automatic Rubber Watch
Lower concern; typical sports watch with standard waterproofing, no PFAS disclosure risk identified, but no verification either.
TAG Heuer's Aquaracer uses stainless steel, rubber, and mineral components, materials with lower inherent PFAS risk. Waterproof watches may use PFAS in seals/gaskets, but the brand makes no public disclosure on this. No third-party PFAS testing or certification found for this model.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
