In this video I’m looking at the TaG Submarine Ballpoint Pen—because I’m honestly tired of cheap plastic pens making an otherwise clean desk setup feel… disposable. The whole point of this pen is that it’s designed to live on your desk as an object, not vanish into a drawer. I walk through the industrial design, the machined aluminum body, and that distinctive Sonar stand that turns it into a proper “desk piece” instead of just another pen you toss in a cup. I also test the turbine twist mechanism, which is one of the main reasons this pen is so satisfying to use. It’s near-silent and feels engineered in a way that’s hard to describe until you try it—smooth, controlled, and weirdly calming. From there I do a writing test with the Parker-style refill, talk about refill options, and wrap up with whether this is just a beautiful object or a genuinely great desk pen. My takeaway: if you want a reliable writer that also looks like it belongs next to your keyboard every day, this one earns its spot.
