Tag Heuer Connected is the first ‘luxury’ Android Wear smartwatch. It’s also the first smartwatch to boast an Intel chip inside. Here’s review of the Tag Heuer Connected www.gdwatchclone.ru.

Design

The Tag Heuer Connected boasts a 46mm case and lugs made from grade 2 titanium. It’s all covered by a crystal sapphire, eschewing the toughened glass of rivals in favour of something more luxurious. The Tag Heuer Connected measures 12.8 mm deep on your wrist, which is a fair old chunk of titanium, making it fatter than most Android Wear watches to date. However, the chosen material pays off and it only weighs 52g. Interestingly, the Connected comes with a black rubber strap, which can be changed for the colour versions shown above. These are, of course, sold separately.

Hardware

Intel Atom Z34XX processor. For silicon fans, it’s the same one found inside the Intel Edison development board, which was the platform for a host of wearable devices including the recently revealed Blocks. The screen itself is slightly underwhelming, and we don’t think anyone will mistake the Tag Heuer Connected for a Carrera Cal16 mechanical watch. The 360 x 360 LCD only boasts a pixel density of 240ppi, which already lags way behind the competition. 4GB of storage on-board – standard for Android Wear devices – and the Tag Heuer Connected is IP67 rated. Jean Claude Biver promised all-day battery life and it’s powered by a 410mAh battery, which should offer a minimum 25 hours battery life.

Software

The Connected runs Android Wear, a platform that hasn’t been known for customisation so far but Tag has done its best to make it as high end as possible. Unsurprisingly Tag has taken care over the watch faces with three digital faces in black, deep blue or pearl white available at launch. All show the date window and include other details from Tag Heuer’s Carrera watches such as the hands, index, chronograph counters and minute track to make the Connected look as much like a mechanical watch as possible.

Upgrades

The Android Wear smartwatch will be upgradeable, to extend the lifespan of the product. Tag Heuer’s tagline refers to eternity and the company says it was simply not willing to create a product that couldn’t last forever. Users can opt top have their Tag Heuer Connected changed for a mechanical watch in the future, should they opt not to upgrade to future Tag smartwatches.
