Tag Heuer Connected (2020) Review | Stylish Swiss Smartwatch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Review of the new Tag Heuer Connected smartwatch, a 2020 refresh of the original Wear OS watch packing that premium Swiss design. You've got an almost comprehensive range of fitness tracking and golf fans are especially well catered for. But the Tag Heuer Connected 2020 is also one of the most expensive wearables around at £1500 in the UK.
So is it worth that cash? Well, if money isn't a problem and you're into your golfing and Swiss style, then this is the smartwatch for you. For the rest of us, your best option is to go for a cheaper Wear OS option like the Fossil Gen 5. This packs just as many great features and full Wear OS support, at a fraction of the cost.
Still, I've enjoyed using the new Connected for this review. The exclusive watch faces are smart and fully customisable, while the Tag Heuer sports app is a slick, simple way to track your exercise sessions.
What's your favourite smartwatch right now? Let us know what you're rocking on your wrist and check out my videos on some of the other great wearables you can grab right now.
I'd expect to spend that on a genuine analogue Tag watch but not on a fossil gen 5 in a fancy casing. Keep up the good reviews--I've purchased 2 items off the back of your reviews and not disappointed 👍
As a former owner of this watch (sent it back to TH) let me add one advice. Don't buy it. Besides all the problems that you can read about on the Internet (battery, connection, BT), it is a china-made (not Swiss made) and is based on the chipset, or rather SoC, which is several years old. You may read that the Snapdragon 3100 is a slight modification of the 2100, with no significant improvement. In other words, with Snapdragon 4100 already available, what you get is a half-backed OS (Wear OS is another story), which is running on the old and ineffective processor.
Wow , was planning to get it , but not anymore , thanks for letting me know , for that price i wanted it to be swiss made not bs china made wtf
I nearly ordered it today but wanted to sleep on it since nothing would be shipped for next 6 days due to holidays.
However after learning it is Chinese made amd NOT made in Switzerland, then it is not worth thr price of nearly GBP1995!
Appreciate your diligence and help.
I don't this it is China made. Tag wouldn't risk their reputation by doing something like this
My Tag Heuer Connected has had connectivity issues since purchase. Terrible product. OS is poor and constantly in repairs. Avoid this product like the plague. Biggest purchase regret in my life.
Walked into a TH store in Zurich with the intention of purchasing this watch. When I asked the sales person to tell me about the watch, he was actually honest about the watch's shortcomings. I thanked him and left. He saved me 2 grand and countless headaches. I was very grateful.
For that price, you can get 1.5 or 2 Garmin Fenix 6x pro solars with the titanium and orange silicone band, better apps, better battery life, 1/2 the screen resolution which you might not notice, swim tracking, SPO2 monitoring, sleep tracking, basically twice the watch for half the price.
And I bet the Garmin can last decades compare to tag which I would assume 5 years
great review, going to cnacel my order after watching this due to lack of battery life and tracking abilities, thanks for a good review
Hope you review the Connected E4 that comes out tomorrow, this was the best E3 review.
I’ll stick with my garmin. That looks great and the scrolling is much better for texts but the gamin has more features and my battery lasts over two weeks. Was just looking at alternatives as I’m thinking of upgrading to a marq
Hoyer, not Hewer :)
@SavageArfad No. Even in English it's pronounced Hoyer.
The way he pronounces it sounds like he's about to throw up. He should have researched how to say it
SavageArfad Edouard Heuer was Swiss, and there are multiple vintage Heuer adverts in English which even state on them “Say Hoy-er”

It’s tag hoover !
Bought this watch after your review, even better Tag are now selling it at £1050, as the new model is now out. Thanks 😊 Jim
I have 2nd gen and battery is really really poor. Hopefully new one improves it.
I own mine in its the best purchase I've ever made besides my house lol but it's a great smart watch and I get a lot of compliments on it if you on the fence about this watch I would definitely buy it it's worth it
Is it true that it is China made?
Thank you for the review . What is ur wrest size and lug to lug for the watch?
I appreciate your help. Your review was informative.
I am a big Tag fan, but I wouldn’t shell out that kind of bread for a digital smart watch. You’d be better off buying a Tag Formula or Aquaracer for that money, and getting a $100 Fitbit for your other wrist.
Great review and I would almost think about purchasing. One reservation, mainly because of the hefty price tag... having gone through 3 generations of Samsung Galaxy watches, could this watch become redundant in a couple of years?
Has to be the best looking smart watch I’ve ever seen.
Then try the fossil gen 5 explorist hr
I don’t like the big buttons on it, brings the look down
rudradave TAQ looks way better. Not even close.
Lmao no, Huawer GT2 Pro stands out in every possible way. Also it's wayyyyy more afforable with almost exactly the same features. And it has a speaker and 14 days battery life :)
Honestly, as a gen2 owner, this is a total insult. Made in China (no longer Swiss Made) steel v titanium, complete abandonment of the modular concept, dated processor... no speaker or lte... and they raised the price. A commodity wear os device at 4x the cost-- Avoid at all costs!!!
The problem with smart watches at £1000-£2500 is the tech is outdated year after year and resale value nose dives so you’re much better spending your money on a classic watch such as an aqua racer for the same money.
Bought it with the silver band, then purchased the rubber band. Reason, the silver band is $1,950.00 vs the rubber band @ $1,850.00. The silver band as an accessory is $450.00, the Rubber band is $100.00. I also adjusted the silver band myself, tricky but do able. Otherwise you need to take the sliver band to a Tag distributor for adjustment. What I like about the watch is that I track my steps. I have and Apple Watch and the activities that do on the Apple Watch, including my steps are transferred to the Tag Watch, however the opposite is not true. My final thoughts is that I love the watch.
Not buying because of the brand pricing. Plus tech value will be diminish by time.
How long do you think it last
I will buy it because i am rich..
Got the e4 on order for next week in stainless Steel got a big watch collection and looking forward to it . Reason for getting it excuse the pun but the doctors have said I have to keep an eye on my ticker
Gotta love this guy...gold tooth to afford the spare straps lol. I love your sense of humour and channel which is very informative. Question...which watch would you recommend that has all these features: Blood pressure, ECG, SpO2, Sleep monitor, GPS, Bluetooth, Waterproof, AMOLED, Music, Long battery life, Fitness monitor and Multiple sports modes. I know this is a long shot but if you know of any kindly let me know. Thanks.
If you want a luxury smart watch look for the new Porsche design. Full titanium, measures oxygen, battery lasts about 2 weeks, and not too bulky as Tag. Price is 700 euro
In two minds on this one - can you do a review of the Tissot T Touch solar connect and Garmin Epix 2? Heard a rumour that the 2022 Tag connected will have a longer battery life too(?)
The finish is unbelievable. Tag is luxury brand.
Great review ... just a lil bit annoyed with the pronunciation way ( swiss ears perspective - sorry ) 🤭 and just wanna say swiss ( German ) pronunciation 😬 Heuer supposed to read as : ( Hoyer )
you had it correct when you were saying tag ho yer and then a bit in start calling it a tag hew er. overpriced by about £ 900 nice looking watch but for the price no speaker and apps no good to myself i will stick to my g shocks and tag ho yers as dress watches. but thanks for the video as your views are quite good.you have one of them voices that should be on the radio doing commercials. cheers
For that price, I would rather buy a TRUE Tag Heuer watch (automatic)
agree
@@sandeep_raman This is just a regular smartwatch stuffed inside a Tag Heuer case and sold for £1500. A mechanical/automatic watch is more complex and has more values than this.
For a quarter of the price, you can get a similar or better smartwatch.
The first generation gave a free swap out for a normal Tag innards after a set number of years for free and it was cheaper than this one.
The TRUE Tag Heuer watch (automatic) you are talking about has a cheap mechanical movement stuffed inside a Tag Heuer case and sold for the same price as the Connected :)
@@jokensy101 and what happens in 5 years when this is old and slow a real watch would be the same
Compare it side by side to a Galaxy 46mm Watch and they're almost the same in terms of design.
Galaxy watch is far better than this overpriced piece of laggy junk... All you are paying for is the brand name... Complete and utter rip off.
Love the look of the watch and would consider splashing out the premium price but not sure if the battery would last a four to four and a half hour round of golf in GPS mode. Can anyone advise?
Should I upgrade my 2 year old Mobvoi Ticwatch for one of these? (second hand gen 3)
No LTE option is a deal breaker for me, and I suspect for quite a few others. I wanna wear my smart watch when going out for a jog and not have to bring along my phone just to receive calls and messages.
That's exactly why I am not going to buy this watch ever. No speaker? No phone functionality? I don't see a reason to own this watch ( or should I say expensive toy? )
It's the usual. For what it offers, I still believe the apple watch is not that expensive (I got a Series 3, and have compared it to some WearOs devices and, no colour)
What's the deal this time around with their trade in? Previous (or first version - dunno which gen this is) entitled purchaser to upgrade to Carrera for a nominal fee. Was actually quite the incentive. Has that gone the way of the dodo?
I want to upgrade to the newest $2500 version. What features does this have compared to the Garmin Tactix Bravo that I use for HALO/HILO and gold?
Looks pretty nice but I don't think it's possible to think this is worth anything more than £350 let alone £1500. Hopefully someone else can make something that's properly premium looking without a stupid price.
Apple I watch £400.
@@wcoke apple watch isn't worth £400 and it doesn't make this worth it either
Thinking of getting one, could you do a review on guys with small wrists & how it would look. Maybe a review on module 41? & just a thought you need to get out on the town 🤣
Definitely comes off as a bit rubbish. Loved the review. I’m loving my Garmin more now. Cheers!
Was excited to get it , not anymore thanks to tue review , bruh at that price i should be able to call a space shuttle on command 🤣
Heard about it can’t wait to get them.
I like it. I like mechanical watches but you should never take a mechanical on a hike or a run--hence why I'm looking at this one. Does seem a bit dear though. I would want some sort of discount at an AD.
Great review! Love mine, can't wait to see Google improve this more.
FYI - Golfing 'establishments' (courses!) are open...
I’m getting a used one off eBay instantly
swiming stoped me looking further 15000 pounds and cant track swiming sucks.
1500 EUR Swiss watch that MADE in CHINA!
The dropped the ball by making in China. For $1800 American, I expect it to be made in Switzerland, like the rest of the brand Tag Heuer.
I LOVE how classy this watch looks BUT it has some major downsides for the amount of money your spending. This watch NEEDS to throw in the kitchen sink for $2000. Battery life cant suck. You cannot spend all this money on a watch and it will barely last a day. Once you start sending/receiving a bunch of texts that alone will run the battery down. Another major downside is NOT being able to make/take phone calls. Even if you cant reply to messages you should be able to use the watch to take and make phone calls. I cant wait for Samsung to come out with a sophisticated watch like this that includes ALL of its features.
Gear Wave With your phone never being to far away from reach, use that for the ‘phoney’ bits! Enjoy the watch!
No speaker for 1500???
Exactly mien point!!
Omission of a speaker allows it to be waterproof to 50m. Most smart watches are only water resistant due to speaker/sensor openings which can allow water ingress under pressure.
Which is better, this or Hublot Big Bang E?
Lovely review
Well hold you were close. The best thing you could score is a hole in one, then comes an osprey, then a eagle, then a birdie, and so on
Is it worthy to change from Tag Heuer 46 modular to 45 modular?
2k is mad. An extra £1700 for the name!
Did you find the new Tag display to be brighter then the Fossil Gen 5 when it comes to outdoor viewing?
1500 pounds for a watch that needs charging every single night. My... My....
not for your poket factory worker, I think you can afford Samsung Watch 😀
What is your point?
@@Mr_Ali_G what is my financial status is not your concern. It is foolish to pay that money for a watch that needs to be charged every single night. BtW, i own Garmin 6, with around 2 weeks battery lasts. GREETINGS
@@Mr_Ali_G or, lets put it this way.... 2 Garmins for that one and a change leftover , or around 6 Samsung Watch for Tag Heuer. And still to charge device every Day.... 😂
Miroslav Vukadinovicvhhklu. x, , I don’t need 6 crappy watches. Just one TAQ.
How long does the face stay on without touching it?
What cellphone is the one he's using here?
The worst thing about this is that they abandoned the Modular 45 design... Completely effing all the people who invested in the line that had implied longevity. Why they didn't release a Modular 45 compatible v3 module is beyond me. A-holes.
For that price you can get 3 Samsung watches that have LTE, have microphone and speakers, and you can "do laps' swimming.
Is this watch compatible with the Apple IOS system.
Mine arrives tomorrow 😁
I like my Tags but the fact it's actually made in China puts me off of buying one. If I'm buying a Swiss brand then I expect it to be Swiss made.
I'm not in anyway against China, their workmanship is amazing before anyone has a pop!
Agreed, Swiss watches, we understandably want them made in Switzerland. Tag Heuer normally plays up the Swiss-made quite a bit, no reason for them to get a pass on this model, especially given the price.
@@speedzero7478 Omega are now having their bracelets manufactured in China, which to me, shouts out cost cutting! Providing it’s 51% Swiss made then they are legally allowed to have it printed on the dials. At least I know when I buy Japanese brands there’s no chance that 49% was made in Switzerland 😂
@@Zeriod101 I heard this one. It's true? I certainly hope not.
@@speedzero7478 Unfortunately true!
1.5 GRAND?!? That's a bit dear, innit?
I am very disappointed with the battery life. There are days that lasts only 8 hours, depending on the face I am using. I never had that kind of problem with the iwatch which is five times cheaper. The only face that endures is timekeeping that reaches more than 24 hours but the rest are a disaster. If I could return it I would do it without thinking twice
So is this basically a Google watch with a tag badge and digital face? And for the money it doesn't track swimming? And you need to charge every night. Am I missing something? I'd rather have a daily swiss and a garmin for sport
Get a regular tag and I watch for fitness
Exactly!
Which model you recommend chief?
It is compatible with iphone?
I used connected watch and this really dissapointed. It is not reliable. The bezzel, case and LCD are easily comeout when it drop. Look like it simply failed by simple drop test. Dont waste your money.
Nice review. Cheers
Hewer?, skew el, bewk. Non Sunderland folk, won’t understand that. I think it’s pronounced Hoyer, , as in, hoy a amma ower ere. Great review.
Cannot figure out lap times ?i am a formula 1 fan
Where can I steal one of those?
10% of the price are for the watch itself and 90% for the brand name!
Sorry but the Galaxy Watch 46 does everything and has a speaker for 1/4 price.
Is this only for Android?
I want one but I can't afford one
Good video, but don't really understand why you show your face so long, instead since you're describing connected watch why don't show only watch without
your face ? Thx for sharing.
Bought a garmin marq purely due to battery life of this.
Interesting
Thanks for sharing :-)
My sympathies for the paid reviewer and people spending 1500 just for brand
Value for money 300 usd at max
Syed Qamar Ali Abbas $1500 for a TAQ is cheap.
maitrehg a normal tag maybe but a smartwatch can never be a luxury since you can’t use it for centruies
You have a Fantastic voice!
🤣
where is it made?
What is price in Pakistan
How do I get the heart rate monitor to track my heart rate all day so I can see it on my display?
Just buy the Samsung smart watch. Download one of the tag look alike faces and boom you have a 2k smart watch.
Sold! Roll on July :D
80% of the purchase price is for the name alone, £4£ tech4tech look4look the Galaxy 2 46mm beats the brakes of it hands down, you could cop one of those spend a few £s to customise to your liking and have at least £1200 to spend towards a whole list of items that would be money better spent, a top of the line Drone, electric bike, mountain bike, electric scooter, an entry level Gibson guitar, a 5 star weekend in a country retreat, a four star for two in santorini, two High class call girls to visit you in your home or your garden shed or a season ticket to your local football club, the list would never end instead of paying for another round of drinks for the designer sitting on the Tag yacht off the coast of the Virgin islands having a laugh at your expense. And just remember every single function on any watch you buy exists on your phone so regardless you're paying twice for the same shyt......🥸 ask yourself why.
Does anyone know if you can store and replay music on the Tag Heuer connected please? Thanks
No, it doesn't have a speaker!?
Would love that
No speaker!? So no alarm or other audible alerts? WTF...
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the Tag Connected and any other smart watch out there other than the $2300!! Bloody rip off!!! Here in Aus it is currently $2900. Love the brand, not the price of this rip off though!!
That's crazy 2,350$ 2.550$ and there's no diamonds are gold on it not I rather keep my samsung galaxy gear frontier only problem that sucks is the bixby 🗣️🎙️ 😒👎🏾 any other wise it's a good smartwatch just my opinion 👌🏾👍🏾👌🏾🤘🏾🤟🏾💯😁 😷
lets have class discuss class!
Fentaboules Review 🆒️🖐
"Tag Hior" 😂
🤣🤣
1500 and charging every night?? Nah Garmin Fenix is fine
Garmin displays aren’t in the same league.
cant believe for that price there's no speaker on it.
"how to get that triple bogey" 😂😂😂
Defo not a golfer haha!
When you buy a Tag Huer you don't just buy a watch. You buy a Tag, a watch with extremely rich history and guaranteed quality.
What!!! 1500 pounds smartwatch is not good to buy this day unless maybe if the battery will last for 30days. There is always a new and updated smartwatch every quarter. Even Huawei GT2 will win over this watch if we disregard the brand. I would rather buy Honor Magic Watch 2 over this or Garmin smartwatches.
It's quite ugly, looks old and not its price. Certainly better looking and well built Wear OS watches out there.
