The best review for the E4 by far, and thanks again for the review, which I needed bc it's vastly different from what I'm use to coming from the galaxy Ultra. Cheers
Just got myself a 42mm e4. Can’t wait to get it and this review has been awesome. Nice work and thank you answered several thoughts and questions I’d had.
Thank you! I actually have 1 more review to do on the 42mm Titanium and WearOS 3. Been playing catchup while juggling a heavy workload on my full time job, but I’ll have more E4 content this spring. Thanks again.
@@DougFNJ awesome. Your content is truly more in depth than anywhere I’ve found, so keep it up! Would you say it’s been worth it for you over the last year, and has the update been good (barring the removal of Google assistant)?
@@shaunfarrell I really appreciate that, thank you. There are limited resources for hands on with these, so I try to get detailed. I do these reviews with a mindset of what I’d like to see if I couldn’t get hands on. The update is faster for sure, smoother. I like that I don’t need 2 apps. I find I get better battery life, I never used Google Assistant or Google pay, so those are 2 features I didn’t miss , but there were people that weren’t happy with those changes. BUT, they warn you multiple times before you update what you’ll be losing.
Thanks for the in depth review, that was very helpful. Are there any shortcomings you have since found (or heard of) when pairing/using with an iPhone? I’m a bit bored of the Apple Watch now, and I have stopped wearing it as my daily choice. This looks like an interesting alternative (albeit at a different price point!). Cheers.
It’s very capable, the best pairing to me from a technology standpoint is Apple Watch with my iPhone. But the E4 changes it up physically. It looks more like a watch where Apple Watch looks more like a device strapped to your wrist. You get more fitness features with Apple Watch, but I like the fitness tutorials on E4. You can reply to iPhone texts on Apple Watch, but I rarely do that. I can talk on the phone with the Apple Watch, but I rarely do that. Look at my video that compares the Apple Watch to the gen 3 Tag Connected, I get into the differences. I’ll be doing the same with this and Apple Watch Series 7. Thanks for taking time to comment.
Great review. I've watched it probably 5 times already. My question, though, is in regards to the face customization of the Heuer 02. I really want to replicate the watch face from the E3 for the Carrera...with the red second hand and the red dots above the indices (at 3:19). Can that be done with this E4, too?
Thank you David. The Heuer02 is mostly the same as the E3. You can definitely get the second hand to be red with the red background. Unfortunately trying to replicate the face, the dots above the indices are not colored.
Thanks for the reply, Doug. I've ordered the titanium one anyway. Should be here today. My Carrera Heuer 01 was stolen and I really wanted to recreate the look. I'll make the best of it.
@@D4V1D-TN You're going to love it David! Sorry to hear about the Heuer 01. I would definitely suggest insuring your watches on their own policy if you don't already. Please let me know what you think!
Hi, I'm looking at this watch but wondering if you believe there is a newer version coming out soon. Great review, got my sub and looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Question , like the apple watch can you remotely listen to music without the need of a phone? Looking to buy something mainly for running / sports. Omega seamaster not really fab for that.
With iPhone, it works as a remote, but I don’t believe you could listen to music straight from the watch. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong on that.
Thank you Art! I take it you are referring to when you swipe down from the Home Screen? It changes with your brightness settings. If you have Auto off, then it changes to screen brightness. With auto brightness on, it defaults to find my phone. Wish I covered that, but figured it out after the fact.
I would love to have this watch but 1 day battery life is horrible. I know it probably does alot more than my Fenix 7 but it's hard to beat the 15day charge and sleep monitoring.
The 2 biggest platforms are WatchOS and WearOS, and both top off at 1-3 days max if you change settings for best efficiency to conserve. Garmin gets the battery life, but the platform has a steep learning curve, it's very difficult to learn and work with, and I found it very buggy. Tissot Solar Connect also has great battery, but very limited smart functions. I really wish the top 2 would work on a goal of a week long battery life at least.
Nothing can beat the Garmin smart watch battery life. I’m hooked 😅 I have a Forerunner 245 Music for years now and it’s like an addiction. The new 2023 245 is nice design though.
I thinking on buying this watch. I had a lot of Questions you covered everything I was wondering about! In your next review could you go over the warranty where you ship the watch for repairs if needed and does Tag Heuer have good support and repair services!? Thanks !! Again Awesome review !!
Thank you very much Retro! To get the training animations, go to the Tag Heuer Sports App, go into Fitness, you will see them when you start one of the Fitness programs. It's helpful.
U did a great job giving as a nice detailed review of the Tag heur E4. I have the tag heur connected 3, titanuim grey. Would u advice me for an upgrade or do u think I should skip this watch for a more advanced version of Tag heur connected in 2024?
Thank you u67ma. For me, it's a worthwhile upgrade. Brighter screen that is much more legible in sunlight, better processor, much better battery life, and the ability to upgrade to WearOS3 when it releases. If you are only wearing it for fitness, or minimal wear, I'd stay with the 3, but if you wear it a lot, you will notice the differences.
Unfortunately there is no speaker, so you cannot take calls directly on the watch itself, but you can get the call notification, and press to answer on the watch, but pick it up on the phone.
Really want to get the 45mm Titanium because of the battery life is slightly better than the 42mm. But my wrist is so small little less than 7” . Do you think 45mm is too big? Thank you.
To me, the size of the watch is always subjective. If you suspect it will bother you, the 42 is the good option. If you can access a Garmin to try on, it’s similar size, you would be fine this the E4 of your ok with that.
Thank you for your reply. I think I will go with 42. And up for this day, they made 42 in Titanium very tuff decision to pick between the steel or Matt black😂. Really like your review good job sir!
It does run on iPhone, all the footage was done using my iPhone. Most functions work, it will always be a better experience using Android for then Google OS ecosystem, but it’s very functional with iPhone.
@@DougFNJI don't see anything for GPS navigation when using the watch. Is there any Google or Apple Maps integration? One thing I like about the Apple Watch is it will show next turns/distance on the watch and haptic notification for next turns
I plan to do an Apple Watch comparison, waiting to see what Apple puts out next month. Would also really like to do it when WearOS 3 releases. Stay tuned. In the meantime, I did a comparison of Apple Watch vs E3.
Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me how often to charge the new E4 connected, in normal use? I have a Garmin Fenix 6, and the battery lasts for almost a week. Thank you.
You typically want to charge it at night, sometimes you could pull two days out of the battery depending on usage. Garmin watches are more power efficient than pretty much any smartwatch I could think of.
Typically anything that would display on your phones notifications are able to get pushed to the watch. I’m not familiar with how NFT’s work, unfortunately I’m not much help there.
There is no LTE version yet......I heard somewhere they may be working on that for the next version. You can use it to control multimedia, and I believe you can make calls if you have an Android phone, but you cannot make calls from an iPhone. Same thing though, works as a remote capacity.
Great review! I'm looking at the Tissot solar connect and the Tag. The Tag's battery life is terrible compared to the Tissot. Probably the biggest downfall, oh, and the China thing! You got me to subscribe, looking forward to seeing your other videos!
Thank you Michael! I also did a review on the Tissot. That is a great watch in its own way, the battery life definitely blows away most smartwatches....but it is not a true smartwatch, I look at it more as a standard watch with some smartwatch features. Once you get into fitness features, heart rates, GPS, custom faces, etc, it is hard to balance size and battery life. E4 is much improved over E3, and it is expected that when WearOS 3 drops, it will make more efficient use of the processor which should bring it better battery life. Thanks again for watching and subscribing!
Well thank you Ragdoll, my nail is a hot topic this review. Many appreciated concerns on my well being. No, it’s not a fungus, it’s not a medical condition, it’s a thumb that got slammed in the car door of my Mom’s Caprice Classic back in the 80’s as a kid and has been this way ever since. Which version do you like?
@@DougFNJ I always like the 42 or smaller versions of watches. I have a Tag Link Cal 6 and a Cartier Tank in addition to my Samsung Galaxy watch II so smaller watches appeal to me. I hardly wear the Galaxy watch because it is too big. Glad to know your hands are ok. Sorry about the slammed thumb accident... we've all overcome something...me a broken back... You would look great handling the watches wearing gloves..you set yourself up as a sort of hand model doing these reviews...so you might as well own it. Your voice and delivery are great btw.
Does anyone know what it looks like with update warranty on this watch? How long can you expect approximately with updates? Does anyone have longlife experience with previous models?
Previous model has the older chip. There will be bug fix updates on E3, but cannot upgrade to WearOS 3 due to that processor. E4 has the newest processor, will be able to upgrade to WearOS3 as only a few WearOS watches on the market will.
Very good review. My only constructive advice would be to use black gloves for these reviews, as other serious reviewers are doing. The distraction gets minimized and the object analysed gets much more visually emphasized. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, I always appreciate feedback. It’s funny, when I see the reviews with those wearing gloves, I get more distracted by the gloves. Something unnatural. I also believe they are using the gloves because they dealers selling those watches in a lot of cases. I’m not completely closed minded to the idea, a friend of mine threw that suggestion at me. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment.
That’s the highest priced version, there are lower cost versions. Yes, made in China, but it’s not cheap Chinese garbage. Compare to other smartwatches, it’s premium quality.
@@DougFNJ maybe, but they need to tell people it’s MADE IN CHINA, don’t lead people to thinking it’s some Swiss made time piece. And one more thing, I don’t of anyone that would knowing pay $2800 for a Tag watch made in china mass produced. I think you know this. You must work for the Chinese.
@@jimsmith5502 I don’t work for Tag Heuer, or any of the manufacturers of the watches I review. iPhones, Apple Watches, Mac computers are all made in China. I watch the keynotes when Apple announces their new products. I’ve never seen them reference in their keynotes that these mass produced products are made in China. It’s on the box, and on the product. Tag Heuer is a luxury watch maker. One looking to purchase a Tag Heuer of any type is going to pay a premium for that product. If you look at my review of the Tag Connected Gen 3, every other comment is a complaint that it’s made in China. They likely make or not make their purchasing decision based on that. I’ve never been one that cared personally as long as it’s a quality product like every Apple product I own. All made in China, all high quality. Sadly, if a company wants to use a chip that will support the OS platform, that’s the direction they have to go. Tissot on the other hand made their watch 100% in Switzerland. They have the chip maker out there, the materials, all of it. But they had to create their own platform to do so. The problem with this is it’s got 1/10 the capability of Wear OS.
This gives you the best of both worlds. It’s like getting a Tag case and straps with a processor instead of movement. I wish Apple would start making a more watch looking watch. I appreciate them too, but it’s time for a hardware update.
It’s a nice looking smartwatch and the watchfaces are incredible, but it lacks of any interesting… smart functionalities. They should completely outsource the sensor manufacturing to Samsung. I want ECG, blood-oxygen levels, BIA, body temperature and sleep quality. I’m not spending 2000€ for something that is less advanced than an average 500-600€ smartwatch
I don’t disagree, I take the watch for what it is, notifications, some good fitness tracking, and great faces. They could definitely improve this watch dramatically.
Thank you for watching. I'd do a comparison video, but I use an iPhone, and Samsung Galaxy is not compatible. That and the materials used are big differences. That is not saying Galaxy watch is bad, just not for everyone.
Figure with heavy use about a day, light use with turning off always on display, 2-3 days. That is apparently supposed to increase when WearOS3 releases.
So I've owned this watch in the past and I can definitively say that it's NOT worth the premium price. Smart watches are obsolete in a year or 2 as the newer versions release. The main manufacturers like apple and Samsung do a FAR better job on the smart watch features and design, and make products that are a fraction of the cost (even for their premium versions). Buying into this platform is ridiculous when you factor in that it will be undesirable in a year or 2 and worth nothing.
Samsung is just another brand like Tag that uses Motorola processors and WearOS. They are a fraction of the cost because of cheaper materials, and there is a premium on the brand. It’s all relative of course. It’s like saying a Timex does the same as a Breitling.
Fail if those are the features you are looking for. May I ask what watches do all that in one device though? I might be interested in reviewing one. 😬👍
@@DougFNJ the new Huawei watch gt3 pro has the ability to do all the above . and imo looks just as good as the TH 45.. 42mm tag is superior though .. perfect watch size.
DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH! I bought this giant POS this time last year. You cant see it in the sunlight, the battery life is terrible, doesnt even last all day for me sometimes. Its a PITA to constantly charge. Your hand constantly bumps the crown which is a button that starts the health ap, so you wind up running the app unintentionally which drains the battery even further. The more apps you run, the faster this thing dies. Yeah, it looks nice, I got lots of compliments on it. But then, after 1 year the watch suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. So I sent it back to Tag Heuer for "warranted" repairs. After 2 weeks there, they sent me an email and estimate for over $900 for repairs, stating they were not warranted with no explanation as to why. This is not the service I expect when I spend $2000 on a watch. Especially from a big company like Tag Heuer. Ive been a fan of Tag for over 25 years. I own 2 other analog watches (A Kirium Chrono, and an Aquaracer), but this will certainly be my last Tag.
E4 improved on the deficiencies of the previous E3 being some of the cons you mention. Sunlight visibility and battery were poor before and much improved now.
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.
@@OmarOmar-jl3so You could ask that about anything. Why would someone buy a $10k Rolex when they could go to Walmart and buy a $25 quartz Timex that does the same thing with better rated accuracy? It’s a high end piece. The design, the quality, the materials, made by a high end brand that makes a great watch. Tag isn’t a tech company that makes watches, they are a watch company that made a move that appeals to plenty of Tag enthusiasts who want a Smartwatch. It’s not for everyone…including a lot of Tag enthusiasts. It’s another option available. I use an iPhone which makes using a new Samsung smartwatch impossible because they don’t support it. I have a G-Shock with WearOS, love having the option of a smartwatch that could take a beating. I have a Ticwatch which is a great smartwatch, but it looks and feels cheap. I love the functions of my Apple Watch, another great option with a lot of choices in colors, bands, and materials, but it looks like a device on my wrist. This works out great for something that wears and looks like a real watch with great configurable Tag Heuer faces that is very functional.
Thanks mesoangry, when you look in the details that I took the time to chapter out, you could skip the unboxing and right to the content you are looking for.
This Smartwatch is pure rip off, nothing else. Besides this, a Smartwatch who need almost daily dose of power, is just a crap (independent of the price tag).
Every smartwatch has trade offs. The Garmin will get you more battery life, but the faces are limited, and the interface has a steep learning curve, not to mention the bugs. The Tissot offers 30 day battery life, but there are many limitations. Hopefully WearOS offers enough power saving function to be able to push 3 days.

Thank you. It does have GPS, but I’m not familiar with the app. If it typically works on Android watches, it would definitely work on this.
Can use the chronograph on the watch face as it is done in mechanical chronographs?
Yes, you would touch the screen to start it, touch the screen again to stop it, and double tap the screen to reset.
Thank you! Very helpful!
How can I tell if the one I'm buying is a 2022 version? Online stores do not always specify what version it is.
If it is not specified E4, it may not be. Send the online store an email, or purchase directly from Tag.

Unfortunately on iPhone, there is no replying. But on Android, it should come up automatically as an option.
Can the e3 charger be used with the e4 watch (as a travel charger)
Sure, lays the watch on its side and the display rotates to the side like a clock
@@DougFNJ thanks meant the E3 charger. Does it work for the E4 ?
Anyone can share the cycling fitness tracking? Is it any good to track distance and other usual KPIs?
Weather has been very inconsistent here, Ive used different watches on a few rides. This weekend, I'll make sure to bring my E4 and let you know.
Does it do sleep tracking and step count and such?
Step counts yes. Sleep tracking would be done through third party apps.
Can you do an E4 vs Apple Watch 7 comparison?
I plan to do an Apple Watch comparison, waiting to see what Apple puts out next month. Would also really like to do it when WearOS 3 releases. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, I did a comparison of Apple Watch vs E3.
A solar panel behind the dial to recharge would have been GREAT !!! Casio, Citizen Seiko have it !!!
Module on this are so much simpler. Solar in these make the Watch larger, and with the power consumption, the solar charge would be minimal.
Not sure why Tag Heuer wouldn't have just waited until September and release with Wear OS 3 which just rolled out.
I guess it was ready to launch, and fully functional with the existing software.
Just curious, how does it go with apple iphones?
Works fine, that's what I've paired it with in all the videos. Ideally works best with Android, but perfectly fine with iPhone as well.
Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me how often to charge the new E4 connected, in normal use? I have a Garmin Fenix 6, and the battery lasts for almost a week. Thank you.
You typically want to charge it at night, sometimes you could pull two days out of the battery depending on usage.
Garmin watches are more power efficient than pretty much any smartwatch I could think of.
How do NFT's get displayed on this watch?
Typically anything that would display on your phones notifications are able to get pushed to the watch. I’m not familiar with how NFT’s work, unfortunately I’m not much help there.
Is it true that the battery of this only lasts 1 day to 1 day and a half?
It depends on usage. Ordinary day could get 1-2 days average. WearOS 3 is supposed to improve battery life when it releases.
Can you make calls, listen to Spotify and google podcast? Lte version, bluetooth headphone pairing?
There is no LTE version yet......I heard somewhere they may be working on that for the next version. You can use it to control multimedia, and I believe you can make calls if you have an Android phone, but you cannot make calls from an iPhone. Same thing though, works as a remote capacity.
Great review! I'm looking at the Tissot solar connect and the Tag. The Tag's battery life is terrible compared to the Tissot. Probably the biggest downfall, oh, and the China thing!
You got me to subscribe, looking forward to seeing your other videos!
Thank you Michael! I also did a review on the Tissot. That is a great watch in its own way, the battery life definitely blows away most smartwatches....but it is not a true smartwatch, I look at it more as a standard watch with some smartwatch features. Once you get into fitness features, heart rates, GPS, custom faces, etc, it is hard to balance size and battery life. E4 is much improved over E3, and it is expected that when WearOS 3 drops, it will make more efficient use of the processor which should bring it better battery life. Thanks again for watching and subscribing!
DOES 42mm have Poorer Battery Life?
Yes, smaller battery, but the difference isn’t dramatic as it also has a smaller display.
Does this have always on display?
It does, that can affect battery life, but I personallly prefer it.
What's the battery life of the 45mm ?
Could easily get a day, longer than that depends on how you use it.
How can I eliminate the pin password I’ve set ?
Should be settings, general, security, and screen lock off. If you have Google Pay active, its required.
What’s the release cycle? 2 years?
They are saying the E5 will be looking at 2025
@@DougFNJ thank you
Great review...informative/clear/concise...now let's discuss your nails...
Well thank you Ragdoll, my nail is a hot topic this review. Many appreciated concerns on my well being. No, it’s not a fungus, it’s not a medical condition, it’s a thumb that got slammed in the car door of my Mom’s Caprice Classic back in the 80’s as a kid and has been this way ever since.
Which version do you like?
@@DougFNJ I always like the 42 or smaller versions of watches. I have a Tag Link Cal 6 and a Cartier Tank in addition to my Samsung Galaxy watch II so smaller watches appeal to me. I hardly wear the Galaxy watch because it is too big.
Glad to know your hands are ok. Sorry about the slammed thumb accident... we've all overcome something...me a broken back...
You would look great handling the watches wearing gloves..you set yourself up as a sort of hand model doing these reviews...so you might as well own it. Your voice and delivery are great btw.
Would you buy right now a 42mm for 1000€?
Considering they start at $1900, that’s a very good deal.
Does anyone know what it looks like with update warranty on this watch? How long can you expect approximately with updates? Does anyone have longlife experience with previous models?
Previous model has the older chip. There will be bug fix updates on E3, but cannot upgrade to WearOS 3 due to that processor.
E4 has the newest processor, will be able to upgrade to WearOS3 as only a few WearOS watches on the market will.
Did anyone managed to get WhatsApp preview messages on the screen? I get notifications but not the full message. Can’t read it
Unfortunately I don't use WhatsApp, but you may want to reach out to the developer on that.
Very good review. My only constructive advice would be to use black gloves for these reviews, as other serious reviewers are doing. The distraction gets minimized and the object analysed gets much more visually emphasized. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, I always appreciate feedback. It’s funny, when I see the reviews with those wearing gloves, I get more distracted by the gloves. Something unnatural. I also believe they are using the gloves because they dealers selling those watches in a lot of cases. I’m not completely closed minded to the idea, a friend of mine threw that suggestion at me.
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment.
It's probably hard to operate the watch features with gloves on!
What's the cost on this?
There are many versions at different cost points, go to tagheuer.com for pricing.
Does it work with ios ?
Yes it does, that’s what I use.
Anyone notice how stiff the bracket is? I have rubber bracket but thinking of the steel but looks so stuff. Any issues?
On paper the display is identical, I've compared them side by side and see no difference
That’s correct, just the size.
very detailed but description is too fast
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try to slow them down a bit.
What people need to know is this new Tag Connect golf watch is $2600 and it says on the back of the watch“ MADE IN CHINA”
That’s the highest priced version, there are lower cost versions. Yes, made in China, but it’s not cheap Chinese garbage. Compare to other smartwatches, it’s premium quality.
@@DougFNJ maybe, but they need to tell people it’s MADE IN CHINA, don’t lead people to thinking it’s some Swiss made time piece.
And one more thing, I don’t of anyone that would knowing pay $2800 for a Tag watch made in china mass produced. I think you know this. You must work for the Chinese.
@@jimsmith5502
I don’t work for Tag Heuer, or any of the manufacturers of the watches I review.
iPhones, Apple Watches, Mac computers are all made in China. I watch the keynotes when Apple announces their new products. I’ve never seen them reference in their keynotes that these mass produced products are made in China. It’s on the box, and on the product.
Tag Heuer is a luxury watch maker. One looking to purchase a Tag Heuer of any type is going to pay a premium for that product.
If you look at my review of the Tag Connected Gen 3, every other comment is a complaint that it’s made in China. They likely make or not make their purchasing decision based on that. I’ve never been one that cared personally as long as it’s a quality product like every Apple product I own. All made in China, all high quality. Sadly, if a company wants to use a chip that will support the OS platform, that’s the direction they have to go.
Tissot on the other hand made their watch 100% in Switzerland. They have the chip maker out there, the materials, all of it. But they had to create their own platform to do so. The problem with this is it’s got 1/10 the capability of Wear OS.
China (ccp) is corrupt so I will not support them or things that are manufactured there.
The electronics are made in China. Not the entire watch. The case and bracelet are made in Switzerland. Says so on the case. You both are wrong.
I really do like it... but it's quite expensive... rather pay 2x more and get a proper tag.. and spend 1/3 of the price on an apple watch as a daily.
This gives you the best of both worlds. It’s like getting a Tag case and straps with a processor instead of movement. I wish Apple would start making a more watch looking watch. I appreciate them too, but it’s time for a hardware update.
It’s a nice looking smartwatch and the watchfaces are incredible, but it lacks of any interesting… smart functionalities. They should completely outsource the sensor manufacturing to Samsung. I want ECG, blood-oxygen levels, BIA, body temperature and sleep quality. I’m not spending 2000€ for something that is less advanced than an average 500-600€ smartwatch
I don’t disagree, I take the watch for what it is, notifications, some good fitness tracking, and great faces.
They could definitely improve this watch dramatically.
Overpriced Chinese watch Garmin smartwatch are the best ones at the moment period
That’s a poor battery life. Just a day! Why can’t they give a bit longer so u could use it for sleep recording.
I’m hoping WearOS 3 extends it long enough where you can do the sleep tracking.
Great video! "iphone messages are read only"... bye bye Tag
Thanks Daniel! Happy these videos help one way or the other for decision making
I dont think it can compete with the Galaxy watch.
Thank you for watching. I'd do a comparison video, but I use an iPhone, and Samsung Galaxy is not compatible. That and the materials used are big differences. That is not saying Galaxy watch is bad, just not for everyone.
Battery life guys
Figure with heavy use about a day, light use with turning off always on display, 2-3 days. That is apparently supposed to increase when WearOS3 releases.
So I've owned this watch in the past and I can definitively say that it's NOT worth the premium price. Smart watches are obsolete in a year or 2 as the newer versions release. The main manufacturers like apple and Samsung do a FAR better job on the smart watch features and design, and make products that are a fraction of the cost (even for their premium versions). Buying into this platform is ridiculous when you factor in that it will be undesirable in a year or 2 and worth nothing.
Samsung is just another brand like Tag that uses Motorola processors and WearOS. They are a fraction of the cost because of cheaper materials, and there is a premium on the brand. It’s all relative of course. It’s like saying a Timex does the same as a Breitling.
Test
It works
Ok thanks
No sleep tracking no ekg no body temperature wow fail!
Fail if those are the features you are looking for. May I ask what watches do all that in one device though? I might be interested in reviewing one. 😬👍
@@DougFNJ the new Huawei watch gt3 pro has the ability to do all the above . and imo looks just as good as the TH 45.. 42mm tag is superior though .. perfect watch size.
DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH! I bought this giant POS this time last year. You cant see it in the sunlight, the battery life is terrible, doesnt even last all day for me sometimes. Its a PITA to constantly charge. Your hand constantly bumps the crown which is a button that starts the health ap, so you wind up running the app unintentionally which drains the battery even further. The more apps you run, the faster this thing dies. Yeah, it looks nice, I got lots of compliments on it. But then, after 1 year the watch suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. So I sent it back to Tag Heuer for "warranted" repairs. After 2 weeks there, they sent me an email and estimate for over $900 for repairs, stating they were not warranted with no explanation as to why. This is not the service I expect when I spend $2000 on a watch. Especially from a big company like Tag Heuer. Ive been a fan of Tag for over 25 years. I own 2 other analog watches (A Kirium Chrono, and an Aquaracer), but this will certainly be my last Tag.
E4 improved on the deficiencies of the previous E3 being some of the cons you mention. Sunlight visibility and battery were poor before and much improved now.
amerikans can read amerikan english and that's it. the ones who can. tag heuer reads as "teg hoier".
Algorithm
My Tag Heuer Connected has had connectivity issues since purchase. Terrible product. OS is poor and constantly in repairs. Avoid this product like the plague. Biggest purchase regret in my life.
Sorry to hear your having issues. Have you reached out to Tag??
Nothing but a samsung smart watch
If you compare the 2 watches side by side, you might think differently on that. But we all have our opinions.
@@DougFNJ I am talking about the basic functions of the watch
@@DougFNJ why would anyone pay 2000$ for a smart watch....basically that has the name tag?
@@OmarOmar-jl3so You could ask that about anything. Why would someone buy a $10k Rolex when they could go to Walmart and buy a $25 quartz Timex that does the same thing with better rated accuracy?
It’s a high end piece. The design, the quality, the materials, made by a high end brand that makes a great watch. Tag isn’t a tech company that makes watches, they are a watch company that made a move that appeals to plenty of Tag enthusiasts who want a Smartwatch. It’s not for everyone…including a lot of Tag enthusiasts. It’s another option available. I use an iPhone which makes using a new Samsung smartwatch impossible because they don’t support it. I have a G-Shock with WearOS, love having the option of a smartwatch that could take a beating. I have a Ticwatch which is a great smartwatch, but it looks and feels cheap. I love the functions of my Apple Watch, another great option with a lot of choices in colors, bands, and materials, but it looks like a device on my wrist. This works out great for something that wears and looks like a real watch with great configurable Tag Heuer faces that is very functional.
Don't want to watch unboxing pal cut to the good stuff.
Thanks mesoangry, when you look in the details that I took the time to chapter out, you could skip the unboxing and right to the content you are looking for.
This Smartwatch is pure rip off, nothing else.
Besides this, a Smartwatch who need almost daily dose of power, is just a crap (independent of the price tag).
Every smartwatch has trade offs. The Garmin will get you more battery life, but the faces are limited, and the interface has a steep learning curve, not to mention the bugs.
The Tissot offers 30 day battery life, but there are many limitations.
Hopefully WearOS offers enough power saving function to be able to push 3 days.
Lug to lug distance for the 42 mm? Can’t find it. Thank you. A
20mm. Keep in mind, the bar is fixed.
@@DougFNJ No, not the lug width, lug-to-lug distance…less than 50 mm? Just to make sure fits my small wrist. Thanks a lot again!
