The Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 is the Swiss watchmaker's second smartwatch after the, which according to Tag's CEO Jean-Claude Biver actually sold pretty well. So it's keeping the Wear love affair going, this time introducing a new modular design that lets you customise pretty much every element of the watch. It's crammed with more features as well, including GPS to track your outdoor workouts and NFC to make payments from the wrist. Essential reading: The Intel-powered modular smartwatch is also part of a small group that's already running on, Google's major smartwatch OS update. Price when reviewed: £1,400 One thing that hasn't changed is the price.
You buy a Tag watch, you expect to pay big for it. Prices start at €1,600 and can go all the way up to £15,000 if you really want to splash out. We were big fans of the original, so does the second Tag smartwatch raise the bar for Android Wear?
Here's our comprehensive verdict on the Connected Modular 45. Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45: Design and build There's no getting away from the fact the first Connected was a gorgeous looking smartwatch, something that at the time you couldn't say about a lot of smartwatches, let alone Android Wear ones. Thankfully Tag delivers on this front once again. Read this: You'll find all the same luxury design hallmarks, from the logo emblazoned on the crown to the bold matte black ceramic bezel. It's every bit a Tag watch and we've had more compliments and inquisitive glances at this smartwatch than any other we've strapped on recently. It really is a beauty and you'll only know it's a smartwatch when you get a little closer and spy the touchscreen display. The 45mm body still makes it one of the biggest Wear watches around, and at 13.75mm thick it's still one of the chunkiest as well, no doubt to accommodate the extra sensors on board.
But it carries that extra heft well. We tried out the titanium strap model and was surprised by just how light and comfortable a watch it is to wear during the day and even in bed. It's undeniably still a watch designed for men, but the good news is that a smartwatch will be launched before the end of the year. While the 2015 edition initially came in just a few styles, before a rose gold model was introduced, things now get a lot more customisable. The new modular design approach is not just about swapping watch straps. You can pull out the lugs, the buckle and even swap the digital screen for an analogue one. (Which, yes, turns it into a wristwatch.) There are small buttons well concealed within the design that unlock various parts, so they don't break up the slick watch aesthetics.
• • • Tag says there are 56 different looks you can create, leaving plenty of room for customisation. While changing lugs or buckles might sound quite cosmetic, the idea that you can swap digital screens for an analogue one is one way of solving that smartwatch battery conundrum, that's for sure. The good news for swimmers is that the new Tag, unlike the original, is waterproof. You can take it for a dip in the water up to 50 metres and after a pool session and some shower time it survived to tell the time without issue. Tag does offer a sporty black rubber strap option so you might want to opt for one of those rather than a calfskin or a titanium one if you're planning to work out with it a lot.
Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45: Display The screen on the first Tag smartwatch was by no means the best in the business and was one of the few areas we were critical of. Well, things have improved on the display front for the Modular. There's now a 1.39-inch, 400 x 400 resolution AMOLED display wrapped in scratch-resistant sapphire cover glass.
