What we like about Tag Heuer Connected

  • Luxury design and build quality that closely mimics traditional mechanical watches
  • Premium materials including titanium cases, ceramic bezels, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
  • Highly customizable and 'stunning' watch faces inspired by iconic TAG Heuer heritage models like Carrera and Formula 1
  • Excellent physical ergonomics with responsive crowns and pushers for easy navigation
  • Fast and reliable GPS connectivity, particularly praised in later models like the Calibre E4 and E5
  • Comfortable, infinitely adjustable deployant clasp on rubber and leather straps
  • Trade-in program that allows owners to credit the watch's value toward a mechanical TAG Heuer after a few years

What we don't like about Tag Heuer Connected

  • Extremely high price point compared to smartwatches with similar or superior technical features
  • Rapid technology obsolescence makes it a poor long-term investment compared to mechanical timepieces
  • Battery life typically requires daily charging, which can be a hassle for sleep tracking
  • Fitness and health tracking accuracy (heart rate/steps) often trails behind dedicated sports brands like Garmin
  • Limited smart functionality for iPhone users compared to the Apple Watch ecosystem
  • Large case sizes (often 45mm+) and significant thickness can feel bulky on smaller wrists
  • Occasional software bugs and lack of advanced features like ECG or blood oxygen in some models

Verdict

The TAG Heuer Connected, specifically the Calibre E5, is a luxury smartwatch featuring a 45mm or 40mm stainless steel or grade 2 titanium case with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a 1.39-inch (454x454 px) or 1.2-inch AMOLED display. It runs on the proprietary TAG Heuer OS powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 5100+ chipset, offering dual-band GNSS, a heart rate monitor, and 50m water resistance. Main pros include its high-end Swiss craftsmanship, 'Made for iPhone' (MFi) certification for seamless iOS integration, and specialized high-performance sports and golf tracking apps. Main cons are the lack of third-party app support and contactless payments due to the shift away from Wear OS, as well as a high luxury price point and battery life that typically requires charging every 1.5 to 2 days.
