What we like about Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45

  • Exceptional build quality with premium materials like titanium and sapphire crystal
  • Highly modular design allowing users to swap straps, lugs, and even the watch head
  • Crisp and vibrant 1.39-inch AMOLED display with no 'flat tire' design
  • Water-resistant up to 50 metres, making it suitable for swimming
  • Built-in GPS and NFC for contactless payments via Google Pay
  • Exclusive TAG Heuer Studio for creating thousands of custom watch face combinations

What we don't like about Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45

  • Extremely high price point compared to smartwatches with similar technical specs
  • Battery life typically lasts only one day, often requiring nightly charging
  • Large and bulky 45mm case may feel too heavy or oversized for smaller wrists
  • Lacks a heart rate monitor, which is a standard feature on most fitness smartwatches
  • Non-rotating crown and bezel can make software navigation feel less intuitive
  • Performance can occasionally feel laggy when launching intensive apps

Verdict

The TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 is a luxury Swiss-made smartwatch featuring a 45mm titanium case, a 1.39-inch AMOLED display (400x400 resolution) protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and 50m water resistance. Powered by an Intel Atom Z34XX processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage, its defining characteristic is a modular design that allows users to swap the digital module for a mechanical Calibre 5 or Chronograph movement, alongside interchangeable lugs and straps. Main pros include its premium build quality, extensive physical customisation, and built-in GPS and NFC for payments; however, cons include its high price point, the absence of a heart rate monitor, and a battery life that typically requires nightly charging.
