Tag Heuer Connectedby Tag Heuer
PROS
- It's a gorgeous watch that delivers old-world Tag Heuer craftsmanship in a smartwatch form factor. And it looks like a watch. You can't tell it's a smartwatch from a distance.
- The transflective display is always on, and the display is readable in all lighting, including direct sunlight.
- It has a faster processor and more memory than most smartwatches, making it snappy and responsive.
CONS
- It costs $1500 and doesn't deliver much you can't get in a smartwatch for $300 except the name "Tag Heuer." (So if that's what you care about, none of the cons really matter.)
- At 240 dpi, the display is not state-of-the-art sharp. Indeed, you can see pixels upon close inspection.
- The watch lacks heart rate monitoring and other advanced fitness features.

By normal watch standards, however, it’s far from overpriced. In fact, it sits at the entry-level end of the luxury watch spectrum, so watch lovers might consider it a bargain. And it’s these people the TAG Heuer Connected is aimed at.

One final point - which almost goes without saying - the display is round, leaving Apple way out on its own now in the round versus square debate. The Apple Watch still manages to look iconic but for how long?

A great looking and feeling smartwatch that's way out of the price range of most casual tech buyers. For our money, it looks like a better stab at such a thing than Apple's more expensive Watches.

The Tag Heuer Connected is really let down by its low-resolution screen. The 1.5-inch screen has a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels. That creates a pixel density of 240ppi, which is pretty bad. In comparison, the Huawei Watch has a ppi of 286, and the Samsung Gear S2 and 42mm Apple Watch have 302 ppi.

If you're looking for a good Android Wear watch, you don't need to spend $1,500. It's completely unnecessary. That's not to say the Connected is a bad device -- far from it. Its build quality is fantastic, and it's comfortable in addition to being stylish. It's just that nothing about the experience feels worth that kind of money.

Tag Heuer's watch is powered by an Intel Atom chipset, which is unusual for a smartwatch - the recently announced Fossil Q is the only other wristputer to run on an Atom.

As an added perk, those who buy a Tag Heuer Connected can swap it for a mechanical Swiss Made Carrera watch, with real Swiss movement inside, at the end of Connected's two-year warranty period.

The sensors include an accelerometer and a gyroscope, but no heart rate monitor which is definitely a letdown for fitness-oriented buyers. The watch is also advertised as having IP67 water resistance.

My wrists aren’t small, but the Carrera Connected was on the edge of being comically large. The slight-of-wrist will absolutely need to try it on first, unless they’ve no intention of actually wearing it.

The TAG Heuer Connected isn’t going to be for everyone and it never was supposed to be. That’s 100% OK, too. The good news is that if you are a part of the target audience, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

With a range of dial options and an always-on screen state, the TAG Heuer Connected offers the user something to connect with all the time – and that is very important.

Experiment or not, the Connected is the start of Swiss brands dipping their toes into the smartwatch world. And if smartwatches are going to succeed their traditional forebears, they are going to need to be available to anyone considering a watch, no matter what cost they are prepared to pay.

The Tag Heuer Connected is an expensive luxury gadget, but that's what luxuries are. But it's also the Android Wear device we want to wear. And when it comes to watches, wanting to wear it is the most important thing.
