In fact, one full day is all the Calibre E4 battery touts as hitting, meaning it’ll be a smartwatch you wear all day and charge while you’re sleeping. The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition also delivers the same 30 increased battery life as the rest of the collection with a full day of battery with each charge and five hours when using the golf features. There are two specific sizes of the Calibre E4, with both a 42mm and 45mm E4 model, each getting a screen supporting stronger contrast than the originals and allowing the display to be read inside and outside, pls the inclusion of an altimeter, heart rate monitor, compass, GPS, Bluetooth 5, and a battery that lasts a little longer on the larger model with support for as much as a “full day” when using some of the wellness and sport tracking features. It is purposely designed to still be crisp and visible even in strong sunlight. While not the first smartwatch from TAG Heuer, the latest forms part of its “Connected” range of wearables, with the latest, the Calibre E4, running on Google’s Wear OS, but bringing a look and feel made more in line with TAG’s mechanical watches, plus some health and fitness tech, as well. However it’s also something very different, with a smartwatch made by a company with 160 years of watchmaking expertise. We asked, and coming in at a starting price of $2600 in Australia, the TAG Calibre E4 is a model of smartwatch that most people probably won’t be able to afford. TAG Heuer has revealed its latest style of smartwatch, and much like TAG’s Mario-themed smartwatch, there’s no other way of saying it: “if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it”.
Over in the Android camp, there’s the Thom Browne edition of the Galaxy Watch 4, which we’ve only seen available in the US, and pushes the price up to around the thousand dollar mark in US dollars.Įach of those are smartwatches for big spenders, but there may be another option if you fancy an even more premium watch.
You can spend up big on an Apple Watch, opting for the Hermès edition which starts at $1869, and there’s always the regular Apple Watch Series 7, but with a titanium case which pushes the starting price to $1269, both of which deliver a slightly more premium style of Apple Watch if you have extra money to spend. The world of premium high-end watches is itself a thing, with thousands upon thousands able to be spent on a beautiful piece of mechanical art for your arm and wrist, but it’s one that doesn’t quite have an equal in smartwatches. TAG Heuer’s latest smartwatch impresses with its look, but sits firmly in the exy camp, so much more so than other high-end models.
