2017 Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 Smartwatch Review

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 is big, it's expensive and, yes, there are cheaper smartwatches that do more. But this is hands down the most attractive Android Wear watch on the market right now. The best replica Tag Heuer watches at captainthewatch.is.

We loved the chunky and sporty looks of the Connected and the Modular 45 repeats that Carrera-apeing design.Unlike many of the other Android Wear watches, it's in design that Tag really makes a statement. There isn't a sense of "that'll do" or compromise about it, it feels as though it has been designed and considered by a watch maker - which is perhaps no surprise, seeing as it has been. 

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 presents you with choices. You can choose the strap which is a fairly common option. Being able to choose the lugs is something else entirely. So is having the option to choose the body materials and bezel colour.There are some limitations, but you're not limited to silver or rose gold here: there's titanium, aluminium or gold, there are even diamond bezels. There are matte black bodies with blue bezels, a rainbow of coloured aluminium bezels on a titanium body, or, as pictured here, black ceramic bezel on titanium body and many more. The price will vary depending on what you choose.

The Intel Atom Z34XX chipset sits at the heart of this watch as it did the previous model. There's 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, which you can use to store music on your phone, connecting to Bluetooth headphones, so you can have music without the need for your phone.

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45
hosts a 1.39-inch fully round display. There are no flat tyres here, like with the Moto legacy watches (which Fossil persists in running with). The Tag offers a 400 x 400 pixel resolution, resulting in 287ppi, which is typical of such a device. Just because it's Tag doesn't mean you'll get more resolution. However, Tag has used an AMOLED panel for rich blacks and covered it with a 2.5mm thick sapphire crystal cover for protection.

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 has a 410mAh battery, charged via a magnetic contact plate that attaches to the rear (which, in turn, needs to connect to a Micro-USB power source).The battery life isn't substantial. It will make it through the day, but don't be fooled into thinking you'll get more life here than you do on other smartwatches.
