The new smartwatch with Android Wear, the TAG Heuer Connected, the first to come from a major Swiss watch manufacturer, is now official. It comes with a great design, because after all, it is a TAG Heuer Carrera, but in addition to that, they have Intel engineering and Android Wear as the operating system. Its price is $ 1.500.
TAG Heuer Connected, a smart watch
If we analyze it as a smartwatch, the TAG Heuer Connected is a smartwatch that looks like the rest of the smartwatches on the market. And it even comes without having some feature that was already common in almost all watches with Android Wear, the heart rate monitor. However, it stands out especially for its design. The core of the watch is 46 millimeters, and is made of titanium, with a sapphire crystal. It has Intel hardware: a dual-core processor and 1GB RAM, as well as Android Wear as the operating system. It will arrive with seven different colored straps, and includes water resistance. Its price is $ 1.500, and it will be available in the United States from today. It will arrive in Europe on November 12.
You can change it for a traditional watch
First of all, it is claimed that any user who buys the smartwatch and sees that he doesn't like it, will be able to exchange it for a mechanical watch. However, the TAG Heuer Connected is a watch that will become obsolete when better smartwatches are released, or when new versions of Android Wear are no longer compatible with this watch. That's why TAG Heuer says that after two years, all users who want to, will be able to exchange their TAG Heuer Connected for a mechanical TAG Heuer for an additional $ 1.500. Thus, we will have a traditional watch, which will never become obsolete, one of the shortcomings of current smart watches.
