$1,800 smartwatch that needs to be charged every day

TAG Heuer has a new smart watch: the Connected Caliber E4 model is presented in two versions - with 42 and 45 mm screens. However, in terms of software and hardware, the novelty can hardly be called advanced: SoC Snapdragon Wear 4100+ will be two years old this summer, the software platform is Wear OS 2, although the same Galaxy Watch 4 uses Wear OS 3. However, Wear OS 3 for Connected Caliber E4 will still be released - later this year.

Both versions are equipped with AMOLED screens and the same set of functions, including heart rate sensor, NFC, compass, altimeter, GPS. The battery capacity varies: in the younger version - 330 mAh, in the older version - 430 mAh. Although the autonomy in both cases is small and amounts to a day. True, this is without limitation of functionality.

The base version of the TAG Heuer Connected Caliber E4 in 42mm stainless steel is $1,800, while the 45mm version (in this case, the screen diameter is 1.39 inches) is slightly more expensive at $2,050. The 45mm version will be offered with a titanium case for $2,550. Sales start next month.
