![]() I think it is still a bit awkward for the watch industry to consider new software as being news akin to new hardware, but it is just as important in the smartwatch age. Accordingly, the hiking software should be more robust and on par with what the competition is now offering. This was apparently always in the hardware but TAG Heuer wasn’t making use of it until now with this latest software upgrade. Of particular note is the new Trail & Hiking software which finally uses the hardware’s built-in barometer. This builds on TAG Heuer’s existing software (which was pretty to look at, but basic compared with some of the competition), and according to TAG Heuer includes not only more sport activity profiles, but also expanded data tracking and monitoring for many of them. The Sports Edition begins by adding an upgraded sports monitoring suite of software. ![]() The final new TAG Heuer Connected model is a 45mm-wide E4 “Sport Edition” that adds some new software and hardware features to the existing TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 collection. The special packaging for the Golf Edition watch even includes some TAG Heuer-branded golf balls. TAG Heuer says that the software includes information about over 40,000 golf courses and is designed to also help users improve their game, know their strengths and weaknesses, and overall make playing golf more enjoyable through a data-rich and hassle-free wearing experience. Meaning that without having to input information into the watch it tracks your game including where you are in the course, your score, and even what clubs you are using. According to TAG Heuer the intelligent software is now able to automatically track your golf game. More important is the new software that the Connected Golf Edition watches get. The watch features the same black case but comes with a white rubber strap as well as a black leather strap (with golf green stitching) included in the box. The other version is the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 42mm Golf Edition – which I believe is the first time the Golf Edition of the Connected has been offered in this size. One of these two black models is just the standard TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 42mm (reference SBR8081.BT6299) with the stock software and a black rubber strap. TAG Heuer also claims that these two 42mm-wide E4 watches are the lightest ever smartwatches produced by the company. ![]() These are more or less the same as the 2022 TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 42mm-wide models but now with black-coated titanium cases. Both feature DLC-coated 42mm-wide grade 2 titanium cases and have slightly domed sapphire crystals over the OLED touchscreens. Let’s start by talking about the new 42mm-wide models as they are very similar and have price points that are within $150 of each other. The three new Connected E4 watches include two 42mm-wide models and one 45mm-wide model. More importantly, TAG Heuer has clarified that these new versions of the Connected E4 will be eligible to upgrade to the newest Wear OS 3 operating system when it becomes available soon. With the upcoming release of a new Google Wear OS operating system, TAG Heuer may have wanted to wait a few months to release these new smartwatches, but with CES also happening in January (where other major smartwatches will be released), it makes sense for the Swiss brand to want its high-end smartwatches to get enough attention. Each of the versions comes in black DLC-coated titanium and focuses mainly on new software features, but with some updated hardware elements as well. At the outset of 2023, TAG Heuer is releasing three new versions of its popular Connected Calibre E4 smartwatches.
