Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Hands-on with the $1,500 Tag Heuer Connected smartwatch”.
This is Dan Seaford at the verge and we are here in New York. Looking at the brand new Tag, Heuer Carrera connected watch, it’s a new SmartWatch from the Swiss watchmaker company runs Android wear, it’s got a touch screen like you’d expect on an Android wear device and it happens to have an Intel chip inside the watch itself. It looks like a classic Tag: Heuer watch. It looks very similar to the company’s analog line of watches that the Carrera line, the body itself, is made out of titanium. It makes it really light it’s it’s. It’S strikingly light. You’D expect it to weigh a bit more.
If you’re familiar with watches of this size, the face of the watch is 46. Millimeters definitely makes it large. You can see it next to my Moto 360 here, which is about the same size face. This is definitely a big watch. It’S kind of designed for a man’s wrist, though tag says that they will be introducing a women’s model at some point in the future. It’S got a rubber, strap titanium deployment clasp there.
So you can see that and then on the bottom it’s got a charging. Connector point for its to recharge your battery, which I say will last about a day of use. Of course, the big thing with this watch is that it’s going to cost fifteen hundred dollars.
You can buy it today online or at a handful of tag boutiques, but this is definitely a luxury watch. It’S designed to compete against the highest priced Apple watches, which run all the way up to $ 17,000. But there are some in a thousand a fifteen hundred dollar range and it’s definitely the most expensive Android wear watch we’ve seen yet one of the unique things about this is that buyers will be able to trade it in towards an analogue tag. Watch at some point. In the future, if they are tired of having the SmartWatch or just want something that will last forever there, you go.
That’S a quick look at the Tag. Heuer Carrera connected SmartWatch, running Android, wear .
