Next gen horology…
As I am working in the space of digital technologies and signal processing, a colleague of mine brought this to my attention purely as a joke…but I was honestly impressed when I saw this!
Looking into it further, I realized that this isn’t a new development, and that other brands like Montblanc have been working in this space for some time. Therefore, I hope that isn’t a sign of horological snobbery that I just found out about Tag. It’s not at all far fetched to imagine the tool watches of the future requiring to have integrated smart technologies as a new standard. Just as Rolex was a pioneer, so it may be again. And don’t date rule out AP and RM taking a stab at this future. Interesting to consider, at the very least.

I don't know if Rolex, AP, GP and others
will jump into this arena but I have been tempted to try one of the TAG, or Mont Blanc "smart watches" as I am tired of seeing the Apple Watch on everyone's wrist.
Agreed. I’ll give something like this a try, but couldn’t get into Apple.
Maybe the other brands will stay out, but as internet of things (IoT) becomes way of life, I figure a watch of some sort may come into play.
Are use a Garmin for sports play golf and other …
I actually tried and bought this tag in the golf version and I kept it for two days and brought it back to the store as the battery was only lasting a couple hours if you kept the screen lit up all the time which was a big disappointment compared to my Ga...
Especially given even the iWatch has better battery then this. I also did get the first gen of the Mont-blanc. It is essentially the same OS as tag or even Hublot minus their own watch face…
The Google OS for watch is not as good as Garmin or Apple I find…maybe they will get there as I do like the idea. Give me a tank for of true sports/gps features like my Garmin but in a nicer watch case with nice watch face like the tag and am in!
