TAG Heuer after warranty period expires (i.e. after 2 years) - is this a hint towards the expected lifetime? Furthermore, its not Swiss made (for the time being, as JC Biver intends to transfer chip assembly to Switzerland)
Powered by an Intel® Atom™ Z34XX processor and driven by Android Wear OS, it offers all the features a usual of an Android-based smartwatch. Power reserve: 1 day.
One interesting quote from JCB regarding the potential of the smartwatch: “Yes, the success of connected watches still remains to be seen, but if Apple has already sold 5 million watches, it means there’s a market and potential out there.”
For TAG Heuer, JCB expects 50.000 specimens to be sold in the first 12 months after lauchn.
Available in the US immediately, in Switzerland until end of the month.
Best,
Magnus

I'm curious to see if this Tag Heuer Google Intel Smartwatch will succeed
It doesn't have the "cool" factor as the Apple Watch so guess we'll have to see how it goes. Cheers, Anthony
For, more question marks than I thought...
Some points come to mind: 1) Innovation potential: The watch uses a common software platform, Android Wear, and thus has, except design a few proprietary functions, few unique selling points. There is little novel about this watch except the possibility t...
Relevant but to be fair with Tag,
1/ This is the first 'credible' connected watch from a Swiss brand. A difficult bet but happy to see a Swiss brand taking it in a credible manner. All previous so-called Swiss connected watches were not. Tag is to me one of the brands with the more legiti...
Ummm Yes.... there is an orange strap option!
I unfortunately missed the launch today in NY, but can't wait to get to play with one. I am not sure it could pull me away from a mechanical watch or how much I would actually use it... but as gadgets go I would like to give it a go. Cheers Andrew ...
So
the second \'Quartz\' revolution is now really starting? If even mister Biver is helping?
M. Biver can say anything, nobody ever contradicts.
I've read the press-kit and some interviews here and there. I've also followed what the main said these last years. I think people are too much accepting anything he says. He is strong on Marketting and can create gold from lead (or is it gold plated?). H...
I do actually applaud some decisions
Namely the choice to get a mechanical replacement mechanism after the warranty expires. Sure, it\'s not going full Monty but at the same time it gives you a chance to enjoy the watch long after your Iwatch has been consigned to the dustbin (and not of his...
At first I understood it to be free of charge
But then it said US$ 1500, so not sure if that is on top...
That is on top, and its not the mechanism which is exchanged, you get a new watch which looks ...
similar to the Connected. Here the two are side-by-side: Best, Magnus ...
Technically, they do not replace the 'movement' but the entire watch...
against a similarly designed automatic watch, driven by the Cal. 5 (ETA 2824). Magnus
