So
the second 'Quartz' revolution is now really starting? If even mister Biver is helping?

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™ Z34X...
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

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...
