Swiss watch manufacturer Tag Heuer has unveiled its second Android wear product the Tag Heuer Connected Modular 41 in a press meet yesterday. It is worth mentioning that this is a sequel to the already released TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45.
The watch comes with a dial of 41mm, but that isn’t the only change the watch has to offer. The Connected Modular 41 is both significantly less expensive and more powerful than the previous device too. Beginning with the price, this gone down by a whopping $350; though, even starting at $1200, the Modular 41 is still at the premium end of the smartwatch market.
The wearable includes the luxurious build-quality you might expect from the TAG Heuer name, but it’s essentially the same as its predecessor in terms of out-of-the-box design. You can buy it with a black or silver bezel with scratch-resistant, anti-reflective, sapphire-covered glass, and it includes the same mechanism that allows the Android Wear-based module to be swapped for a Calibre 5 mechanical module.
There is once again a wealth of customization options available too, including nine new straps, as well as different lugs and bezels, which could set you back several more thousand dollars for the most expensive setup.
As for the specs, the watch comes with a 390 x 390 AMOLED display at 326 ppi, with 350 nit maximum brightness. You’ll also find 1 GB of RAM inside, with 8 GB of internal storage space—up from the 512 MB RAM and 4 GB ROM of the previous smartwatch—and an unspecified Intel Atom Z34XX processor.
The Modular Connected 45 has NFC (and Google Pay support), Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi, GPS and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. Additionally, it’s compatible with Android 4.4 devices and higher and runs Android Wear (it’s not on Oreo yet but it should get the update in future).
The watch is launched at the US and you can view it at the Tag Heuer website and if you want to own one you’ll need to locate a store.
