The smartwatch I've been wearing costs $2,750, and I've done everything in my power to justify it. It turns out, it wasn't that hard to do.

Yes, the Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Bright Black smartwatch costs $2,750, and if I had that kind of cash hanging about, I wouldn’t hesitate to splurge on it. Madness, you may be saying, as some of the best smartwatches you can buy cost less than $400.

The 45mm version has a black diamond-like carbon coating and highly polished gold accents, which really stand out against the matte black titanium case. The gold continues on the buttons and on the Tag Heuer logo embossed on the crown. It’s not too showy, which the 42mm Golden Bright version definitely is, and the mostly black color means it goes with everything. The sapphire crystal over the screen gives it a beautiful shine too.

Tag Heuer’s app is superb But the main reason I’m revisiting the Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4 is not the design, which I already liked, but the software. When it launched, the smartwatch had Wear OS 2 onboard, whereas both the Bright Black and Golden Bright models launch with Wear OS 3 installed. There’s also an update available for existing Connected Calibre E4 models. I wanted to see how this had changed the smartwatch and what Tag Heuer’s updated app was like.

The Tag Heuer app continues the high quality, luxurious, personal feeling you get from the smartwatch itself. It’s working with me, not against me. It also works very reliably, and I’ve had no problems with connection or reconnection. I haven’t worn the smartwatch overnight , but it has always synced with the app the instant I put the watch on in the morning. Tag Heuer has been making smartwatches since the beginning.

Yes, the most lusted-after complication on a traditional watch now has a digital equivalent, and you can see it “working” on your Connected Calibre E4. It’s ridiculous, but I absolutely love it, and if I wasn’t so attached to the Porsche watch face, I’d use it quite often.
