Connects to iOS and Androidįor the first half of my time with the Calibre E4, I used it with the iPhone 13 Pro. I love the way it looks, and I like the way it makes me feel from the moment I close that iconic clasp on the strap.

But did I feel different? The Tag Heuer name has cachet it’s supremely comfortable due to its spot-on size, and the sapphire crystal is warm and inviting to touch. The Connected Calibre E4 is luxurious, elegant, and expertly built, with an awareness of what makes a good smartwatch without losing sight of what makes a Tag Heuer watch desirable. The bezel incorporates hour markings and the Tag Heuer insignia, and because it’s set under the crystal, it doesn’t affect touchscreen use. The pushers have a very mechanical feel to them, adding a quality feel, and the rotating crown helps you navigate through the watch’s menus with speed and precision. If you don’t like the strap, or want a few alternatives, Tag Heuer sells a variety of compatible straps for the Calibre E4 starting at $200. It’s such a recognizable design and helps identify the smartwatch as one made by Tag Heuer. I love the folding clasp though, which is easily adjusted and really does look cool. The rubber one on my review model is comfortable but can get a little sweaty, and it hasn’t got much “give” either, so I’ve had to wear it quite tightly or it tends to not sit squarely on my wrist. The 42mm Connected Calibre E4 has a polished stainless steel case and is attached to either a steel, rubber, or leather strap. The super-sharp, very bright 416 x 416 pixel screen definitively makes the most of the various Tag Heuer watch faces. With the right watch face, it has the classic Tag Heuer look too, but is never over the top, or worse, cheap-looking. It’s exactly the kind of reaction you want. He liked this one a lot, and said the shape, size, and design was the most appealing he’d seen. I showed it to a friend who doesn’t like the size and weight of most current smartwatches. For reference, it’s on my 6.5-inch wrist in the photos. The smaller 1.28-inch screen is just right, it fits under shirt cuffs, the curved sapphire crystal over it looks glorious, and the streamlined pushers and simple crown give it a seriously sophisticated look.

I’ve yet to wear the 45mm model, but based on previous experience and wearing the 42mm version this time, I’m confident that, again, the smaller smartwatch is the one that will suit most people.
