TAG Heuer adds a 42mm model to its Connected Watch collection while enhancing the technology and feature set of the existing 45mm model. The new size responds to a request for a slimmer, more compact version of the smartwatch that the watch maker launched in 2015.
The new TAG Heuer Connected, comes in a new 42mm size.
The new 42mm model offers not only a slimmer case, but a clearly more elegant profile with its ergonomic steel pushers, thin bezel beneath the sapphire crystal, and a fully integrated bracelet.
With a ceramic bezel, the upgraded 45mm model is still quite sporty and features a larger crown for easier access to all adjustments. Additionally, TAG Heuer has added a bit of pressure to the pushers to mimic the feel of pushers on a mechanical watch.
For both Watch is connected TAG Heuer dimensions now include a new animated display called Riverside that conveys the futuristic effect of the passage of time. The new Wellness face provides information about the wearer’s workout regime directly on the home screen. This data could include the wearer’s heart rate and daily steps, for example.
