Even with all the setbacks and cost cutting from TAG, I am really liking this watch, and will be selling my 45 setup. The 45 will be missed, but this is the future, and the future is looking great. What can I sell my setup for? One 45 titanium module only minimal wear, ti lugs and one clasp, ti bracelet, and three rubber straps?

Or maybe you could sell just the smartwatch module for around 300-400€, and keep the ti lugs, ti bracelet, ti buckle, and the 3 rubber straps, buying a Calibre 5 and/or Calibre 16 modules “Connected to Eternity” 😉



These mechanical modules should probably go to the TH outlet stores now, so with a 30% discount you could have the C5 at 1120€ or the C16 at 1855€. The rest of the accessories (lugs, straps, bracelets, buckles) will keep retail price, but the mechanical modules and the complete Gen2 Modular watches should be available with 30% at the TH outlets

So first dilemma;
1) Do I: A. get it or B. just stay with my still awesome Connected Modular 45 and my two mechanical modules?
2) If A., do I get the black ceramic bezel with black rubber or the steel bezel with the Black rubber? My Connected Modular 45 is with black ceramic bezel.
Any thoughts?

Do it, and pre order the black! That's what I'm doing

Just so you know, although the bezel looks steel, it is actually pvd ceramic.

Someone who has a problem with the battery or whatever, or has crashed it, or want one as a spare part for the future to have one with a fresh battery

My opinion: A.
And get the black bezel with black rubber. It’s on my wrist right now and it’s awesome.

Doing B you would save a lot of money 😉, but If you can afford it and you really like it, do A, because you can still keep enjoying your mechanical modules “Connected to Eternity” with the modular accessories. And if you are not iPhone user, then you can tether more than one smartwatch to your phone, so you would still enjoy your Connected Modular 45 (I’m iPhone user, and this is one of the main reasons I did B)

About which one of these three Gen3, I would take the one with steel bracelet, and I would then order a rubber strap (for instance the black rubber strap with red stitching). If you buy it in this order, it’s much cheaper than buying now the watch with rubber strap and later the steel bracelet

Anyway my favourite Gen3 is the black titanium case, but steel with black ceramic bezel would be my second choice 👍

Long time lurker, first time poster/
Just received my Connected 2020 black bezel, stainless bracelet this morning and really enjoying it- although I haven’t even taken the plastic off the strap yet!

I’m a long time Apple Watch owner, most recent one being a Hermès Edition Series 5 (which in on eBay as of this morning). I’ve never owned a Wear OS watch.

Im sure I’ll go back to an Apple Watch at some point in the future maybe with a series 6 or 7 or at least purchase another one but I’ve just grown really bored of the rectangular shape and iterative updates.

Other than a few annoyances this morning with getting the tag connected all to recognize the watch (despite it being successfully connected to my iPhone 11 Pro and the Wear Os app) it’s been a very refreshing experience.

The quality of the hardware is fantastic and makes me miss my Submariner less thanks to the heft and size (compared to an Apple Watch that is).

Looking forward to purchasing a red sport band when they are available again-

The main thing that disappoints me is the dropping of the upgrade/trade-in program although I guess that was always a cherry on top - I do good they reestablish it or something similar in the future.

Happy to answer any questions !

That was my first taste as well, but now I think that the watch stands out more with the steel case than the full black one.

I was wondering how the antenna signal would go through a full steel watch...

I have a Sony Xperia and already three Wear OS tethered on it. I can definitely keep using my Connected Modular 45. I never wear though bracelets, so it is really just between the two versions with the black rubber strap. If I didn't have my Connected Modular 45 with black ceramic bezel, I'd definitely go for the black ceramic Connected 3. But now I like the silver bezel just as much as the black. It wasn't the case with the previous gen., where the steel bezel was cheaper and really not as nice. So, I'm completely undecided.

In that case (that you can still wear your Connected Modular 45 with black ceramic bezel also tethered to your Sony), I would go for the silver ceramic bezel Gen3 to have a more different look in both TH Connecteds 👍

I also like the matt finish of the silver ceramic bezel

Yes, the steel version maybe looks more luxury, and the black titanium version looks more sporty... my choice for the black titanium is also because -coming from the titanium Gen2- I would not like to get down in material quality moving to next Gen... but it’s also true that -at the moment- there is no bracelet for the black titanium version, and the bracelet fits the case much better than the rubber strap, so unless there’s also a black ceramic bracelet coming in the future, then it’s not easy to decide 😕... I would need to have both on my hands, but the option (or not) of the black bracelet would be also important 👍

They will be crazy not to put a black ceramic bracelet with the watch. In waiting for the black version as well, annoying is not out with the rest
