There’s another advantage over the Gen 2 that nobody has commented on yet: the charger is much better.
It sticks immediately, it stays firmly in place and there’s a small LED indicating that it’s charging.

I was very lucky to pick up mine the last day the stores were open.
Otherwise what would I do the next 15 days? 😁

Double tap the small empty dial space, choose FIT it will be one of the options.

It’s not an option inside Fit.

I think this option will come in an update. Every smartwatch I ever had on launch day, 45, Movado 2.0, etc, was buggy or missing features at launch. It will come, along with what I'm sure will be a brighter AOD, it totally sucks now

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” 😉

I meant to say I also have the calibre 5 module. I hate it honestly. It's too big to have such a plain dial. I got the first one, they didn't even have packaging for it yet, and the 16 was not even close to launched. So I will be selling the 5 as well. But yeah I am torn on buying a 16 or just selling everything. Sucks that no other TAG takes 22mm bands from the gen 3 besides the Monaco.

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?


If the bezel is in fact PVD, stay away, it will scratch. The DLC on my MARQ has scratched and I am super gentle with it. I'm told DLC is way stronger than PVD too. Although the PVD on my Porsche Design is still mint so who knows.

Tried on local tag , and as what u guys said, it looks way better in reality. (should release a gold one😝 )

But seriously, why at 3rd Gen still can't match the spec on LG URBANE 2 LTE @2016.......::facepalm1::

This is a common misunderstanding. DLC is a type of PVD. From what I understand PVD is the technique for coating and DLC is a type of costing that uses carbon which makes it more scratch resistant.

PVD treated surfaces can be very different in quality and how good they last.

From posts on here by @Calibre11 , it seems like the hardness of the underlying material affects how tough the coating is. Pvd on steel scratches a lot more easily than Pvd on ti.

1GB as far as I know.
I'd really like a confirmation of this, because 1GB of RAM is absolutely essential for Snapdragon 3100. Anything less than this amount of RAM is for me a reason to not buy. My Fossil Sport with Snapdragon 3100 and 512MB of RAM is extremely sluggish and a much worse performer than my TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 with also 512MB but with the Intel Atom.

Nope, it has an Intel Atom processor Z34XX (which is a processor they actually use in smartphones) but with 512MB of RAM and 4GB storage. I found the specs in this press release from the Golf Edition, which are the same for any other Gen2 Modular 45:

Gen2 Modular 41 was launched later, and it has 1GB of RAM and 8GB storage, but not the 45

You are correct, my apologies. So yeah, i am with you now. i hope it has 1GB like the 41. if not, that would suck. the fact they dont publish make me scared.
