looks nice ! take more pictures please 😀

Will do, just installing stuff. But in a nutshell the watch looks and feels much more superior than TH 41, just can't compare these two really.

ps. The bezel is not rotating as some suggested here before.

No China 😀
they should have made the rubber bands like this one as well, to fill in all the area with no gaps.

Actually there is China there, but its hard to see, barely noticeable.

Like, seriously, this is my biggest problem too! It's what made the previous two generations so characteristically TAG Heuer! Now it's either the bracelet (I don't wear watches with bracelets though) or the watch looks like Samsung Galaxy Watch. I'm gutted!

This is looking different from what I saw during the preview event. The watch roll is as is, though.

Nothing, it was empty. Seriously.

This seems to be the presentation box for online orders. The box that comes when the watch is bought from TH Boutique or AD is slightly different. Will post a pic once I pick my watch tomorrow.

Thanks

What a waste of resources and shipping space.

I've never seen anything like it given the size of the product. Its really huge 😀

It is for accessories, like a watch band. I will post pics soon.

So got the watch today. I must say it does look better on than in pictures. The fact that it's made in China and stainless steel doesn't really make the watch look or feel cheap. With inflation over the last three years, I'd say the price is basically the same. I still feel like a sucker paying over 2k for a Chinese steel watch. I suppose this issue has been going on for years in the watch community with how one brand can charge so much more than another with the same ETA movement.

Changes
-Screen is noticably brighter, slightly higher res.
-With the 3100 chip, the AOD display now shows updated seconds in real time.
- Heart rate sensor looks legit, but still no speaker, honestly wtf TAG. Apple and Samsung had this for years.
-No longer modular, but I only had one set of lugs anyway. Won't be missed
-As others have said, the rubber straps don't hug the case anymore. This bothered me at first but looks ok, doesn't look as high end as the first and second gen because of this through.
-Super responsive so far. Even right out of the box. The 45 has gotten better over the years with updated, but is still a big laggy.
-Pushers and rotating crown are awesome.
-Stopwatch app works perfect. And updates AOD.
-All straps, even metal bracelet have quick release.
-Clasp on rubber strap is alot smaller due to not being modular anymore.

It's for when you order an extra strap. Tag gave me 30 dollars off since I ordered at the same time as the watch. This was not made known until delivery.

Gee... You confirming the fact that the detached rubber straps don't look as high-end anymore is really disappointing to me... I'm seriously thinking of getting a Skagen Falster 3, which even has a speaker, and save €1400 in the process. I don't think that the Connected looks much more premium any longer and definitely not €1400 more premium than a Falster 3...
