2020 TAG Heuer Connected (E3) - Discussions Thread

oroloi

Hi Mark,
Similar to you I went from Apple Watch to Gen3 Connected and also using an iPhone, currently an XS Max. For me it was easy to set up and I just wanted some of my Notifications like SMS, eBay, PayPal and some others to work and it works well with an iPhone.

Phone calls can be answered but you can't talk dick tracy style and that's fine with me because I don't use that feature but comes in handy when walking/running and listening to my AirPods as I can answer a call on my Watch and talk via AirPods without taking my phone out of my pocket.

You can download some apps and they do work fine but google MAPS is useless and can't really do much from what I can see, I think it only works if you use an Android phone......maybe someone else can help if I'm wrong. I tried to get MAPS to work but it only shows where you are and won't navigate to where you want to go.

I use the TAG Heuer Sports App for Exercise and it Works BUT with some BUGS that need to be fixed, I emailed Tag and got no response, hopefully they can fix with the Next Update.

As you know the Apple Watch is excellent in many ways but like me if you are after a better looking watch that looks like a real watch the Gen3 will be perfect but it won't do everything the Apple Watch does. The gen3 has an excellent screen and its pretty fast, you will find its pretty easy to use just like the Apple Watch.

Hope the little above helps 😀

Sorry for the stupid question but trying to find the beta version.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, it is much appreciated. Like yourself, my main use of the watch is SMS, WhatsApp, Call and Email notifications - then the primary function is health data such as calories, steps and recording walks, hiit sessions and so forth. When you say there are some bug with the fitness side of things could you elaborate? Do you have all the info pull through from the watch to apple health on the iPhone?

The phone call functionality sounds perfect for me using AirPods too.

Google maps doesn't work on Android either, a known bug but who knows if or when Google will fix it

What I think is bugs within the Tag Fitness App is as follows.......
1 - When you start a Walk/etc session you will see 4 segments, KM - PACE - TIME - HEART RATE Which was perfect for workouts up until a month ago when for some reason/bug you can’t tap the screen to cycle through the segments to shift what’s important to you to go to the top and show the numbers larger. Tapping the screen to to shift things around the screen was very useful.
2 - To check your workouts on the watch your able to see what you have done in total KM as WEEKLY - LAST 30 DAYS - YEARLY, for whatever reason/bug the accumulated WEEKLY sessions shows you what you have done from Mon to Saturday THEN goes to ZERO on Sunday, if you do a workout on Sunday it will show you the distance for Sunday only and go back to Zero on Monday. Tag thinks one complete week is in two parts (mon-sat) & (sun on its own) this really bothers me.

I’ve tried re-starting the watch and even resetting/unpairing the watch and starting again but didn’t fix the issues.
I’m waiting for an UPDATE to hopefully fix the issues. I let TAG know but heard nothing from them.

I only wear smart watches at work and only during workouts so I don’t use the Apple Health app for steps or calorie stats. I just had a quick look in Health and some stats do show up from the Tag. All my Activity Sessions on the TAG Sports App go to my Apple Activity App and shows the following, total time, distance, calories, elevation gain, avg HR, avg pace but NO Maps.

Google Maps works well in Android.
You have to start the navigation in the phone and you can see / follow the instructions in the watch.
The watch is not autonomous, but it doesn’t mean that Maps doesn’t work.

Fix for number 1 is in the settings on the watch

thank you. Very helpful info!!!

You can put regular straps, but first you will need to brake the factory installed spring bars, and put standard spring bars. @TAG GUY was brave enough to did it 😉 It’s explained here:

Or in the end it will turn out that Gen3 is actually less powerful than Gen2 with its Intel smartphone processor? 😉

Or in the end it will turn out that Gen3 is actually less powerful than Gen2 with its Intel smartphone processor? 😉 Because Gen2 doesn’t have this problem running the WatchMaker watch faces 😗
